EXHAUSTING THE ROMANTIC POSSIBILITIES submitted by: Lynne Olcomendy
It was my 25th birthday. I
was pretty sure my boyfriend of nearly 4 years was going to propose.
He wanted to take me to dinner, but on my birthday I was extremely
ill. (Actually I made it thru part of the day at work - long enough to
receive the dozen long stemmed red roses - my favorite - that he'd
sent).
I was asleep on the couch,
near death I was sure, when he came over to see me. He gave me a huge
box with my birthday gift inside. I was really hoping it would be a
box inside a box etc. leading to an engagement ring. No such luck. It
was an exhaust manifold for my car.
I still married the man -
he proposed a couple of weeks later on the 4 year anniversary of
our first date -and wouldn't you know I had food in my mouth when he
popped the question - but that's another story...
