Dia, I think you are going great! I admire your hard work.

About the dress.....I think it is a shame the female population has resorted to wearing mostly pants. (Which I am just as bad. cry ) My dad said something one time that I always remembered. He said that no matter how great a woman looked in a pair of slacks, it never would replace what a dress did for her. You said it…..men like to see us in skirts. I think we have to act more like ladies by the way we walk, sit, etc. It all seems to fall together. I am also of the opinion that when we “look” feminine that we will act feminine. When we “look” our best, we will act our best.

Telling your H “thanks” is a wonderful way to show appreciation. I did not realize how badly I had gotten away from doing that until my S & his W stayed with us for a while. My DIL is the sweetest girl you would ever meet! She is always telling my S “thanks” and it caused me to realize how I was not doing that with my own H. The young lady taught the old one in that case…..lol. It is a form of praise (I think)….at least it is appreciation and that ranks very high on men’s “needs” list.
Good job!


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
