Count Down to Valentine’s Day

 

Check the post date.  We’re on the count down. This year there’s the added pressure of Valentine’s Day falling on the weekend.  Oops did I say that?  

I hate it for ya, but now you’ve got to not 1, not 2, but three days of love, love, and more love to buy.  Here’s the first step (obviously where most of you go wrong.)  Send flowers! Don’t just send them, but send them to the office.  Don’t get it twisted.

Sending flowers is about one thing and one thing only – Office Envy!.  The gratitude you receive after sending flowers is not about the flowers at all. It’s about how good your love one felt walking through the office from the reception desk with their fresh bouquet for all the office to see. Wait, you thought it was the sentimental reasons? Again, let’s not get it twisted.  The payoff is still the same <hint hint>.

The verdict is still out as to whether men want or like to receive gifts at the office or work place.  If they are macking a honey in the work place, you might not benefit from “office envy.” If your man is  blue collar dude and working around more fellas, a delivery truck rolling up might work to your advantage. If he’s a corporate dude and you’ve been to his office, then you can send a trinket but keep it small.  If you don’t know who’s picture he has on his desk – skip this step all together – don’t send him jack.

Back to office envy.  The flowers need to arrive Friday morning on the 13th, because Valentine’s Day is on a Saturday.  You need to order now because this is the busiest day for florists with all the guilt gifts.  Don’t send late afternoon, unless you seriously upgrade.

The card… here is where you set it off.  Remember Valentine’s 2009 is a weekend.  The card should say “meet me….” Hurry up and catch up. Valentine’s Day is Saturday – you have to start on Friday.  You’re not thinking breakfast in bed at home are you? Make that bed and you’ll lie in it alone.

Don’t forget to arrange a babysitter so the kids won’t be left at daycare.   “Meet me” and somebody else is picking up the kids from daycare, that’s called a double right there.  Here’s how you make it a home run.

Check your bank statements because we’re about to add a few more items.  You know whether or not your love one wants to get romantic (in some cases freaky). So where are you meeting?  Now you need a room for 2 nights; tickets to that event she heard about on the radio or saw on www.DryerBuzz.com or her twitter.  Make sure you packed a bag and didn’t grab the outfit that makes her look fat. With all that you’re doing, this is a great time to slip in that little number you’ve been dying for her to try.

Ok so Friday she’s blushing over office envy and meeting you at the spot. Now you can make a night of it.  Decide if you want to head back to the kids on Saturday morning, with just a nice V-Day Breakfast, or you can keep the weekend rolling, double the gifts, double the fun, and double the pleasure.

You can even order more flowers.  What they hey, its once a year.  Envy makes the memories last longer. <wink wink>
