This is good strategy and will buffer the news that you spent all that money for the PCV. The question is should you give her the flowers and card before or after breaking the news?

 

Funny thing you should mention that.. I get home with flowers and a card and in addition to the flowers, I also bought a paid 4 day vacation to San Antonio, TX for our anniversary (just came back from a business trip and I loved it there) and I say to her: "Hon, didn't you get me anything for Valentine's day?" She looks me straight in the eye and says "Its out there (as she points to the garage) and says I recently put over $1200. on my Visa card and hid the parts in the garage! BUSTED! That was all my Stage 1 components, new helmet, new sissy bar etc.

Married close to 30 years now and can't keep a thing from her.. Good thing I suprised her with the mini vacation paid plans...
