Sara, believe me, I am no decoration item. I use a Black & Decker, change tires, etc etc, on top of all the rest that need to be done in a house. When I say gift I mean the feeling you get sometimes when you look at your life partner and think to yourself "God i was lucky to have met him/her!!!" and realise how good you have it. Maybe I never felt appreciated and had to say it in all possible ways...LOL!!
Today we havent contacted each other yet and it is 22:00. I think the advice we got, "dont do anything you dont feel like", took the guilt away and now we are comfortable staying completely apart from each other. Makes me wonder if we are fooling ourselves...
Anyway, I am going back to my pre=anti bomb era and spend more quality time with the kids, cook, watch my diet, listen to music, use all sorts of wonderful smelling body lotions etc etc
Today I changed the bracelet he bought me. I bought very long, 'thin' delicate golden earings I would never have bought myself but I think they will look good with black turtleneck and my short hair... a 180 for me. I think this must be if not the first the second time I change a present. I dont care.
