Last
Sunday
I
planned
a
surprise
party
for
my
wife
.
I
had
been
setting
everything
up
all
day
.
Recently
we
had
settled
down
together
and
bought
a
house
and
I
wanted
the
party
to
be
perfect
.
The
kids
were
at
their
grandparents
for
the
night
so
we
could
sleep
in
the
next
day
and
everyone
was
told
to
____________________
____________________
at
6pm
because
she
would
be
arriving
at
6
:
30
.
However
there
were
a
few
minor
problems
.
First
the
liquor
store
had
sold
out
of
her
favorite
wine
so
I
had
to
order
some
from
a
store
farther
away
.
Then
I
screwed
up
because
I
?
d
forgotten
that
the
deli
in
my
neighborhood
had
just
____________________

and
I
had
to
drive
across
town
to
get
sandwiches
,
wasting
almost
an
hour
.
But
I
got
home
just
as
the
first
of
her
friends
were
arriving
.
Luckily
everyone
got
there
on
time
and
as
she
pulled
up
I
told
everyone
to
settle
down
and
hide
.
When
she
walked
in
she
was
really
surprised
and
had
a
big
smile
on
her
face
,
so
it
was
all
worth
it
.
She

I

d
given
her
to
all
her
friends
and
everybody
had
a
great
night
.
She
got
a
little
upset
that
I
had
forgotten
to
invite
her
sister
but
I
smoothed
it
over
by
telling
her
I
would
call
and
apologize
.
Also
our
friend
Jeff
got
drunk
and
started
talking
about
how
he
was
set
up
at
work
in
a
fraud
scheme
,
and
that
he
was
innocent
(
even
though
I
think
he
really
did
do
it
)
.
At
the
end
my
wife
was
a
little
drunk
and
telling
me
how
much
she
loved
me
over
and
over
again
,
until
I
playfully
told
her
to
____________________
____________________
and
kissed
her
.
It
was
a
night
we
will
both
remember
for
a
long
time
.
