Pre-Valentine's Day Notes to Self

Pre-Valentine’s Day Notes to Self

It’s been the snowiest February ever. And so, while my wife the Breadwinner (I’m the Sensitive Artist) is off making ends meet, I’ve had to muscle-up. By which I mean (screaming joints notwithstanding) facing lightyears-below-freezing temperatures while snow-shoveling my brains out. On the other hand, this unexpected deluge of white has taught me a lot about gaining (and losing) sexy points. Here are my Pre-Valentine’s Day Notes to Self:

  1. Candy and cutely suggestive card for wife: 10 sexy points

  2. Making a reservation at wife’s favorite restaurant: 20 sexy points

  3. Shoveling snow: 30 sexy points

  4. Whining incessantly about #3: minus 100 sexy points!

How do I get back to zero?

    Well, to get back to zero, I propose 7 times #1 or 3 times #2 plus 1 time # 1… 😉 or what about washing the dishes, hoovering the house, cooking dinner, morning coffee at her bed, invitation to theatre or concert… whatever your wife would enjoy.

  2. My Favorite Guy just wiped down the shower for this fibromyagiac (is that a word?) octogenarian. Lots ‘o points for that!

    Soo funny x

    Sometimes math is just not very much fun. But somehow I have a feeling you’ll make it work!

    Too funny! Any longings for California, Mitch?

    Do you get any points for the cool picture attached to this post?

    Hmmm, there must be some type of whine control therapy available.

  8. SanVercell says:

    You are too funny! Cut out the whining and stay above zero. It’s a hard job but someone’s got to do it.

  9. Nancy Ruegg says:

    I agree with peterspetra above: look around the house and see what needs doing. You get bonus points for being a self-starter. Or surprise her with dinner simmering on the stove when she gets home. That’s worth 100 points right there!

  10. Better watch out for #4.

  11. ruthsoaper says:

    Things like warming her car in the morning, filling it with gas or washing it would all be in the plus column.

  12. ibarynt says:

    These sexy points are a treasure.

  13. 🤣🤣⛄️Funny, Mitch.

    🤣🤣🤣 It’s very funny!

  16. Enter a time machine and skip #3.

  17. Ab says:

    Too funny! Happy Valentine’s to you and your wife, Mitch. 💝

  18. sorry mitch. my hubby would have told you all sexy points come in at 1. yeah, i know, no incentive, but those can be as easily erased as yours.
