Next Friday I will be flying up to see my long lost fiancé who lives in Alaska. Until I can get his butt back to the lower 48, we are only able to see each other a couple of times each year. It has been this way ever since he was transferred almost 10 years ago.
Each time I’ve stepped off the plane I’ve given him something like a single rose and he always hands me a bouquet or something. For reasons I won’t go into, this Friday will be more special than any other time I have flown to see him. So, my assignment to all you romantic types is to give me some suggestions for something different to present him with or maybe even an action I could do. Remember, I am the adventurous type so don’t hold back.
I already decided that the following would not be a good idea:
Wrap myself in plastic wrap with a big red bow.
Balloons would be too awkward on a plane and it is “too yesterday”.
Naked in a trench coat would be too cold and too many things could fall out before I got there. Hey, I want to surprise him, not have him bail me out of jail.
Hello there. I have a couple of somewhat presumptuous suggestions to offer, if I may.
First off, Rysdad may be on to something. (or on something, I don’t know…) Go out and get a haircut. Get a dramatically different haircut and dye it a different color. Then hit the stores for a new outfit. Not ‘new’ as in never owned by you before, but ‘new’ as in something in a style that you are not used to wearing. Everything new, everything different. Sunglasses. You get the picture. Don’t let him recognize you as you get off the plane. Take it from there….
Secondly. Fiancé… ten year separation…. Um, why not get off the plane and hand him your ticket. Let him see that it is one way. Why not wait with him until he can get transferred back?
Just a pair of quick thoughts before I get back to work. Now I gotta think of something to do for my own lady fair for the upcoming holiday. Good luck!

I do kind of like the trenchcoat idea but I’m still a little spooked by airport security and I don’t own a trenchcoat. But, I was thinking that his truck would be pretty warm with the heater and it’s about an hour drive from Anchorage, so maybe a strip tease down to a new lace teddy on the drive home. I’ll have to remember to bring a strippable CD, I don’t think I can get the beat with his George Strait CDs.
I also like the suggestion about changing my appearance. I tried to get the nerve to cut my hair a few months ago and I chickened out (it is almost to my butt) but I’m thinking that my cousin has some really nice wigs from her chemotherapy days. I bet I could borrow one. As far as a new look, I am always open for change and I do love to shop!
You don’t know how much I would love for the ticket to be a one-way-er, the problem is that my son goes to college here, my daughter would be traumatized to leave her friends and school, my youngest would love it though. I couldn’t never leave them here. There is also my house that would have to be sold and this wonderful job. I do love him and Alaska though.
He has put his house on the market and is looking for a job here, so that is a good start.
Melin - Of course I will e-mail you with all the details! I mean we can’t have hot, sweaty monkey sex for 2 weeks straight without a bathroom, sleep, lunch, and computer breaks, can we?
Sorry, Diane, woefully short on any good ideas to help you, but I thought this would is as good a place as any to say “Happy Birthday” to a person who has the best darn birthday in the whole wide world.
Have you voted for your favorite, huggable Mullinator today?
Let’s see, you see someone twice a year for ten years? Might be a little late for the old sexy bit. I’d say a nice red dress, red shoes & purse, & some white pearls, perhaps a red heart bow in your hair would say plenty.
I’m doing a bit of birthday bashin’ on the 13th… My lady fair has been planning something for a coupla weeks. Has had that sly… ‘I know something’ look. Anyway, somehting else that popped up - what about flying in secretly a day early. Get a hotel room all set up for the two of you. in the room put out a host of romantic momentos - pictures, personal trinkets, old letters, etc. under your trenchcoat you have the lace. So Alaska is cold. So it is a bit of a risk. But if you are wearing at least something, no one can really complain. Especially if you have some time before you see him to prepare.
Of course, now that I think of it, flying in might not be so easy, huh? What about calling him and telling him you are taking a later flight? Come in early, do your thing, and merge on with the deplaneing passangers. A friendly stewardess should understand. Good luck!
Once in a while you can get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right…
If your heart bleeds
Because of your needs
I plead you ask it all of me!
For I would die, For just the chance
At the sweet romance
That you and I could be again.
