lwb, Wow, five weeks with no relationship talk...that's awesome!! I don't know that I'll ever be able to go that long, and alot of times things are out of my mouth or I allow the conversation to go where it probably shouldn't because I'm not paying enough attention. I hope things go well for you...I'll have to read over your thread so I can see what's going on with you...
Journaling: Where is my normal, boring life I had a year ago? Life around here is just weird right now! Last night I found out that my husband bought a motorcycle. On ebay. It lives in Connecticut. We live in Tennessee. It can't drive here by itself. Sooooo...road trip to Connecticut Thursday with our DS7. He had a motorcycle before (not my son, my husband :)...sold it a year ago...has wanted another one ever since...even though I don't think it's the greatest decision ever, whatever. And I've never been to Connecticut, and I love road trips. It will involve spending a couple of nights in hotels, which may be kind of awkward, but I felt like it wasn't safe for him to go alone. I casually asked if I could come along, and he was like, "Yeah, that would be great." And he said he hadn't wanted to go by himself.
It was a really great opportunity to DB, because before all of this I would have flipped out about him buying another motorcycle (kind of pricey), him buying a Connecticut motorcycle, him buying a Connecticut motorcycle that he has to go pick up...you get the picture. I was soooo tempted to call him last night about it, but then I thought, Hey, that's the old Jasmine. The new fabulous Jasmine will not worry about it, will go to bed, will talk about it tomorrow, and will not act like it causes any kind of worry or disorder in her fantastic life. And that's what I did. So now he's all excited about the road trip and me packing the cooler and finding historic sites to see with our son, etc. He says it's about an 18-hour drive, so I'm seriously doubting that I will be able to keep myself from talking about our relationship at all, but having our son will help tremendously on that front. I want to take advantage of this bizarre (and so unexpected) opportunity, but I'll have to keep playing it cool and DB like crazy.
