Shhhhhh

Okay, so yesterday I did not follow my own advice.  I did not alter my own behavior, instead trying to aggravate the hubby into altering his.  So, yeah, that didn't work.  I slept on it and apologized this morning, but I still wanted to do something nice for the hubby.  I thought about buying him flowers, to be a little cheesy, but that didn't quite fit what I wanted  to do.  I couldn't think of anything before I came home from work so I just gave up on the idea. Then I went to my parents' house to do laundry and he went to work.  Since tomorrow is going to be 75 degrees, I'm going to be wearing flip-flops and so I needed a pedicure.  On my way back to my parents' house, the radio station was giving away tickets to a concert for Road Recovery, a group of professional musicians that helps other musicians overcome addiction:

They were giving away tickets to caller number nine so I figured, "What the hell" and broke the law, making the call while driving through town. 

Call 1: busy. 

Call 2: busy.

Call 3: ring, ring, "Hello, 101.9." Me:  "Oh, uh, hi - I'm calling for the tickets?" 101.9: "What's your name?" Me: *trying not to drive into something* "Candice" 101.9: "Okay, Candice, can you make some kind of exclamation letting us know you're happy about winning two tickets to the Road Recovery concert?" Me: "No way!!  WOO HOO!!!!"  *finally pulls over to give DJ mailing info*

So, yeah - ta friggin' da!!  Best make-up-to-hubby gift ever.  Oh, and I have brownie pudding baking in the oven.  I'm hoping it turns out yummy; so far the batter tasted super yummy. But he doesn't know any of this because he's not home from work yet... so shhhhhhhh!  :-D
