I think we're cross posting here, Ellie. But I love your spirit, you sure can pull me up!!!! merchandizing...yep...presentation is important. hmmmm. I am starting to think more along those lines, I turned on the oil diffuser and candle warmer before I left the house this morning, so it should smell nice when we get home. I put a candle H really likes on the warmer.

Gotta remember to touch up my make up.

I've been thinking about your comment about making my life exciting so he wont' want to miss it. mulling around some ways to spice things up a little more. I had to back off a little in the sex life department because he was in his "insulted because you think all I'm interested in is sex" phase...but I'm thinking he's past that now, especially evidenced by his comment this morning.

so, I'm thinking i'm going to work on being more "girlish"...finger nails, new undies, smelling good, etc., and, what to do differently....

hmmmmm....the tanner; we were watching tv the other night and saw a jazz cd adevertised, talked about it as a "mood setter"...H watched closely, actually commented "interesting", so theres another thought.

I have a catalog that has a video tape on exotic dancing in it; maybe I'll order that....plus I saw several others. i don't have a clue about such things, I dont' know how much of a clue H has, but I bet I might be able to surprise him.

ummmm, hmmmm, I could order some lingerie and have it sent to his out of town office. THAT would surprise him. actually, I could order him some kind of gift and have it sent to his out of town office. maybe I could find a place that delivers lunch that he would like and have that sent to him as a surprise....I dunno, is this too much???????? obviously pursueing, but I've never tried any of those things, and maybe now is the time. I can always not do it again if I get a bad response.

oh, I've been going to "kidnap" him forever and havent. well, there is this really cool redone homestead way out in the country about an hour from us. It was written up in the paper. I think H would like it, it looks abosolutely gorgeous, with walking trails through the woods. maybe I will make a reservation for the 2 of us....S is going to stay w/D soon for a month, and have him drive there after church, or even on a Friday. I could pack a backpack with new jeans/short/shirt/undies toiletries for him, so he wouldnt suspect anything. I guess I'd have to be prepared to have that go awry. of course I could always just go by myself, not an entirely bad thought either.
too much??????????????????? something to try????????????? Just last week he was talking about us needing to do fun things together, so if he's not gone back to her, maybe this would start the ball rolling....????????????

hmmmmm, do they make fake tatoos a person could put on an unexpected body part, just for a fun little shock of surprise????? where would i get them??????

I gave him a copy of "The Prophet" that I bought 6 months ago and hadnt given him. he liked it, mentioned yesterday he had read some of it. I was surprised he isnt familiar with it, but he'd never even heard of it. It's one of my favorites. I've always liked Ogden Nash's poetry, maybe I could surprise H with some of that, I bet he'd like it and isnt familiar with that either. I guess it's just sharing a tiny bit of a side of me he doesnt know........


been around awhile!
