Crash! Not literally this time, though. Booked that cruise yesterday as a surprise for Tieraney. No logical way to give it to her for her birthday (they don't give you tickets anymore), and it's more of anniversary gift, anyway, since it's June 17th of next year. So, I surprised her with the announcement last night. It was met with...apathy.
Total apathy. She didn't get excited about it all. Didn't thank me. Said a week, "Sounds like fun," as if I'm actually just inconveniencing her. Maybe she had something else scheduled that week?
Her reaction is taking me longer to get over than I'd expect. I suppose I set myself up for that, thinking I was doing something great. Or maybe it's the feat that there's something deeper there. I have no reason to feel that way, but since when has that stopped me? Likely, this will all blow over by tonight. It better, because she's going out with her coworkers so they can celebrate her birthday. If she's out until 1:00 a.m. on an evening when I'm insecure about things, that's going to make for a hell of a long night.
We try a trick field goal and go for the TD. The kicker's pass is nowhere near its intended target.
Life's ball. 1st and 10 on their own 11.
