Hi ladies,
Last night was awesome. the night was clear, about 38 degrees, nearing full moon. We walked almost 1 1/2 hours at a decent pace. Went to dinner at place where H & I always go after bike riding (same hike/bike trail). good beer. Met some people. Mostly older than me, but that's ok, they are very active! Was concerned about getting home.

I had run home to change & saw h briefly. He was grumpy but I didn't do any "what's wrong?" and we just said c-ya' later. I told him I would check in on him for dinner stuff. I called and offered to bring him food. He called later, I said I was bringing him bbq chix pizza-special treat, and he asked me to pick up a drain part. I like when he asks me to do stuff for him b/c sometimes I feel like he has this facade of never wanting to appear like he "needs" me...

So, we ate, and he worked on the drain until 1:30 am. YUCK! I showed him some huggin's this morn. & said he must be exhausted. He said I didn't even know. I left a note telling him that I turned up the hot H20 heater and thanked him for the hard car & house work that he's been doing. He's still not done with the drain. I asked about it, but he didn't want to share much details so I let it go. No prob w/me. What's so hard? It's just a bunch of squiggly tubes. JK! He told me he sniffed the glue and THEN read the back that said how EXTREMELY flammable and dangerous it is to breathe...silly silly monkey!

I'm feeling better about today. You ain't kiddin' about working out. I swear I feel like a different person after! I wish when I act funky H would just kick me out of the house and tell me to go for a walk, or go to the gym or something. (but, oc, we know that it is NOT his job. WAMMIT!) SO, a big THANKS to Pam for kicking me in the @ss and getting me off of it!!!

I want to surprise h and hang the blinds in the liv. room. yeah, we've been living in a fish bowl for almost 2 1/2 years. I'm trying to bribe my mom to help. I'd do it myself, but they are 2 & they are ~54" long. I think he'd like that he didn't have to do it. ;.)

vb will start again in jan. trying to figure out what else to do in the meantime. join the close gym or one farther away that is open later?(a friend from work goes there-i'll see if she wants company) I will hike again with this club with my uncle. I'm also going to go to a local ski club mtg. on tues. w/or w/o my uncle and/or mom. they do stuff throughout the year. i don't know how much skiing i'll be able to afford to do though. i hope to go a few times.

oh, h said he really wished he could have gone to the hike. ya' know, when i have asked him to hike in the winter, he has said, "brrr..." I ask him to play raquetball (which i've done 2x and suck) he says he's out of shape. i ask to mountain bike on a mtn. bike trail, he says he's out of shape. well, how tf is he supposed to get IN shape if doesn't do it? i ask him to walk the track indoors, he says he doesn't want to pay $5 to walk inside. HELP!!! All I can do is just do it myself or with other people and have patience that someday he will want to put effort into "pleasing" me in these ways so to speak, right?
