Thanks Kat. I understand what you're saying.

Well well, back from our what turned out to be weekend away. It started out on a bad note. S21 called us Friday and a friend of his since grade school passed away. This young man had been fighting cancer since 8th grade. He'd fight it off and then it'd return and he finally succumbed. Our son was a good friend of his, but his two best friends are away in the military, one in Iraq and the other in North Carolina (and he can't come home for the funeral), so S21 is back in our home town for a few days. We took off Friday after work and drove to S. Ohio to get S21 and then all the way to almost Mich to pick up my mom's car so S21 could use our car for a few days.

So W and I got our hotel room for an extra night. We finally got in our room about 12:30 after driving since 3:30 that afternoon.

Yesterday we went out to an Island in Lake Erie. Had a GREAT time! We both had quite a bit to drink, but at one point during the day W said to me (I don't remember how it came up in conversation), "I love you, I've always loved you". I bout dropped my dentures. She then hugged me and said in my ear "I'm sorry". She also said she would get rid of that stupid glass that OM gave her even though it means nothing to her. I said "I believe that it might not mean anything to you, but it means A TON to me". So she said she'd take care of it.

I also managed to slip into conversation earlier in the day about "love chemicals" and how they can be almost an addiction since the part of your brain that is affected is the same area affected when someone is on cocaine or meth. She actually listed and asked a few questions.

And here's another interesting thing. We were talking to the drummer from one of the bands we were listening to and he complimented W on how she looked, etc and she was blushing, etc. He made a comment about how good her legs looked and she smiled. So after they started playing again I said to W "help me out here, earlier today I told you your legs looked great and you act like I don't know what I'm talking about and you can't take the compliment but when someone else does it, you take it as a compliment. Why?" W says "I don't know, and that's something that haunts me". Hummmm.....gonna have to work on that one. Obviously W LOVED the compliments OM gave her and that was a ticket to get in her pants when she didn't/doesn't believe me when I compliment her. WTF do I do with that? How do I get her to see/believe me when I compliment her like that?

We just had a really good time. Went back to our hotel and I think we beat the previous Saturday for passion and activity in bed.

It was just a great weekend. We got home a bit ago and I told her I had a really good time and I especially like hearing her say she loved me and she looked at me and said "I didn't say that". I said, "Yes you did. So now that the cat is out of the bag......" and she just smiled.

She's upstairs taking a nap right now and I still can't believe we're so close to making it.

I'll keep you posted.
