Since my return from New York, I saw Michael only twice: last Sunday and then again last night. Sunday we cuddled on the couch and watched "Desperate Housewives," "Brothers & Sisters," and "America's Most Smartest Model." (I know-- "most smartest" is a double-superlative and a big grammatical no-no. The sad thing is that many, many people probably don't get the joke.)Last night I slept over at Michael's (no sex until the 6 month mark, remember that). We watched a couple
Christmas movies and went to bed, joined by his two large dogs, a black lab/Rottweiler mix and a pit bull (the picures are not his actual dogs, but look a lot like them). There was also an electric blanket on. At 4:00 a.m. I had to remove myself from the bed and go to the couch. The heat of the blanket, the dogs, and Michael was just too much! And I'm not a wearer of pj's, so you know it had to be really hot! At 6:00 a.m. Michael discovered that I was missing and came and got me-- he felt so badly for me. he turned off the blanket and distracted the dogs long enough for us to run into bed and into a nice embrace. Eventually they invaded again, of course, but we wouldn't let them in between us. I was so relieved whe
n he suggested that, in the future, he'll keep the dogs gated in the kitchen. This way I didn't have to sound anti-dog by requesting that they not sleep with us.

estion, and he said I shouldn't be so curious about it-- he just wanted to know. Now, is it planning to give me jewelry for our first Christmas? I'd be delighted, and we both know that we are together for the long-term... but it just seemed so soon. (And, no, he wasn't referring to a cock-ring-- I asked just to clarify.)

*sigh* There is so much exciting promise in this post. The relationship seems to be growing at a slow and comfortable pace. Not so fast as to be scary, but not so slowly that one wonders whether anything is happening. I'd want to see my new boyfriend a bit more frequently than this, I think. Is work and/or other responsibility keeping you from getting together more often?
Oh, and I love the comment 'bout the cock ring! Which leads to the question- when will 6 months be up?
Java Doll:
The six-month mark is May 17, if we're being exact. However, I'm supposed to take a cruise to the eastern Caribbean in late April with my dad and some friends, so if Michael joins us, our "first time" may be on the high seas!
The distance from my home into the city is frustrating (anywhere from 40 minutes to and hour and a half, depending on traffic), and we both have dogs at home to tend to. Our attitude is basically that eventually we'll live together, so seeing each other when we can is fine for now. And we spend about and hour on the phone every evening. So if it's only on the weekends, that's fine. And we know we'll spend Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve together.
It will be easier when I start bringing my dog over to Michael's place so we can introduce the three dogs-- they'll be roomies at some point, too!
Hugs,
Doug
Love the idea of doggie roomies. I hope they all get along well. It sounds as if Michael has some re-training to do with his dogs, teaching them some proper bed-sharing manners! We had some trouble with our dog on the bed. Superman eventually built a bedframe that puts the mattress almost 3 feet off the floor. Since our Ruby is a small dog, that effectively eliminated her forays onto the bed. The bed at that height is good for lots of other things, too. ;-)
This is sweet. You've really got a winner.
Try to breathe normally. I know how difficult it can be when you're in the clouds. The good news is that the low oxygen content and huge gasps make you feel nice and doped up.
How nice that he was immediately responsive to the 'dogs in between you in the bed' thing.
Maybe jewelry is in store for you for Xmas. Can you say 'black onyx ring'?
Enjoy!
Mark :-)
