No not a Christmas story, just appreciation. Last night while myLotting and watching TV, my boyfriend was playing on his computer a video game. Yes the life of living with an Actor can have it's lounging moments..LOL
A commercial of hot dogs came on and I have no clue why I said this but I said wow, I don't remember the last time I had a hot dog. Like years. So my boyfriend said hum yeah.. The video game was way too much fun. I really did not want hot dogs really.
So anyways after his early show today, he came home around noon time with two hot dogs for me.. Oh my goodness, you would have thought that I felt it was diamonds.
So my question is when was the last time someone did a little something out of no where just to please you and you where so surprised and appreciative to have this person in your life?
Trust me, I have had a difficult 2010, and he has his little ways of making me smile =)

How thoughtful of your boyfriend :)
I guess.. something thoughtful is my boyfriend redecorated his room and he bought picture frames and hung photos of us :)

How sweet of your boyfriend...will PLEASE tell him to send me one of those tasty Chicago hot dogs??? I haven't had one in a very LONG time!!! My husband will do little sweet things like that for me. I love going to Jack in the Box, however, the closest one is about 1 1/2 hours away. We will make a road trip of going up there just so I can get my Jack In The Box fix!! I have had a difficult 2010 as well..and have been a bit depressed being unemployed so any little gesture to me means far more than the expensive gifts.

How sweet of your hubby to go so far to please you with something as sweet and simple like this. 
I too as you have been unemployed in 2010 and I certainly do understand the depression. I will pray for us two to have a healthy, prosperous 2011. Filled with all the love and joy from our partners.

Well with all I have been thru lately with my Health, there are times I am just feeling totally down and wondering when all of this is ever going to end. Even the days that I am feeling better I am a little skeptical and almost doubtful as well. It often makes me wonder what next. But there have been times when I will get just a little note from someone or a little card or something that will help perk me up and remind me there are people out there praying for me and who do care.

My husband brings me coffee in bed almost every morning. He tries to make sure I take vitamins, etc. He can be a really sweety.

I had a male friend a few years ago who has since passed away by taking his own life. He was the kind of person who liked to make people feel special even though he was in so much pain mentally and emotionally. That year on my birthday we decided to go out to dinner together and while we were waiting for food he surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I was so surprised and felt so good that he thought enough of me to do that.

How sweet a bouquet of flowers shows love and appreciation. It is lovely to hear that he surprised you this way. It is very sad to hear that he took his life, as he must have truly been in great pain, far and beyond help.
A wonderful memory of someone is who was so caring, and your remembrance shows how much you cared for the person.
Sorry about your friend, and please keep him alive in your heart and memory. Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones.

Some men are this way and there is no real answer as to why, but you certainly have raised a lovely daughter as she will take your bonding traditions and apply them with her own children.

Sometimes we do not merit and warrant the small things. This is why I so love my boyfriend as he is very considerate. Thanks

You have roused my curiosity stating your boyfriend is an "actor", and has an "early show". Is he a newscaster? Of course, I should love a private mail to know if I know him as I used to live in your part of the world. 
Well, my husband surprises me quite a bit and I'm looking forward to the Yule to see what little things he's done to try to pull one over. One of the memories I have is my last birthday. I awoke to a dozen roses, and the first two Twilight movies and first three Twilight books. He had known I had been wanting to read them and we both enjoyed the first movie together. My husband is a lot like Edward's character in that he does everything in his power to make sure I'm happy. I really do appreciate all he does and how hard he works.

What a wonderful husband you have... See we read so many negative discussions sometimes that somehow we forget that not all are bad. I certainly have never had a man like this one. He goes all out of his way to make me happy. I did not think it would ever be possible to truly be loved. He had been my main emotional supporter all year round.
You husband goes all out with all the touches..
May you both be blessed with many, many more years of love and happiness and yes I will send you a message as to what he does as he is not a newscaster, but he played one once..

My husband is one of those people that really tries to listen to me. There aren't many things that I will ask for, but I do need to be grateful for the fact that he makes sure that all of my needs are fulfilled and even allows us to have some fun from time to time as well. So, the last time that I really felt grateful for having him in my life was last night. It was so cold and my toe is still very sore from where I crushed it with some firewood last week. Well, before he went to bed he made sure there was enough wood in the house to keep the fire going until I was going to go to bed.

Oh how sweet that hubby of yours to assure you are warm. Purpose for my discussion is that I had been seeing so much needs and wants and was curious as to how many of us were truly grateful for the little things in life.
What your hubby does is a grand thing as it shows that caring and love are important in a relationship.
So sorry about your little toe and hope it heals soon.

Too long ago to remember!
Five minutes after I wrote that first line above, I still couldn't think of one example. It's a bit sad.
Maybe this one. Back in 2009 when all these recession started, I also had a difficult time. A lot of people were laid off, and w've had to endure a salary cut. But at about Christmas time I received a personal letter from the GM of the company saying that he was re-instating my salary back. It made my year!

It is such a dreadful situation for so many of us to be living in this type of economy. You salary reinstatement sounds great. Wow, glad to hear that. You have not moved forward but at least not taken a back.
Tis the season my friend and hope you have a wonderful 2011.

Hello Hardworkinggurl,
Well, again I've been in a tough spot lately because of the break up. But a friend is comforting now. He made me forget the heartache I experienced 2 months before. It's nice of him. We just hang out together. It's not a date since we both pay for the expenses. Since it's almost Christmas, he said that the both of us should exchange gifts. It's really sweet of him. He also made me differentiate what is love and infatuation.

Although a friend cannot replace a love break up I think this is wonderful for you. Wow how neat about exchanging gifts. How sweet of this person to provide comfort especially this time of the year.
I so wish you lots of love and blessings during the years to come. You never know the friend might become more.. If not at least the friend will allow you the time to heal with comforting moments.
