"Last weekend, my friend Maya&amp;amp;#8217;s husband Brian woke her up early Friday morning and told her to quickly pack her bags for an impromptu trip&amp;amp;#133; a surprise weekend in Montauk! Awesome, right? For Maya, not so much... Instead of throwing her arms around him and smothering him with kisses, she gave him her signature side eyes. The problem was that she had booked beauty appointments on the following day, one of which she had to arrange for a month in advance! Plus, she wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t feeling that well and was hoping to sleep it off on Sunday. She called me from the car, a bit grumpy, but I could see it wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t take long for her to come around. &amp;amp;#8220;He&amp;amp;#8217;s sweet,&amp;amp;#8221; she said, &amp;amp;#8220;but just so you both know, I hate surprises!&amp;amp;#8221; I&amp;amp;#8217;m not sure why it took so long for her to tell us this vital piece of information, but I&amp;amp;#8217;m definitely going to file it under &amp;amp;#8220;Do Not Do&amp;amp;#8221; for Maya. In retrospect, it makes perfect sense. She&amp;amp;#8217;s the type of person who drops not-so-subtle hints when Christmas nears. Last year, she showed me an email that she sent to Brian, listing what she wanted in order of preference (the girl knows what she likes!). I happen to love surprises. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t, however, like when someone tells me they have a surprise for me and then don&amp;amp;#8217;t tell me what it is. I let my imagination run away and almost always end up disappointed. What about you kittens? When was the last time your beau or friend surprised you?Do you like being surprised or do you like to know in advance? Do tell!
