Call right away all excited for you. "hey wife you'll never guess what I just scored?" string her along for a minute then tell her about the two tickets and that you wanted to tell her first. But don't ask her to go right away, save that for when you get home. So then get off the phone real quick. here kitty, kitty.
How about IM'ing this part? If I call, it would be unusual given that we (meaning she) have pretty much cut out the calls during the day. Or is it simply better for this to be done with my voice?
