A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

So last night was night one of H's male bonding nights. He came home much earlier than I expected - 10 pm. I thought he'd be out til midnight-ish based on what he'd told me about being out 'late'. Then, when he saw the clock, he was surprised it was even that late as he'd meant to leave earlier. This is especially interesting as their boss, who was there, gave H's whole department the day off today for more hanging out time.

I was curled into a corner of the couch reading and he plopped himself down and threw a leg over mine. I stroked his calf while we talked for awhile and shared the 'how was your day' kind of stuff. I told a few funny stories about the kidlet and the cats. That lasted half an hour to 45 mins, then he went to check email and such. I went and read in the master bed mostly cuz it's more comfy-cozy than reading on the couch sometimes (I get awful tired of that couch!).

My kitty came and curled around the top of my head like he does when we sleep in a real bed. He can't do it on the couch as there's not enough room. He ootches his paws into my hair and purrs in my ear. H had never seen that before, though I'd described it for him. When he was ready to come to bed (I told him I'd move) The whole kitty-in-my hair thing red-lined his cute-meter.

H: Awwwwww! Now *that's* cute!
