Some Couples...

I would much rather get a professional bike fit for VD than jewelry or candy (and I love chocolate)!

I don't know what I'd do if DH ever gave me a diamond anything - he knows better, anyway. What would I do with real jewelry?? Great for a lot of people, just not me. Skiing/biking stuff is always the best! I'm giving him the Zoot tri running shoes I got him for Christmas, but held back for Valentine's day when he lost his job (cutbacks), and he's giving me a Craft long underwear shirt and an Ibex ski hat.

Actually, a couple of years ago he pretended that he got me diamond earrings or a ring or something for Christmas - right down to wrapping an old ring box which contained a note telling me to go upstairs and look in the closet. I almost cried out of frustration as I was opening it - he really knows not to do anything like that, but still was very convincing. I was sooo relieved when the gift in the closet was a framed photograph that I had fallen in love with at a local gallery! We've joked for years about diamond tennis bracelets and tiaras and things, which is why he did it.

Saturday we're going to do Ski for Heart, which is a fund raiser for a local charity. He and I are aiming for 50km that day (we have 5 hours - maybe 56k, since that would be 2 laps of everything). Some friends will be joining us for 1/2 of it, but we'll definitely be spending the day together doing something fun. Then probably eating and renting movies and crashing out for the rest of the day.

I think the bike fitting is a great idea, Mr S!
