I can hardly contain myself....

I've lost 10 lbs, can't eat, can barely sleep....glad I'm not working on pacemakers or nuclear bomb triggers...

The sitter is set up, the hotel is ready, all I have to do is not die of an heart attack and meet her at the airport....with flowers, of course.

This one is red roses all the way.

Ok, excited is good. Losing wait and not sleeping is bad. Why are you turning yourself into knots? This is supposed to be fun and more importantly, you have to be okay if things don't go as planned or this doesn't turn out the way you want. You are going to get yourself so nervous that you won't be able to relax and be yourself!

(I love the idea of meeting her with red roses btw, and since you are planning a sleep-over weekend, I think it's completely appropriate).

If you read the e-mails and listened to our phone conversations, you'd know why I'm in knots.

Knots is ok....reminds me there is more to me than parenting and work.

The bummer today is I'm not working....carpet install today....so I'll have lots of time to think about her.

Wow, you are a nervous wreck.


Be forwarned...if this appears obvious (the fact that you're again, it seems, putting a LOT of stock in this one person) you'll more than likely scare her off before a romance has a chance to grow.


You can "overwater" a romance. It needs gentle tending. SLOW growth. Eat something. Relax about what you're going to wear and just plan to have fun! Seriously.


Flowers are nice. Just try not to overdo it.


Unless I am missing something. Is this a full bloom romance already and I've missed a few puzzle pieces?

Thanks Becky, yeah I know...I always put too much stock into it.

I sure that this one is mutually felt. A friend mine that I IM with told me "You have it bad....really bad."

After I told her some of the stuff the P had said and written....she responded... "She has it worse"

So I think P and I are on the same page there.

I'm not worried about what I'm wearing...because once we get where we are going...I doubt if we'll be wearing anything for a while.

I'm limiting the flowers to 6 dozen red roses.

Ha! Made you gasp!

1 dozen....really.

I actually did buy 6 dozen roses for my then wife (now IE).

I save that for the REALLY BIG screw ups.

I did get lots of "make-up" sex for that.

Note to self....

I hope you're not disappointed. But sometimes the anticipation is half the fun. :)


How long has it been since you saw her last? I must have missed that in another post.

I may be nothing like P, but if it were me, I'd want the roses after the weekend was over. I realize things are racing forward but if I got the roses right away it might scare me a bit and/or put a bit of pressure on the weekend. If the weekend went great, however, as it probably will for the two of you, I'd love to get roses afterward because it would feel like things were happening in a more logical order. Also, I like to feel that sex is special and cherished and roses after a romantic weekend would say that very clearly.

It's been over 20 years since we last saw each other.
