Hey y'all -

Thanks for all the congrats and happy wishes!!

I think we're on alternating weeks - sex weeks and no-sex weeks. W tried dressing up in sexy underwear for me, then halfway through said "this doesn't feel right" - so for the last few days it's been a bit of a dry spell as she's got her protective "no sex" barrier up again. No worries, she says, just need a little time and space, we'll get back to it before long.

For my part, I'm thinking about the whole "love language" thing and realizing that I've dropped off a little bit. Haven't been getting up and making breakfast like I was (although I've been still buying a lot of gifts), things like that. Not that it's a big deal but I want to remain aware and keep making a happy home. She gives me every indication that she feels loved and that everything is great.

One thing I can do, which I know is really important to her and I've never actually done it - put up Christmas lights on the house exterior. I'll do that this weekend.

KML, KAW - thanks for stopping in, you really tickled me with your enthusiasm and joy! Gopher dance, eh?

Karen, Kitti, Seattle - well, you're not rid of me yet. Nah, I'm still around, more lurking than anything. Things are pretty busy these days with work and home, but that's no excuse to neglect my friends.

I'd be happy to summarize things, but will have to put aside some time. I can post all my threads though. Here we go:

1st time poster looking for feedback
My snazzy new thread

There Are Parts Left Over

God bless, y'all! I'm off to a meeting -
