It is something that I would have been suprised by and I have wanted for a long time. He would have gotten me had it not been delivered when I was home....maybe I can pretend I didn't see it and he can put it in the garage when he gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-772728 Fri, 10 May 2013 08:14:21 +0000 mamimami 772728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to comment on this yesterday but I got caught up in something else (maybe work LOL) but I am the worst when it comes to surprises and I have proved it again. Today is mother's day here and my husband planned a spa day for me but in order to get me to pack my swimsuit, change of clothes, etc he told me we were going to spend a night away from the kids so i started freaking out of course about missing them and pumping and would they be ok with my in-laws and he had to come clean. I felt bad but that was kind of a problematic cover-up story if you ask me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-771000 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:51:03 +0000 prettylizy 771000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any patience, so as soon as I suspect something is up I pick and poke and prod until I find it out. Worst surprisee ever :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770991 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:47:35 +0000 .twist. 770991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am way too nosy. I even figured out he was going to propose the night he proposed. </p> <p>I wish I hadn't because it makes me say stupid stuff while trying to pretend like I have no idea what's going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770965 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:40:19 +0000 petunia354 770965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he has a bad habit of leaving receipts or other give aways out in the open! I wish he was better at it though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770921 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:30:54 +0000 mrsmenow 770921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I pick up on everything DH does. I can just tell my his tone, posture, behavior and I am oddly good at guessing what he is up to.</p> <p>One example: One day he called to tell me he was on his way homw (he always does this). In the backround I heard noise and just knew he was buying my engagement ring. He proposed about 45 minutes later;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770917 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:30:03 +0000 swurlygurl 770917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as you - so far I've guessed everything but the proposal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770905 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:26:36 +0000 Grace 770905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am easily surprised. I think I'm too oblivious most of the time and when I do get wind of something, I try to avoid thinking about it because I don't want to ruin the surpriser's fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770901 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:25:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 770901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really know-- DH isn't a big surprise-er! I might have spoiled the engagement because we got in a big fight over him not proposing yet and he blurted out that he already bought the ring, so there's that... but I do purposely try NOT to think about things that would give away a surprise, it's just more likely that we will ask each other what the other wants and get them that. Few surprises. </p> <p>I was shocked by my work wedding shower though! And I will purposely try not to be suspicious since i know they will plan a surprise baby one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770836 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:14:13 +0000 Vegmama 770836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I'm like you! I work from home ... I do the banking ... we only have one car ... we have a pretty typical schedule ... I just feel like I notice whenever something is "off"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770748 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:03:45 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 770748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an over-thinker, so I always imagine every possible scenario and usually think or hope I'll be surprised when I'm not. I don't think I've ever been *really* surprised in my life... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770731 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:00:18 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 770731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a terrible guesser when it comes to DH. He's very very good at surprising me. Other people, not so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770711 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:56:49 +0000 sorrycharlie 770711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>noo I'm too nosy. I always figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770702 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:54:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 770702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm too perceptive or something because I always seem to figure out what's going on. I try to act surprised though - haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770662 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:46:21 +0000 BelugaBean 770662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I am pretty much exactly like you so no, I'm not very surprise-able. I try really hard to stay out of things though if I know I might be able to figure something out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770659 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:45:31 +0000 runsyellowlites 770659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably. I'm pretty nosey too though! As long as DH did all his planning while at work I'd be none the wiser.. we'll he'd have to find a way to pay for it too since I cover our finances! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-surprise-able#post-770648 Thu, 09 May 2013 14:43:37 +0000 mrsjyw 770648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>dh always tries to surprise me with holidays/gifts. but almost 99% of the time, i end up guessing or finding out.</p> <p>so either dh isn't creative or i am too nosy LOL</p> <p>he did surprise me with proposal tho! :P</p> <p>are you easily surprised? </p>
