well...another wonderful set of thoughts...thank you delia....
1) you are very right. i do crave that. if ONLY for a day or two. i'd settle for one day a month....
2) i would be willing to explore that. i do better writing sometimes than i do speaking to him about some of these things. i find with writing, i have to think FIRST..with speaking, sometimes the mouth goes a lil out of control *innocent smile*
3) that idea simply doesn't appeal to either of us, but perhaps we could fine tune it to something we might enjoy.
4) no we don't have rituals. i would like to try that. we have never had those. we have friends here who do....when he comes home from work, regardless of who is there, or what is going on..they go into their room...i don't know what they are doing....i just know they both come out kind of..connected looking. i never asked...but i assume its something along that line.
5) i enjoy the little things almost more than the play itself *note i said "ALMOST"*...it does keep things simmering. He swatted my ass tonight and i immediately..erm..had a um..'response" *coughcoughgotwetcough*
i thank you so much for your thoughtful reply, delia. these suggestions, opinions and well wishes mean the world to us.
none of you can begin to know the warm fuzzy it gives me to know that you have taken YOUR valuable time to offer your thoughts to us both....
