This year it's especially wonderful because this "peasant" gets to sleep half the day away whilst her boys make a mess of the otherwise clean house. I hope everyone had a great Holiday regardless of what you celebrated. But, I know what you've all come here for today. It's been plaguing you the entire week, right?
Come on. Humor me.
Because as we all know, it's all about Tony.
Last year, or maybe the year before, I can't remember, I bought him a brick.
I bought him one brick.
But it was to be installed here...
Not Speeding, Qualifying.

Now, I know you're all thinking What an awesome gift! If he doesn't like it you could hit him upside the head with it! But no. I was too cheap and the lacking space to get the replica brick, so what he opened was a certificate saying that it was purchased. Then, a few months later we received a map of where it was so we could visit. Again, something we have never done as we are here in New England and the brick is in North Carolina.
So this year, I decided that I'd book the four of us (bonus brother would rather poke his eyes out) a little get away to visit the precious new addition to his collection.
So I did.
We're going.
Oh. And I forgot to mention that while we are there, the Sprint series is running.
He also got a ticket for the race.
On the Start/Finish line.
With a fantastic view.
The boys and I will be hanging by the hotel pool while he's at the race. I also have family and cousins I haven't seen in 15 years living close by, so I suspect we will not be left missing out on anything.
So there ya have it.
He also got some other things, books, DVD sets, a new Jeff Gordon watch to replace the one that broke, but I suspect spending time with his family will be one of his favorites this year.
And I also suspect in a few months, there will be plenty of posts centered around Tony posing with his brick.
Awesome gift! Have a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just when I was thinking there was no way you could top that gift, you find another way to surprise and astound me! (Yeah, I bet that's what Tony was thinking too!) Nice job!!
ReplyDeletePerfect gift Juls. I know you are going to have the best time. :)
ReplyDeleteBut. . .what did YOU get? :wink: I mean, besides, that awesome trip. :D
Wave when you are travelling through VA on your way south in the spring.
Awesome gift. Huge Nascar fans here too. I bet he's over the top excited. I would be!!
ReplyDeletegreat present!!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course we'd love to see his brick.
:)
Very nice. Those are the best gifts, when you get to benefit from it too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! My BIL would love that; I'll have to share your idea with my sister (assuming it's not too late). For Christmas this year, she bought him a race experience in which he gets to ride along for six laps at a raceway. He got teary-eyed when he opened the gift!haha
ReplyDeleteVery cool...
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up girl. I had dated men that were dense as a brick, but never have I bought a brick for someone. That is a first!
Have a great day!
Ciao!
Did he tell you how awesome you are ;0)
ReplyDelete(((hugs)))Pat
Sounds like you had just as much fun as I did. Or you are going to soon anyway! I wish my kids would get up like yours do. lol They stopped that a couple of years ago and still I struggle to sleep on Christmas day. Can't happen.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool. I don't think my husband ever liked anything I gave him, including me and the kids. He was kinda hard to buy for.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Lola
You are such a good wife. I bet he's thrilled! Glad you had a lovely Christmas, I'm having vodka and peach juice on the rocks, garnished with (wait for it...) peaches. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteSo you guy's are coming to my town? Sweet!!
ReplyDeleteSpring Race??
I drive by the front door of the track every morning on the way to work.
I'll wave when I see ya!
Ooo eeeem geee, you are the best wife ever! I won't even share this post with Wayne. All the guy got from me this year was one new shirt. In my defence, he's being allowed to renovate my bathroom, when in reality, I would have rather had a professional getting the job done in half the time. I've had a toilet sitting in my bedroom for two months! Anyway, you da woman!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful gift and fun for every body.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break.
That sounds pretty awesome!! Tony is a very lucky guy to be married to a gal that gets him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! Not only for Tony, but for the rest of you too. Enjoy your trip! =)
ReplyDeleteYou have got to be the coolest wife ever. For me to be this cool.......well, it'd cost a lot more and involve flying to another country to watch lots of sweaty scrawny men trying to bicycle through foreign country side all for a yellow shirt.........
