I've finally stepped up the GAL like I should have a long time ago.
Friday I could feel that things were getting stagnant. Just around each other too much. Nothing bad just kinda boring. So I took D to the movies.
Saturday morning we were talking about what we were going to do for the weekend. We discussed going to the lake to watch the firworks (our town does them early). But neither of us were to thrilled about it.
So when I ask her if she wants to go to the lake and watch fireworks with me she says "I would like to go with you but I really want to go do some girl stuff, buy bra's and stuff and go up the hill to check on the house" I say great, why don't you do that. She suggests I go to the coast and get some reading done. I tell her that if I was going to the coast I'd rather take her.
I then go and call a friend and within minutes arrange a ski trip. He has a cabin on this lake near Napa. Big party lake. I'm on the phone within within earshot and I say "I'm sure we can find someone to hold a flag for us" refferring to the fact that we'll need a third person in the boat and there are just the two of us.
I'm packed and out the door in under 20 minutes. Funny, she unpacked and repacked my bags for me.
There was what I percieved as an instant reaction. She came to me and was affectionate.
When I got back she subtly inquired about whether or not we had a flag holder.
So yes, I think I have found the secret. Even though I've been told it numerous times.
