thanks Ellie,

I agree. Good dbing sense is more impt than my excitement at having received flowers. They were nice flowers too, from the florist and not just the grocery.

After I thought about it, I decided that waiting til the morning was a good idea. No need for him to know that I got home early from my adventure.

Let him wonder I say.

I also did something "naughty" before I left for Chicago. In the laundry room where he would have to go to let out the dogs, I hung up some of my "spicy" lingerie to dry. I had not actually worn it, but he doesn't know that.

I just have to call him early enough to get here as he lives about 50 minutes away.

thanks for the rapid response,

Pam
