I baked a caked for my then girlfriend's 16th birthday (because I couldn't afford anything else lol) and she was on top of the world.

 

It was the weirdest looking thing ever, but she didn't care. The only thing that mattered was that I made it.

 

Needless to say I have made good use of the kitchen over the years.

This is a good idea. How are your baking skills Cyberic?

What's a girly wife anyway? I wear dresses, but I also wear jeans with holes in them. I rarely wear high heels or perfume. I put on some makeup, though  I can go without it. I hate purses and handbags in general. I have one bag, it's black and sporty looking. I rarely go to a hairdresser, which explains why I look like a witch. I've never had a pedicure or manicure in my life and I dislike nail polish. I hate romance novels and most romantic comedies. But I do like an occasional bubble bath. Am I girly, not girly or in between?

My mother, my sisters and my daughter like 'cute' stuff. A picture of kittens, jewelry, smelly herbs, etc. To me, that's being girly. It's not positive, not negative, it's just that some people like some things, and others don't. From this description, I would not call you girly.

Ew, Ew, Ew.

I like girly things such as nice leather handbags, shoes, boots, clothes.

I'm pretty good with meals, but not with desert. In fact, last year, I offered her an inexpensive gift (40$), but I also offered her that for one week, I was going to think of all the meals, and cook them all. I thought she'd love it, but she said: one week? why not one month? and we kinda got in a fight since I was insulted by her remark.

Book one night at Manoir Hovey in the Eastern Township. Leave the kids with grandma. Go canoe with your wife, or cycle, hike, run trails, or go see a play in the area. Finish the day at the manor's restaurant. I haven't been there in years, but now that I think about it, that's the gift I want next month!

Hey that sounds pretty good!  (substitute dog for kids, and have son take care of said dog)

 

I wouldn't touch that as a gift with a ten foot (3 meters?) pole. lol

 

I like your perspective though.

Yeap.  Last thing I want is something for the house, especially to clean or do "wife" duties, which I don't do anyway and I hate.

Yeah for my wife, day at the spa >>> canoeing & hiking.

Surprise cupcake and ice cream sundae going away party at work today.

 

So I win.

Pics of that would have been welcomed FFS.
