Have you all met MsCritique? She’s my newest blogging buddy, we randomly started following each other on twitter, and now we are totally BFF. I’ve been scrolling through her archives and I’m all, girl, you HAVE to guest post for me. Being a proud survivour of a long distance relationship I loved this sweet piece that she wrote for her Silver Fox.

For about two weeks of every month, SilverFox and I are in different cities doing our own thang. We are, I guess what you would call a modern couple. (But not keys in a fruit bowl modern, if you know what I mean!)

The thing about SilverFox is that he is complete romantic. But the last thing he’d do is propose in Paris or send me red roses. No clichés here. Uh-uh. Nope. For instance, I’ll hop out of the shower to find a present waiting on my pillow. Or say he’ll drive 12 hours to surprise me when I’m in a different state. And just to show off, he’ll prepare an incredible mezze plate, complete with music and chilled Sav waiting for me and my girls after a big shopping spree.

But I’ve come to realise, it really is the small things that count. Like always giving me the fluffy towel, or the last scallop in his pasta. Or even something as simple as a cute card or a photobooth pic.

Can you remember the last time you sent someone a cute picture? Go’n, do it now. Just don’t send it to your boss and then have to get everyone to keep watch while you delete it from his email.

You heard the woman. Go. Feel free to tweet me or MsCritique a cute picture too. We love all that shit.
