Thank you SO much for the suggestions and for the reminder that I don't have to go for the grandiose gesture! That the small things will do just fine (note that this is not the ONLY time I have gone for the gusto and ignored the small pickings!).
As you both suggested, I need to get more into the "service mind" mentality of doing things every day ...
*************** Had a good night last night (well, except for the Red Sox losing!). I left work right on time and went to the grocery store and liquor store. By the time I picked h up at the train I had started creating a "Fenway Park experience" at home...had sausage, peppers and onions cooking, a few Bud's on ice, some peanuts ready to go and Red/white/blue cookies for dessert.
H was suprised and very appreciative! he was also VERY busy still with schoolwork so I don't think he got to enjoy the game as much as he would have liked.
QT: Check
AOS: See above for the "big bang". I also cleaned up the kitchen, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, brought dinner up to h, etc.
WOA: Not sure...positive thoughts about school?
PT: Snuggling on couch

Getting my hair cut tonight so h will be picking up dinner. What do they eat in NY? We need to go "anti red sox food" to negate the bad vibes from last night...I think we're thinking Pizza!
