Or what a husband will never find out.

For at least 20 years DH has talked about going to a live radio broadcast of Garrison Keeler's A Prairie Home Companion. We always listen to it enjoy it and just never got around to going. It travels around a lot but is based in the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul. He said a few weeks ago that he wanted me to get tickets so we checked on line and found out there would be 2 shows in St. Paul in May. Perfect, the anniversary of our first date is May 15th and so that is what he wanted to do for our 'date' It seems very important to him. After all I have drug him to countless Twins, T'wolves, Viking, and Wild games. We asked another couple to join us and so we excitedly waited for the day the tickets would finally go on sale. That was TODAY. Guess who forgot. I had such a day. Run Run Run. Left the house at 8 and got back home at 2:30 just in time to run again for the kids.

DH called and asked me did I get the tickets and when I said I forgot he got a little huffy and blah blah blah. I told him to let me off the phone so I could get the tickets. Well they were sold out. SOLD OUT! In one day probably in a couple of hours. OMG what was I too do. DH would be so disappointed and lets face it p*****.

I wasn't about to call him and tell him they were sold out. So I did what any red blooded women would do. I called the local ticket scalper. Yup it is legal here in Wisconsin. Had the tickets. Some for $75 and some for $95. The regular price through Ticket Master is $30. So I thought if I am going to be scalped let it be for the best seats in the house. I got 4 tickets 2nd row center. But I got those tickets and DH will never be the wiser. He asked me what they cost he never asked me what I paid for them. In the whole of our lives the extra $$$$ won't matter much but having him happy--- priceless.

So I admit it. I am bad very very bad. Don't you think. I don't live in Contraryville for nothing ya know. MM

Yes Hope I am afraid I am the sports enthusiast in the family. I often go by myself or with my brother or DH's partner but every now and then he feels left out and wants to go too. I know he doesn't enjoy going to the games as much as I do but he pretends he does. Then he thinks I am nuts at the games. Funny huh? Also we are such a turned around couple. I hate being late he is always late and I get ready quickly only to wait for him to fuss and primp. MM

Yes, you are definately a bad person!!!! Having said that I figure "what he doesn't know won't hurt him" and you are right ... all of us have done or will do this type of thing sometime in our lives.
