HUGE Suprise for Veronica

By the time you’re reading this post, I’ve walked into the house, Southern Vixen on my heels.

And Veronica had no idea that she was coming to visit!!!!

Long-time readers will know that we are very good friends with Southern Vixen, regardless of the 800 or so miles between us, but we have not seen her in quite a while.  While SoVix and I got together for an overnight visit back in July and we also met for breakfast in early September, those were work trips for me and Veronica missed out on seeing her.  They haven’t seen each other since last January.

For months we’ve talked about getting SoVix to come visit us for a long weekend, which she really wanted to do.  Sometime in August I hatched the idea of her visiting for Veronica’s birthday weekend and mentioned the idea to her.  She was all over the idea, ran it by her husband and soon bought her plane ticket.

All the while, we’ve been lying to Veronica, making excuses as to why SoVix can’t get away- kid obligations, money issues, spouse issues.  Meanwhile, I’ve been feigning irritation with SoVix and I’ve been setting things up with lies of my own.  Veronica thought I had to work late today, for a very plausible reason.  But what I was really doing was driving to the airport to pick up SoVix.  Earlier in the week I suggested to Veronica that we get a sitter for Saturday night so that we could have a date night, just me and her.  I don’t think Veronica will mind the extra company for dinner and a visit to our favorite strip club!

Drafting this on Friday morning, I’m smiling in anticipation of the look on Veronica’s face when I walk in the door with SoVix.  I wonder if I can manage to get some pictures of the moment?

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!!
