What can I say?? I can be, um, a little too open with personal information sometimes?
HI all! Thanks for your posts!
Sage...interesting...actually the only "gift-like" things CJ has done a few times this year is to pick up a small bouquet of flowers from the grocery story for me (after a "talk" or such).
I DO make a fuss, thank him, arrange them just so....smell them often, comment on their beauty.
Other than that, he really doesn't get stuff for me unless it's on a list I give him...toiletries and such.
I figured out another element to my mood yesterday. CJ's been "working on" our out doors icicle lights for a few weeks now. I asked him a week ago if I could turn them on (since it's Dec and there's snow), but there are some burned out ones....
Driving home last night, all the houses around were lit up, decorated, not ours.
As for the interior decorations...the whole thing is CJ's deal...he takes the stuff out, packs it all carefully away, has the lighting all mapped out....I can't really do anything with it until he brings the stuff up (especially the HEAVY tree).
So I'm struggling with just letting it go...letting HIM bring this up, take initiative, vs saying something.
My mom mentioned a few weeks ago that she's using a little fake predecorated tree this year vs the full sized one...she asked if we were putting up a tree this year...I said I don't know and looked at CJ...he said "yes we are"...Time will tell.
