surprises

I generally like surprises. Rodney came home with a big surprise for me today.

He had planned to take tomorrow off and we were going to go to the zoo. He emailed me this morning to let me know his boss told him he had to work tomorrow to finish a big project they're working on. I was disappointed, but quickly accepted it.

Fast forward a few hours, when he calls me and tells me his boss has brought him 2 used golf clubs to try out and borrow for a while. Great, free clubs.

He came home this afternoon and told me he needed to tell me something and I better sit down. I was really hoping he was going to tell me he wasn't going to work tomorrow after all. Instead he told me he had actually bought the golf clubs from his boss. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty mad. Mad that he spent the money without talking to me, and sad that I was wrong about tomorrow. So I said, "I was really hoping you would say you didn't have to work tomorrow" and he said, "Well, the good news is...I didn't buy the golf clubs...and I don't have to work tomorrow!" I could have killed him right then. I'll be paying that one back eventually. I don't know when or how, but it will be good.
