Do you know Ed Hotspur? If not, you should. He is a brilliant blogger, and he gets us all to join in his craziness.
He came up with this idea of having people do a romantic post every Monday. I personally think that scheduling romance is what kills it. And if you look at my past posts for this series you will find that I tend to put a slightly weird and humorous slant on them. But I do try to do my part.
Today, I am approaching this project from a new perspective. Instead of spending hours doing some sappy, cute bit of writing, or another love song, or funny Photoshop pictures, I am going to do something truly romantic. I am going to spend the entire day… until Mollie gets out of school… shopping for the perfect gifts for my wife. Don’t get me wrong, this is as last-minute as it sounds. We already have a really good gift for her. But it isn’t the kind you open on Christmas, more like the kind you find out that it is going to happen after Christmas. So I need some stuff for her to actually open on the day.
Oh, and while I am out, I am going to try to find some presents for my brothers and others in the family that are hard to shop for. My wife does most of the Christmas shopping. Because she is good at it and I am not. But this time I am going to try to take some of that off her plate.
And that is how sweet I am.

Pouring My Art Out 
Or, NOW* that is Romantic. Not “NOT”. Because that would mean it’s not…yeah…..
Why is there no spell checker in these little comment boxes. I always look like a moron.
Not THAT is romantic! Good luck with the shopping. I’ve barely started!
Nothing like waiting for the last minute. Good luck to you, too.
I’m not scheduling romance, PMAO – only the posts about it.
I know that. But I don’t feel my day is complete if I don’t tease you a little, even though you always get in the last laugh.
I never get the last laugh, because I’m so damn funny! Looking!
Self-depricational humor, he parries my thrust, and takes a wild swing at my legs… I jump to avoid the cutting bight of the steel…
Or is that ‘bite’ of the steel, dang it???
Tighpoes!
Is that that kickboxing exercise video thing with Billy Banks or whatever?
Tie beau?
Thai bow…

I give it half an hour shopping before all the joy and romance is sucked out of you! Soul destroying work, and there are people who actually like shopping. I only shop for two nieces, but they are easy to buy for online.
My gift to my family is usually doing all the christmas dinner cooking on my own, I’m happy pottering in the kitchen for hours so they can relax.
You are a renaissance man… unless I spelled it wrong, and then you are just cool.
I think this is all pretty damn romantic Art. Good luck shopping. I’m sure you’ll find just the thing to make her smile.
I better.
