On the GAL front, I had my hair highlighted yesterday. The girl that does my hair said we should do a weekend trip to the beach. I think I may take her up on it. I'm curious to see what H thinks about the shoe being on the other foot, especially because she is single, albeit a little older than I am.
She's also talked about going out to dinner, etc. That is a hurdle I would have to get over personally. As long as we are both in town and not working, we have dinner as a family every night (even when he is late, we sit with him after we are done). We made an agreement when we got married that there would be no boys' or girls' nights out at the bar. Although he goes to the airport and hangs out with his pals, he is home for dinner and does not go out afterwards or skip dinner to go out with his friends.
I would have to balance GAL with this. I don't think telling him he's got to feed D so I can go to dinner with a friend would go over very well. If it were a business activity, it would be a different story.
