Today's horoscopes:
1 - "Your partner may return from a journey today, Taurus, and a deep conversation could follow. Your friend will share stories of the trip, which could lead to talk about the relationship's future. Nothing is apt to be decided. The discussion is more likely to focus on generalities than specifics. You will gain a stronger understanding of your partner and how things could shape up."
2 - "It's possible that you'll reconnect with someone, or spend some time reminiscing about the past with a friend or family member today, Taurus. Maybe the truth is finally being told about something that's been kept secret for a long time. At any rate these reflections on the past are likely to be inspiring, and move you toward positive actions you can take in the future."
Last night after I lay down to watch Harry Potter, my phone said "Bazinga." I knew that meant I was getting a Google Talk message from either my sister or Ryan, the only two people who contact me regularly with Google Talk (my text messages say "That's what she said" : ) Ryan had written "I took something from the house can you figure out what?" I started to walk around looking and wrote back "Do I get a prize if I guess right?" But I honestly couldn't figure out what he was talking about. 5 or so minutes later I wrote "Ok I give. What'd you take?" Nothing. 10 minutes after that, I wrote "Oh you suck. You're not going to tell me?" Still nothing. So I settled back on the couch to watch some more Harry Potter.
It reminded me of a night back in October. On my way home from dropping off the boys, I stopped at AC Moore to find a picture frame for the bathroom. Ryan's mother, Phoebe, had brought back three wooden pictures to hang in our hall bathroom. Let me repeat that. SHE had specifically bought these pictures to put in OUR hall bathroom. When she came up for a visit and saw that they hadn't been hung yet, SHE GOT A HAMMER AND NAILS AND HUNG THEM UP HERSELF. (See why I have a hard time with this woman?) The pictures didn't work. They were too small for the wall. They were the wrong colors. So after she left, we moved them to the hallway, and I set out to find a better picture. I found the perfect picture but still needed a frame. I found one at AC Moore, but when I called Ryan to ask his advice, he didn't answer. I waited about 5 minutes or so and called again. Nothing.
There have been times when I've known Ryan was dodging my calls, and it would infuriate me to no end. I'd overreact. I'd keep calling until he turned his phone off. I'd get mad when he would finally call back. That night in AC Moore, I didn't. I told Nate "oh well, your daddy's gone off somewhere and forgotten his phone." I got the frame and was headed to checkout when he called back. He said he'd gone to Walmart with Nick and forgotten his phone. I said "Yeah, I figured." He said "doesn't it feel good not to be worried about me when I don't answer the phone?" It did.
Last night, I had the same reaction. "Oh well, maybe Ryan fell asleep before he saw my messages. No worries." About 30 minutes later, he wrote back "Didn't hear your replies. Hehe take your time. I might throw some hints your way.... :)" I wrote back "You completely and totally suck :p"
I haven't heard from him yet this morning. I'm going to go read my dare then get started on "The English Patient". It's due back at the library soon. I feel really positive! I truly think I'm going the direction God wants me to go : )
Today's dare: "Think of a specific way you'd like to greet your spouse today. Do it with a smile and with enthusiasm. Then determine to change your greeting to reflect your love for them."
Results:
"When and where did you choose to do your special greeting? How will you change your greeting from this point on?"
Update from earlier...
I haven't actually talked to Ryan today and probably won't. But when I think back, I have to say, I've been doing this the last couple times Ryan's come over. I've been super-sweet. I've been kind. I haven't touched him, but I can't really yet, can I? I've kept my voice calm and happy. I've tried to show I love him every time he's come over. I think I'm succeeding.
And I didn't start on "The English Patient." Instead, I got sucked into a "Pretty Little Liars" marathon. That's partly why this blog is somewhat shorter today : )
I finally wrote him a message. I asked if it was the laptop, was that what he took. He answered back "hehe yeah but nope." I asked him for a hint. He wrote "tiny bow." I spent the next 30 minutes walking around the house trying to figure out what he meant. I finally wrote back and and told him I had no clue. He wrote "tiny ribbon made tiny bow. No more hints today :)".
I seriously have no freaking clue what he took. I can't find any missing stuffed animals. The boys don't have tiny bows on any of their clothes or shoes or toys so I don't think whatever this thing is belongs to the boys. I can't imagine that Ryan has anything with tiny bows on it, so it has to be mine, right? But I can't figure it out! I'm at a complete loss.
But this is fun : )
