a word of advice
If you plan on presenting Your Lovely Wife with a basket filled with dozens and dozens of hand-crafted origami roses, I heartily recommend that you determine your actual aptitude in the field of hand-crafting dozens and dozens of origami roses.
Prior to 9:00 pm on the evening before Valentine’s Day is best.
Otherwise, at 11:45 pm on the evening before Valentine’s Day, you might just find yourself downsizing your previous estimates.
From dozens and dozens.
To six.
Heed me… I KNOW OF WHICH I SPEAK.

Did you consider letting the cats have a shot at it? I expect you’d be surprised by their innate abilities in this area.
…Origami. That means shredded, right?

Brian: Geez… if you can’t keep them down, maybe you need to see if your chocolate has gone bad-
Oh. “Down low“. Sorry.
birchsprite: Thanks for the sympathy, Lurgy.
RJ: In my case, yes, yes it means shredded.
*sigh*

Hey, I saw this one on my journeys and it scared me. ONE PIECE OF PAPER.

Been there. I feel your pain.

I think we need a visual aid here.

Is your Lovely Wife aware that she is also The Luckiest Woman in the World? Hope you two had a splendid VD!
Monkeys rule!
Space and pants are ok, too.

For those who were hoping for a picture… My Lovely Wife took a few of the — ahem — “roses” to work, leaving a box filled with three roses at home.
When I went to take a picture, the camera laughed.
