 Posted: 11/21/03 - 16:04 Post subject: I have the best friggin' husband EVAH!
I just got a call from my receptionist. "I have something up here for you."
 I GOTZ FLOWERS! PRETTY PRETTY FLOWERS!
And a little note saying six words that made my week: "I am very proud of you." 
 I. Love. That. Man.

It's nice to know that he's as excited as you are and especially nice to know how proud he is of you!

Very very sweet. That last part reminds me of that diamond commercial "I love this man, I love him, I love him..."

yeah but what was totally uncool about that commercial is that he made a total butt of himself yelling it in the square for everyone, which was awesome, and she whispered it real quiet like so only he would hear. Wuss.
Hmmphh...I said that to you the other day and you didn't get all girly about it
Extra cool points for TP!!!

What totally sucks about that commercial is that if a guy screamed in a square for me, I'd be diggin' it big time. Nothing says I LOVE YOU more than a complete willingness to make a jackass out of yourself publicly. But the chick whispers it, and only because dude gives her a present. How shallow. So since me & TP both roll our eyes at that commercial, we adopted the I. Love. That. (Wo)man as our current expression of endearment.
We are strange, strange people.

Funny about things like this. My (male) reaction to the commercial is similar. I'm willing to allow that her lowered voice is due to the fact that it's almost been taken away by the moment but the message that I got (from the commercial) is that a woman will love you if you give her a diamond...and not just any diamond but a huge one. Shallow? Indeed. I wonder if the ad people considered that one? Okay, couple that with the number of people seeing the commercial, compare it to the number of people actually able to afford such a large rock, deduct the cost of the ad's production, and who's doing better after all? Then again, maybe the message was that if you can afford a trip to Europe (it was a European plaza/piazza, wasn't it?), you can afford diamonds.
News flash to Madison Avenue: I've lived in Europe and I've bought diamonds for my wife but that commercial isn't me.
Rant mode: OFF.
