I Am Totally Spoiled!

I’m feeling pretty guilty right now because of my post yesterday about how my husband annoys me because he came through BIG-TIME for Valentine’s Day!
First I need to tell you that I had asked him “Are you doing anything for Valentine’s Day?” because we sometimes agree not to bother getting each other gifts for holidays like this. He said “No, I am not doing anything.” So, I thought, “Cool. I am off the hook.” I did end up getting him a chocolate covered apple as a little treat but otherwise I didn’t do anything — not even a card.
My first mistake was phrasing the question as “Are you DOING anything…” instead of saying “DID you DO anything…” because there is a difference between the two. Turns out, he had ordered me the Kindle 2!!!!!!!
Yes — I am getting a Kindle 2 — the Amazon electronic reader that I have been lusting after ever since I heard about it. I was going to get it for Christmas but decided it cost too much. Then I was glad I didn’t because they just released the new Kindle this past week, which has tons of upgrades but for the same price. So I was thinking I would get it for my birthday in September if I am good. But he ordered it for me earlier this week, and it should arrive within the next two weeks. Needless to say, I was speechless and amazed and overjoyed … and feeling massively guilty.
And guess what else — that wasn’t all he did. See the little photo of me that appears up in your web browser instead of the Blogger symbol? That is a favicon — he set one up for me on my blog. I mean how great is he — to use his computer skills for good instead of evil?
So I don’t blame you if you hate me … I would too because I am spoiled rotten! I just love my husband to pieces!
And I’ve been reading on other blogs about finding out your “love language.” Well, I’m pretty sure mine is “buy me gifts.”
Of all the things you could cover with chocolate, an ~apple~? Bleh.
Ohhhhhhhhh, congratulations, I am *SO FREAKING JEALOUS* of you right now!!!! I want a Kindle sooooo damn bad. Boyfriend has said IF we get a decent tax return we can discuss buying me one, so I’m crossing my fingers! Come on, government! MAMA NEEDS A KINDLE.
Do you know when yours is expected to arrive?
cool! I don’t know what a kindle is but I’m sure you’re going to be sharing a review soon.
I can’t wait till you get it and tell us all what you think. Way to go, hubby!
Congrats!!!! I saw the Kindle 2 last week and got sooooo mad that I didn’t wait a couple months!! I mean, I LOVE MINE, don’t get me wrong, but seriously?! A new one came out right after I got mine! Not cool. Anyways, hope you enjoy it! I know you will!!!
And I love your favicon! We learned how to do those in my web design class in high school. Or, my friends learned how to do those and I copied their work because I’m computer illiterate.
Well, I don’t hate you, but I am very jealous!!
Aww…that’s so sweet!
Glad you’re enjoying your “take”. You deserve it!!
Just be sure to give your guy a big ol’ smooch so he’ll do something great again next Valentine’sDay!!
You are a lucky gal! I am wanting a Kindle myself! A Kindle and a great hubster! Sounds like Cupid hit the mark!
Kindle… chocolate-covered apple… Kindle… chocolate-covered apple… Kindle…
I hope he at least got lucky last night
I can’t see the favicon – but I’m really impressed that he gave you a Kindle 2. He’s a star!
Wow, another Colleen up there!
This is very sweet, let us know how it goes when it comes in!
AND.. I left you some linky love in my V’day post, fyi!!
LOL that’s awesome!!
Who–hoo!! I know you are excited! Glad you had a great day.
The Five Love Languages is an awesome book. Love the favicon.
What a great hubby- Happy Valentine’s Day!
I had no idea what a kindle was. Thank you, google! What a great gadget~
Your favicon is to cool. Maybe, your generous husband can give us a favicon how to??
Have a great Sunday!
Sweet! You are SO loved!
Lucky!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
You are going to have to give us unlucky ones a review, especially on the differences from the Kindle 1.
Congratulations and tell your hubby good job.
Awwww…YAY. I remember you writing about wanting a Kindle a while ago. What a thoughtful guy! Off to clickety click if ya know what I mean.
$$$$$
Who says blogging isn’t educational? I had never heard of Kindle. 1 or 2.
Oh yay for nice husbands. Mine let me eat most of the cake we had intended to share. Mmmmm. I love cake.
M
I love that you have a favicon now!!! I think everyone should get one they are so cute.
What a great guy. The hubs and I totally agreed not to do anything this year I would have felt like such an a** if he didn’t stick to his word.
you know a little spoiling every now and again never hurt anyone.
Please let us know about the Kindle. I’m nervous about getting one for myself, since I love holding books so much!
What a great hubby you have! One of these days I’m going to learn how to make a favicon.
Yay! You got kindle 2. I love your favicon too, I just noticed it. So you have to post a review on the Kindle 2 okay? I really want one-I am sooooo jealous.
Wow J, that is too cool! A Kindle 2! We are probably not going to hear much from you if you are like me & get totally obsessed with the new Love Language bounty!! Ha! Can't wait to hear what the Kindle is like, sounds amazing!
LOL You are too cute! I was spoiled today too ♥ but I did kind of do something in return..I baked some cherry cupcakes
Happy Valentine's Day!
I speak the language of “buy me gifts” too. You are such a lucky girl and I can’t wait to hear all about the kindle when you start using it!
YAY!! Wifey victory!!
Hey Jenners!
Congrats on the Kindle. Let me know how you like it. I would love to give it a try, but it only works in the US. Dang – I wish it worked in Danang! (That was a really lame joke. We’re not even moving to Danang, we’re moving to Saigon. I should just delete it, but maybe it’ll get a chortle!!!)
Ciao!
