Why I have the best husband ever

[jethrien]

We're currently in rehearsals for a play that opens in a little over a week. (Probably more on that at some point, but suffice it to say, it's an Ayn Rand, I don't like the play very much, and we both have relatively minor roles. If you're bored and in the area, it will probably be moderately amusing, but don't feel bad about missing it.) When we started rehearsals, Chuckro told them we needed either Wednesday or Thursday off every week but dress rehearsal week for our weekly gaming night. This week, we've got Thursday, and thus planned to do gaming that night. I teased him about being in trouble for skipping Valentine's Day, but made it clear I didn't actually mind.

Rehearsal starts at 7:30, and I usually don't get out of work until 6:30, so I've been going straight to rehearsal and he's been packing dinner for me. Last night, he sent me an email to the effect of "I just realized that dinner isn't going to travel well, can you try to get out a few minutes early so you can eat it at home?" I didn't think anything of it, and left a little early. I got home...and the lights are dimmed, and there are candles on the table, and a bouquet of flowers, and the fine china and champagne flutes. He'd made good steaks and fancy rice and a really nice salad. Totally unexpected, totally a surprise.

Best sweetie ever.

(I got out of rehearsal early because my part was done, and made him brownies with peppermint patties baked into them, in a heart shaped pan. After all, with that kind of a display, I couldn't go with my original plan of ignoring Valentine's Day.)

can you save me a brownie piece tonight?

I think we can do that.

OMG, you guys are too cute!

Oh, you and Cat are the same way. Quite adorable, really.

AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! You two are so cute. And if you're ever in a play you really want us to see, I'm totally there. :)

Of course. I mean, this one won't be bad - the acting is good. But I have six lines and Chuckro has maybe two repeated, like, eight times. (He's the bailiff/clerk in a courtroom drama - he gets to swear people in a lot.) So it's not really worth schlepping out just to see us, since we're barely in it.

It is, however, worth schlepping out for dinner with us, maybe early March post-show?

Obnoxiously cute displays of affection are tolerable only in wonderful people. Congrats, you pass :)

Hey, I put it under a cut, so no one had to read it unless they wanted to. And the title should have been fair warning. :)

:P

I'm sure there's an upper-bound for that. Give me a few more years, as I do enjoy trying to top myself.

I believe I pointed this out after our first Valentine's Day. I seem to remember being promised elephants in the distant future.

Aw. You should have had people over for gaming! We like steak.

We are having people over for gaming - tonight. Last night, we ate our steak, put the china in the sink, and went to rehearsal.
