Today is my wife's birthday.

Since I never withhold anything she desires, it becomes more difficult every year to get her something she doesn't already have. I pretty much let her go to the store whenever she can give me a couple of iron-clad reasons why she absolutely has to. So I made a list. Then I went down the list, hoping to find something, anything, that was lacking:

House - check.

Car - check.

Extra set of every-day clothes - check.

A Sunday outfit, complete with those silly shoes - check.

A couple of do-dads for when she wants to look extra-pretty - check.

Do you see what I mean? What am I supposed to do? Well, I came up with something. I mean something good. I knocked the mark-up on all the fine, doctrinally sound Thirsty Theologian merchandise down to 0%. I'm going to let her pick out anything she wants and buy it for cost. I'll probably leave it marked down like that for the rest of the month so she can take her time, because I know it will be tough to choose.

Happy birthday, Honey! Nothing's to good for you!
