I posted some goals a while ago.... I should look for them!
Jen, not a word. Everything I've put on the mirror is still there, and she hasn't said a single word to me about it. I didn't see her this morning, I think she was outside, somewhere, when I left for work.
Three goals: 1. I would like a hug to be returned, or even initiated by her! 2. I would like her to say goodnight before she disappears. 3. I would like a kiss. (ok that might not be small, or attainable)
I also posted, after that, I think, that I had other goals for myself, losing weight, more GAL, and that sort of thing. Taking care of me, rather than worrying about the R.
Hey Jeff, is there anything specific that she enjoys? I just ask because in posting on Dan's thread, I realized that the best gift I ever got was from my H, a spa treatment. It was something just for me.
Do you think she would be receptive to something like that?
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
I gave her a gift certificate for a spa more than a year ago. She used some of it for a pedicure. And hasn't used the rest.
She enjoys her quilt making, I guess. I could get her a gift certificate from a quilt store, but she gets everything she needs/wants anyway. The other problem is that she sees any gift that cost anything as money that didn't need to be spent. Makes it all that much more of a challenge!

Homemade coupons. For things she normally does around the house. But with the coupon, you do it for a day or something. Just something to give her a break - whether it's dishes or laundry or cooking or food shopping. I know you already do a lot around the house, but what are HER things? Also put one in there for a foot massage from you, or a back rub. Something that is a little bit of a treat, but would be free that way. And if she doesn't want it, she doesn't have to take you up on it!

Is there anything she needs that she hasn't bought herself? I know it might sound lame, but I noticed the car mats in my H's care were worn right through and bought him new mats. I even put them in his car at the parking lot at work and then continued on to my own work, so they were a surprise when he got in the car later.
He thanked me for them. Yes, he was surprised that I went to his work, but he didn't seem upset about it. It isn't like I tried to come see him or anything. The mats are cool with a square pattern to them. He really liked the style.

Also I want to pick your brain. I need a little break. If he gets in line, H gets to come, if not, I am going solo.
I have heard the Sedona area and the Camelback areas are lovely. I would like to find a nice resort in AZ with options for golfing, hiking, and spa treatments. I am willing to spend 200-300 a night, but I can't afford a $1000/night movie star-type place. Any suggestions??
