Cool. Just found out I got the tickets for the Alton Brown thing I'm going to take W to later this month. I think she'll be pumped.

Anyway, when to spring this on her....Anyone have any thoughts?

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.

Then be real cool about the tickets when you get home but be real pumped about it. When she can't stand it tell her you got it all planned out she just needs to be ready to go at x time on x date and you are handling the rest. Be confident and bold. Let the testosterone flow.

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?

AIIIGHT. Back with you in a little while. Just tried calling her cell (she's out running errands) and it went straight to VM. Hung up - want to talk to her in person.

OK, put the catnip out. Let's see if she likes it.

Called W as she and the kids were pulling into our driveway on the way back from running errands. After the initial pleasantries...

Me: "Wow, I just got a couple of tix from a client to something Alton Brown is taping at XXXX."

W: "That's pretty cool. When is it?" (Funny, I haven't asked you yet...)

Me: August 29th."

Then I hear my D5 yelling from the back seat...

Me: "Well, I just wanted to let you know. Let me let you go, sounds like you have your hands full, and I have a conference call coming in. See you"
