Hope it's not too late

[what next?]

heard back from her about the tree:

Ok.
I appreciate the Christmas tree, taking out the trash & putting the dirt in the backyard. It was nice to come home to. I know it was meant to be a nice surprise but it was a bit unsettling when I came in to see someone had been in the house without my knowledge. I hope you can understand that. I only understood you were going to bring by the dirt for the backyard. In the future, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know & ask if you need to come into the house.
also, what happened to the lightbulb I had in the bathroom?

my reply:

I didn't plan on going inside the house but I told Trina that I thought you should have a Christmas tree since there is room for it in the house and I always said that we should do that when we have kids. I talked myself out of it because I didn't want you to freak out or get angry but she convinced me that it was a nice gesture and that I should do it. I hadn't thought of the idea before I got the Porsche. I won't go in without telling you first. Really, I have no need to go in at all and don't want you to feel unsettled coming home.

I called today about getting sod for the backyard and they are supposed to call me back about coming over for a quote. I can meet them over there but won't need to go in the house. I could install the filters if you would like me to and hook up the tivo for you but that is up to you.

I put the light bulb in for you.
