Surprises-Like 'Em??

I think I should take a poll. Although in the past people aren't voting, so this time you really should. I'll see if I can get that working.
Me? NOPE. When it comes to surprises such as the Christmas gifts we've been getting for the kids, I can not tell you how hard it is to keep it hidden till Christmas. This is why I can't shop till the last minute b/c then everyone would have there gifts with in a day of me buying them!
Or if you say 'I know a surprise, or know something' I'll beat you up till you disclose. OK well not literally. DH has learned he can torment the crap out of me by saying 'I got you a surprise!'
Don't tell me if you're preparing a surprise party for someone, unless I won't be seeing them till the party. I can also detect surprises. If I think a surprise is coming I'll work my darnest to figure it out. Aren't I just a lot of fun.
OH but NJ-LA got me. She surprised me by showing up for a baby shower. EVERYONE knew accept DH and I! They did so good keeping it. WOW. I wish I could surprise someone like that but I just wouldn't be able to contain my excitement.
Last night we had our annual harvest festival which included supper and then an auction of goods. For instance, I brought my canned peaches, cinnamon pears, apples and apple butter. My peaches and pears brought $17! EACH!! Where I'm going with this is there were a couple mystery packages up there. I just had to have it and not only did i get one, but I had to open it right then and there!!
Now I have another surprise too, but I'm going to keep this one till I can't anymore. I don't think it should be hard to keep and I'm going to see how you all handle surprises. Probably harder via the computer world vs in real life (IRL).
