Maybe I should be in piecing part 5?

[Hope4us]

Good morning. Well, Puppy's news gives me renewed hope.

And of course, after my comment about W leaving the purse I got her for her birthday in November in the closet I come home from dropping S20 off at school and what's she doing? Yep, transferring the stuff from her old purse to the new one. Maybe she's a mind reader and knew what I posted?

Anyway, had a nice day yesterday. Was pretty detached from W in the morning. Kind of playing it like was suggested by the ladies. I was polite, brought her a Latte when I came home from my hair cut. She really likes "Seattle's Best" coffee and doesn't really care for Starbucks. So Friday night when I said something about a haircut yesterday morning, W asked if my haircut was near "the strip" where the Borders is with the Seattle's Best cafe in it. I told her "not really", but there was a Starbucks in the same strip mall, and if she wanted one of those, I'd bring one home. She said "I don't like Starbucks" so I just said "ok".

So when I walked in with the Seattle's Best she said "you went to the strip"? I said "yes". She replied "Starbucks would have been ok" to which I said "You said you didn't like Starbucks". She said "I said it would have been ok". And I just said "oh". A minute or so later she quietly said "thank you".

So the rest of the morning I was pretty detached. Did my own thing. Left to take S20 back to school around 1:00. While in the car I thought to myself "I wonder how long it will be before W TM's me"? She didn't disappoint. Took about an hour and a half. So I was polite in the TM exchanges. Got S20 to school and went to Chipotle for dinner. W TM's me while I'm there asking directions to one of S16's friends house. Now she knows the way. They've been there before and they have a google map so I'm not sure why she had to TM to ask, but I didn't want to get into trying to TM directions, so I called her. And it was like she didn't want to get off the phone with me. Finally I had to say "my food is getting cold" and ended the call.

So when I get home she's fixing up her new purse and has a glass of wine for herself. And when I sat down she started talking and talking.

And it was like that the whole evening. Just a really nice night of conversation and watching football. W made a couple comments about when our new bed would be showing up. Almost sounded like she wants to sleep in bed with me.

Ok, I've rambled enough. Thanks for listening.
