First off, Fudge mix? Please! Anything that she has to mix with other ingredients to make into something edible is not a gift. IT IS WORK.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, the big V-day, it's a fixed day on the calendar. So regardless of how busy you were, or how much you had to work, you knew the big day was rapidly approaching. Which why it is inexcusable to have to go to a store at 8pm that day to buy FUDGE MIX. <BR/><BR/>Thirdly, the fact that you presented your lovely wife (and she is indeed lovely) with wonderful gifts earlier in the year, which she has still yet to use, does not render you free and clear of purchasing more gifts for her, namely chocolate.<BR/><BR/>You must remember something, no matter how wonderful you are (and I hear you are pretty wonderful) and how romantic or thoughtful you can be, you will always owe HBM or to you Her Bad Wife, a gift.<BR/><BR/>Because she will always trump you in that department. Until you figure out how to gestate and deliver a human being through your loins.<BR/><BR/>Hands down, she wins.<BR/><BR/>And quit whining. I see one uneaten chocolate in the box. She didn't completely make a pig of herself!Redneck Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947243296264284961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-2754930882780415192007-02-17T12:56:00.000-05:002007-02-17T12:56:00.000-05:00Sheesh, a man should know you can't leave chocolat...Sheesh, a man should know you can't leave chocolate alone like that.

If I had wanted to take him to task for such negligence, I would have written about the bag of fudge mix that I received from him on St-V Day. MIX. (Granted, it came with a red ribbon and silver heart-shaped fudge cutting thingie, but still. DIY.) But I did not write about the fudge mix because, yes, he did very well with the anniversary gifts this past year.<BR/><BR/>Still, I submit to you: fudge MIX.
