Trying to find the right present ..

Aloha Ladies!

In 1984 my William married me not knowing I was damaged goods. A few years after we got married I became deathly ill so ill I could not leave the house without his help. I have had so many operations and hospital stays that I have lost count. And my dear sweet William stayed with me through all these years being my doctor, cheerleader, coah, hair dresser, and houskeeper...etc... You name it he did it without a complaint coming from his mouth. He has fought with doctors in my defense, stood up to medical companies to get the medical care I needed, and has held down a job all these years so I never had to worry about money.

Most importantly, girls he has loved me with more love then I ever deserved. When my hair fell out, he would say "oh Honey no one will notice because you are beautiful with or with out hair". In addition, when I was looking like death was knocking at my door he would make me laugh at the predicument I was in. I feel as though he deserves someone who is healthy and someone who could of gave him kids instead of being stuck with some one like me. Never the less when I ask him for a divorce he always tells me that the warranty expired year ago so I am stuck with his little sweet butt. I love him so!

I am sorry but I can't write more because I am crying to much... I have so much more to tell you girls about my wonderful husband who I call "My Pot Of Gold".....

Girls my husband deserves the best present I can find because I feel he got short changed when he married me 19 years ago. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what to get sweet William... for an anniversary present? I have until May 5th... help please!

Aloha oye!

Your Hula Girl

Aloha,

Lei

In my world Mary the world can not be mushy enough ha ha ha... Mahalo for those great ideas but.... your not going to believe this but for Christmas I gave him a wedding ring and was going to have it engraved with Sure do love your little butt... from Wife from Hell... but those were to many words to engrave on his Hawaiian ring with my Name on it... So I settled for I will love you forever and then the date. On Saturday he is taking me out remember I told you guys he told me to get an evening dress... He has never asked me to get dressed up before. So this should be interesting. Hey Mary last Saturday I thought if I got sweet William wasted that he would tell me where we are going for our anniversary on Saturday but he knew what I was doing and passed out on me instead.. ha ha ha... It is funny but when we were first married I could get away with getting him drunk and him telling me every thing but not now... ha ha ha...

Mahalo for responding to my post and giving me your great ideas!

Aloha,

Hula Girl

Aloha,

Lei

I think one of the greatest gifts you could give to William is a print of the post you just wrote asking for suggestions. I think the testimony of your love for him leaps off the page and is more heartfelt than anything material you could buy for him. I believe your "Pot Of Gold" would feel extremely well loved if he was privileged to see what you wrote about him. Happy anniversary Leilani! Hugs! Kay

Lei he already has the greatest gift anyone could give him...YOU. He loves you so much taht all else is secondary. If you really want to get him something I'm sure the biggest surprise would be...now sit down for this...a great romantic home cooked dinner. This means that "you" cook it not get the neighbors in or call a restaurant:) Hugs, Bernie
Hugs, Bernie

He should get a kick out of that.... ha girls? He always ask whats the lastest gossip on this board... ha ha ha... he thinks were running a soap opera here... he reads the board almost every day... ha ha ha.... He says it is so I keep on the straight and narrow what ever that means? I don't think that is in my vocabulary... ha ha ha ha...

Sorry Bernie that it took me so long to respond to your responce but I went into shock after reading it.... and I am just now getting my little butt back on my feet. ha ha ha... I think I am going to print out my post and all the responses to it from you girls and give it to William Monday on our anniversary after the dinner I made ha ha ha. I know he would get a big kick out these responses...

Now Bernie you telling ole hula girl to cook with no help was a shock? Do you mean ..... Like aaahhh... not from the fire department etc Bernie?... ha ha ha.... That is great suggestion where are you going to be Bernie on May 5th about 5 in the afternoon California time? ha ha ha...

Okay if I can log on and ask you girls a bunch of dumb questions about cooking then your on chick I will cook for the guy. I think me being A.D.D. and dyslexic plays a big part in me not being a good cook. Can you imagine your mind fliting all over the place out of control and then try to figure out a teaspoon from a tablespoon and what was the last ingrediant you put in the bowl? it is tough... not impossible though... nothing in my world is impossible... ha ha ha. But it is hard even on Ritalin to control my thoughts. Weird ha? But true no one wants what is going on in my head.... But hey when have I ever let one of my disabilities get the best of me... ha ha ha.... Never! okay maybe a few times ha ha ha...

Bernie I am going to take a stab at an anniversary dinner without outside help. I know I can do it if I start on it early like 2 or 3 because if the food comes out bad I still have a few hours to right the wrongs... Okay I feel great even better then great which is a miracle in its slef.... so I am going to take my best shot!!

Mahalo for the suggestion Bernie! But ya better be by the computer when I cry for help! ha ha ha... I know what ya thinking Bernie...."how in the world did I ever get to be this old on my own?" ha?.... ha ha ha ha .... To all you girls reading this and have those thoughts let me say that It was challenging girls! ha ha ha..... Mahalo for all your kind words and ideas for this anniversary.... present Bernie!

Mahalo & Aloha!

BB I don't know about this cooking thing. Ya know what almost happened tonight. I was frying cube steak in the frying pan and some thing just told me to turn around and check on it. William had stuck the paper towels which sits on the counter right smack dab next to the burners. I caught it just in time... ha ha ha
