SURPRISE!

I love embarrassing my husband, especially when he's at work. You can't get more macho than being a COP so when your wife shows up to work with a cake and Pooh Bear balloons wanting to take pictures, it kind of takes away from the macho-ness. I knew he wouldn't come in to the police station on his own volition so I had the dispatcher make up a reason for him to come in. I met him in the parking lot with said cake and balloons just as a fellow detective and captain drove in. They jumped on the chance to make fun of him and you could see Steve start to squirm. At one point he starts to untie the balloons from the cake for me to take home and I told him NO WAY! If the cake stays the balloons have to stay too - isn't that right captain? He ordered Steve to leave them be. It was fantastic! Now we're off to Blue Man to see them perform, I love extended birthdays...
Steve with his carrot cake...Trying to act macho in front of his captain and co-worker No Steve, you may not untie the balloons...

LOVE IT! I made a point to yell out HAPPY BIRTHDAY! when he showed up at women's conference. I love the Pooh balloons! I normally send Scott flowers at work, which is almost (but not quite) as embarrassing. Although, his office is a bunch of nerdy engineers, mostly men, so it does turn him a tad pink when they arrive! :)
