Four days to Valentines Day.......

Or, I wonder if diet pills are a bad gift. Its hard to know what a
good gift is. Sure, you can go with the basic heart shaped box of
chocolate and a bouquet of flowers, but that's just so.....easy.
Yeah, maybe I'll just do that.

I'm not buying anything this year, but if I were, I believe I'd have
to put more thought into it than just your basic flowers or
chocolate. How about new spark plugs and wires for your car? That's
a gift that just keeps on giving! Buy now at AutoZone, and get a
free keychain! Not only is it a keychain, but you can also use it to
gauge the plugs before you put them in! What a bargain!!

There's a '74 Chevrolet pick-up full of websites out there that will
tell you what the perfect gift is. "A heart shaped diamond
necklace!", "A red rose for every month/year you've been
together!", "A plush teddy bear that will record your own message to
that special someone!" (i'm not giving her a talking doll that could
later turn into Chucky!) "A massaging, pulsating foot spa!"

Foot spa? Everyone I know has one of these things in their closet.
Still in the original box. Still with some of the gift wrapping
paper on it. They tore off just enough of the paper to see what it
was, realized what it was, and kindly said, "Oh, you shouldn't have.
Really."

Trust me when I say this, one day, one of us will receive that same
exact foot spa for a gift.

Knowing what the perfect gift is, is really not that important.
What's really important is showing her how you feel. Show her you're
really sincere about your feelings. Make sure you communicate. And
always, always, tell her she's beautiful right before you ask her to
make you a sandwich and bring you a beer. Always.

Its always about the communication. Every girlfriend I've ever had,
always said, "Dave, you just don't communicate enough."

"But...."

"Oh, shut up!"

So guys, and gals, the best gift you can give this year to
your "snuggle bunny" is the gift of communication. Let out your
feelings. Send them an email.
