W called and said she sent me an e-mail, and we had a good talk. She hasn't told her parents she's moving out yet, and is nervous about it (I've had enough encounters with FIL to understand why). I told her to do it via e-mail, just like I should have done more in our marriage (our discussions would get heated at times, and she would ask about e-mail but, like everything else I didn't listen. It seemed weird to e-mail when you live with someone). She said "look at you with your good advice." Very surprising.

Check out the e-mail:

H,

thank you so much for spoiling me this weekend! it was such a wonderful feeling of you taking care of me and of us enjoying each other's company.

i forgot the air mattress, but will be able to borrow one from my dad and MIL. thanks for being willing though.

as to pictures, i'll have to get to work!! ;\)

i hope you are having a good rest of your week.

W

Explanation: she wanted to borrow my air mattress to check out this Craigslist place for a month before moving her stuff. As for the pics, I bought her a couple presents at Fredericks of Hollywood, and I want some pics

She hasn't signed her name to an e-mail in a long time. Now we're doing an old long-distance dating trick and watching "Army Wives" at the same time and talking on the phone. Baby steps...
