Valentine's Day is this Thursday (hope you didn't forget guys). I have no problem going out and buying a little something for my wife, but what I do have a problem with is the prices. Especially roses. Thankfully, A and I have a common thought...she doesn't need roses on Valentine's day. Don't get me wrong, she wants (and gets) flowers. I just have a problem paying the over the top prices for roses. Any other day of the year, a dozen roses don't cost that much. However, the card companies have blown this day out of the water and some moron decided that roses are the 'perfect' flower for this day. And so stores throughout the country (and possibly the world, I wouldn't know...I've only been to Canada) jack the prices up. Supply and demand, right? But are those the flowers that every woman wants? Probably not. Some women aren't picky, some are. I know what kind of flowers A likes, and those are the kind that I get for her. Aren't I great? (not all the time)
What is more important, spending some money on something you think she will like, or spend some money on what she will like? And don't get me wrong, I don't listen to her all the time, but on stuff like this, I am learning to listen and take her advise on what she wants. It isn't about how much you spend, it is about how much thought you put into it. Always get their opinion and follow it.
