And the gifts have been given....if you were choosing the ideal gift for yourself, what would it be? What would make you swoon?

I thought you thought the exact opposite of Izzy. What gave you the red flag? Don't you think that you might already have given him the green flag, by speaking to the Pastor and everything? Are you still interested and just cautious or are you really thinking of looking somewhere else. It's good to have a kids heart sometimes, as long as he is grown up enough otherwise. It seems like a quick change of heart to suddenly come up with this. I mean, I have that happen to me overnight with some of the wierdest things men do and suddenly from thinking they are the man, I suddenly think they are the "dud". Just curious what made the change............

I don't usually require much in the way of actual gifts. (I was pleased with my stuffed puppy and wonderful cards and snuggles with my man. No sex. WAY too sick and tired lately. Even for me!)


BUT.... if I could put some great idea into my hubbies mind to do something really romantic and wonderful, I'd LOVE a surprise trip to a local bed and breakfast. A great one, where we had an actual suite. And he'd have a bath run in the juzzuzi (no bubbles please!) and fresh flowers spread about, and a bottle of champagne (because i'd definitely NOT be pregnant, and would be ready and rarin to go) and

That does sound great Beck...a weekend away. I'd like that even without a guy, to be honest.


I want a change of scenery. The weather is nice here today and it's made me think, van full of mexicans, ROAD TRIP! LOL

That sounds terrific, except I'd make exactly what you said and turn it into a Spa. So I could have the all around body treatment of face, nails, massage and loadsssssssssssss of pampering. It's been a rough winter over here and my skin feels awful. As if it needs to shed.

I'm looking all the time, I have been "looking" at izzy. Pastor hasn't talked to him about what I've said...he doesn't betray confidences and I told him I didn't need him to mention it.


I think pretty much the same about izzy as I did before. He's fun, he's sweet, he's nice to everyone and he's cute as hell. He's also coming off a broken heart (I think I mentioned that) and he's not ready for a relationship yet...that's my opinion anyway. I'm sure we could still date, but it's not what I'm looking for. We're still good friends and will have fun together in the group. It's like one big date anyway. :)


So, it's not a red flag really. I checked him out and he's not exactly what I want for myself.

I can't really think what my ideal "gift" would be. If I was seeing someone for awhile, what would it be? Something that showed he wanted me, only. Maybe something with both our names on it. Or a framed picture of the two of us. Something sentimental...something that belonged to his family...a keepsake maybe.


Hmmm, fun to think about.

Yeah, that would be nice. But I reallllly want a good time with my DH. (and I don't think he'd enjoy side by side facials and manicures. LOL) We haven't had that in a long time. NOW, if I could get the Valentines and then the POST Valentines, I'd throw the spa day on the post valentines. ;)

Sorry I posted wrong. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. It's that gut feeling.

As for what I want. Well, I did get a couple of Valentines wishes and a letter from someone I have a slight mini crush on, but nothing major and not worth mentioning. He did think of me even though one of his family members is dying and he wrote to apologize that he didn't send me anything. I really didn't expect it, even tho that was the only person I wanted a Valentine wish. I sent out about 40 V cards to all my soldiers deployed, from their pen pal. I figured it was worth more to give then to receive.
Anyway, the spa thing. Well, that would just be me, myself and I. LOL. No one else, just a pamper "Catherine" weekend.

Yeah, a couple waxing. That would get his attention. LOL, but probably not romantically. LOL. Sorry, sometimes I get really wicked.
