Looking backward...but only to move forward

H2H -- ALL my old threads? Goodness...I guess you had a lot of time on your hands! It's amazing to me how much awesome advice I've gotten in the last 2 years! Hooray for the BB!!

Had a great night last night...h asked me if I wanted to go out for drinks/food and I said yes, of course. when I got home, he was totally excited to see me and kept saying "I'm so excited to go on a date with you!" -- we had a great time, good food, lots of great conversation. He talked about school, etc, but also did an awesome job of listening to me, asking questions, etc. The giant Sidecar did me in pretty early, though, and I fell semi-asleep on the couch after we got home! H and I went to be pretty early

One thing that was pretty interesting...I went to vote on my way to work yesterday AM. I fell in the parking lot and ripped my pants so after I voted, I needed to go home and change. H was home and I called him on the way to let him know I was coming home. I didn't want to surprise him (particularly in light of how he's made comments in the past about whether or not I was "sneaking up on him") -- anyway, last night he said "I really appreciate your thoughtfulness towards me but please know that you don't have to call in advance of coming home..." -- I dunno, I just like that I was going out of my way to please him and he's letting me know that he notes the effort, appreciates it but doesn't NEED it to feel safe.

h is going to be super, duper busy for the rest of the week and weekend! It's SO WEIRD to be the unbusy one for a change!!!
