TMI Tuesday!!

It's TMI Tuesday! Click the "I kiss and tell" icon to come play with us!!

1. Toilet paper: over, under, or what the hell are you talking about?

Over. If you do it any other way, you are doing it wrong.

2. Toilet when you are done: everything up, seat down but lid up, everything down?

Everything down and FLUSHED. My baby BIL doesn't flush (age 32, unemployed, lives with his sister, and, hold onto your hats ladies, he's single- email me if you want more info).

3. When was the last time you kissed someone not your significant other? [I am talking about a kiss with some gusto not just a little hello or goodbye peck]

Friday night.

4. Would you rather have you significant other (this can be a hypothetical SO) have sex with someone else or fall in love with someone else? [You have to pick one.]

Sex, definitely. I can forgive a physical indiscretion, but falling in love with someone else would be horribly painful and probably unforgivable.

5. If you had $1,000,000 to give away, how would you divide it up? Who and how much?

Half to my parents, then divided equally amongst my church, my pet volunteer project, the local Humane Society, Planned Parenthood, the American Red Cross, and the Salvation Army.

Bonus (as in optional): Tell us something that very few people know about you.

As a member of the Governor's Honor Guard on Mackinac Island, I had tea at the Governor's Summer Mansion with Michigan's then-First Lady Helen Milliken, in the gazebo that was featured in the film Somewhere in Time. The filmmakers donated it to the State of Michigan after the movie was shot on Mackinac Island.

1. Two refreshing drinks: Mojitos and Diet Coke
   
2. Two places that are always cool (home, mall, work, etc.): the local indoor park for kids (inflatables, ball pits, etc.) and my mom's house (AC and a pool and a special fridge just for cold soda- can't beat that!)
   
3. Two ways you keep cool: Going braless and drinking Diet Coke
   
4. Two items of clothing/shoes that are a must (tank tops, shorts, etc.): My NAOT sandals (two pair) and shorts
   
5. Two places you’d go on vacation to get away from the heat: Nova Scotia (I've never been, but it's sounds like Heaven) and Michigan's Upper Peninsula (more gorgeous than you could ever believe)
   

TMI Tuesday questions aren't up (TPT can't access Blogger from work and it's her week), so I'm trying something different. It's that or original thought and we wouldn't want that now, would we?

Mute Monday - Dog Days

What is Mute Monday? See Artful Sub for an explanation and join us!!





This is not my late dog Cubby, but looks a lot like him. My Cubby died 5 years ago at age 13. He had diabetes, Cushing's Disease (adrenal, not pituitary), hypothyroidism, allergies, and ear problems. He got insulin shots 2x daily, chemo drugs 2x a week, and other meds every day. He was the sweetest, most loving little guy ever. I miss him dearly.

Nephew dog Bruno enjoys the cottage too.





I know Bob is a cat. You know Bob is a cat. Bob, on the other paw, has no idea she is a cat. She plays fetch, comes when you call her, and growls at the children. An honorary dog today.
(She has a bobbed tail, that's why she is Bob. And the Humane Society adopted her out as a boy and she already had her name when the vet said, uh, no, this is a girl.)

Much, MUCH Better . . .

Wow.

Just . . . wow.

Did I mention "wow"?

Oh my, I do love coming home like this: still sweaty . . . legs still a little shaky . . . relaxed and satisfied.

That'll teach Spousehole to go to the cottage without me.

Thing are Much Better Now

We talked and things are better. Still not sure what happened but we're okay, I guess. Kids are having fun, I'm getting some work done around the house. I got to watch a movie I've been trying to watch for a while (dense, can't just watch it half-assed) and have enjoyed eating whatever I want without concern for anyone else's preferences or dietary restrictions.

I have the car back, so I have wheels again! And the garage didn't charge us because they said we've given them so much business lately they feel like they owe us one. How's that for bizarre? Lol - I think we've made several major payments on the owner's boat, what with the POS, the POC, and MommyVan. If they worked on motorcycles they'd have all our business!! And our money.

Spousehole and I will have to talk some more when he comes home, but he feels bad about being an asshole and said so. That's amazing progress for him. He also told me he loved me on the phone and that's also amazing progress, since I didn't say it first.

Oh Good Lord . . .

I had to go and bitch to my mom about Spousehole ditching me to go up to the cottage with the kids on his own. Big freakin' mistake. I should know better. When my mom discovered that I was having sex with my boyfriend when I was 17 (she found the birth control), she went straight to my dad with the news. Daddies don't want to know these things about their baby girls. Plus Dad had really liked that boyfriend, so he was doubly hurt because now he had to kill him. (I date preppy rich "nice" boys, Dad can't stand 'em. I bring home a long-haired blue collar rocker-dude - K - and Dad adores him. Go figure.) Mom wasn't that upset, she kind of expected it. She just can't keep her big mouth shut.

So I whined to my mom about Spousehole and she told my dad. I may be turning 40 soon, but I will always be Daddy's Little Girl and, like a typical man, he wants to "fix" everything. Mom stopped him from calling Spousehole to bitch him out. After all, he was on the freeway with my baby Girl in the car. But Dad insisted on calling my in-laws and trying to recruit them to talk some sense into their asshole son. So then my MIL calls me, wants my side of the story. FIL wants to bar Spousehole from the cottage or their house for treating me like shit. I had to get them to agree to just let Spousehole talk to them if he wants to but otherwise back the hell off. MIL recognized that their interference would only make things worse for me. Of course, she's been there. She's married to Spousehole, the Prequel.

Thanks to everyone for your support. Thanks especially to my blogosphere friend who IM'd with me for over 2 hours this afternoon and really, really helped me. You're the best, buddy.

HNT!

Crabby, mostly-nekkid 2-year-old. She strips at every opportunity. Apparently clothes just weigh her down.

3:00 p.m.
I am SO mad at the GDMFSOB I am married to!! We were supposed to leave today to go up north to our cottage. Our son has been up there all week with his grandparents for Vacation Bible School at their church. Tonight is the program that the VBS kids put on for the parents to show what they've learned all week. I've been looking forward to it; it's always a cute show.

About 2:00 p.m., Spousehole "suggested" (in way that's clear that it isn't a suggestion) that I stay home since I "could use some time to [my]self and can get some cleaning done without everyone in the way." I was stunned. I just said "If that's what you want" and he replied, "It's probably for the best." WTF???!?

I was sobbing saying goodbye to my daughter and Spousehole said nothing. Wouldn't even look at me. Bastard. I sobbed "Well have fun" as he started the car. He said, "Oh, we will," backed out of the driveway and left. With me standing there on the driveway crying my eyes out. Devastated and confused.

Even worse, he left me with no car. Our second car is in the shop. He talked to the mechanic right before he left and told them that the car didn't need to be done until Saturday. WTF?? Since he had already decided to leave me behind, why tell them that we don't need the car for a couple more days? Just mean-spiritedness, to leave me without a vehicle? I don't get it. (I do have a bicycle, the grocery store is maybe 6 blocks away, we do have a municipal bus system - I'm not stranded.)

I am beyond upset. I don't even want to call my PIC for a booty-call - I'm too freakin' upset (and he probably couldn't get free anyhow).

TMI Tuesday!!

It's TMI Tuesday! Click the "I kiss and tell" icon to come play with us!!

1. Leather, lace or silk?

Silk, with a little leather thrown in for variety. I love a guy in a leather jacket and chaps, but silk boxers do even more for me. And I love, love, love silk on me! A man's hand touching me through the silk, gliding over my body - nothing better!

2. Do you subscribe (or regularly buy) to any "dirty" magazines? Which ones?

I get Cooking Light and Cooking Pleasures - food porn!

3. Have you ever had sex in water (tub/pool/lake/ocean)?

Oh yeah! Hot tub, ocean, lake, pool, bathtub, shower - I love water!

4. The three words that best describe you in bed are eager, uninhibited, and wet. Three words that best describe your most recent partner in bed are adventurous, giving, and delicious.

5. Did you lose your virginity as an impetuous youth, "to prove that you loved" him/her, because of a romantic gesture, a newly wed or other (please describe because I can't think of what an "other" might be)?

Mine is a pathetic story. I lost my virginity on a dare - so I guess that qualifies as "impetuous youth." I was 15, he was 16 and was my friend's boyfriend's best friend. We never even spoke again after that night. I didn't have intercourse again for 9 months and then it was with a guy I had been dating for 7 months and was "in love" with. That was amazing, wonderful, and (happy) tear-inducing.

Bonus (as in optional): Name three words that:

a) get you excited

I want you

b) make you squirm

Yes, please, ma'am.

c) make you laugh

wiener
puddamopahdnabo (only my college friends will get that one)
suh-weet!
