For the past 3 years or so, I have been living a lie. And this year, my conscience got the better of me, well kind of. You see, for each of the main holiday's, I give HH a card that highlights the vast holiday cheer, the "Happy Birthday Honey Card", "Merry Christmas Naughty Elf Card", "Happy Valentines Day Spanky", you all know the drill. Well instead of getting a new card every year, I just recycle them. As soon as he finishes reading the card, I tuck it in my secret hiding spot for use the following year. This has been a continual game for me for quite sometime now, to the point of sheer humor when I present it to him. You must keep in mind, he has no clue that I am doing this.
Well this year, I made a boo boo. I gave him the Christmas Card instead of the Valentines Day Card (I should have looked closer, both have white and red, darn it). My plot was severely compromised, so I decided that it was time for me to give in and tell HH the truth about my double "greeting" life.
"Honey, those people at the store must have forgotten to switch out the Christmas Cards for the Valentines Day Cards."
Ok so I panicked and upon proper rationalization came to the conclusion that I must buy my way out of this particular situation. I am sure you all have heard the saying "A way to a man's heart is threw is stomach", I have heard that this hypothesis was one of great success. With that beginning said, my farm boy was presented, was a mountain of meat! Because I know that HH's absolute favorite dinner is steak, with a side of potato's and corn. Thus on this Lovey Dovey Day, I decided to splurge and buy him the "God" of all meats. So if you see this albino farm boy meandering around the countryside, be sure to stop and ask him if he enjoyed his fabulous gift, yet please keep mum about the the whole "Card Thing".
Sincerely,
Farming Fabulously
