Hubby and I were chatting late late into the night last evening. We were counting ourselves among the lucky without too many wants for Christmas…ummm I mean besides the obvious complete home makeover and exotic tropical vacation for two. In all seriousness. The kids are alright.
So what do you get for the couple who already have all they desire? Hubby thinks a “coupon book” is a good idea. I can play this game! My book would have coupons for a sleep in and breakfast in bed, one free vacuum with no bitching, a date night in front of the fire planned by him, a love letter written on PAPER and a back rub with no strings. Done.
Now it’s his turn. This my friends is where the wheels fall off. In a mans world the coupon book looks something like this…. “Sex” “Sex” “Sex in this room” “Sex in that room” “You in my T-shirt” uhhh other things around sex that I am just not going to embarrass myself with by putting in print. Huh? Apparently 40 year old men really don’t need pretty ribbons and bows, thoughtful gestures and hugs, they just need to get it on? For a man…nothing says Merry Christmas like sex. Sigh.
Guess this is what is going on in the Suburbs.
FYI Hubby is not getting a coupon book.
I’m going to Wal-Mart.
Happy Holidays!
Linky Love For my Canadian Friends! Don’t miss my great giveaway for 2 family friendly and fab games. Ends Thursday!
Last time we had sex, I got pregnant (I’m 11 weeks). I have found puking in the bathroom, well within his earshot, every morning, sort of kills the mood…
haha!
mine’s good about telling me what he wants, but i’m way too practical for gift giving some times! i wouldn’t mind just saving money for a bigger present down the road!
So, do they sell Sex at walmart now?
Simple men are great. But it’s a lot more fun to be complicated :p
But isn’t all the sex worth it for the vacuuming, the sleep-ins (I think you should do several of those, by the way) and love letters?
I think 20 to 40 year old men have a lot in common. Too funny!
i like your coupon book! i need me some non-bitching vacuuming 🙂 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
i resemble that…i mean resent…lol
Haha! Well if you can’t find anything at Walmart at least you know what your fall back option can be. I bet it would be cheaper in the long run…
Yeah. I’m pretty sure you’ll get some good deals at wal-mart. Totally worth it.
Sounds like you could cover his needs with just one coupon, not so much a whole book!
be it they are 18 or 80.. it’s ALWAYS about sex!!!
coupon book is a cute idea. i did it was bf once for massage, special meal, etc….
At least they are easy to please!
Sounds like my husband, especially him not getting the coupon book, part!
