Revelations

Snoopy Happy Dance

I'm going to be getting the house to myself before surgery after all!!!!  Oh joy ;)

As it happens, Taz has to go pick up our eldest from summer theatre camp out-of-state in two weeks and he plans on bringing the other two because one of his many cousins is having a baby shower that weekend.  I was invited too... I had put the invitation one side when it arrived because I wasn't sure if I would not already be indisposed by that point, and then forgot about it.  But now... the party is literally the day before the surgery and I have no wish to be in a house full of loud relatives that day if I can possibly avoid it.

It was rather uncomfortable bringing this up because... as I had mentioned... I had not yet told Taz that this was going to happen... and I was not looking forward to his reaction...

Yes, he really looks like that!! hence the nickname...

Anyway, his mother had called about that weekend and reminded him again about the shower whilst I was sitting across the room folding laundry.  I didn't say anything then as they discussed plans but I knew I couldn't put it off any longer and as soon as he hung up I told him we needed to talk.

It was quick and blunt... I didn't go into a lot of detail and told him it was not a subject for discussion, especially with family.  He didn't get loud but was starting to get righteously indignant, how could I not tell him things like this? and then... I said that such things did not come easily to the tongue when we had not been intimate in over two years.

He was thunderstruck.  Yeah, kind of like that.  He actually stopped in his tracks and asked, "Has it been that long??!"  It was quite evident he had lost track...

So yes, a bit awkward.  And I'm fairly sure that topic's not closed.  But we didn't get into it... we discussed a couple of practical scheduling details then snuggled together on the couch for awhile.

To return to my glee at the top of this post, though, I am thrilled that I will get to scene one more time right before I have to go under the knife... I can't think of anything more fun! and to be able to sift through pics the night before surgery (and perhaps do a post!) will do wonders for my psyche :)

Any guesses as to what I'll be indulging myself with??
