Hey, Toots! My husband and I have had a record-breaking week. It's been fun, and it's kept me from brooding about my sister being so sick.

That's funny about your husband when you get set to run an errand. That's exactly what he's doing is marking you. He's putting his scent on you. Planting his seed so, figuratively, you're "impregnated" and not receptive to others. Sounds like a very masculine and sexily primitive way to let the outside world know you belong to him. My husband has been known to do that same thing, particularly if he thinks I'm about to be out associating or interacting with other men who might be intriguing. He's done that before Christmas parties on more than one occasion. Funny!
