My most recent highly scientific poll proves what I've long suspected! There is a gender-role-double-standard associated with who has red letter day event planning responsibilities!
Who has to plan the wedding anniversary? The guy!
Who has to plan the first date anniversary? The guy!
(This is a double-fault because we also had to plan the first date as well!)
Who has to plan Mother's Day? The guy!
Who has to plan Valentine's? The guy!
Who has to plan her birthday? The guy!
Who has to come up with a good Christmas present? The guy!
Other than our own birthday and Father's Day (if even applicable!), we have to plan everything!!
And women wonder why we have trouble coming up with original ideas all year long!!
And I've got 4 words about that that great idea we had for your birthday last year: Lightning in a bottle!
You didn't expect it and neither did we!
But every year we're supposed to out-do ourselves and make this year the best yet! Nevermind that guys are secondary to gals when it comes to special event planning and originality (don't even bring romantic-ism into this!).
So, help us out and let us focus on just the one or maybe two big events of the year. That way we'll have more chance of surprising you . . . and ourselves!

Surely with all the multi-tasking wives/moms have to do, guys can at least plan celebrations around special events. Just do it during commercials! Ha!
Hey B-Mom,
You'd think we'd learn a thing or two about multi-tasking and event-planning just by watching ya'll in action - but that would be giving ourselves a lot of credit!
There were times when I got it right and was pretty impressed with myself. However, I was pretty confused during the times when I missed mark. "What do you mean you don't like it?"
Oh, well! There's always next year!
Thanks for stopping by,
W
