Plank removed from my eye, too late for WAW? 6

[Heimlich]

GD, Sunny, Nugget,

Have a Saints game to prep for (i.e., need to settle the nerves with a whiskey), but a few quick thoughts. Yeah, I'm generally pretty honest. And, seriously, the more I think of this, the more I think that getting my W to talk is key. Unlike most of you, I never heard squat from her about her real feelings other than a few counceling sessions. She's got this block that "I can't talk to him". Not sure how to break it down. For the most part, DB is the right way to go for me. 100%? I'm not so sure. And, yeah, I realize how arrogant that sounds. Again, need to do some thinking about this. Also just realized that she expressed herself to me twice on Friday -- once with the initial email and then asking me if I had a good time at the field trip. For the past 6 months, she's been like a black hole. That's new behavior from her. She also saw me and drove toward me on Saturday. Otherwise, most of the conversation that day wouldn't have even happened. She could have just as easily pulled out and left.

Today went really well. W called a little frazzled about getting the cake. Told her that I thought I would get it anyway and not to worry about it (she was getting balloons and other stuffus). Got a sincere thank you.

Had a good time at the party -- Bowl America. 16 or so kids rushing up and down throwing both pink and orange bowling balls down 5 lanes. Fun, a bit exhausting though. We managed the party together, with each of us checking with the other to make sure everythign was covered.

Had planned on driving to the house so that Casey could open our presents (we decided to buy joint presents for her this year). While we were in the parking lot, she invited me to stay for dinner.

Tore through the presents like a buzzsaw. I got a makeover with the Hannah Montana makeup kit -- looked like a VERY ugly drag queen for a while. Had dinner. Girls went outside. W said something like, "We're alone. We've had a good day Please don't bring up anything about us." Said I had no intention of doing so and thanked her for inviting me for dinner, that it was nice of her especially after our conversations the last two days.

Gave the girls hugs out by the car. W patted my arm/shoulder on the way past. Again, not a frequent thing. She's been "no touch" for a while now.

So. Dunno what any of this means.

Don't think she's seeing OM at the moment. Yeah, I know, I may be a fool. Still.

Nugget, Only snooped once in all of this (well, twice if you count thinking about buying email cracking software the night she told me about the A -- just over a year ago at this point).

GD/Sunny, just cut and paste a previous 2X4 for me and drop it in her now and again. I've probably done something dumb even if you're not responding to anything in particular.
