Did a search on the net and found some discount coupon codes for winter jackets and coats that I have thought of getting for the big boy as Valentine’s gift. But, he said he doesn’t need a winter jacket or coat, as he has a few of them already. Headache, headache, really don’t know what to get him.

Of course the big boy will always appreciate anything that provides entertainment, if i can’t think of anything else, will just buy him a DVD or I can always grab him a game or two with the Gamefly coupons. If you want, go over and see what other coupons you can get. They have a wide range of baby stuffs, women stuffs and lots of other things.

My friend Anna is organizing a Valentine’s dinner and inviting all the couples in the church to join her and her husband for a romantic dinner and dance. She has booked the upper floor of the magnificent Majestic Hotel in town and got a very good rate for the candlelight dinner. It’s a pity that the big boy is not here and we won’t be able to join them.

Well, though we are currently being separated physically by circumstances, we still do exchange gifts on Valentine’s day. The big boy usually gets me some romantic Valentine’s gifts (a.k.a. junks), whereas he usually gets practical gifts from me.

Haven’t decided what gifts to get him. Did find some Bestbuy coupon codes and Target coupon codes online. If I decide to order things from Bestbuy or Target, this online shopping coupons will be handy to get great gifts.

My consolation for this year’s Valentine’s Day is : this is going to be our last year of being separated on Valentine’s day and the reunion has a date.

This picture must be taken last year around December (see the Christmas tree?). He was back to Illinois for 2-3 months. Before he went back there, he was about 190lbs.

I think in this picture, he was already putting on at least 10 lbs. With a height of 6ft4in, he looked rather slim except for the beer belly. In fact, he claimed that he never was this slim since he was 20. That’s what 2 years of tropical weather and constantly in the sauna did to him, he lost at least 30 lbs living here.:-)

Fast forward to December 2007.

He weighs 230 lbs right now.He needs to get on a diet, don’t you think so? :-)

Hubby asked me what I would like for Christmas few days ago, I refused to tell him exactly what I want? That would just spoil the fun, wouldn’t it?
They are so many choices and varieties of holiday Christmas baskets, it shouldn’t be difficult to find something that his wife would love! He should know what his wife loves, and if he doesn’t know, he needs to find out! Whatever happened to effort and thoughts?

Do all men turn clueless and unromantic after they get married? I think it’s just being lazy, didn’t want to use though the excuse is always he doesn’t want to end up buying something that I would return.

When I announced to the parents of students that the center would be closed for a month, everyone assumed I would be flying over to meet hubby in IL for Christmas.:- )Unfortunately, we would be spending our Christmas apart again this year.

The original plan was for him to fly back here so that we can celebrate Christmas together. Though a bit disappointed that he would not be coming back here as planned, the brighter side of thing is that he is working a lot of hours at a better paying job. I am looking forward to visit him next spring when the weather gets warmer!
