A good weekend, low-key, just chillaxing, puttering about the yard, garden, fixing/overhauling bikes...but good nonetheless. smile So nice to have time with just my sons and I. smile

When W came home from work, she noticed my haircut immediately and said she liked it and that it looked good, AND, didn't give any grief over spending money... yay! smile
First time in a LONG time she has offered an enthusiastic compliment.

I wasn't into self-administered a clipper buzz cut this time, and W still isn't "up to" cutting my hair like she used to yet.

She also spent quite a bit of time telling me all about her day, which I am enjoying a lot...it's nice, and allows me opportunity to show T^2 v.2 and be her biggest fan!

She worked pretty much full time last week, and she said it may be a bit much for her, and also the kids right now....

Oh, and when she forgot her lunch I took it up to her at work, and I actually got in a compliment delivered somewhere between how you'd say it for your co-worker or sibling, and how you would for your lover...I got a nice reaction... smile

She told me about her IC plans, and has been going through her clothes and such, donating a ton (and she sort of made sure I saw the receipt I think)...I did see some things that I am GLAD are gone (a lot of replay clothes, shoes, etc), but then some things that I liked...but she's always been her own woman there, and of course I said nothing either way... smile
Of course I want to analyze it, figure out the secret "woman" symbol/meaning of it, since I am a simple kind of guy with regards to wardrobe, it's like a foreign language to me.

In all, that chaotic "mlc-energy" that has been permeating the house for the last 2+ years feels diminished right now. I am liking the "look" on her face, more consistently not her "mlc faces"...more the "real" her, yet some changes.

Looks like I used up my quota of smiley faces...
