DH sadly does not always do things my way, but he is cute and that seems to make up for it.

Vacation. One week. I can make it.

Yes. You. Can.

My DH has just put the kibosh on our long weekend together. We were spending a few extra days in a bed & breakfast after his triathlon, and he's now decided he really has to be back for a meeting. Pfft. I've been working 6 and 7 day weeks, so I was really looking forward to being far enough away from the office that I couldn't consider spending a few hours here getting some work done.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Being single and not having children does not equate slacking or failure. (Sorry, just one of my buttons.)

I know, slacking was probably the wrong word. Maybe it's just that everyone else has taken the next step, whatever it ends up being, and I haven't just yet.

On the other hand, if anything is a sign from the Universe, this is probably it. This will make me get off my ass!

Our wings are not tired.

but just the sharing of space. I became SO intolerant of that once I hit 28-29. That might be me though.

I didn't have any sharing space issues with the DH's, but the kids brought out this aspect for me. They break my stuff!!! It is no doubt wrongheaded of me to let it bug so much, but it makes me nuts when my stuff gets wrecked. Hey, I don't trash their toys.

{{Heather and Mr. Heather and family}} May he find all well and return home soon reassured.

Heh, I was about to post "Yes - yes you can." but Sparky beat me to it.

Where are you heading for vacation (if I'm not being nosey)? I think you said, but I'm memfaulting.

Laura has a very good point.

Health and heart~ma to Mr. H's grandmother and Heather's family in general.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Thanks for the ~ma. I think I can see why Mr. H is a little freaked even though his parents said things were fine. I got an e-mail from my father-in-law explaining what happened. His mother got a rash and instead of going to the doctor about it, she decided it was caused by her blood pressure medication so she quit taking it. When she felt chest pains and nausea, she decided it was because she ate a waffle and had a reaction to the wheat.

I'm sure he feels like he needs to see what's going on for himself since the woman isn't being honest with herself or her family. (Which isn't a judgement. A lot of people do that with respect to their health).
