Valentine's Day Sharing
Well, I hope Valentine’s Day brought you the desires of your heart. If you and your sweetie shared your love for each other through some outward expression of the bond that holds you together, you certainly had a joyous day. As for me, my lady gave her presents to me several days in advance. Oh, how blessed I am. She gave me two sets of earrings and a very nice diamond and white gold necklace. I was totally surprised. I got the gifts early because my wife was concerned that I might see the charges on our credit card before Valentine’s Day.
I had no such pressure to give my Valentine’s Day gifts to her early. So I waited. My plan was to buy my wife a nice necklace, but that plan got changed while we were on our way back home to North Myrtle Beach two days before Valentine’s Day. We had spent an enjoyable weekend visiting family in Northern Virginia and were taking our time driving home. Usually we travel I 95 South to I 40 South and then take Highway 17 into North Myrtle Beach. On this occasion, with my wife at the wheel, we continued down I 95 past Fayetteville, NC. We previously had seen several signs on the northbound side of I 95 advertising a Wig Shop in the Fayetteville area. On a whim, my wife suggested that we stop there. She knew that I had purchased a wig dressed as Annette at that shop several months earlier while on an outing to a Tri-Ess chapter meeting.
The interesting thing about my wife’s suggestion to stop is that she occasionally wears a wig that closely matches her own hair. She reserves those wearings for the “I am in a hurry and don’t have time to do my hair” outings. Her own hair is quite beautiful, and truthfully, I would love to have it on my head. On the other hand, my wife looks terrific in a wig similar to her own hairstyle. In fact, she has gotten numerous compliments on her hair when wearing her wig. Depending on who gave her the compliment, she might whisper to them that she is wearing a wig.
As we made our way to the wig shop, my wife said the stop was for her not me. I offered no protest since I was dressed in drab and thought that purchasing a wig would be a bit less than the pleasurable experience I had had before. I am not sure why I felt that way. The saleslady at the wig shop who helped me when I purchased a wig there earlier certainly knew that I was a male dressed en femme. Trying on wigs while en femme for a CD certainly means showing a short male haircut, at least it does for this girl.
Entering this wig shop is a dazzling experience. It literally has hundreds of different style wigs on display. The sheer number of choices was overwhelming to me. Not so for my wife. She eliminated dozens of styles and zeroed in on two short flip style wigs in a very short time. I suggested that she try both on. The sales clerk was helpful in fixing the hair in a manner suitable to my wife. Once my wife was wearing the wig she most preferred, the clerk suggested that she go outside to look at it in a mirror in full daylight. The clerk contended that my wife would get a better impression of the wig seeing it in daylight. I, of course, accompanied my wife on the venture. I must say, a wig does have a different look in daylight. I came to the conclusion that other lighting conditions tend to blend the imperfections in wigs. If a wig looks good in full daylight, then it is going to look good in any other light.
As we purchased the wig, my wife suggested that it be her Valentine’s Day gift. I said OK, but did not tell her that I had additional plans for her Valentine’s Day.
Getting my Valentine’s Day gifts early meant that I could wear those gifts while out and about. The two sets of earrings my wife gave me match each other. One set is has a ¼ carat CZ stone in each earring. They are held on with a small very strong magnet that makes the earrings look like they are for pierced ears. The other set has two dangling CZ stones that clip to my ear in such a way that they also look like they are for pierced ears. While shopping wearing both sets of earrings, I got complements on them and I got Madamed more than usual. I am sure the nice necklace I wore that my wife gave me helped.
Well now, back to the other part of my gift to my wife. When she went out in the morning on Valentine’s Day to a meeting, I got her a dozen deep, dark red roses complete with babies breath and other greenery. To accompany the roses, I got her the first ever humorous card I have given her. She tells me that I am a serious person, so I thought I would lighten the mood with a card. This particular Hallmark card has a bunny rabbit on the front with the words “It’s Valentine’s Day.” Inside it says, “How about a little bouncy bouncy!!?” Well, just let me say, “It worked!”
This was a very enjoyable Valentine’s Day indeed. I hope yours was equally as pleasant.
