Shocker
The phone rings. It's Lady.
"Don't freak out..." she says.
I brace for impact.
"I won a honeymoon," she says.
"You what?"
"I won a honeymoon," she repeats.
"Uh... wow! That's... really cool! Tell me about it!"
So she proceeds to tell me about some typical "free" vacation thingy where you have to get to Orlando, Florida and take a two-hour spiel for them to sell you time-shares or something. You get to stay there for a week or so for free, so that's not so bad, but travel and food and such is still on your tab. But all of that is beside the point.
"So... you want to go to Florida with me?" I ask.
"Yes. And I'd want to go as your wife."
I pick my jaw up off the floor. "You would?!" I blurt.
"Yes," she said. "Now, we can take this anytime in the next two years, so there isn't really a time restraint. And I'm not making promises. But yeah, I'd like to go on a honeymoon with you. Don't get all weird, and don't start putting pressure or expectations on me. That's just how I'm feeling right now."
Oh, God, I'll take it.
She was remarkably cuddly that evening when I got home. And when we awoke, we were still in each other's arms. Ever nice.

Wow, what I would do to have a man as crazy for me as you are about your wife. I've been striking out in the "love" department for 12 years. I wish you all the best.

Thank you all. RB, you do deserve to be wildly loved. I liked your blog, too. :)
