"Sweet Tattoo Honey!" 15 and a Half Roma

Let's face it guys, love is like a roller coaster rather you like it or not. As much as we'd like our relationships to be happy all the time it's not going to happen. Sometimes we feel like the relationship is stuck and we're trapped in a boring circle. We ask ourselves, "What should I do to stir things up a bit and 'spice up' the relationship?"
Taking her a gift as a surprise just might do the trick. Taking her gifts all the time would get old, but spontaneously bringing her a gift could ricochet a staggering relationship towards a happier direction. And there's no better time to take her gifts then when she least expects it, especially after moments she's done something of which she's proud.
Your impeccable timing to present her a gift will increase her happiness. She expects gifts for Valentine's Day and her Birthday, but certainly not for the moments from the list further down! I know you all have learned that women like to be rewarded for making good decisions or for something they've achieved. That's why they ask us how the new shoes she just bought look on her or if we like her new wardrobe that she's going to wear for the interview. Noticing those special moments is priceless.
Reward her for something you like or something she's happy about that she did. Congratulate her for an achievement or accomplishment. Wish her luck on something she's excited about. Or show her how proud you are of her for overcoming a challenge in her life. For these special moments find unique, simple gifts that delightfully surprise her and make her swell with joy. If you get flowers don't just get ordinary roses, get something unusual and bright, a bouquet with yellows, oranges and purple. I do love taking her flowers, but I also I love sweets. Girls love when guys are vulnerable and there's no better way to show your soft, lovable side than to step into the kitchen and make her a sweet.
Try something easy like heart-shaped sugar cookies or choose from some easy recipes for chocolate dipped strawberries. I know for some men this is not a very "manly" thing to do. And no I'm not going to suggest you become a pansy and join Mary Kay to learn about all the latest new make-ups. It just takes one simple recipe to learn and she'll definitely be glad you did. And as for the special occasions here is a short list to start with.

We may think our wants equal our needs. In other words, that we just have to have a certain pair of shoes or gadget to be happy, successful, etc. While this can seem simple when we're talking about basic needs like shelter and food, it can get murky when we're looking at other items. Here's an easy way to really get conscious about determining the difference between a need and want.Weighing In is a technique for cutting through the financial fog that envelops so many overshoppers. Weighing In involves the disciplined recording of purchases-and something more. You also categorize each purchase, choosing from a master list that groups expenses into logical bins: Home, Food, Clothing, Entertainment, Education, and so on. And you assign each purchase a Necessity Score, based on your dispassionate evaluation of how much you need it. (Need, not want.)
This data is entered into the Daily Weigh-In Form, which I introduced last posting. Here's the form again:Let's focus on the concept of necessity.In the fourth column, you assign each purchase a Necessity Score: 0 if the purchase is totally unnecessary, 1/3 if it's not very necessary, 2/3 if it's pretty necessary, and 1 if it's entirely necessary.There is, of course, a certain subjectivity to assigning necessity scores; the decision will depend to some extent on your psychological awareness, even on your existing debt level and your present and future expenses. But here's a rough guide. If you fell and broke your leg during the week, the check to the orthopedist would be entirely necessary; you'd give that a Necessity Score of 1.
