Well, I asked over lunch if she was doing anything Saturday night, and she asked 'what would that be? A movie?" I said, no, something else, she asked again, I said not to wonder, I would take care of it. She then wanted to know when on Saturday, I said starting about 7pm, she mulled it over a bit and didn't seem against it, but said, no, it would be better after her exhibition in Japan, from which she returns Nov. 10.
Shucks - so the cat is a bit out of the bag - she knows that I am interested in taking her out - but on hold. It somehow doesn't seem quite as exciting to do smaller stuff (I'd been aiming at dinner in a neat restaurant in Stockholm, (you can see it in the movie "The Prize", in the elevator scene) followed by overnighting on a yacht).
It seems important to get away from both the kids and the house. Maybe a more local dinner and movie will do? The three important elements here seem to be surprise, difference from the usual routine, and maybe somehow flattering her pride?
Back for a bit to the drawing board - ideas of a smaller scale needed -

ps. wore a new shirt that I'd secretly bought myself this morning, producing mild surprise. This after she disappeared for a while outside last night, presumably to talk to OM on her cell phone, making me mad and jealous, which I hid. More pushback needed.
