Delayed (A Year of Dates - Date #5 which will be soonish, I hope!)

Have you ever had one of those weeks?  I mean, a week where everything needs to get done, appointments scheduled at the most inopportune times, weather related issues reek havoc, and to top it off, you're sick?  Yep.  That's been my week.

My hubby opened up our next date night envelope last Thursday.  (He wanted to know what was in store for him this week before he headed out of town on business for the weekend.)  I think that he was slightly disappointed it was his turn right off the bat for February... though, he began planning and scheming right away.  Needless to say, I was intrigued with his growing secretive plan.

My Screen, Monday night... My
hubby's plane is cancelled AGAIN!

However, his plans for our date night were thwarted due to weather.  I understand it is winter, and I suppose we have to expect some snow to come our way.  But this snow screwed up flight schedules for three days! This meant my hubby did not get home from a weekend of business until late Tuesday night - our usual weekly date night. Despite this delay, he still had a plan... until he came home and found out I was suffering from a bad cold.  Nice homecoming, eh?

One thing I love about my husband is that he is an optimist.  Not much ever gets him down; he's just like that Monty Python song - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.  (I am convinced he sings this in his head all the time!) He simply shrugged off all this and said, "Don't worry.  We can do it later. I want you to enjoy it!"  And with that, the wheels continued to turn as I suspect he was/is still planning.

It is now Friday, and I am playing host to eight girls for my daughter's birthday party.  My hubby is doing some last minute running around for the anticipated Nor-Easter hitting us - no - SLAMMING us tomorrow. We have had very little time to connect this past week.  But he has a plan.  Our date will be tomorrow - in spite of the gross amount of white stuff and the prospect we will be snowed in.

I am excited.  I am intrigued.  I cannot WAIT to see what we are doing.

Stay tuned.
