Thanks Tori,

FY, did you get the V-day card yet?


Not yet. Almost pulled the trigger on this one, because it truly is appropriate!

Front: I’m not sick of you yet

Inside: Happy Valentine’s day!

But then I decided it was a just a tad too blunt/cold. Haha
I’ll look some more, or I’ll write one up. Either way I’ll post how V-day goes.

My guess is that if your W is not bothered by PMS, then she'll be okay through menopause. That's good news.


I hope you’re right, we can use some good news.

What 180's have you done lately?


I’m not jumping around trying different 180’s, just staying the course, being the H that only a fool would leave. Keeping up the PMA, showing confidence and contentment. Feeling stronger every week, but still fall into the funk at times, like we all do.

Funny stuff:

On Grammy night wife and I watched the awards. This is a big change for her, as music was never her thing until this crises hit. Now she’s an expert on all the latest bands/artists. (well, compared to me) In the beginning of the show, I thought I was being funny when I said, Hey, is that Bull Dog? (knowing full well it probably wasn’t) She chided me with a "Nooo", and a big roll of the eyes, which I later interpreted as “Dad, how can you be so <insert up to date word for square>”. Lol

She also nodded approvingly when they quoted whoever it was that said "If you're following the rules, you're missing all the fun" My wife is a Rebel!

Goodness journal:

For X-mas I had bought W an electric fireplace which she has refused to use. The old W would have loved it. This past weekend she cleaned and rearranged the living room where it was sitting. She repositioned the fireplace and set a fancy urn on top which contains the remains of our former pets. This was the first time she even touched the thing. An acknowledgment of sorts, I thought, considering that several months ago she was talking about setting up a place of her own.

Then, I received this email yesterday:

401(k) Catch up. I wonder if the financial guy thinks this is a good idea or not? We wouldn't have to do the whole amount.

She used the word “we” when discussing the future. So, unless she’s planning on saving money for when she meets her new Prince Charming, I figured this was a good sign. Besides, even if I do die in celibacy, at least I won’t have to be in poverty too. lol


M: A really long time.
Crisis: 5 years.
She's still worth it.
