Yesterday, I rushed home from a playdate with a friend just before sunset. I considered stopping for Starbucks, but had pretty much decided not to. Then I realized that I could slap one of our shiny blue bows on it and call it a Chanukah gift for dh (who has been a great sport about only receiving one gift this year). Then I had the thought, "Watch us both stop for Starbucks."
I considered not stopping, but figured that if I didn't, then dh wouldn't either and we wouldn't be able to enjoy the yummy goodness that is Starbucks. So I stopped and got my favorite and dh's favorite. When I hurried home, dh was not yet there. And so, his coffee was bow-toped and waiting for him on the dining room table.
Sure enough, he walks in a few minutes later carrying 2 cups of Starbucks--the exact same drinks that I got. And sure enough, he said he almost didn't stop.
He seemed mildly annoyed, but I thought it was cool as hell.
The coffee was pretty cool, but the real gift was being that in tune with each other again after everything we've dealt with in the past few years.

I think I told you that DH and I had the exact thing inscribed into each other's wedding rings when we married, discovered it when we compared after the wedding... We also gave each other the EXACT same Hallmark card for our first anniversary. I like your thought process re: coffee, btw :)
