Willow ,'Empty Places'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Happy Birthday, K-Bug!!!
have you been there at a few different times of day on a few different days of the week?
No, but we’re familiar with the neighborhood, so that’s not too much of a concern of ours.
I’ve decided it’s the negative attitude. We decided we we’re going in there thinking it was going to be the worst place ever, instead of getting excited about it. And as a result, it was a great place.
HAPPY 18th K-BUG!!!!
Not bad. It only took 30 minutes for today to be On The List.
Happy 18th Birthday, K-Bug!
All this talk of snuggling...
...look, these days I have way *too much* snuggling happening. Anybody who wants to take a dog, two cats and a three-year-old off my hands can have 'em, free, no questions asked.
Aimee and I used to snuggle at the start and then during the night drift to our separate corners. Rare were the times I awoke in the morning still snuggling. Less rare were the times one of us would wake up in the middle of the night and shove the other away. "Too hot, fuck off, ARGH!"
Nowadays...Aimee and I don't snuggle because of aforementioned small entities glomming onto me. Seriously, every morning I wake up with a dog over my legs, one cat snuggled against my chest, the other (the big one, natch) laying on top of me and Da Punk plastered against my back.
I'ma get me a hammock, just so I can get some alone sleep-time.
Happy Birthday, K-Bug! (I tried to send an email, but it bounced!)
You'd think this would be fine, because then I can read while he's busy with the tinkering. But then I go to bed WAY before he does (his ADD-induced second wind kicks in around 10:30, right around the time I'm thinking in the general direction of bed), and it makes me feel guilty, like I should be spending Quality Relationship Time with him instead of reading while he tinkers.
This is me and DH, except that I go to bed closer to 9 these days (baby + plague). I go to bed and read and fall asleep, and he stays up til 1 watching movies in the living room.
Happy Birthday, K-Bug!!!
Hippo Birdies, K-Bug!!
So, let me ask -- married folk/people living in sin: does it feel roommate-y sometimes? Or is there a roommate-like aspect? Is this normal?
As multiple folks have mentioned upthread, yes, totally normal. Tom and I tend to go to sleep at the same time, but when we are hanging out in the evening we like to do our own thing. Since we got the wireless, we tend to both be on the couch, me watching tv and him on the laptop, but before that, he'd go up to the office and do that.
It's nice to have space in the house to be able to spread out and have our own spaces. Keeps us sane!
