Reasons To Love Him, #9: Surprises! Abound
“You there baby?”
“Hi!”
“Hi! How’s your day going so far?”
“Good, but BORING.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, definitely. There is hardly anyone here and I’m not feeling motivated at all.”
“I have something that will make your day exciting. What would you think if I told you had a surprise for you?”
“Um, you didn’t buy another plasma t.v. without telling me did you? I’m pretty sure we can’t fit another one in our living room.”
“And what if that surprise was: drumroll…”
“Two tickets to Amsterdam?”
“Better!”
“Umm…”
“I just bought two tickets to see RAY LAMONTAGNE at The Schnitzer in Portland November 5th!”
“WHAT WHAT WHAT?”
“YES. PRESALE.”
“REALLY?”
“Yes! We are sitting Orchestra level, in the middle.”
“NOVEMBER IS GOING TO BE THE BEST MONTH EVER.”
“I know! That has been such a hard secret to keep. I found out about it yesterday and I knew that I was going to buy them this morning when they went on sale at 10am, and I was waiting to tell you and it was KILLING me.”
“I’m fighting amazingly intense urges to turn into Mary Murphy right now and take my GOING TO SEE RAY LAMONTAGNE TRAIN choo-chooing and woot! wooing through the office.
“Be strong.”

I can’t seem to get pre-sale tix. Oh well. I guess I will wait until they go on sale to the general public.
SO HAPPY for you guys. YAY for surprises!

Great surprise! Whoa!
(Although, Amsterdam would have been sweet, too.)
What a wonderful surprise! Your dude sure knows how to please you.:)
Hahahaha, what an awesome reaction! I love the Mary Murphy urges.
That brought a tear to my eye.
I have never even thought to have a Mary Murphy urge, but now that you have proffered the idea, I can already feel one welling up inside of me. I’m afraid my office might have a reason to hate me by the end of tomorrow.
I love that Amsterdam was all “meh.” And the tickets made you almost go Mary Murphy. In which case I may have had to stop talking to you.
Because I’d like to put her on the last train to nowhere. And NO ONE CAN MEET HER AT THE STATION!
*dripping with envy*
that’s awesome!
