Hud--I think I need to think about this. Mr. Wonderful is not inclined to see me if plans are made in advance. I've learned that spontaneity works well for us... and since I'm not home when he picks up the girls, I'd have to do it on the phone. If he's not in his car without them, I'm usually screwed.

He usually phones me on Sunday morning to ask me, "What time would you like the girls to be home?" I was sort of hoping to spring a surprise by suggesting I come over to get them.

So I'm interested in tweaking this a bit further--e.g. it needs to be spontaneous. Now I'm probably journaling: he also likes the fact that I put some thought into doing things for him (i.e. he doesn't seem to appreciate my spontaneity as much as he does a plan). You see my dilemma?

If I plan it, it has to come off as being spontaneous. He loves thwarting me when I do make plans (Mr. P/A man comes out fully dressed and ready for action).

And Bruce wants to be a nice shark...
