Out of whack

[Tiramisu]

It's simple: Absence make the heart grow fonder and I want to grow fonder of Harold! Every time I'm around Harold's boss, I'm asking him to send Harold out on a project for a few days at a time. It's an inside joke with us!

Since Harold's an engineer, in the oil business, he used to travel to different offshore oil wells and went hunting, fishing, golfing. He hasn't been on a trip in over five years. Yeah me!

Sandy! You GO Girl!!! Hey! I have started taking short trips with my girlfriends - we are usually gone on a night or two and not too far from home. But getting away a couple of times a year is heavenly!!!

Well Lindsey, you aren't getting much sympathy from us, lol!! We've all been married too long

In a couple of weeks, Jeff needs me to come up to Nacogdoches and babysit his girls for the night. I actually thought about not inviting Harold! But, since Jeff has 80 acres and some deer feeders set up, maybe he'll stay out "inspecting" all that. The guys usually hang outside when we go there and leave us girls to the house. Of course, we end up outside riding horses or 4-wheelers, bugging the MEN.

Lindsey, it's just something that you and Scott are going to have to work out. With you working so late at your job sometimes it's going to be hard. Both of you are going to have to do some compromising it sounds like.

I understand how you want time. My love language is quality time and all summer and fall that's what I want from Glen, for him to spend time with me. Not just time but quality time. Then all winter when he's at the house working on the computer I get so sick of him and I just want him to go away!!! I guess that there's times that it's just too much of a good thing.

These are the ups and downs, I guess. I have heard that if you are 3 times happier as you are unhappy, it's a good marriage.

I have no idea, after 2 divorces! I had a wonderful relationship with my first love, which lasted 6 years. We were kids, but it was lovely. I guess I was 3 times happier than unhappy. Of course, we didn't live together, and we were so young.

I'm really lucky that Scott has been making it up to me! On Tuesday night he took me out for a movie, and tonight he has made reservations SOMEWHERE but won't tell me where... it's someplace neither of us has been before and he wants us to dress up!
