A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Ok, So I'm going to an Irish music jam, tonight. Please help me perfect the game plan.

H gets home between 5:15 and 6, depending on traffic. He usually stops in for 10 mins or so, then leaves for his dinner/movie night at T & O's place. With kidlet in tow, he will come home around 9pm-ish, as that's kidlet's bedtime.

1) Doll up to the nines. Hair, makeup, perfume, flirty little skirt - the works. Be this way when H gets home.

2) No dinner ready. Cold house, cold kitchen.

3) Breeze out w/o telling him where I'm going or when I'll be back. (?)

4) Hug and kiss kidlet, but not H unless he initiates. (?)

5) Come home... when?

6) Try the 'talking animatedly on the cellphone' trick - yes or no?

Is trying to provoke jealousy *really* a good idea given the details of our sitch?

Any other details, ideas, suggestions, 2x4s, etc.? If he asks, do I tell him where I was? Or do I say something like, "Oh, I poked around at some clubs until I found music I liked."
