He did a better job than I did (and I liked it...oh yeah!!), so I have him paint them for me on a regular basis. Oh, and he gives me diamonds too...! The Guy (I’m married to him)!

Funny thing, my husband and I were watching TV last night and this commercial came on. He says to me, 'Why can't I be that guy and buy you diamonds?', as he proceeds to take my socks off to give me a foot massage. So, I ask him, 'but would you paint my toe nails?' Of course, not that it matters, I don't really want him painting my toe nails.. not totally sure how they'd turn out. Then again, I may change my mind soon. I'm 5 months pregnant and as Leah points out, I may not be able to reach them on my own much longer. What would I rather have? I'd rather be able to stay home with our baby than have my husband spend 'our' money on something I don't really need. If it's not taking away from that, I know he will spoil me in any way he can.

He seems snarky and sarcastic. Which I love in most situations, but not in this commercial. He seems insincere. And so do those $99.99 diamonds. So in this case if I had to choose irritating commercial guy or a cheap, badly designed necklace, I'd choose the one I could hide away in my jewelry box. Obviously in real life, given the choice between a wonderful man and some outstanding diamonds, I'd choose the man. But this guy sucks. That guy doesn’t seem sweet and caring.

So, I'd go with the diamonds as they have a higher resale value. I find neither diamonds nor having my toenails painted particularly romantic.
