Hi,

One of the things I love about this forum is book recommendations. Think I'll pick up that book "Not Just Friends" this weekend.

OK I'm going to come clean with you guys about something I did last weekend when H was away. When he was out on his motorcycle trip, I took the "secret cell phone charger" out of his car and cut some of the wires thinking that would stall some communications with OW. So last night, S20 was back in town and I needed to move H's truck so son could get out. I looked in his center console and wouldn't you know it.....McGyver had the secret cell phone charger all taped up with electrical tape. I guess I didn't do a very good job. Then last year....we were at a friend's house for a backyard fire and cocktails, we drove separately, and I left early.....saw that the secret cell phone charger was actually plugged into his console.... I grabbed it, drove a bit out of the way....and launched it out the window. Made me feel so good! But he then obviously bought a new one.

So...my acts of sabotage were ridiculous, but made me feel good for a few seconds anyway.

I told H this a.m. that I wanted to get out of town this weekend. It's the start of summer! I don't want to deal with his "Oh....I'm just going on a bike ride" stuff tomorrow morning....as usual....and "Oh....I want to ride my motorcycle....won't be long...be back soon."

He said...."you should get away". Uh huh. Right.
I said...."we should ALL get away". So then, he warmed up to the idea of a little overnight trip tomorrow....destination unknown at this point. But not until after he "rides his bike". I told him that we could totally work the bike ride into our little mini-vaca. Then he came up with another excuse to ride in a.m.

Hope you all have a nice holiday weekend.

xo, A.
