I have learned that subtlty does not behoove me when it comes to trying to let Karl in on something, but giving a specific - great plan! <br /> That telling the children so they can tell Daddy is a great plan too. At least I recall it worked well for my mom. I learned to be prepared every time a birthday or Christmas was approaching as I could be certain Daddy would be asking soon!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11029838850583886300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-20043960782466369952009-12-12T04:54:27.744-08:002009-12-12T04:54:27.744-08:00Oh and I found out that a surprise party for me wa...Oh and I found out that a surprise party for me was narrowly averted recently. The word relief doesn't come close! I have already told Beloved that if he ever throws me one, I won't be attending.

Beloved likes getting me surprises and doesn't like it when I exchange them for exactly what I want ;) Growth happens here!

To him the "act of service" in preparing a surprise is more important than the actual gift. I have learned this about him and from early on have endeavored to surprise him once in a while.<br /><br />Me on the other hand, would much rather have what I *asked* for than be surprised. What I have learned to appreciate is all the work my man goes to to procure the surprise, be it a gift or an outing whatever.<br /><br />He is learning (slowly!! LOL) that to me getting what I was hoping for is the important thing. <br /><br />:)RavenMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446409798180864383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-54952941285010795962009-12-11T20:37:35.216-08:002009-12-11T20:37:35.216-08:00I must be dense.

"Because, well I am very good at it!" <br /><br />Love the proposal story...I thought B was going to propose too, it was coming so I was ready...and I thought it was it, I opened it and it was a blue vase I had seen and liked a few weeks prior...I loathe that vase to this day! Never have I been less appreciative for a thoughtful gift! ha So yeah, surprises can be not so good.<br /><br />In high school my friends threw me a surprise bday party and I cried and spent an hour in the bathroom.<br /><br />So I guess the answer is , I like surprises if they are something I want or am hoping for! ha ha<br /><br />And Analene, another sneaky way to be "subtle" is to tell the children what you want so they can pass it along...that seems to be working well for now!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616715579414833017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1186839552215047802.post-64151399243979661752009-12-11T17:20:14.732-08:002009-12-11T17:20:14.732-08:00Surprises are too stressful for me because I am ha...Surprises are too stressful for me because I am hard to surprise. However..... I LOVE surprising people because........well........because I am very good at it. I am seldom surprised because I typically figure it out. So my man has learned to ask for ideas and then he goes from there.

My mom wrapped me the most beautiful present one day. Never saw such a pretty package. I was so excited. I opened it with extreme wonderment.<br /><br /> A pair of red socks! Did I mention I don't care for red?<br /><br />My husband and I were dating. All about the store we both worked in our fellow workers were abuzz with what he got me. Someone mentioned a box. Someone mentioned maybe gold. I was pumped! He was going to ask me to MARRY HIM! <br />He took me to a fancy restaurant and pulled out the little box. I opened it with tears forming...a watch. <br /> <br />See.

I have been "subtle" lately in your same way...and sometimes have to still be careful b/c then a certain someone might become a little offended that he feels like I have to tell him b/c he doesn't know what I want, or that he doesn't know me... But he doesn't know what I want. And how would he unless I told him? Very tricky my dear. Very cute hat. :)Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07616715579414833017noreply@blogger.com
