Where's Spring?

We're already into May and it's so chilly outside!! But flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and the sun has been known to shine from time to time. But spring really is dragging its feet. I wonder if this means it'll be a mild summer or we're going to plunge head-long into a hot summer, skipping those nice 60-70 degree days? Who can say....

It's never safe to assume, but it's working right now. I'm assuming that Jim and I are back together the way we were, and not 'weening' ourselves off each other. The way the last couple of evenings have been, if we are still 'weening' we're not doing a very good job. He hasn't said anything in the last week in regards to the weening.
N reminded me that it feels like nothing's changed between us because we've been together for so long(4 yrs next Monday) it's inevitably going to feel like nothing's changed. I told her though, that I'm noticing a pattern. Whenever Jim gets bummed and depressed he gets down on himself and tells me I deserve better and would be better off without him. And without a doubt, this recent bout with financial dire straights was awfully heavy/depressing. Now that I think about it... when he gets upset he pitches things. And I don't mean garbage. I mean momentos, pictures, CD's, tools, etc. Or go through his computer and delete all sorts of files, bookmarks, etc. ANYway.... We are both in much better spirits now.

And I'm getting used to being a woman. I'm wearing make-up more often, and putting more care into my wardrobe. I've also got my sights on culinary acheivements. I found a Chicken Thai Curry recipe I can't wait to try. As well as a Jambalaya recipe. And many others. I've discovered Cumin and I can't believe I've been living without it for this long.

I've got a generous stock-pile of York Peppermint patties... It's so sweet of Jim when he buys me a bag of mini patties or one of the giant patties. And not because he got me candy. But because he remembers how much I love them.

I think I'll just crawl into my jammies with a couple York patties and an International Coffee. Hmm yes. With Amaretto Creamer. Hmmm... sounds good.

Laters!
