Just leave a note on the pillow when you leave for work, telling her how much you love her and appreciate her. Boy, it works better than a $100 dinner and a bottle of wine!

You're either sweetly sentimental or startlingly cheap. I'm not sure which . . .

One Perfect Rose

A single flower he sent me, since we met.
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet—
One perfect rose.

I knew the language of the floweret;
“My fragile leaves,” it said, “his heart enclose.”
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.

Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it’s always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

— Dorothy Parker.

Consider the possibility of both? I took notes on his post, and I’m going to file the serial numbers off that idea, and claim it as my own!
