In my life's quest to stay totally confused, here is what just happened.
My wife just got a promotion at work, and called me to tell me...she is tickled pink, she has been pushing for this for 2 years. I am super happy for her, and have been behind her on this 100%, especially when things were good between us.
Also, small backstory. When I achieved my dream of playing in a band, she bought a bottle of champagne for me, and we celebrated with it (2 wks ago).
So, following the call, I sent her a supportive email: Sorry I had to whisper when you called...3 people were in my office. I have champagne in MY fridge now, because you will be living YOUR dream. Enjoy it, bask in it. You will be doing what you were meant to do.
You can’t imagine how happy I am for you, W.

PS If you’re not too whipped after all of this rollercoaster riding, I want to buy you dinner. This deserves a celebration.
HER: Thanks Mink!!
How appropriate, "Guitar Man" is on my ipod
ME: You didn’t answer about dinner.
HER: oh, you meant tonite...
that would be nice!
ME: Chauffeur at 4:00, the usual spot.
HER: ok :-)
So, a dinner will be nice. No expectations, just celebrating W's success!
