ALWAYS!! I'm so glad to hear from you! Fill us in your your fab life these days!!

UPDATE: Not much to say, I guess. I challenged H to take me to a baseball game last week. He considered it but claimed to not be able to find good tickets. In the same convo, I confronted the spending issue. He got defensive at first, but I stuck to my guns and stayed kind, made it a "we" covno instead of a "you" convo, and said what I needed to say. I know he heard me, but I don't think he's started paying on the debt yet. I've decided that If I don't see action by the end of the month, I'll ask him to bring all the paperwork here so we can do it together. Thoughts?

Today I was disappointed because I got a pair of tickets from a student for tonight's game--great seats, Mariners aginst Devil Rays, who lead the AL East. I told H about it last week and invited him along. I left a sassy VM this morning asking what time he was going to pick me up. When I spoke to him around noon, he was a little upset because he didn't want to go and felt badly about it. He assured me that it wasn't because of me--I told him that I didn't think it was anyway-- but he just wasn't into it. I didn't EXPECT him to go exactly, but I HOPED he would and was so sad that he didn't. I spoke to H a little after the second call just with fun stuff--I wanted him to think I wasn't affected by his decision even thought I really was. I guess that sounds pretty childish.

The silver lining here is that one of his big complaints earlier in the MLCBS was that he did things because I wanted to do them, not because he wanted to. This time he let me know how he really felt, and I appreciate that even though I was sad.

I decided to give the tickets to FF who just got married in WI because I didn't really know anyone else who I'd enjoy the game with. I spent the rest of the day licking my wounds a little. Wine helped. \:\) I might go downtown for the Bon Odori festival--there's one every year here, and I've never gone. It depends on the weather, though--lots of rain today.

I hate this part of the rollercoaster!

Oh well--tomorrow is another day. Be well, friends.
