Good point T!!! How does one sit on a picnic blanket in a mini skirt?? Or is that the extra energy you're going to show your H JUST JOKING!!!!!
Some nice and positive interactions lately Lisa.. and I have to say that after you speak with your DB coach you have an extra boost of confidence that comes across in your posts... I like it!
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I finally got my facercise book.. but I am terrible at doing it every day or even twice a day when I'm supposed to. I need to make it part of my daily routine but haven't been trying hard enough to do so!
(((((Future Girl, Ali, Julia, My Lovely and Beautiful Where))))))
I love being away for the day and coming back to your posts.
Essie.... I'm so glad I've helped you experiment. it gives me a happy glow. And even better, I'm happy that experimenting has got you some good kissing. YIPEEEE for experiments and you! If only I could wear a lab coat out- it'd be very funny! Sadly, though, my days of actually working in a lab are gone- I'm a desk sitter now
Ali- I think I might apply for the job and see how I get on. No obligation in applying, although moving will be a bit of an upheaval. H mentioned looking for jobs in the North today though, so he's thinking about something related.
Essentially DB Coach said I should mirror H's energy, but that I should liven things up a bit and make them playful. It's really relating to when H and I met and how I was at that time. She was just saying I need to do that more (it did involve me being peeved about lots of things unrelated to H!). I have to type my notes up so will do that over the weekend some time. I didn't ask her why she suggested it- just thought I'd try and see if it worked (that's also how I used to work in the lab)
T, Julia, Where- the miniskirt was mini (mid thigh), and the boots were knee-high black leather (with a platform). It was a bit different for me- I haven't worn a mini for ages, and the one I wore was one H bought for me in dark denim. In the end it was too wet to picnic, so the British 'sitting in a mini skirt' trick wasn't required, but it would have been to put my knees together and then twist my power leg out to the left side, lean over to my right and put my right hand down for a bit of support. Not sure if that makes sense....it emphasises leg length and makes you stick your hips out so emphasises curves too. Maybe next time it's sunny
T- in relation to energy, it's what I told Al about mirroring H's mood, but being playful, like I was at the beginning. The advice was quite related to the stage H and I are in, though- Jody wanted me to try and mix it up and bit and be a bit surprising. Will post at the weekend.
Where- I am SO happy you got your facercise book! How exciting!! I don't do mine twice a day- it seems a bit too much, but I do do it once a day for 5 days a week (I have weekends off!). The car program is good if you drive anywhere? You sound good yourself , Where. How are you doing?
A kind of side-saddle position!! I thought of you this morning when I was getting off the tube and saw a girl wearing a pair of city shorts with boots and tights. With the right pair they can look really hot and you'd avoid the whole exposing something you might not want to thing... lol!
It will be interesting to see whether the DB coach's ideas get any response. Sometimes I think you H is actually a zombie, not to notice you!
I think we shall have to go on a picnic! You might have to come here, though! I don't know that it will ever stop raining over there! There must be jobs for you here!
H and I met for lunch today. He mailed me this morning to ask when I wanted to meet and we got together and walked around looking for a restaurant. In the end H chose a bar, and I validated his choice. We had a really nice lunch- usual topics of conversation so I won't reiterate. In the end I didn't have to be too peeved- H raised some things himself so I just responded and agreed with the same energy level.
One interesting thing H brought up: he'd seen 2 jobs in the North in his field where he'd get good pay. We talked about his plans to move out of London (which he/we always had pre bomb). This led to me validating and agreeing that moving out of London was a good plan, and being peeved about my tube journey (which, in fairness, is not the most pleasant thing). H's parents live near Liverpool, so we talked about how it was a good place to live in general.
I asked H if we were going to do something next Thursday (our wedding anniversary). He looked a bit caught in headlights (I suggested a car experience or a speedboat trip). Then I said he didn't have to reply immediately, and apologised in case I'd pre-empted him arranging something. Then moved on (won't be trying to suggest an anniversary outing again )
At the end of the meal we were just looking at each other, right in the eyes for longer than 'just friends'. It was nice. I looked away first as he was making my tummy flip flop with his beautiful gorgeousness. Then we walked back to the station. I commented on his trousers making his bottom look sexy- advice from DB Coach. As we walked, my arm was linked through his and a couple of times we just caught each others' eye again and smiled. At one point I was talking to him about how funny it'd be if he had a pet elephant. He was laughing a lot, which was good and I said I thought I needed a fake pet of my own (Austin has a squirrel who eats Cheerios, and work colleague a raccon). H said I should have a monkey and laughed (he used to call me Monkey as a term of endearment).
Said goodbye with a short hug (H sighed while he was hugging me and I asked if I'd squeezed to tightly), and a kiss on the cheek. This afternoon we exchanged about 5 e-mails about links on Youtube and what I was up to. It was nice and I enjoyed it- I hope he did too. I went to the pub with my colleague for a couple of drinks (suggested H come in a jokey way but didn't expect him to and he didn't respond to it) and then came home.
H is seeing BIL on Monday and said he 'wasn't doing much' the rest of the weekend when I asked what he was up to. That's fine- a euphemism for aubergine. I said I was going to the driving range on Monday and tried to demonstrate my swing (not easy in a mini skirt and boots). H then said it'd be better if I wasn't wearing my skirt, to which I replied that if he was coming I was willing to go naked. He laughed and I did too (except that I was deadly serious )
I don't expect to hear from him over the weekend but might text him to let him know my thoughts on the Youtube link he sent me and see what happens. Feeling positive as it was my goal this week for H to hold eye contact with me.
How are you guys? I hope you have stunning weekends planned.
L. xx
PS> Al- forgot to reply to this in my last post. Yes, I don't know what's in H's mind. At this stage, though, I'd have to say I'm not too bothered. If he wants me, great- I'm here. And if he doesn't I've got two bankers and my CEO hanging around and H can carry on hanging out with his scientist non-PhD aubergine. Ha!
I think we shall have to go on a picnic! You might have to come here, though! I don't know that it will ever stop raining over there! There must be jobs for you here!
((((Handsome)))))
I'd love that! Are there any pharmaceutical companies in Tucson? Maybe I should have a look- it'd be perfect!! How are you doing? Got a nice weekend planned?
((((Julia))))) Thank you for thinking of me- that's so nice! Not sure I could carry off shorts and boots though. I felt very risque in the mini skirt. Never say never though!! How are you?
Correctly brought up young ladies SHOULD always keep ones knees together, after all my mother always said Knees are joints not a form of entertainment,
And if he doesn't I've got two bankers and my CEO hanging around and H can carry on hanging out with his scientist non-PhD aubergine. Ha!
I find this paragraph disturbing! ???????
I am planning a journey to the driving range after work! Not nearly as fun as it could be, I guess! Actually, I think I am onto something in my swing..... I hope to prove it! It might make a big difference!

JUST JOKING!!!!!
I don't do mine twice a day- it seems a bit too much, but I do do it once a day for 5 days a week (I have weekends off!). The car program is good if you drive anywhere? You sound good yourself , Where. How are you doing?
