67 years ago today, a baby girl was born in Zanesville, Ohio, who would change my whole life.  See, that girl would grow up to be a college student who met a football player, and they totally did it.  Three times, in fact.  And thanks to her, I have someone to talk shit about on my blog.

My husband is really great.  I’m just going to say that now and get it out of the way so he doesn’t kill me when he reads this.

That motherfucker never buys me flowers.  EVER.  I mean, come on.  Three of your spawn carved their initials in the walls of my uterus, homie.  Would it kill you to throw a rose my way once in a while?

He’s going to say, “Shut up, ho, I totally give you flowers.”  And I’m going to follow that with a, “Whatever, hosehead.”  It’s not that he doesn’t ever, really, I guess.  It’s just that his delivery is all wrong.

Example:  Pick a Valentine’s Day, any Valentine’s Day.  The routine is he gets up, has some coffee, opens the fridge, says, “Oh crap, we’re low on milk!  I’ll be right back!”, hops in the car and comes home an hour later from Safeway with the very last flower arrangement they had crammed in the back of the cooler right next to the milk, which consists of one near-frozen rose, about 8 tons of baby’s breath, and some asparagus because someone bought all the bamboo stalks.  But at least he tried.

But there was this one year, and oh lord, he actually outdid himself.  He came home from work the night before my birthday with ohmygod this bouquet of flowers.  I can’t even tell you the flowers.  The thing was bigger than my torso (no small feat).  There were lilies and roses and shit I ain’t nevah seen before.  It was actually arranged. The vase was this ginormous round glass bowl, so you could see all the stalks.  It was To. Die. For.  I don’t think I have ever loved a gift more from him.  Like, I called his MOTHER to tell her about it, that’s how happy I was.  Like, I’m pretty sure I had sex with him because of it, too.  THAT GOOD.

For a few days, I was totally thrilled.  I suppose I harped on it a little too much, made too big a deal out of it, was too happy that he’d totally wasted what was obviously a buttload of money on me, because he started trying to disclaimer it, like he was hurt that I was so overly happy about one bouquet of flowers or something.  He’d start in with, “Well, I just grabbed it fr…” SHUT UP, DUDE.  Do NOT ruin this for me.  A bit later he’d say, “It’s just some stupid thing I..” UH UH.  No you don’t, fool.  He kept it up until one moment, when I didn’t catch him in time, and what does that moron blurt out?

“It was JUST a left-over bouquet from a function at work, that’s all!”

Oh, no he didn’t.  He did not tell me that he grabbed something off a table at work and gave it to me as my gift, did he?  Yes, yes he did.  That was information I could have gone my WHOLE LIFE not knowing.  Talk about a buzz kill, yo.  I’m pretty sure I un-had sex with him that night.

Point is, though he totally provides for my every need, buys me awesome Christmas gifts, gave me a shiny new laptop just because, and does not throw anything at me when he has to spend his one day a week off washing the laundry I was too busy blogging to get to, he sucks at flowers.  And flowers are the key to any woman’s heart, I don’t care who tells you what.  Diamonds are for cutting glass, that’s it.

There’s more, but it’s at my review blog, and I’m all about giving you the option to pass on that, so follow if you like, don’t if you don’t, but I actually have a little something to give away, in case you’re interested.  And no nudity this time, sorry.  Or you’re welcome, depending.
