1. I've been watching for a long time now as W is transforming into a feminine woman. A bit girly kinda. She's never been this way before. She's never wore makeup except on special occassions. She's always wore black. Never anything colorful. And she's always had guy friends, never girl friends. So quite some time ago she ordered that makeup that is always advertised on TV. She got the wrong shade the first time but I encouraged her to get the right one. I always complimented her and told her how beautiful she was when she wore it but made it clear she was beautiful no matter what. Then she started hanging out with the wife of one of her guy friends who is also her hair dresser. They spent a weekend in NAPA together and are planning another weekend in Santa Cruz. This woman is really a girly girl. Very feminine. Wonderful mother. Beautiful and always dressed like a girl. She's quite an astonishing woman. Well she's been rubbing off considerable. My wife is wearing colorful clothing and came back from the salon with a pink streak in her hair. I have complimented her a great deal and actually I do love it. She is wearing things she wouldn't be caught dead in before and it works for her. So her birthday is coming up and I am thinking it might be a good idea to buy her something that I never would have in the past. Maybe a nice necklace or something. She's never really wore jewelry in the past but with the recent changes it might be a great idea.
