Indulge me in a bit of a story....
As I posted yesterday, Microsoft bought my company. After the shock -- and champagne -- wore off, I was feeling really lost last night. I'm only 30 and have worked at Danger for 8 years, so you can believe how intertwined my identity is with my job.
Peter had hockey games all evening. I admit to indulging in a bit of self-pity about him not being home on this night when I was feeling depressed.
I woke up early this morning to come in to a meeting and kissed Peter goodbye. "I made you a cheer-up snowman," he sleepy-mumbled. "I know!", I said, "I saw your drawing on the fridge whiteboard!"
And then I went outside.
He had filled up the pickup truck bed with snow from the hockey rink and literally made me a snowman in the middle of the night.
Best. Thing. Ever.

Man, and Valentine's week, too. Way to set the bar! Peter's going to get hatemail from spouses everywhere who are now going to be in the doghouse for their Valentine plans.

I don't do romantic, I generally wouldn't recognise romantic it if it bit me on the backside, but even I recognise that that is awesome with a neon flashing capital A...
He's given himself a problem now, though... how will he ever top that?

Wow. That is awesome. Simply awesome. *laughs* Sadly, I don't think I'd ever be creative enough to do something like that. Of course, I also don't have ready access to a truck-bed full of snow, but anyhow..
*hat off to Peter*

It's obvious that you two deserve each other, in the best way possible!

You might have a chance -- he likes hockey chicks! ;)

Poof is just lucky there wasn't enough snow to build a giant snow fort in the front yard. ;-)
