Astute observations, all! Oh, I'm painfully aware of girlspeak. I put that right up there with, "does this dress make me look fat?" In the past, I always managed to surprise her, I just thought in light of the recent circumstances, would she misinterpret any gift as she has been misinterpreting many of my other actions. She's all about the "don't pressure me" phase. Not that I see acknowledging a birthday as pressure. Secondly, I'm not fatalistic...all of my misgivings about the BIL wedding were prior to my enlightenment through DB'ing. You couldn't keep me away now....I need a good party. After seeing the Wedding Crashers, is it appropriate to crash a wedding you're already in? We'll be wearing Kilts and i've been working my legs extra hard in the gym to turn my chicken legs into beef sticks. Which reminds me, just what does one wear under a kilt?!? Plus, my W doesn't like to dance at all (we didn't even dance together at our own wedding), but I intend to "shake my groove thang". It's been a few years since I've hit a dance floor, but I'm not too shy to "bust a'move". She knows this as she has seen me at other weddings and office parties, but in the past I've refused a lot of invitations to dance so that she wouldn't have to sit alone. Not this time! Good thought on the goals as well. I'll just keep DB'ing and GAL and maybe, just maybe, she'll realize I'm sincere and not just putting on an act and then one of her goals will be to make one of my goals happen. thanks again, NYS!
