The one that comes immediately to mind for me was when my hubby got us tickets to our first PJ show in '93. Totally surprised me with them. We were in a restaurant when he gave them to me so I didn't jump but I think I did scream and tear up.
Last time I did this when I found out I won the 10c lottery and got front row seats for night one at Madison Square Garden. Smalltownbeck and I SCREAMED and were jumping up and down. The whole afternoon I felt drunk because I was SOOOO happy! Talk about floating on air!
i did too! HOW THE HELL DID I FORGET!
I won 2nd row for nt 2!
I'm an idiot!:D
PISSSHHHH
See I told ya!
And there were car keys in it.. and I started crying. It was the nicest thing they could have ever have given me. I will never forget how that felt to be truly surprised with a HUGE gift.
for my 21st....my mom told me she was having a surprise party for me and to be home by a certain time for it! :eek:

ironic, and very sweet, because my dad thinks my pj obsession (especially the posters) is nonsense
i think i'd tear up too!
My family in Ireland surprised me with a vist here for a birthday.
A cousin surprised me with U2 tickets when I was home for a holiday.
An ex BF surprised me with a CD I didn't even know he knew existed one day.
Earlier this year my best friend surprised me with a trip out of the blue to the Dominican, all paid for.
My dad surprised me once by trying to look after my garden - we have different opinions of what weeds are apparently, but it was the thought that counts.
On a trip to LA last year, friends surprised me with a side trip to Palm Springs.
On that same trip my dad surprised me by arranging a rental car for me.
During some really tough times this year, my friends have surprised me by helping in various ways - $$, friendly support, an ear to scream in etc.
A friend bought me some boots I had been lusting over.
A stranger surprised me with a much much better EV experience than I'd ever expected this summer.
A neighbour surprised me by cutting down a tree he thought was dead this year - again, he really meant well and it was a lovely thing to do...moreso if the tree had actually been dead.
My direct reports and co workers surprised me with an awesome gift when I switched jobs earlier this year.
A friend surprised me with flowers at work for my birthday this year - even though I'd opted out of the birthday plan yrs ago and haven't aged in a while
After a horrible car wreck that stole 2 yrs of my life a not too distant while ago, friends & family surprised me by taking the time help dress me, feed me, help me remember words and memory, distract me, entertain me, visit me, put up with my moods as I begrudgingly learned to swallow my pride and ask for and accept help - which unfortunately has only partially stuck, and be patient while I shut them out when I tried to fix everything myself and catch up on the work opportunities I'd missed. They have been awesome as I've spent this last year realizing how misplaced my priorities have been, and what is really important in life.
I have to say, I'm pretty blessed and so grateful that people seem to regard me as worthy of all these wonderful things. I never ever take that for granted and hope so so much that I contribute to their lives they way do mine.
So no one catches you?
that is really cool - it's huge when people put their feelings about something aside for something like that
So no one catches you?
I know the feeling well.... but believe
