Unoriginal

I took a friend's advice (Thanks Brittany) and told Matt that, yes, I loved my coffee mug, BUT I really would have loved to have something a little more "traditional" for Valentine's day (aka, flowers, chocolate, jewelry). He said, and I quote, "I THOUGHT about all those things, but then I realized that they really aren't very original. I wanted to get you something that you could say, "Well, that's Matt."" I can DEFINITELY say that, honey! It reminds me of a story I heard a few years back. A friend of a friend was dating a guy that was really into his car. For Valentine's Day one year, he bought her two new tires....for HER side of HIS car! What exactly do you say to that gift?
Matt's co-worker also had a very "original" gift for his wife this Valentine's Day. Him and Matt were shopping together. If they wouldn't have been, I fear I may not have received ANYTHING. Anyhow, Chance (Matt's friend/co-worker) walked up to the register while Matt was buying my coffee mug with.....a birdhouse. His wife got a new birdhouse for Valentine's Day! The best part of that is, he bought it because HE wanted it!

Well, I least I can USE my gift! I'm drinking coffee from my mug right now. She gets to have bird's shit all over her gift! Now THAT'S original!
