We had a very nice Mother's Day weekend. S came home Thursday night and stayed until Saturday evening. He didn't have any classes Friday, so he did some job hunting. Saturday was H's bday. S and his GF, D, H and myself went downtown to see a play. It was a surprise for H. He enjoyed his surprise. We all enjoyed the play and we went out to dinner afterwards. I gave H his final bday gift at bedtime. We don't usually use sex as a gift, so he thought it was cute when I told him.
S got his dad a cute little stone hedgehog and a nice card. S's GF gave H a small tower of boxed candies, cookies, and green tea. I got a cute Mother's Day card from S.
On Sunday, H made me breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and did most of the dishes. He likes to cook, but rarely makes breakfast. He has occasionally made lunch and occasionally barbecues something while I make the rest of dinner. He cooks or buys something for dinner on the one weekend day I work every weekend and makes me lunch when that day I work is Saturday. (When I work Saturday, I work 8-5; when I work Sunday, I work 1-5.) I usually get left to do the dishes even when H cooks. This time, H did all of it. The only dishes I did are the ones I was still using while he was washing the rest. This was quite a treat to not have to prepare any meals for a day or have to do any dishes.
I had to work Sunday. When I got home, D had bought me a hydrangea and H had bought me a new vase. D wants me to plant the hydrangea outside. She knows I like flowers, but wanted to get me something that would last more than a few days. I don't do well with plants, so I hope I do okay with this one. H is the gardener. He said we would have to wait until next weekend to plant it. He'll get some mulch and help me dig the hole. I read on the internet that hydrangeas wrapped in foil don't do well. They get rootbound in the pot they come in, but they aren't bred for planting either. I'll try putting it in a bigger pot for the time being--in case we don't get around to planting it next weekend. I hope we can keep it healthy after we plant it in the ground.
We have bookshelves on both sides of the fireplace in our family room. H wants to get rid of some of the cluttery stuff we currently have there and replace some of it with prettier things. That's is the purpose of the vase. It is very pretty.
H and I went for a walk after dinner last night. While we were walking, I asked him if he had read his note yet. I was a little worried about asking him because I didn't want to pressure him. My fears were unfounded. He was glad to tell me that he had read some of it. I told him that I liked the new way he was touching me when we ML the night before. He said he got that from my list. He said that he would read the rest of the list a little at a time. I said that was fine and that I don't expect him to do all of it at one time--at least night right away. He said he'll memorize my note.
