Ok guys and gals, if you've ever given or gotten a BAD valentines day gift, I need your help. There is a contest on a local radio station and I'm a finalist. I was WAY in the lead but somehow, another entry is quickly gaining (thinking someone has to be submitting multiple votes somehow) Anyhow, please read the short story below, then, go to the weblink posted below and vote!
Help me out, I owe this to my wife. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I was once a stupid cupid. Many years ago, I gave my wife a very dumb valentine’s day gift. At the time, my wife was a florist in Brookings and we lived in the country. I was an immature stupid young man (much like I still am today) and thought that I should get her something that we could ‘share’ on valentine’s day. So, I ordered an electric race track from JCPenney catalogue. (Yeh, I know).
To top it off, because of the weather, I didn’t have the chance to get into town to pick it up at the store so, I called my wife at the floral shop and asked her to pick up her own gift. (Yeh, I know).
My wife had been working about 72 hours straight at the floral shop and was exhausted. Maybe it was having to pick up her own gift or maybe it was getting a juvenile little boy’s toy instead of a nice set of pearls that made her just stand there and look at me with a blank stare but, needless to say, I didn’t get quite the ‘wow’ reaction that I was expecting from her – the kind that I had envisioned when I placed the order from the catalogue.
My wife was a good sport about it later and even set up the track (and it was a pretty cool track I tell ya) so we could have some ‘quality time’ together. It was fun, yes. Romantic, NO. DEFINITELY NO!
So, when I heard about the stupid cupid contest on 107.7, I swallowed my pride and entered. My story is now in the top 4 and I stand to win (for my dear wife) a diamond necklace, dinner out and a bouquet of flowers. All you have to do to help my wife get the present she deserved 10 years ago is to go to the below link and vote for “Race Set” in the poll for the stupid cupid contest. Do this for my wife, not me. I still owe her a good valentines day gift for this year and I’m still working on that (thinking maybe a new vacuum cleaner). THIS gift (the necklace, flowers and dinner) is to make up for the valentine’s day I blew so horrendously 10 years ago.
Trust me, it’s not easy to admit that I was such a stupid stupid man and made such a stupid stupid mistake! Thanks for helping me make this up to her and here’s the link:
