Buying for your wife - yikes!

I'm your typical guy, which means I screw up every Christmas. Among other wrong items, I bought her a complete car detail. Bad move. I might just as well given her a chainsaw.

I think the problem is that I just don't listen intently enough. Most guys don't, and that's my problem. I've heard her say she would live to have her car completely detailed, so it looks new. I nailed it! Or so I thought.

She also needed a watch. I know Fossil makes a good one, so I got her one similar to the one I got her last time, with a different look. I heard two things: how much she loved the Bullova I gave her last time, and that she wanted something bigger and funkier. I'm not good with funkier, so I went the more conservative direction. Bad move.

I'm not criticizing my wife. She nailed it for me, as always. She really listens. She's awesome at it. I'm not. I need to be. I need help. I know I have a large female audience, and I need a volunteer to help me out. Bounce ideas off of before I screw things up again.

Her birthday is coming up in a month,  then our 15th wedding anniversary, then Valentine's day a week later. Help!

I suffer from seizures. Last night,  after working up the courage to talk to me about it, something I a admired because I know how difficult it had to be for her and it was the right thing to do. The problem is that soon after, I took a seizure related backdrop on the kitchen floor.

Please, I need a female volunteer that she doesn't know to help me. That chainsaw is looking pretty good right now... volunteers?

See you tomorrow.
