Definitely dont tell her. She will think you are trying to impress her or rub it in her face. Just wait until you definitely get it then let it casually slip in a conversation after you've been working for a few weeks.
Create some mystery. Intrigue her. Create a what else is he up to mindset?
Kevin, thanks for the text. Enjoyed coming here and seeing the shout-outs from everyone else. Very exciting. Keep your momentum going! Also consider sending an e-mail to the job seeker group, or dropping by on a Wednesday to tell them the good news like I did. It's a great pay-off.
So the big question is, what are you going to do with a whole $18K a year more? You'd be surprised how close that is to my entire salary. Congrats.

Thank you for all of the support everyone. Ok, so I obviously broke the DBing rule then. I couldn't help myself. I was so excited and wanted to also reassure my W that all was fine, so I did tell her this morning. I guess I should have held back and added a little mystery. But I am not sure how much "mystery" would have been obtained since she knew I was out of a job. I am not sure that it would have been good mystery keeping her thinking I am an unemployed bum.
So alright.
The job I interviewed for yesterday morning also called and offered my a position this afternoon. So I am on like cloud 9 right now. I was in need of some good news after being out of work for 2 weeks and longer since my notice. What a huge boost of joy for me.
I can start planning my life now the way I want to. I can start looking for a place I want to live in and I can go ahead and look at getting a newer car and really get my retirement going. I will have paid time off that I can now take trips with my girls. I am really looking forward to that.
I can't tell you just how much I am thanking God today for his good fortunes in my life.
For the job I am taking, I was made aware of what they work on and I already have the stuff I need to go over before I start my first day. I have 2 weeks to prepare myself and I will definitely be prepared.
I have my dog with me this weekend as well as my girls. I love my dog. She is a great sheltie. It is easier to just have her here than go by the house every day and let her out and back in and what not.
That is another thing I am looking at getting down the road not to far from now is a little dog for me and my girls since W won't give up our dog.
I am just real excited today. I think laying off the site for the last 2 weeks and spending time with my girls and on job stuff and myself with some friends has just really been good for me.
I am really looking forward to planning my future now. It is going to be great.

Wow! Really man, two offers that quickly just doesn't happen in this economy. You should feel really good about that.
I agree with Steve, Drew and Puppy, good job on the tulip plan.

I was just as stunned given the state of the economy. I feel ultra blessed.
Gonna try and find some tulips tomorrow. As I was looking for some tonight, D12 tells me that W already received roses from someone. I mentioned that to a friend and he told me to just ignore it. So that is what I am choosing to do. I will still deliver the card and tulips and they will be waiting for her when she returns home.
D8 and me played a good portion today and tonight in the snow. She had a blast in it. She could have played in it all night long. But I finally got cold and said it is time to head in. It apparently wore her out because she passed out not to long after coming in and getting dry.

You totally missed the point. The mystery is not her thinking you are umemployed, the mystery is when she finds out (without you telling her) that you did something completely on your own.
What did she say when you told her?
Everybody hurts. It's part of life. Don't miss the good stuff.
