This will be a little corny and sappy, and maybe even a little cheap-sounding to all you younger members.....you've been warned...lol....
I always present my lady every year with a single long stemmed red rose, and a single white rose.....the red symbolizing my love for her, the white symbolizing the purity of that love. She loves this.
I also gave her a box of the Swiss chocolates she loves.....ordered from her favorite catalogue.
My lady is a simple gal with simple pleasures......so she requested that I take her to dinner at her fave place to eat......IHOP. Yeah, yeah, I know.....but she wanted to eat there.....what was I to do? Lol. And that woman NEVER gets tired of that friggin' place!
After dinner, we went home, and I pampered my lady for the rest of the evening.
We put on some some music CDs with the lights low......had a little wine......danced to some of our favorite slow jams......her favorite is a song called "Hands To Heaven" by a band called BREATHE, which has sort of become our song.
Afterwards, we sat and talked while I massaged her feet for her, helping to relieve her tensions away...relaxing her to the point of drowsiness.
I then left her for a few minutes and drew her a bath.
I filled the tub with nice hot water, just the way she likes it.
Into the water I poured scented oils, and sprinkled a good amount of red and white rose petals into the water.
Before bringing her in, I lit many scented candles all around the bathroom, an idea I stole from that movie "BULL DURHAM" (or WAS it Bull Durham? I forget.......).
I ushered her into the bathroom, assisted her with her clothes......and helped her into the tub. I gently bathed her, working up a nice lather.......and slowly and gently washed her hair for her.......tilting her head back and washing out the shampoo using a pitcher.
Her bath done......I helped her out of the tub and wrapped a huge towel around her.......and softly patted her dry.
I then led her into the bedroom for her naked, full body massage...using scented massage oils.
I think I will stop right there, as it gets kinda X-rated from that point on.....lol.
Whoa.....I got kinda carried away there....sorry about that....lol.........
That woman is the love of my life....and lord knows she puts up with enough shyte from me all year round.......she deserved a little pampering on a day like this.
