Guess who is pre-menopausal? At the ripe old fart age of 38?
Plus side? I'll stop bleeding out of my snatch a few years early.

Got my flight stuff set up for March. Bought a pillow pal to encourage sleep on the plane. If all else fails, I can chew on IT instead of my fellow travellers.
So. So many people died this year or are walking down that sandy trail to the desert's veil .. but there have been so many births as well. Births of babies - the true legacies we leave - and births of new selves, births of revelations, births of hopes and dreams.
I am witness to the cusp of a blending. On one hand, a very dear friend is watching the long walk of one of her hearts' beholden. On the other hand, another very dear friend is holding his wife's had as she labors to introduce their daughter to the world.
They are both laboring out of love for their loved ones.
I have so many thoughts careening around in my head about this that I cannot seem to get the thoughts in any kind of order. I am thinking in pictures, and dammit, but that technology isn't here yet; I cannot present the pitcograms of my thoughts. It seems so much more clear that way.
Words are so clumsy.
COMMENTS
*hugs* I love your words, it shows the kind of person that fur is hiding.
Why am I nervous? 9 weeks or so until I get to say hey face to face to a friend and I am already nervous? Is it the traveling, the length and the surety of having my crowd issues play up? Is it the completely different culture I worry about? What. The. Hell.
I am already having uncomfortable dreams.
COMMENTS
It could just be excitement and anticipation of doing something you've been wanting to do.
I agree- and that is natural- just think of him as one of us, only with bits...lol
If you are flying I think you should.. take a sharpie marker and right above your who-ha write "If you can read this don't touch me here." And see if it shows up on the scanner. >:]

I never thought being fat was so AWESOME. I think I pull it off nicely.
My guy isn't complaining. ^.^
=) YOU - are absolutely lovely. =)
Congrats!! I bet you look great!
Yer killin' it!!!
Damn it.... we will have to tie weights on you next outside day. Strong wind will blow you off.
:)
BIG ASS CONGRATS TO YOUR SKINNY ASS!
:D
Snostorm og Mandelduft ... I think it might be a murder mystery. But ... I am still working on the foreword. The learning of the Norwegian is kicking my fat colorful ass.
I feel ... amazingly fat today. My clothes don't fit any different than they did three days ago. My weight isn't any different than it was three days ago.
The woman in the mirror looks amazingly different than she did three days ago.
Goddamnit.
*sigh*
While seeing family was absolutely amazing, I am ecstatic to be back in my own space, in my own home, in my own quiet (barring the four teenagers I have until new years' ... how again did I end up with them? I am not da momma, or da step momma or da any kind of 'ting ... well, aunt. Aunt is a good enough reason, eh?) in my own scents and sights and stuffs ...
It's a blessing to be back in my own comfort zone. A serious blessing.
Maybe I'll try to convince he teenagers Dimetapp is not just for colds anymore and have blissful quiet. :P
I like toe socks.
COMMENTS
....and toe socks like you too! :)
I like tuddles.
Tuna and egg salad is fucking amazing. mmmmmmmmmmm with sliced tomatoes. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
COMMENTS
:) nom nom nom. Love it. I like using that olive oil mayo best and add in some dill for zest ;)
I used the olive oil mayo and I use no sugar added sweet relish. =)
Oh you suck....
I want some now.
It's goooooooooooooooood Speranza. :P
So. I got a motherfucker of a deal for Michael's daughter at a pawn shop. I got an Esteban, signature series, acoustic/electric guitar for $70. In excellent shape. Instead of $350. GO ME!
COMMENTS
That is outstanding. I've been thinking of getting my guitar back out and playing more. This was a nudge to me...and boy did you get a deal!
It's probably stolen. ;p
Wow. My dinner, if I've done the math right, consists of FORTY. just 40. Calories. o.O That can't be right ...
It's a BIG ass bowl of yam noodles with broth and spices. I am having trouble finishing the bowl!
I am restless. I have cleaned. I have washed my car. I have changed the litterboxes. I have *oh fuck me* gone grocery shopping. THAT sucked major as. I nearly hurked in the store four times. Fucking crowds. I have gone to the gym. I have gone for a walk. I have put together dinner in the crock pot.
...
I will try making chocolate mice. no ... that is on the books for tomorrow. *sigh*
COMMENTS
Come over and whoop the shit out of my cats while I sleep.
It'll give you something to do, and it'll give them a much needed ass whoopin. =)
My sewing room needs to be put together so I can quit climbing over the filing cabinets to get to my sewing machine. The carpet needs to come up, and I need the old couch that's in there recovered-
NOW you have something to do....lol
Four teenagers. Until New Years. None of which I whelped.
Ima end up in the pen.
SO. Nine books, duplicates of others I have, set aside. Check.
Passport - Check.
Confirmation of tentative dates - check pending.
Do I still have the parka that's now 10 sizes too big? - Check. I'll need that fucker. Brr.
Translating Dictionary - check. Gods help me.
Ability to laugh at myself - check, double check.
Patience with TSA ... well fuck. I'll work on that. Or pack weird dildos in carry-on. Won't embarrass me any.
Three months-ish to getting face time with a good friend ... Check that for sure.
COMMENTS
No Monkey Hat?
Yes, exactly. Monkey Hat and CAKE!
Take wonderful pictures, awesome-sauce woman!
:)
I take SHITTY pictures. I'll leave photography to them with skills.
Fine then- take shitty pictures then. :) Be safe.
"Or pack weird dildos in carry-on."
OMG, please please please PLEASE do this!!!! PLEASE?!!?!?!?
Justin ... I have been threatening this for a few years now.
i may have to start shopping for oddities. Like a dildo bat or something.
I would LOVE to see the face of the TSA agents.......
Diced up some pork, added spices and yam noodles (I love me some Shiritaki noodles!), a bit of Clay's salsa ... and home free. ♥
Yummy. Soup. For. The. Dee.
COMMENTS
Who is Clay and what does his salsa recipe consist of? :)
Does Clay have a Monkey Hat?
No, Clay does NOT have a monkey hat.
Clay is one of my agents and friend - and his salsa consists of tomato, garlic, onion, cilantro, and various hot peppers and some other stuff I've not been able to figure out yet.
It's freaking amazing.
I am making turkey wings for dinner. Side for me will be spinach (mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm) - side for the others will be potatoes diced and bubbles with green beans.
I completely forgot I needed laundry detergent. I forced myself to go to the grocers for the third time this weekend. You know, in the past week, I've been to a grocery store more times than in the past month. And no one has died. Weird.
I miss Richmond.
For some reason, my brother brought up the conversational topic of selling our ranch. I'd love to know what's going on in his head. i love the place, but if his reasoning is sound, I'll sign on the dotted line. His work may be taking him to DC. This needs some looking into, and I'd have to insist we bring on a mineral rights lawyer for the sale. We've still got the gas lease going on up there. I have no desire to see either of us screwed.
I am really not looking forward to work on Monday. I have a gnarly feeling.
COMMENTS
Gnarls are not allowed for Monday, it is in your contract. So if they show up tell them to cease and dissist.
Care to share how you cook bubbles with green beans?
Holy hell, woman. I missed the d and hit s. :P I love me some smart ass.
I was gonna say - How does one dice a bubble... exactly?
>.O
Feel free to move to Richmond. Every morning it's "But where's Aunt Dee??"
:-)
My brother and I redid most of my kitchen today. It went pretty seamlessly. =) I am pleased with the results ... And no, I am not posting pictures. No one needs to know what the inside of my house looks like.
I am, however, going to get some paint this next weekend and paint one wall's worth of cabinets (it's a short wall length - only about 10 feet). I am trying to decide whether I am painting a woodland scene on it, doing it like granite or abstract, or painting autumn colors. Still deciding.
I could really use a thorough rogering .
Quite honestly.
As a note.
COMMENTS
You, into the rough stuff? Nooooo!
:P
I don't think I even remember how, to be truthful.
You just want to break in that new kitchen, don't you?! ;)
... HHAHAHAHAHAHA! That sounds fun ... but the counters are too tall. :P
Dude.
I done good for dinner. I made a POT of chicken veggie stew. In a half hour, two people ate it and swabbed the pot out with my biscuits. o_O
Goddamn. =) That was happiness. I love feeding people. It makes me feel like I've added worth.
My evening is much better now.
COMMENTS
♥
i love feeding people too!
we surely are awesome women ;)
:hugs::
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Chicken and vegie stew!! YUMMO!
Do you have any idea how much I wish I could still drink right now?
Today sucked some serious donkey balls.
I got to work, and as expected the task fairy shat all over my desk. No problem - that's par for the course when I am away for any amount of time.
What REALLY made it awful was the drama and histrionics from someone who has NO business indulging in them, aimed my way, and blaming me because she couldn't pay her bills.
What. The. Fuck? What do I have to do with a goddamn thing?
I manage my money juuuust fine. It's up to you to be a good steward of your shit, cupcake. You take home $3600 a month, have no kids, and, quite frankly dress for shit (so you aren't wearing your paycheck). Where does your money go?
When you can manage to actually work the hours your boss blindly pays you for, then I might actually have enough respect for you to listen to the warbley brown mess coming out of your mouth (i.e. bullshit, honeybun. Pure. Unredeemable. Bullshit.).
COMMENTS
Wish I made that much a month...
Unfortunately even drinking really doesn't help us cope with people's stupidity.
I would kick a bitch in the hoo-haw for you. ♥
My GAWD woman- are we all having that kind of weekend???
But see, that's why I lub joo- cause you talks shit just like I do.
And I personally would shot that incontinent fucker right between the eyes, ifn I was you...lol
I reckon depends wouldn't quite cut it at this point...
*sigh*
COMMENTS
Missing that cat? :P
I bet the ginormous cookies.
Nope, probably home from a broad.....*chuckling*
patpatpatpatIlubsjoopatpatpat
Why do people leave the comment that they've added you? I check to see whether they've actually been that presumptuous. Half andhalf, presumption vs. liars.
*shakes head*
On a different note, I got cute panties today. Green camo with pink stars. ♥
COMMENTS
PICTURES!!!
Preferably on lol
Haha well I added you and your journal. :P I LOVE your journal.
I am totally rocking the big ol' panties today. ^.^ Its laundry day AND I woke up this morning feeling sexy enough to pull them off.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chicken. ♥
That is all.
COMMENTS
:does the chicken dance:
i agree.
If you do the chicken dance in those heels I WILL ask you to marry me. :P
*does the chicken dance backwards and in high heels*
It was MY crock pot chicken, DB... so I damn well better see that dance. lol
1. Landed in Richmond
2. Met Khayman out front
3. Got to the home
4. Cat attempted to eat me
5. Watched kids eat nuggets and try to convince Khay to open the toys pre-dinner completion (no dice)
6. Roman stripped
7. Cat tried to eat me again (I love that fat bastard)
8. Read to the boys ♥
9. Watched multiple attempts by said boys to skirt bed-time (again - no dice)
10. Heard RedQueen on speaker phone (more ♥)
11. Froze my non-existent nuts off
12. Cat tried to eat me again. (yet more ♥)
COMMENTS
1. Landed IN ONE PIECE, and so did the rest of the passengers and crew - this is an important note.
2. I was fashionably late, as usual.
3. 'The home'. Your padded room is riiight this way, ma'am.
4. You can have him but you'll have to fight The Jasons for him.
5. If I don't do that, they won't eat.
6. He's gonna wind up in prison, I swear to God...
7. On second thought, just take him.
8. NOW you understand.
9. Seriously... I told you to bring duct tape for a reason.
10. Love that bitch. END. OF.
11. AAHAHAHAHA!!!! This ain't Tay-haas, mama.
12. PLEASE take him. *snort* Evil bastard.
more ♥
!. Yeah, but did anybody get smacked on the way down?
2. Bish please- it's a wonder ya'll didn't knock eachother down
3. Funny farm would be closer to the truth
4. Isn't that what pussy is for?
5. I'm with Khay- no dindin, no toys. Otherwise they'd starve with them damn things in their hands...
6. With cartoon music or without?
7. Again, under edundant it says see redundant.
8. I hope you used the correct voices. Certainly sounded like it to me over dat damn speaker phone...
9. And yet agian while I was on the phone...
10. I sound like a fucking frog with post nasal drip, and you know it. But at least I sound more southern than Saharia (thanks, Khay...lol)
11. Again, see #4 and #7
12. Ok, thou must get laid-
and for 13?
Ima seriously looking forward to seeing you terrorize that bartender sober, while Khay and I get versnickered.....
Yeh, 13 - that SO needs to happen. =)
YAY!!!!! :D
Red, you better sound more southern than I do! Cripes people born and raised in Seattle- that's gotta be almost as far as you can git from the south and still be in the US!
*blows raspberries at y'all*
THus begins the day. In roughly 10 1/2 hours I'll touch down at RIC and will hug Khayman for me and for I think abut 14 other people. Khay - bring your oxygen, 'cause you're going to be squoze tight.
The day needs to pass quickly.
Side note. It's 38 degrees here and my nonexistent nuts are freezing off.
It's 17 in Richmond. >.0
My fat layers of insulation are gone.
COMMENTS
*sends hugs with you from Bug and I for Khay*
Safe travels!
You be safe and try to stay warm. *Hugs* from me too.
I feel so fucking ineffectual at times. I just ... do.
I really need that magic wand, but see, then I'd have to learn what witches and fairy godmothers struggle to learn ... How to not use the wand.
Meh.
COMMENTS
wait.... What is this about wands and fairy god mothers??
Please give Khay a hug for me- I love you both, and I am sick for the reason for this visit. Tell her I"m thinking about her
Me: "What do you do when Superman dies? When the tallest man in the world falls?"
He: "Grow."
Truth.
I got my Christmas cards off in the mail today (for the Christmas card exchange) - and IN my mail - was the first arrival.
Tzaddi - thank you!
COMMENTS
Me too! I was all like "awww my first holiday card!"
:D
Mine are going out this week... :D
Such is excitement. ♥
I really am looking forward to Oslo.
Fabulous friend. New Tattoo. Completely different culture. Me mangling a language it is proving difficult to get into my head. The only thing that is really still sticking is beer (øl), and I cannot drink. How sæd is that?
Four months cannot pass quickly enough - but the week there will surely pass too quickly.
Møøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøø!
COMMENTS
...on another note, sæd is Norwegian for sperm.
Oslo is the town where Johansen's cottage/house was...the sailor that survived after being attacked by some worshippers of the cult of Cthulhu. But died mysteriously, shortly after returning home.
Sorry, the name caught my attention lol.
... Just like whore is Norwegian for bunnyrabbit?
I do not trust this. :P
I wonder ... Do your parti-colored eyes dance when you laugh? I'd love to see.

Talk about being hormonally challenged- now when we go out drinking, you'll DEFINITELY need a collar- Bri or I will handle the leash...lol
Is your doctor sure? Maybe the recent expansive weight loss has something to do with it...

Yeah, doc is sure.
I had uterine cancer when I was 19, so it's speeded up the process by some years.
Heh. I don't know if you two could handle my leash. Maybe a choke chain. :P
