Katy's Birthday Surprise

Today my lovely sweet sexy wife has her Birthday. She was talking about doing Belly Dancing lessons with a friend for some time and agreed that would be her present. It just happens that the classes start tonight, on the same day.

After much plotting and planning I managed to sneak off to the Gold Coast where there is a shop that sells costumes for such a thing. Lots of beads, bobbley bits and high cut split em up straps plus a wrap-around jingley belt. I secured my special purchase and was home around 5ish knowing Katy was out for dinner with a friend. Plenty of time to box up the gift and hide until the big day ........ Plenty of time you'd think!!!!! ...... unless you were silly enough to take it out of the packaging and somehow have a strand go and spend several hours searching the floor for beads that bounced and shot off in all directions. With beads all rounded up I then had to thread a needle [Special note: Get a damn needle with an eye that doesn't need a microscope to thread]. Three hours passed and after a lot of sweating and swearing, I managed to fix the costume. I gotta tell you, it was like eating a bowl of rice using bananas as chopsticks. I'm sure my fingers swelled as the thread got shorter and the holes on the beads closed up all at the same time.

Box nicely wrapped and secured with 5 minutes before Katy comes home around 9ish. Little does she know the drama and panic that has just preceded her.

Your posts are hilarious. I think you left out the fact that you tried on Katy's costume before wrapping it and somehow caused some beads to fall off.....and the rest is history....ok - just kidding. What a nice present for your wife. Hope she had a nice birthday!
