For my 27th birthday my partner planned a surprise weekend in Vegas with all our friends.
She picked me up at work on the pretense that we were going to lunch (at this place called Tara's Willow Cafe!!) but got a "call" from her mom saying she needed help because their dog got out and they couldn't find him. I was put off, but when we pulled up to the house there was a limo out front, and when I got in all my friends were there. My partner had asked my boss for the day off, and had a bag packed for me and everything.
We get to Vegas, and there's another limo waiting to take us to the Mirage. She checks in and we all climb into the elevator to go up . . . and up . . . and up . . and up . . . right to our frickin' penthouse suites with a view of the strip. Our friends holed up in one suite, while we got our own. Spent the weekend drinking, gambling, and enjoying the sun. Best gift ever.
How do you not stay mad at your significant other when they totally piss you off?
