Change of Plans

We were supposed to be leaving for Colorodo this evening, but seeing that they are expecting 4 ft of snow, our trip has been cancelled. Oh well..

I'm off to do a little work and catch up on some blog reading...

Don't you just hate it when you have to cancel your plans at the last minute?

Things That I See...

Is is okay to wear snow boots even when there is no snow around...or it's not remotely cold outside?

Why would you wear hip huggers if you had no "hips"?

Why don't women learn how to dress for their body and not everyone else's?

Why do people wear sunglasses, if there is no sun? Especially on the inside of a club...

Why would you wear a provocative outfit to a conservative party, and then get mad when everyone is staring at you?

Why wear low cut blouses if you have nothing up there to show off?

Why is it that when the slightest warm front comes into town, clothes start getting shorter and flip flops come out the closet...It's still December people.

Why do women get long fake toenails?

Why are people still getting upset about interracial and same sex relationships? Haven't they ever stopped to think that even if the person was not dating someone of a different race or sex, they wouldn't be dating them. Let people live their lives...

Why is it when the slightest bit of precipitation falls, people start driving like idiots?

Why would a grown man get upset because he got arrested for walking into an all girl's school to use the bathroom? There is a sign posted on the front letting you know that it is an all girls school.

I have more thoughts, but that's it for now!

A Simple Smile

I can still feel his hands all over me...Caressing my face, and every other place...

I can see the sincerity in his golden eyes...

I can see the love in his dimpled smile. Just thinking of it makes me smile.

With every word, I know that he loves me. He tells me. He says that he wants to make sure he tells me as often as he can so that I never forget. I let him know that his actions me show me everyday...

We walked in the park. Just the two of us. Holding hands. Talking. Taking in the sights, the sounds, the smells. It amazing how something so simple can turn into an experience so great.

When we got home, I had to have him. Right then...Right there. I was in control and he loved it.

Later yesterday evening, we met up with our friends. The guys played a couple of games of pool. The ladies watched, and talked. Afterwards we sat down for drinks and conversation. He sat across from me. He glanced at me with that familiar gleam in his eyes. He smile that same dimpled smile that got me earlier...The one that lets me know that he is happy. The one that lets me know that I am loved. The one that let me know that it was on once again when we got home...

After a few moments he came and sat next to me and held my hand. He started to whisper some not so sweet things in my ear. The other people at the table seemed to disappear. Needless to say we didn't make it through the whole evening with the rest of the crew.

We went home and started where we left off earlier that day.

It doesn't take much to make me happy, and he knows it. For every action, there is a reaction. Some good, some bad. Some subtle, some out-of- control. But he has it down...He knows what to do at the right time. Even when he makes mistakes he is man enough to admit to those mistakes and do what he has to do to make things right....I love that man.

Don't you just love it when simple things make you happy? (Unless you're a complex person, but that's a different story)

My Weekend...

I've decided that I will help my friend...a little. I am not going to give her the full amount. It's one thing to be generous, but it's a totally different thing to be a fool...

My weekend was pretty uneventful. We just spent quality time together having some good old fashioned family fun. It's been pretty warm outside the last couple of days.

We took my daughter to the Children's Museum on Friday. We shopped and wrapped gifts on Saturday. We spent Sunday with my man's family. We went to church, then out to eat. I had a lot of fun hanging out with them. They love my daughter to death...

My man and I had a quiet evening at home alone on Sunday. My daughter went to her dad's house. He always takes his vacation from work around Christmas so that he can spend time with my daughter while she's out of school. I'm child- free for a whole week! I know my man will be planning some naughty things! I can't wait!

How was your weekend?

I Remember Yesterday

Yesterday was a blur....

I remember waking up, getting started on my work, then leaving the house...I remember going to sleep at about 2 am.

I faintly remember a voice on the phone saying..."My kitchen is on fire."

I went over the floor plan of the house in my mind. The kitchen was located between the living room and the baby's room.

I tried to call her back but there was no answer...

I remember the flashing lights, and all the people standing around.

I remember the smoke.

A mixed feeling of relief came when I saw her standing there holding my god daughter. I was glad that they were okay.

Her husband wasn't home, as usual. He wouldn't answer his phone when she called...He had been gone since the day before...

After a few hours, it was all over.

We went back into the house. The kitchen was burned beyond repair but no other rooms were damaged.

She looked at me in despair and said, "What am I going to do. My deductible is $1500. I don't have that kind of money.?"

I told her to talk to her husband first.

She said that she knew he wouldn't have the money.

I told her that I would get back to her.


I'm really in a mess. I love my god daughter, and my friend. I don't want to love them conditionally though...But it's hard for me to give her money to help save her house a second time, when she has a husband at home to help her. I am saving for myself. I am trying to get ahead with a lot of things that I have worked so hard to get for me and mine. I'm getting married very soon...

Is it selfish of me to be thinking of myself at a time like this? I mean, I would be helping my friend, but she is not my responsibility when you look at the whole situation. She chose to be with her husband. Although I don't get into their situation, I know that he is no good for her. He probably still doesn't know what happened to his family.

Should I help her, or should I just tell her no for a change?

Welcome Back Drama

I was feeling all good yesterday and BAM! Diva had to go stir up some mess!

My friend, that has been living the double life (he has a girlfriend that he lives with and he has a boyfriend on the side) for quite some time, has gotten himself into an even bigger mess. His girlfriend is pregnant and his boyfriend is livid. To top it all off, Diva saw him out with another woman.

Diva can't keep a secret to save his life. Diva told his girlfriend about the other woman. Now this may seem petty, but the problem came in when they all met at MY house to have the discussion. I still have a headache from all this drama.

My life has been so peaceful this past week...

I didn't comment at all. After the heated discussion was over, I excused them all from my house as fast as they came in...My mission for 2007...No Drama....Even when it is knocking at my front door. We'll see how long that lasts.

Don't you just hate it when people have to put themselves into situations that they need to stay out of?

Why do they have to drag you into the mess with them?

Yesterday, He Found The Time

He had to be up early...and he found the time to make breakfast.

He had an early morning doctor's appointment...yet he found the time drop my daughter off at school.

He had a big project at work due in 2 days...yet he found the time to meet me for lunch.

He went to the mall to shop...and came back with something for everyone in the house except himself.

He had a stressful day...yet he was more concerned with how my day was.

His mother is sick...but he keeps on going.


I appreciate all the things that my man does for me...All the sacrifices he makes for me...The way he treats me...The way he loves me.


He never complains...He says that to complain would mean that he is doing something that he doesn't want to do.


No questions today...Just a lotta love in the air...

Missing His Luvin'

I'm a borderline nymph when it comes to good sex. Especially when I'm used to getting it on a regular basis. I guess I really didn't realize how much it affected my everyday life until I had to do without it while my man was sick.

...Thank goodness that's over.


How does sex affect your life?

Do you have to have it or can you do without it for long periods of time?


I've gone without sex for a long time in the past because I wanted to. I have never been put in the position of where I had to do without it for a long time. Hmm. That's another post altogether.

If you had to take a vow of celibacy starting today, could you do it? Now with this vow, there would be certain terms...You would not have sex until you have found love, and
intimacy....

I wonder if I could do it again. Honestly, I'm glad that I don't have to find out...

I think I could live without sex if I had to. If something were to happen to my man to where he was still living but could not perform, I would still love him for the man that he is. I'm sure it would be difficult for me in the beginning...in the middle...heck it would be hard for me!

Making love to someone that you love is a beautiful thing. It's more than just sex. Now that I have experienced that feeling, I don't think I could have it any other way under normal circumstances.

Why do you think people put so much emphasis on sex?

Oh Well..

My last post marked my 200th post, but I have been so busy trying to catch up on my work, I didn't have time to do anything special...Oh well...

My man has been under the weather since we got back, and he is being such a baby.

I can't wait until we go out of the country again.

I haven't read many blogs lately so I feel so out- of- the loop.

I'm ready to have another child now. I knew the time would come...

How many times is my employee going to ask me for her paycheck early? How many emergencies can you have...I know it sounds cruel, but now I have to explain it my boss...

My Time Away

I'm seeing the world in a whole new light...If there is one thing that I brought back from my journey, it is...Ignorance is caused by the absence of experience... Our thoughts and beliefs are based on things that we know or at least we think we know. There is so much out there, and I have made it my mission to see and do as much as I can, while I can.

There's just something about boarding a plane to a destination that you've only seen in your dreams. I got the chance to experience Europe...Italy to be exact. I had a wonderful time. The sights, the sounds, the smells. It was all different from what I'm used to. My man's company sponsored the trip for him and 4 of his colleges and their spouses. We had a great time. It came as sort of a last minute deal, but it was well worth it...On top of that, we spent very little out-of pocket money, except for the shopping...Of course he had to go and get sick our last day there, but we still had a great time.

I have a lot of catching up to do today...Work..blog reading...and everything else in between.


What are some things that you hope to experience in your lifetime?

Back To Bloggin'

I have been so busy the past couple of weeks...

My man swept me away on a two city European vacation, and I had a blast. Even though the weather was not at it's best, it felt so good to get away for a while. I left work and everything else behind and I feel rejuvenated! I needed that time away...

If you can appreciate the antiquated architecture, then you would love it. Things are different there, but that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I'm sure I will be giving more details about my travels in the near future, but for now, it's back to work.

So, what's going on in blogland?
