KAW...do these posts just flow from your finger tips or do you sit and compose them for hours???
You have SUCH insight and SUCH a way with words...we HAVE discussed you being a writer before, haven't we???
Too funny you mentioning the solar activity...when my Mom started telling CJ how her VCR kept coming on by itself, my Dad (LOVE THEM!!) said..."Yeah, I told her it was probably the solar flares!"
(She'd accidentally set the thing up to tape the weather channel for 4 hours each day!!! )
Quote: know exactly how you feel about the perfunctory ILY. In my case tho, they only came after I said it first.[ I/quote]
I'm afraid I'm guilty of this...maybe that's just how CJ SAYS ILY...but my replies are pretty lame too...and in the past at times...absent altogether .
So maybe (a la Sage...didn't think I'd forgotten YOUR thoughts from last week, did you??? ) I should spice up my OWN ILY's, huh????
Quote: However, CJ coming home last nite with flowers was a nice touch.
I'll say!!! ...and the unexpected grocery shopping. The flowers are LOVELY...deep reds and oranges, dyed wheat for accent...I have them in my favourite blue vase in our living room window...ties in the new red wall
Quote: Have you tried sending him an e-card. If he is struggle to get thru a course when he's not feeling well ... getting a "Hope you feel better soon" might perk him up and getting those kind of surpise might incite him to check at his email more.
GREAT idea...I've never sent anyone an e-greeting...wish I'd thought of it for Halloween!
Actually, KAW him NOT checking his e-mail (his course work is done on a bb similar to this with internal one to one messaging added) is kind of a mixed blessing...e-mail was one of "their" major modes of communication...part of the whole thing was him turning to the internet for companionship and ultimately more.....
Quote: It sounds like tonite should break the rut you've been feeling about the same ole, same ole each day. Is this feeling more pronounced between Monday and Friday? If so, what is there you can do to break the mid-week rut? Maybe, do something different one night each week ... one Wednesday evening go bowling ... next week play some pool ... or go to a movie ... etc.
Weeelll, seems I led everyone astray...tonight is handing out candy...CJ has a couple of assignments on the go. The party is TOMORROW night!! But I have my kitti ears on in case I have time to check out Pam's party!!
AS for the suggestions....I kind of chuckled (wearily)... You see of late I am SOOOO wiped out after work that the most I can manage is TV and BB...CJ generally works most nights on his course. But he DOES love pool and mentioned a few times a while ago how he'd like to shoot a game with me.....OMG do I sense some GOALS arising here???
Indeed I purchased tickets for a live stand-up comedy show (very rare here) for next Thursday...night before CJ's 42nd! (He loves stand-up too and was the one who drew this to my attention..I'm LISTENING!!!)
