Thanks Pup, JAK.

Interesting night last night. W was quiet, and obviously in a bad mood. I just stayed away from her.

It continues today......

EGF back to work yesterday....coincidence?

Who knows?

But this is her crap to deal with. I'm not playin....but I guess that's wrong, I'm going to go play golf.

Talk to ya soon.

I was gonna predict that Thursday she'd be back to her old self, but I didn't want to be so cynical and nor be a buzzkiller.

Same ol' pattern.

Good deal on the golf*, but I disagree about the "her crap to deal with" to this extent:

You had success before -- multiple times -- in continuing to love her, but calling her on her chit. I suggest you do that again if the mood continues tonite.

*took my S12 and S16 on Wednesday, and after shooting a crappy 53 on the front, sunk a 40-foot "Texas wedge" from just off the front of the 18th green to pull off a back-9 44!

But it wasn't the same old pattern until EGF returned to work.

Now there could be a number of other things that are messin with her, PMS, S20 needed MORE money at school, etc, but it just seems quite coincidental that EGF is not at work for almost two weeks and the normal pattern didn't play out, until EGF came back to work.

For the two weeks EGF wasn't at work and there was very limited contact with her, W was a different person. But she returns yesterday and all the sudden, W is quiet, not engaged at all, nothing.

And this morning I sent her an IM asking her if she found anyone who wanted some tickets to a show we have for Saturday night that we can't use and it took forever for her to respond. No big deal, she's probably busy. She finally responds. I asked her how her day was going. Long pause. Fine, quiet. Me: You busy? Long pause. Not really. Me: Ok, I won't bug you. No response. A while later, me: Have I done something to make you angry? (OK, I know I probably shouldn't have asked that). Long pause. No, I'm not angry. And then she signed out of IM.

So who knows WTF is up with her? But I can't control her moods. And S17 and I are going golfing, so it's all good.

[Hope4us]

Hey guys and gals.

Golf was good. Shot 46 even though I missed 3 putts of less than 5 feet, so it could have been a pretty decent round.

S17 was thinking about spending the weekend in our hometown so I told him ask his mom to make sure she didn't have a problem with it. So he TM'd her and she replied that she didn't think it was a good idea since today W and I are going to go help S20 move from his apartment into a house at school and if S17 was gone, then our 3 month old puppy would be home alone for probably 10 hours or more. S17 was kind of upset so I called W at work to just discuss with her and she was pretty ok on the phone. I agreed that it wasn't a good idea for S17 to go and the call ended.

She got home from work an hour or so later and came out on the deck where I was sitting and she started talking and talking and talking. Seems her bi*chy attitude was gone.

We ended up going out to dinner at "our" bar/grill and had a great time. A really great time.

W had a little too much to drink and ended up falling asleep on the couch. When I came downstairs this morning she was laughing that she woke up at 5 am but didn't want to come upstairs because that would wake the dogs and then there'd be no more sleep for one of us, and you know who that is.

During our date, she was talking about "us" a lot more, talking about long range stuff, was telling me about a conversation she had with a lady at work about her boss and a conversation her boss and I had one time when I was doing a presentation at the Refinery. When W was relating the conversation, she used the words "my husband" a couple of times.

So anyway, I've rambled on long enough. Guess that "angry" period was short lived and she's back to the engaged person she was earlier this week and the previous week.

But there's still that "something" holding her back.

I'm beginning to wonder if you type that every time, or if it's become part of your auto-signature.

LOL Pup. So should I just add it to my sig and save myself the trouble?

Yesterday was a long, busy, exhausting day. Drove down to help S20 move from his apt to a house he's sharing with 3 other guys. And his apt is on the 3rd floor and it's the highest 3rd floor I've ever seen! I'm so sore this morning I can hardly move without grunting! It's he!! getting old.

But we had a good time. W was totally engaged and I noticed she wore those anniversary gift earrings again! That's two times in a week! At one point during the day W got a TM from her non-EGF GF at work and after trading a couple of TM's with her she shared what was going on and we had a nice conversation about that.

Finally got home about 1 am and right to bed. I'm glad the puppy let me sleep until almost 8 this morning. Been a couple of months since I've been able to sleep that late!

Today will be busy again. Mow the yard, grocery shopping and then this evening W and I are going to see the Cardinals and Indians, but it doesn't start until 8! Crap. When I first got the tickets it was a 1:00 game, but then ESPN had to get involved and now it's on Sunday night baseball. We'll be in the first section past first base, 10 rows back. Keep and eye out for us! Of course, none of you guys are probably stupid enough to watch the Indians play, but if there's any Cardinals fans out there, look for us!

H4U,

Are you guys sleeping in the same bed together now? Any LMing other than the vacation sex?

Sorry if you've already covered this, but I can't remember.

GO YANKEES!!!

Puppy

[Hope4us]

Hey Pup.

Yes, sleeping in the same bed since January when we got the new bedroom stuff. No, no LM other than vacation sex.

And last night was a perfect example of why I say "there's something holding her back".

We went to the Indians/Cardinals game (great game btw, Lee had a no no into the 8th inning). Had a blast. Laughing, talking and of course, a hot dog each and a couple beers.

After the game was over we were walking to the car, laughing about when S17 was a toddler and we caught him getting a drink of water off the deck after we'd watered the flowers, holding hands most of the way.

It was probably a 10 minute walk back to the car and about 7 minutes into the walk, all the sudden, W pulls her hand away. We got in the car and I put my hand over to hold her hand on the drive home and she pulled it back some so I couldn't hold it.

The ride home was ok. We talked some, but we were both pretty tired so it was kind of quiet. W was doing a lot of looking out the side window. Got home late and went straight to bed.

This morning she's chatty before I leave for work and sends me a couple LOL type IM's, but I was pretty busy so I couldn't really talk. I told her I'd have to talk to her later.

So again I'll say "there's something holding her back".

P.S. I'm a Yankee fan also Pup! Put a spankin on Santana last night didn't we?
