The 6th grade bonfire was a blast. 110+ people here... Loads of fun.
One little hiccup, but I think I handled it ok. At the end of the evening (About 11:30pm or so) a couple of the families were saying goodbye, and thanking us for having everyone, talked about everyone having a blast, and saying what a nice, and fun couple we are. (By the third time hearing this... MB gets a little misty-eyed. Especially, after one of MB's girlfriends making cute comments about loving our master bedroom, and some kind of cute gf sex comments about my H and I... totally innocent)
So, instead of making a big deal out of things, or going to my H with this sorrow, I just quietly slipped up to our room (H was out on boat house talking to others), and had myself a quiet, short, little cry. H comes looking for me, and I tell him I'll be right there... just using the bathroom. I come out, and I've tried to suck it up, but the eyes are still a little glassy (not bad, though), and he asks what the problem is (he's not exactly sensitive, never has been). I tell him, I'm fine, just got a little misty eyed. No big deal. He pushes me, and I tell him I'm just a little sad, but am moving on (from the mood).
H says OK, and goes back downstairs... He comes back a few minutes later... asks again.. and I tell him, OK, look, I just got a little sad when I was being complimented about what a great couple we are (considering the circumstances). I'm sure you understand... He says, "I guess"... walks out of the room, and immediately turns around, and for 10 minutes starts telling me jokes, talking about a funny event that happened, etc... Then he goes downstairs to deal with the stragglers...
I join them about 15 minutes later. All is well.
We go to bed. He talks my ear off.
This am. Same thing... comes in my office while I'm working, talks my ear off...

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
