10-23-02. I thought I had posted somthing yesterday, but it seems not to have come through. Any way, busy at work today, with almost nothing accomplished. My home office phone - jst installed monday - went dead on Tuesday, and so far most of the morning has been devoted to trying to mend that. Oh, well. it is fixed, and now I can accomplish something. I need to get a lot done, becaue I have Thursday, Friday and Monday off. They are vacation days I took for our anniversary. Scott has something planned that he has been working on for two months. I cannot make any plans, because they could mess up his. He's had a terrible time keeping whatever it is a secret from me - so he's compensated by telling other people. HIs neice, my mother, my aunt, my brother's girlfriends, the guys in his plant at work, the secretary in the front office at his workplace, and assorted other relatives know. I've had to work rather hard to avoid knowing. But, the surprise will be good.

I've had a hard time finding something for him that wont interfere. I found something, finally. A guided journal with questions to walk throug hte history of your relationship. I need to take some time to fill it out. He'll love it - he's a romantic. Not a closet romantic, a full-blown, roses and candy "my only goal in life is to make you happy" romantic. I am so lucky to have married him. Can't imagine being married to someone who never complimented you or did anyting nice whose feelings you have to keep guessing at.
