Hey cj, I loved the pouches!! I have to get the alligator for my H for vacation, since where we go has alligators.
Boy you can find anything on that site.
It sounds like you two had a very nice time, and I totally understand how awkward you feel verbalizing in bed. I just bit the bullet one time and was messing around with H, and asked him in a husky voice, now what would you like me to do? And he had just as much trouble actually telling me, so it isn't easy to do it. As long as your H understands that you have a hard time verbalizing, and thinks it's okay to write it down, I think it's positive for you. I am glad you didn't say anything to your H about the sporting goods store not being romantic.
I know how you feel about the flowers, because it is something my H has held against me for twenty-one yrs. He sent me flowers once, and the florist sent flowers that were beautiful, but they started drooping and falling the very next day, and I said something about it. I was mad at the dang florist, not my H, but he took it personally, and has never once since sent me flowers. He has brought me flowers, but that is the reason he says he will never again send me flowers. I did ask him if when I die will he send me flowers.
