Long Day/Anniversary Advice

Today has been a long day: I’m on East Coast time (i.e., up at 4:00 AM, at work by 5:30 AM for telecons that run from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM) this week, and working to catch up on all the vacation-accumulated debris. Naturally, I’m exhausted (and came home with a headache). Bleh.

A week from today is my 19th wedding anniversary. Following up on a suggestion when I asked about birthday gifts, I’m exploring a spa package for my wife. I’m open to suggestions on what should be in the package (i.e., what services—I’ve done some searching (link; link) and see different types of massages, facials, etc.), as well as recommendations for specific spas in the San Fernando Valley (sample search). I’ll note I’m not the most romantic person, which is why I’m asking. We are going to go out for dinner, perhaps a movie that night; ellipticcurve will be taking S&F and the Karate Kid to They Might Be Giants in Anaheim and bringing them back late that evening.

P.S.: ellipticcurve and I were talking at lunch about words such as Attorneys-general, Ladies-in-waiting, Mothers-in-law, i.e., words where you pluralize the noun and the noun is a prefix for the adjective. Is there a formal name for such words?
