Hi TC, it's good to hear from you. I have to say, I'm working HARD to keep my lips zipped, so far, so good, although it's tough, maybe a little easier, but tough.

I still plan to work on some of my goals for myself that I didnt get done last summer, the golf lessons, etc.. So perhaps that will add to the GAL efforts. I'm always feeling like I'm walking a thin, fine line between GAL and H feeling that I don't care about him.

He's said that he didnt feel that I cared about him in the past. I did care, always, and I was heartbroken because I felt like he was shutting me out. I made a concious decision/effort that I was going to live my life for me as best as I could if he was going to shut me out, and so I did, and I was gone a lot doing "my own thing" ...I think that reinforced his feelings that I didnt care, so it's very delicate for me.

However, it was interesting to see that he was a little "snippy" Saturday when I got home later than he did.

O, I never mentioned. On valentines day, H didnt get me flowers. I happened to seem some in the grocery store however, marked way down, so I bought them and took them home and put them in a vase. H didnt say anything for about 2 days, but then he did ask "where'd you get the flowers?" I couldnt resist, I told him "my boyfriend"...he was quiet, looked like he didnt know what to think. I did 'fess up though....being the scrupulously honest person I am


been around awhile!
