You think it was easy for me without you?  You thought that every single day wasn’t a god damn marathon of my life without you?”   — Savannah Curtis, Dear John (2010)

* One of my all time favorite books and movies is Dear John.  So not a fan of books made into movies, but Nicholas Sparks’ books are always done SO SO well (case in point- The Notebook, A Walk To Remember….we’re not going to talk about The Last Song, while it was a good book, did they really have to ruin the movie by casting Miley Cyrus in it?!  Gah….).  It’s one of my ‘go to movies’ that I’ll turn on late at night.  I can’t count how many times I’ve seen it.  I was watching it in bed the other night and PC woke up briefly, glancing at the TV and groaned “Again?!”.  Um, yes (haha)….seriously *heart* that movie.

* That whole ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder’ crap is stupid.  Shut the fuck up with that ridiculousness.   No it doesn’t.  It makes the person whom the heart belongs to more frustrated!  Distance is a real bitch sometimes.  Just saying…

* I love the sun.  No. I mean. I REALLY love the sun.  Even if it’s only 19 degrees outside, if it’s sunny it makes all the difference in the world.  For me mentally.  And most especially to the inside temperature of the house. (burrr!!!)

* With PC’s work, Jitz training, our differing sleep schedules (me- nightowl, him- early bird), etc sometimes we don’t get to spend that much time together during the week.  PC worked from home several days this week, which were also snowy and cold.  We bundled under blankets and caught up on recorded TV and movies together.  It was nice.  *happy sigh*

* Ms. Emma’s doing fabulous.  She’s a super dog on three legs, it’s crazy.  She’s scheduled for xrays in two weeks to determine whether the pin can be removed yet or not.

* Ashton got a promising opportunity in another state and left last week.  It makes me both happy and sad.  Happy for him…I want him to be happier, to succeed, he really needs a break.  Sad….because well, duh, I’ll miss him.  And not being able to stop by his office to say hi, our lunches, our occasional overnights….

* I wonder how many people realize my Tuesday Trysts are almost never written in real time.

* Despite the shitty cold temps and weird frost in the early part of the week…logged in 20 miles this week on the trail.  Now if anyone had a left knee and right hip they would be willing to trade me… *oaff*

*****

If you’ve been living under a rock maybe you haven’t heard of the site Dam You Auto Correct…  It’s so SO hilarious.  The other day I was reading a link that PC shared from their site and had mascara running down my face I was crying from laughing so hard.  Too. Fucking. Funny.  The fact that I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for pizzas to be ready for LP’s sleepover…a little less funny (doh) but still!

Anyway, my studmuffin friend of mine and I were texting while he was packing for a trip the other day and I totally had to share….

I am coveting this suit.  I have no idea who makes it or where I could find it….but it’s screaming my name!

LM had some ‘issues’ *ahem*  this week on the bus and has been suspended from riding it for two weeks.  Which means I will be filling in as his personal taxi.  It’s not only a hassle to have to make the 40min round trip drive twice daily, as well as expensive but completely disrupts my daily routine.  And he prefers me to drive him, seems like the person being punished here is me!  *humpf*
(although this does give me an excuse to run my favorite trail system, I guess I’ll be logging in the miles in the next couple weeks…it’s such a great trail I usually run at least 6 miles, if not closer to 8….my hips and knees are gonna be loving me!  haha…)

It seems there has been some bullying going on by some older children.  You have to understand, the child is possibly 40lbs sopping wet.  He’s tall and scrawny.  Adjustable waist jeans were invented for him.  Seriously.  So that has been addressed as well.  I did have to convince PC that having a ‘talk’ with the boys fathers was possibly a bit premature.  If you’ve seen PC, he can be a bit um…intimidating.  So it hasn’t been entirely ruled out.  *wink*

Have a fantabulous weekend!

The name of the game this week was *BREATHE* and try not to be consumed by my anxieties surrounding life changes that might be amidst. 

*sigh*

I woke up Thursday feeling completely and utterly overwhelmed.  There were some things on my plate that fell in categories such as- kept forgetting to take care of, needing to take care of, learned suddenly needed to be handled asap. 

…:::breathe:::…

But.  By Thursday afternoon I had marked everything off my list.

A house/kiddo sitter is lined up for our trip to visit Roxy for her bday/St Paddy’s Bash. -CHECK

Important phone calls had been made.  -CHECK

One set of documents were found, copied and faxed -CHECK

Another set completed and notarized -CHECK

A trip to the post office -CHECK

….:::breathe:::…

There was another category gnawing at me.  The one that was causing those familiar, uncomfortable knots in my stomach, making it difficult to breath and concentrate…  The…  What’s the point?  If -A- were to happen, then what is the point in fucking with -B- and -C- or even -D-  ?!?!?!?!

PC, hearing the anxiety in my voice, the tell-tale rise in my tone…concentrate on the things I can control, he says.  To not allow myself to be overwhelmed by those I can not….   Tells me to look down.  Pull up my sleeve and read the words written on my arm.

BFD, as well, tells me to work on controlling what I can.  And to have faith about the rest.  To run.  (which I will have every day this week…despite my knees and hips screaming at me….there is some sanity to be found with a clear head)

Yes.  True.  They are right.  While I am neurotic and excessively obsessive…I don’t consider myself a control freak.  But the ‘unknowing’…  The flying by the seat of my pants.  *shaking head to clear it* 

I’m not very good at it.

Janie… Hundred Ways To Be Perverse…..

Emmy…Right Turn With Out Signaling…..

My Hot Raven…..

*****

This week…man.  *shaking head*

I spent the first part of it a teensy (major understatement) bit overwhelmed. 

Our 5month old Texas Heeler puppy, Emma, had a fluke accident that resulted in a very serious injury (a sharp spiral fracture in her Tibia, the Fibula was broken as well). 

Requiring very difficult decisions to be made on very short notice.  Decisions and I.  Admittedly I’m not very good at them.  Decisions under pressure?  Even worse.  PC was incredibly sweet at remaining calm and standing behind me, offering support.  Several of my friends were there for me exactly when I needed them to be.  (thank you….)

I hadn’t been getting enough sleep.  I mean I never get much night time sleep but am usually able to compensate with a cat nap and/or one night a week where I just crash and can truly recharge.  I was lacking on the ‘recharging’.  Which meant I was running on empty more so than I’m able to function on (very well at least). 

I was mentally and physically exhausted.  And spent.

Unfortunately= me—> extremely emotional.  Which given the first few previous things…yeah.  Makes sense.

There have been several other stressers that have added to the ‘fun’ this week.

But. 

Emma came out of orthopedic surgery like a champ Wednesday afternoon, so much so they released her to me that night.  She/we have a long road of recovery ahead of us but she’s going to be ok.  ((((Babygirl)))

Our weather has been fabulous.  I’ve been able to run along my favorite trail system all week, getting in 25miles.  I saw a magnificent buck Elk less than 10′ from me on it’s way to get a drink from the river (one of the few times I wished I had my cell on me when running).  And on another day, a calf being born (spring is coming!!!).  When you get out there and stretch your legs, breathing in the fresh air, with the perfect playlist on your iPod….I feel as if I can run forever.  (Unfortunately my knees and hips haven’t been as pleased about this…  *oaff*)

I’ve since gotten a bit of much needed ‘catch up’ rest.  Have found a bit better head space.  Things are never perfect but they can at least be peachier.  And that they are.

*****

Oh. And um….  I’m thinking you might be (reeeaaally) interested in reading something SHE posted. 
*ahem*
Did you click?

Lady Grinning Soul…..

Daisy…..

And the most swoon-worthy in my opinion (yes, it’s quite possibly I’m highly a bit partial)…
Barefoot Dreamer…..

My girl went in for major surgery on Monday and has been recovering in the hospital. There is nothing more I wish then that I could be there with her.  One of the super sucky things about this whole long distance thing. 
*heavy sigh*

*****

1. Do you like your feet to touch when having sex?
Um….I’m not sure I’ve ever given this much thought.  I don’t have an aversion to feet.  Wanna play footsies with me?  *grins*

2. If your love life was a movie what would the title be?
Hmm….trying to think.  Not many movies accurately describe it.  Maybe a combo of Eyes Wide Shut/No Strings Attached/Love and Other Drugs/Cinderella/Enchanted??? 

3. Orgasm eyes open or closed?
CLOSED

4. Have you ever been to a sex club, swinger club or sex party?
Yep.

5. How many years difference is appropriate for having sex with someone…example is it appropriate for a 36 year old to be with a 20 year old?
Hey!  No digs at the over 35 crowd.  I pretty much have to say yes here (lol).  The youngest person I’ve had sex with was 19….  It 13 year difference.  Course I guess my Young Marine friend was 17 years younger than me so…  Honestly.  I only think it’s ‘inappropriate’ if the person is under age.  Beyond that, to each their own.  *shrug*

6. Does your partner know all your favorite positions?
I’m pretty sure

7. What would your porn star name be?
Vixen?  *wink*

8. Have you ever done a body shot?
Yes I have.  I’ve been the one taking the shot as well as the one giving the shot.  Favorite body shot memory ever though was in Vegas with a certain swoon-worthy gal (ahemBFDahem)

9. Kissed someone of the same sex?
Ha….yeah.  That’s pretty much a given, no?

10. Have you ever screamed out the wrong name during the heat of the moment?
Uh no!  But that’s not really a ‘me’ thing anyways…unless your name is God *wicked grins*

11. Are socks on during sex a turn on or off?
OFF!!!!  Unless those socks are thigh highs GET. THEM. OFF.  Huge turn off.  Something about socks on a naked body.  Not sexy at all.

12. How big is too big for penis size?
I’ll let you know if I ever find out.

13. THIS ONE IS FROM THE HUBMAN DO YOU THINK YOUR GRANDPARENTS STILL HAVE SEX?
Doubtful…..they’re all deceased. (doh)

14. Who usually initiates the foreplay in your relationship?
Pretty mutual.  I think I tend to initiate sex though.

15. Do you like to be teased?
Um, yes…. To a degree.  I don’t like to be frustrated though.

16. Do you like your hair pulled?
Mmm….yes. I. do.

17. How do you feel about long distance relationships and can they work?
*sigh*  Yes….they can work.  Although the distance is frustrating as hell.  I’m a girl that wants what she wants when she wants it.

18.How much money would it take to have sex with someone you were not attracted to?
Quite a lot.  I *really* NEED a ‘click’ to have sex with someone.

19. What would your SEX license plate say?
Yzplez

20. Does biting turn you on?
OH God yes…yeeeeeesssssssss
(I think the marks on my neck from the other night are probably a good indicator of this…  *ahem*)

21. Sex in a barn full of cows and horses or a outhouse at the county fair?
Ewww….sex in the barn FOR SURE.  BTDT actually (I grew up on a ranch and live on a farm….).  I don’t even want to USE an outhouse, much less get down and dirty in one!

Alrighty everyone, it’s the weekend.  Be naughty!

Semi colons.

I had a hellova time last weekend.  I wasn’t really ‘me’.  At all.  There are a few days a week, each month, where I am just not myself.  The last couple months have been worse than usual.  The funk is mind numbing yuck, the mood is incredibly depressing…flirty and fun disappear.  I’m overwhelmed.  Stressed.  My anxieties cause me to feel like I’m a drowning, dismal mess.  I guess you know it’s bad when people close to you worry and ask if you are ok. 
Yes…..I’m fine, or at least I will be.

*Readjusting my meds*

Luckily it’s only once a month but it’s enough.  I guess I’m relieved that I don’t have the full fledged *punctuation* to go along with it (the surgery last spring relieved me from at least that awfulness, PC calls it my semi colon….doh)
Gah.

I’m going to give it another month and then go see my doctor if the self-adjustment doesn’t seem to help.  I can handle funks…but feeling that emotionally raw and fucked up consistently, monthly???  Yeah, um….noooo. thank. you.

*****

Our extremely frigid temps (in the double digit negatives) caused the kiddos to have two ‘cold days’ and PC to work from home.  The bummer about that is when they are bouncing off the walls from an insane amount of pent up energy, it’s difficult to send them outside for longer than 5-10mins at a time to try to burn it off.  Taking them along on a ‘food scavenger hunt’ (AKA grocery shopping….it’s all about creativity my friends!  haha) helped get them out of the house for a couple hours at least one day.  Which gave PC a slight break from the fighting/yelling/singing/laughing/dancing/running/craziness….and that was just me, you can imagine the break he needed from the children! *giggle*

That’s all.
Hope everyone has a fabulous, fun filled weekend!

As you might have noticed, I haven’t been mentioning AFF much (ok, at all).  I actually hadn’t been on AFF for quite some time (and then it was just to delete the email build up) and finally this week I disabled my account.  There’s a reason for this, I have no need or desire to continue looking.  I’m good.

My profile was Female for Female (F4F), despite 4 years of searching, I hadn’t given up my search for that *one special girl*.  Then something happened.  Or rather SHE happened.  And Vegas with HER happened (*swoon*).   Pretty much since August I had kind of known I wasn’t searching anymore…  I wish she lived closer (desperately so) but she doesn’t (damnit)…..we both agree though that somehow we’ll make it work.  I’m just not someone who dates and ‘hooks up’ with random people, I never have been.  I’m not capable of it and I don’t enjoy it.  So while the distance is a bitch, I’m much too smitten with her to desire being with any other female.

On a different note.  I did actually meet a guy on AFF that I’ve been seeing regularly for the past 3 months.  Funny thing about having a F4F profile.  It doesn’t stop all guys from responding.  There are two camps of men who will respond to a F4F profile.  The dumbasses who don’t even read your profile and hit you up (usually crudely and distastefully so) and then the ones that actually have a tendency to catch my attention.  They are the particularly outgoing/adventurous ones who have the -“Hell, I’ll give it a shot” attitude (which I kind of admire, bc I think I possess this trait as well).  They notice it’s a F4F profile, and mention it in their initial email.  Along with some coercement (…I know this isn’t a word, add it to my list of made up words) of why I should consider giving them a chance to at least wine and dine me.

Which is how I met Johnny (not his real name- duh, not sure I’ll stick with it- he just happens to look a bit like Johnny from the original Karate Kid movie, according to PC).  I rarely respond to people on AFF.  It takes a lot to wow me with an email so that I feel even remotely like there could be a click.  And I sat on his for a quite awhile before responding.  When I finally did, we immediately clicked.  A bit like how Ashton and I did.  I knew after my initial correspondence with Ashton that there was a *significant* CLICK.  Similar feeling with Johnny.  This was back in October.  PC has met him and approves of him (he actually went out with PC, my sister and I to the Exotic Ball on Halloween).  He’s closer to my age (definitely for the best….the boys I was meeting -Ashton excluded- were killing me with their immaturity and games), is interested in the same type ‘thing/relationship’ I am (not a FB or complete NSA…which I’m mostly incapable of, much less desire), super funny, super cute and we really enjoy our time together.  Bonus all around.

Ashton and I remain in contact and I value our friendship tremendously.  He’s an amazing guy.  But his life is complicated and busy.

I couldn’t write all this without boasting/mentioning/gushing over the most important person in my life….PC.  The last month or so has been the best ever for us.  Some changes were made between us over the summer, not just between us, but personal ones as well.  We have been communicating better, getting along super well and just been over all incredibly balanced.  Which over all makes me super happy.  In a content …:::sigh happily:::… sort of a way.  There have been other stresses going on in our life, completely out of our control and he manages them amazingly well so that I, for the most part, don’t have to.  At the end of the day, he’s the one I come home to, am happy with and enjoy immensely the life we’ve built together.

I had some ‘drama’ come up earlier this week.  Someone has made it their life’s work to stalk my every move be insanely concerned about my life- strangely, oddly, creepily so…  I guess at this point I’m flattered, that I am that titillating that they can’t move on (we’re talking over *five years* here people….).  *shrug*  Whatever, you know?  I just don’t do drama. Common knowledge.  I have had more than my fair share of it in my past and am at the point in my life where I just don’t participate in it.  No thanks.
But my advice is this-

(seriously it’s ok…it actually feels good.  Try it.)

*****

Abercrombie and I have been getting a healthy dosage of each other *grins*.  I’ve gotten over my super clear annoyance of him.  But it is interesting the mind games he likes to play.  Whether he knows he is or not.  I’m on to him though.  So, I’ll play his games.  But I’m one step ahead of him.  Silly boys…tricks are for girls.  (Especially the more uh, ‘mature’ ones)

*wink*

*****

I have a review from Eden Fantasys that is overdue to go up.  Soooon!  It’s not that I’ve been slacking, just so freakin’ busy with bunches of other stuff taking precedence.

*****

Was taken by a bit of a surprise when I received a friend request earlier this week on Facebook…  From an old very close friend I had lost contact with. Also the same guy I had participated in the foursome with way back when (that I have mentioned on several occasions before).  Oh.  Hmm…well.  Sounds more exciting than it actually is. (lol)

This week began with me traveling most of Monday- after an awful bout of insomnia the night before (who drinks all day Sunday and then can’t sleep?!  Gah…). My incredibly sweet girlfriend husband greeted me at the airport (*sigh*  seriously. in. love….) and we headed home.  A home which, much to our chagrin, was with out water. 

Oh.  Fuck me. 

While melting snow on the stove the next morning so the kiddos could wash their faces and hands….  LM excitedly says- “It’s just like camping!”

Um, yeah….   Wheeee!  *groan*
Camping and I?  Not that close of friends (anymore).  There is a reason.  Let me explain.  This one time, at band camp.  *snort* …kidding…  Ok seriously, I am an experienced camper.  I know how to pitch a tent. Start a fire.  Cook whatever food is necessary.  I can even make a damn good cup of coffee on a propane cook stove OR campfire.  Once upon a time I could rock the camping scene.  And loved it.

In addition- My exH and I moved into our first home immediately out of high school.  We worked at a popular ski resort and lived in one of the coldest towns in the state.  In a house with out heat….except for the tiny wood stove that struggled at best to keep anything further than a 5′ radius warm.  We learned to deal with/try to prevent frozen pipes.  And literally froze our asses off for several winters…  Who knew thermals could be considered lingerie!

After a spell in Key West to thaw out, we bought our first house when we were barely twenty.  In the mountains.  In the middle of nowhere.  It was a far cry from our ‘dream home’ but it was on 5 acres and OURS.  It also lacked indoor plumbing and running water.  And our only source of heat was a wood burning stove.  It was ‘glorified camping’.  But we were young and adventurous and on our own and loving it.  It didn’t seem that bad.

At first. 
We lived that way for 6months before we finally had saved up enough money to have a well installed to provide water (for city folk who have no idea what I‘m talking about- many people who live outside of town in the mountains/country don’t have access to city provided water so each household has to have their own inground well dug/installed).  We lived in that house for 3 years before we were able to build our custom ‘dream home’ and move closer to town (closer as in ‘only’ 45min away from the teeny tiny town we lived near, as opposed to 1.5hours).

I have earned my dues.  I am well experienced with chopping and gathering wood, building fires and keeping them going so that your pipes don’t freeze and you don’t freeze your own ass off, getting the most ‘bang for your buck’ when it comes to water usage and water conservation.  Running water in the house (finally) did not mean running water outside.  So I am also well learned on the carrying of buckets upon buckets of water to outdoor livestock.

I know I am a better, stronger, more rounded and diversified person because of these life experiences.  I might be a total girly girl but a rugged, rough and tumble one at that.  I know how to pull my big girl panties on and suck it up when need be.  But so forgive me if the idea of camping makes me cringe.  Do I regret those early prehistoric, glorified camping days?  No way.  Would I want to relive those days?  NO FREAKIN WAY.

Thankfully the problem was pin pointed and a new pump for our well was installed Wednesday morning.  Three days with out water was livable.  I mean, I have skills baby!  But I was overjoyed to enjoy again the simple luxuries such as flushing, showers, laundry, etc that running water provides. (doh)

Over Christmas break PC turned me onto Buffy the Vampire Slayer (there is a bit of irony in this statement, I know….lol). They were having a marathon and we ended up recording a bunch of them, and well then spent the last few weeks catching up on them all. I remember Roxy watching the show way back when but never got into it myself. Anyway, so who knew over ten years later I would love the show. I mean Eliza Duschku was on it! HELLO, how did I miss that?! (ok she’s awful and evil, but STILL!)

FYI:
Victoria’s Secret is having their semi-annual sale right now.  Vicky and I have had a fairly long term love affair, pretty huge fan of hers and am a total sale whore, so this is seriously one of the sales that must be taken advantage of!!!

*****

Alright alright…jetting off to Roxyville tomorrow morning.  She had something nasty accost her eye and has this serious….eye issue.  We were already prepared for heavy gossiping accompanied by drinking, so now I’m also going to help attempt to keep her mind off of that.  Be back Monday or, actually probably Tuesday.

TGIF and enjoy your weekend!
