Valentines – Day 6

Well, it is not a poem or a song, but took some thought…

Love,

Gift and Reaction: Well, she always loves chocolate so that was of course a good gift. 🙂 I just wasn’t able to find a Ritter Sport in time and ended up with some other fancy chocolate bar. She also liked the word Ophelimity. 😉

Valentiens – Day 5

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But sapphires are a girl’s best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won’t pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shaped
These rocks don’t lose their shape
Sapphires are a girl’s best friend

Tiffany’s, Cartier
Talk to me, Harry, Winston, tell me all about it
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But sapphires are a girl’s best friend

dun dun dun dun dun dun da
Love,
Your jewel laden husband

Gift and Reaction: Two pink sapphires to be used in earings. Unfortunately the gold smith couldn’t get them done before I left MG so we will have to get them made locally.

Valentines – Day 4

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I get coffee with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need any coffee?
I need some coffee to live.
Could it be coffee?
I want some coffee to live.

What do I do when coffee is away.
(Does it worry you to be thirsty)
How do you feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad because you’re on your own)
No, I get by with a little coffee from my friends,
Mmm, get coffee with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, gonna to try with a little help from my friends

Do you need any coffee?
I need some coffee to live.
Could it be coffee?
I want some coffee to live.

hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm……
Love,
Your husband that avoids coffee and send you to get it with your friends instead.

Gift & Reaction: She ended up going for not only Coffee, but lunch!

Valentines – Day 3

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

Where it began, I can’t begin to know when
But then I know it’s growing strong
Oh, wasn’t the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who’d believe you’d get a message

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Kimberly
Massages never seem so good
I’ve been inclined to believe it never would

And now look at me, whooo
And it don’t seem so crazy
I am using my hands too, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Kimberly
Massages never seem so good
Oh I’ve been inclined to believe I never would….

Ohhh, sweet Kimberly, massages never seem so good

Love,
Your one time massage giving husband

Gift & Reaction: Well she seems to be quite excited. So we will see how it goes tonight… 😉 😉

Valentines – Day 2

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

What do you think today’s gift is?

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we arise
we know there is always coffee

Lean on me, when you’re not awake
And I’ll bring your coffee
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
a place to sleep on.

Please swallow your coffee
I may have some donuts tomorrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don’t let show

Lean on me, when you’re not awake
And I’ll bring you coffee
I’ll help you carry on
For it won’t be long
‘Til I’m gonna need
a place to sleep on

Love,
Your decaffeinated husband.

Gift & Reaction: Well I am sure you guessed that today’s gift was a coffee. I drove Judah to preschool and on the way back grabed a Large French Vanilla from Tim Hortons. It went over well, but found out that I should be a little more up on my coffee places as Second Cup has coffee Tuesdays… I will keep that in mind for next year.

Valentines – Day 1

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

Here is the song she got…

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I Travel the world and the seven seas
just to get home and see you.
Some of them work at home
Some of them work down the street
Some of them work beside you
but I work on the other side…. (of the world)

I wanna see you and help you
I wanna know what’s inside you
(Whispering) Hold your head up, movin’ on
Keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on
Keep your head up, movin’ on
Hold your head up, movin’ on
Keep your head up, movin’ on
Movin’ on!

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I Travel the world and the seven seas
just to get home and see you.
Some of them work at home
Some of them work down the street
Some of them work beside you
but I work on the other side…. (of the world)

I’m gonna watch the kids
I’m gonna take them outside
Gonna use this time to take them away
I’m gonna let you finish your photo books

Love,
Your Rock and Roll Lover.

Gift & Reaction: Today’s gift was time without the kids or me. The problem is that she wants to use this on a different day. So… I fixed her photo programs on her computer instead.

The Valentines Experiement

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

So… the thought was to setup the 12daysofvalentines.com. It is an idea progress and hopefully it will come together next year, but this year I am trying something a little different. It is the 15 days of Valentines. Why 15, well that is how many days there is between my return from Madagascar and Valentines day. Here is the letter I gave to Kim…

———–

Kim,
As an individual who is continually striving to be more romantic, I have taken a step back this year and thought, “how can I take my romance to a whole new level?”

You are probably thinking, “Jeremy, how is that possible? Your ability to romance me already blows my mind.”

Well… I am not surprised… two minutes in heaven are better than one minute in heaven. Regardless all systems are a go…

Here we are at day one of 15 days of Valentines Cheer! Some are doing 12, or 10, or 1, but this year we will be doing 15. Each day will be broken out into an ultra-romantic poem, song, or other-wise… that will be written down, but that I will also sing and possibly dance to.

Love,
Your endearing husband Jeremy

IT Party 2

Check out the pictures.

Joke of the Week

Author: Jeremy Teeuwsen

I was just sent this joke of the week from someone at work……

A farmer named Sid was overseeing his stock in a remote moorland pasture in North Yorkshire when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leaned out the window and asked the farmer, “If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, Will you give me a calf?”

Sid looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing stock and calmly answers, “Sure, why not?”

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASApage on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany .

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer, turns to the farmer and says, “You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves.”

“That’s right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves,” says Sid.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the back of his car.

Then Sid says to the young man, “Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my calf?”

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, “Okay, why not?”

“You’re a Member of Parliament for our Government”, says Sid.

“Wow! That’s correct,” says the yuppie, “but how did you guess that?”

“No guessing required.” answered the farmer. “You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of pounds worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don’t know a thing about how working people make a living – or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. ..

Now give me back my dog!
