  Hey folks,

  I just wanted to share with you a little project I have been working on for the last few months. My wife works very hard keeping up our home and taking care of our son. I really didn't think she was getting enough recognition so I started a blog. The idea was I would post something every day that she did that was awesome, and thus, why she rocks.

  http://whymywiferocks.blogspot.com/

  Today is her birthday and she'll finally see what I've been doing. I wanted to share with you guys just a few of the reasons why my wife rocks.

  Someone's getting lucky tonight!! Good idea. All that are married should probably be more thoughtful to our spouses.

  that is a good idea.....because after 25 years of marriage my sarcasm creeps in sometimes.

  I started saying nice things to my wife, even though it was Eddie Haskel like, and she knew it but after a few days she really perked up and was sad I had to be gone one night.

  Good on you, I'm sure she will be thrilled with it.

  I'd steal the idea too, but I'd have like 2 posts and be out of content.

  As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why: A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, ‘What are you thinking?’ She doesn’t care what you think.

  If a woman over 50 doesn’t want to watch the game, she doesn’t sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it’s usually more interesting.

  Women over 50 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won’t hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

  Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it’s like to be unappreciated. Women get psychic as they age.

  You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 50. Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

  Older women are forthright and honest.. They’ll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don’t ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

  Yes, we praise women over 50 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it’s not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 50, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.

  For all those men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?Here’s an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage.Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage.

  Mission accomplished. I actually showed my wife this post to break the surprise to her. She said she'll read the blog once she stops crying.

  Feel free to steal this idea and say it was your own, but you'll need to probably change the blog name (or find a different site host). I did buy her a few small gifts for her birthday, but I think this would have been sufficient, so I guess it is Grassroots wife gifting.

  Well, thanks for screwing up the curve!

  God, there's always one over-achieving shiny person that has to make the rest of us look like the average goobers we really are.

  To that I say, good day SIR!

  I SAID GOOD DAY!

  Seriously, all joking aside. That is a great idea, good job and don't stop there. You've got it started, might as well keep it going.

  Happy Birthday to your wife, BTW.
