Some history: Early in our marriage, I used to tell my husband when I bought clothes and show him what I bought. He always expressed disapproval and lectured me on spending too much money. So for the past 25 years, I have never mentioned buying any new clothes. I sneak them into my closet and just wear them. He never asks when or where I got them.
Newsflash: I have landed at least temporary work with an important agency located in Denver, and will be going there this week to get started on the project and pick up the files to work on.
The notable event: Tonight at dinner my husband asked if I was ready for the trip. I said that I had been going through my closet trying to find appropriate clothes for 4 days in the office in summer. He expressed concern, and suggested that I buy some new clothes!!! (Of course, I already have, but maybe tomorrow I will buy some more.) He then offered to let me borrow a briefcase that he had recently bought for a business trip. I told him I had bought a new briefcase for this trip, and he said, "Good."!!!
I'm around. I've just been busy getting DD18 ready to leave for college, less than two weeks, . I'm excited for her, but boy, am I going to miss her. She'll only be about an hour away, so I'll get to see her often.
Hope you all are doing okay.

Glad to hear you are back. I just went to Denver for a week for work, but ended up not getting much work done because my boss was sick. But we did enough, and now I am back home with all my pets. I'm sure you were happy to get back to your horses too.
Just had to share this. I'm meeting a man for margaritas tonight. This is what my horoscope says today:
Aquarius, August 5 Say goodbye to the bad habits of your single life now. You have the chance to secure a romantic partnership and to enjoy the coziness of being a couple. The willingness to make compromises with another person prepares you for a deeper commitment.
Hmmmmm....Sounds interesting

Well, I'm back. He was very nice. He is attractive, educated, and articulate. He is an accountant. It was obvious he was attracted to me. He texted me before I was a block away! Why does this scare the hell out of me?
