My summer

[andysocial]

OK, here's the schedule for my summer:
20 May through 7 June - Stuck in Tampa. Anyone want to go out to dinner or something? Please?
7-10 June - Hours after returning from the airport, enygma's father comes to visit. Sure would like time with my wife after a 3-week absence. POUT.
15-16 June - Romantic surprise weekend to pamper the lovely enygma. Massage, brunch, 4 star dinner, chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne...
24 June - Court date for Alex's adoption. I'll legally be a father, wow.
28 June through 3 July - My cool-ass mom visits, no doubt bringing lots of junk for the boy that he doesn't need but will happily eat or destroy, as appropriate.
15-19 July - Trip to DC.
19 July - My birthday. Still hoping someone may give me that Sony Clie NR70...
Late July - My darling bride's sister and mom and family come out to visit.
27-28 July - Trip to Virginia for a meeting.
16-18 August - Anniversary at a splendiferous B&B in the nature preserve.

Somewhere in there, I'd originally intended to take a couple college classes. Is it any wonder that ain't gonna happen?

Meanwhile, that job offer for nearly double my current salary in New Mexico sure is looming large. Do I want to lose money on my house, leave a town I've grown accustomed to, and pull my family up and away again? To put it another way, do I want a job with no travel involved, that will allow enygma to finish her degree in a reasonable amount of time while letting us pay our bills down in a fraction of the time we had planned? Time as a family, normal schedule, better pay, different (larger) town that is closer to family... Seems like such a no-brainer, but it's not.

Guess what? It's not a surprise anymore! You just let the romantic weekend out of the bag, doofbrain!!!
Dude, you need to practice this more. ;)

Congrats on being a dad and all tho. Seems you've got THAT down. :)

I can't keep a weekend getaway secret, but the details are secret. She doesn't know where we're going. :-)

Well, okay, that's better. At least you got that part right. ;)

Lucky lucky Enygma. Hey Ang, can I borrow him for just the massage part when you're done? My neck hurts something fierce. :)

Massage

Well, I actually give her massages fairly regularly, but this one is an hour-long professional massage at the spa which is part of the resort we're going to (which shall remain nameless).
