I swear to you, I bought the book and hadn't even had a chance to read it, but had it sitting around my house for 2 weeks. Husband did read some of it.
PIB! thanks for the visit, the kind words and the update on your sitch on your thread! So...if I just buy the book then whammo who knew it worked that way!
************ h and I had a great night last night. I picked him up from the train after his second exam. He was pumped up and feeling good! He was very excited to see me and was full of lots of awesome comments to me! Today is our 9th anniversary and he told me last night that he would marry me a million more times, with a million more weddings, receptions, rings, etc. this actually reflects the completion of another significant goal for me -- all along I had been wanting to hear from h exactly that -- that given the choice he WOULD do this again. And, apparently he would!!!
We went out for dinner and drinks. Had some awesome champagne cocktails, great food and wonderful toasts to US!!
Went out this AM for an "anniversary breakfast". Tonight will be lowkey -- a walk (I have been SO bad about the gym!) and then studying for h's last exam tomorrow! Hooray!!!!

Thanks for the visits! I did have a great weekend (including my day off from work!). It all feels like a blur now, though...
Let's see...Friday I did errands during the day while h took his last exam. We were going to go out for drinks that night but decided to tackle a bunch of "errand night" things first -- went and got a wreath and a living holly tree, picked up some beer/wine, etc. (We hosted h's family xmas party on Sunday so we had a lot to do!).
Saturday I had an appt in the AM and then we spent the rest of the day doing stuff around the house to get it ready for the party. We babysat for my sister's baby Sat. night which went well (well, except for the fact that we didn't decide on an "end" time and they stayed out until 1:15 which was well past what we ASSumed... ). We got up Sunday AM and went into "pre-party" mode -- got the food, did last minute clean up, etc. The party went super well -- so well, in fact, that his family has asked us to host it next year, too -- I think it's a nice compliment and I'm happy to do it!
We relaxed at home last night -- watched some tv, ate some leftovers, etc.
All in all a really great, relaxing, hanging out with hubby weekend.

Uneventful (but positive) day yesterday. Work was good -- my least favorite colleague is out this week so that can only make work more pleasant! -- I stopped at the library on the way home and got some books for vacation next week (going to NYC -- relaxation!! yahoo!). Had a casual supper, caught up with h and his day, snuggled in front of the tv together, etc. H was totally great -- listened to me rant about work a bit, talked about school (he's reworking his schedule), even asked me if I was ok with the current status quo (me working, him at school) because he was worried that I might be miserable at work and feel trapped. Hey, when did my h get to be such an awesome listener/validater???? Nice to mellow out with him always but especially after the weekend!
Today has been good so far. I finally, finally finished my performance reviews for my team (sneaking in under the year deadline!). What a huge relief! We're going to the gym when I get home from work (I have been a total slug!) so I'm very glad about that. Not sure if we'll hang at home or what. Either way, I'm glad to just relax.
