I like surprises, but I don’t. I like to be surprised, but if I know one is coming, the anticipation eats at me. For instance, my husband told me a few days ago that we have plans for tonight.
“Oh? What are we going to do?” I raised my right eyebrow.
“It’s a surprise,” he said, a grin on his face. “That’s all I’m telling you.”
Ugh! Until now, I blocked this day out of my mind so I didn’t drive myself insane trying to figure out what the surprise could be. However, now that the day has come, I can’t stop wondering. And that’s a problem. Once I start to wonder, I obsess, and go through every possible scenario until I figure out what he has planned. I’ve ruined many good surprises this way. Darn me!
Maybe if I blog about this subject, I can relax a bit??? We’ll see.
What about you? How do you feel about surprises?

I quit enjoy surprises unless they are f the dietary variety. I don't want anything sprung on me at the dinner table.
ReplyDeleteSimilar to you, I can't keep from thinking about it. Borderline obsessive, but it only last a short while.
ReplyDeleteHave fun tonight!
Much rather be the surpriser vs. the surprisee. :) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh! How fun! I LOVE surprises! You'll have to let us know what that fantastic hubby planned for you--have a great time!
ReplyDeleteYay! I lurve surprises.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's a hot date! ;)
I'm in the same boat as you. I like surprises, but I don't want to know about it until it's time for the actual surprise!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like your surprise!
I hate being surprised. Especially if Spouse Creature wishes to whisk me off on a surprise vacation. I prefer to know ahead of time because I like to plan things out.
ReplyDeleteI hate surprises! I like to know everything ahead, I suppose that's why waiting is so hard for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jody and Winsong!! I hate surprises! I want to know what to expect and look forward to it! :) I hope your surprise is a good one, and it comes soon!
ReplyDeleteI like surprises I guess, but its on a case by case basis. I'm an Aries (stormy temperment by nature), so whether I'd like it or not just depends I guess.
ReplyDeleteGotta love surprises. Hope it's a big one.
ReplyDeleteI like surprises, but I think about them too much too. Usually until I figure them out :) That's so sweet you're hubby planned something for you. Relax, and enjoy your surprise tonight (I'm sure you deserve it)!
ReplyDeleteI like surprises, and I like that he is sweet enough to try and give them to you. :D SaWeet!
ReplyDeleteI love surprises...but I too will drive myself crazy trying to figure it out! LOL
ReplyDeleteSurprises can quickly consume me. They need to come to fruition quickly or they pain me just enough...
ReplyDeletewell, whatever it is,just make sure you let us know what it was! :) Now you have us all anticipating the suprise! lol
ReplyDeleteI like surprises when I don't know there is a surprise coming so then i'm, uh, surprised! Does that make any sense?
ReplyDeleteSee, in your scenerio, I'd be the same as you, sitting there trying to figure out what the heck the surprise is. Then I'd conjure up all sorts of possibilities, have all these great things that the surprise could be, then hubby would come home with McDonald's in a bag and a movie from the Red Box and be like, "Surprise!"
Then I'd be irritated and let down and that's no fun at all.
BUT, if I was dreading cooking that particular night and hubby surprised me with a movie and fastfood... that's a GREAT surprise!
Anyway, Here's to hoping your surprise was AWESOME tonight!
I'm with the "I hate 'em" crowd.
ReplyDeleteSurprises aren't good for a person who's day starts off with updating my daily things-to-do list, my weekly things-to-do list and my monthly things-to-do list. Somehow, surprises aren't good for those lists of mine! :)
I wish my husband would surprise me but he hardly ever does.
ReplyDeleteI'm the one who surprises people and I enjoy it.
