Yes, for sure.

Change takes time L4, please don't get discouraged if the next time something comes up, doesn't seem to go as well.

It seems like both of you and Mr. L4 are revealing new people.

How great is that!

hug hug ...... one for each of you. smile

This morning my H said that my stomach looks "flatter". I think that was a compliment.

I had some last minute shopping. Something red and saucy caught my eye. I indulged and bought it and other red, saucy under-thingies.

Then, inspired by ST, I went out of my way, stopped at a store that wasn't on the agenda, and purchased other "stuff".

I'm hoping to temp H, and he'll want to unwrap me for Christmas. loveheart

While I'm on the topic of under-thingies, Ladies this next is for your eyes only. Consider it a public service announcement.

I hate panty-lines. Can't stand them and started wearing very uncomfortable thongs in the name of vanity over a decade ago. The moment I could take them off, I would.

Shortly after D-day, I decided that as part of meeting H's EN for PA, I should try to be sexy -- if even just a bit -- every day. So making thongs part of my everyday wear was one answer. Now whether I'm in sweats or a ballgown (because I attend so many formal functions), I always have something on that I know H likes.

For those of you who want to wear this piece of clothing but you can't stand how they feel...

I have found THE most comfortable thongs, ever. E-V-E-R. I'm sharing because we do many things to look good and often these things are not the most comfortable, especially for a whole day. (I'm also sharing because we seem to share anything here.) The answer, my friends, is at Target. The brand is Gilligan & O'Malley and the specific kind is the Modal Thong. They're seemless and come in a variety of colors and styles. I have thrown away all but two of what I used to have and otherwise now own a drawer-full of this brand.

Thus ends my public service announcement.

I hope everyone is doing well. I have an easy day tomorrow of hanging with the kids and doing some cooking for Christmas Eve while H works. Maybe I'll stop by and check on everyone here too since I don't have time now.

Take care.

L4,

Count me as strange, but....

I tell my wife how I think women's clothing looks best.

On the floor. Next to the bed.

Sometimes I get the back of the fist thumping my chest.

Sometimes....I don't. blush grin

Kinda like the lottery -- can't win if you don't play!

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

-- Luke 2:8-14


My prayer is that every one of you experiences the joy, peace, and love of our Lord Jesus Christ, today and every day.

Merry Christmas and God bless.

Love,

-L4

Oh, my! Sleigh rides and red noses and wardrobes on the floor... Where is my husband and what can I do to occupy the kids?!

That is great news, Queenie. And yes, ST, you're welcome to join us too.

I have a question for you smart people... What are the differences/similarities among an ultimatum, a boundary, and a condition?
