various stuffs

• My baby boy turns 100 days old today. Hard to believe it’s gone that fast.
• That damned bug bite, and the 5 others I had, itched like a mofo for four freakin days.
• I just spent several days moving my baby blog – turned family blog, to one of my own domains and will probably do the same for this blog once I decide on a domain name.
• I got stopped the other day (expired inspection sticker) and damn, the Statie was cute.
• No, I didn’t proposition him.
• Yes, I got a ticket but won’t have to pay it if I can get the car inspected by Sunday
• Apparently, Donald Trump got pissy because NBC decided not to put The Apprentice on the Fall schedule, and went all Rosie on them, deciding not to do the show at all anymore. Does that mean NBC is Fired? And more importantly, does ANYONE care???
• Another post-partum woman decided to off her kids and, thankfully, herself – and one of the kids – the newest one – survived THE HANGING. All I can imagine is what that little girl is gonna think when she gets older.

update on the experiment

Well, what a week! You may recall that on Tuesday, I told hubby he wasn’t going to cum that night.

The next day, we talked and I told him I’d like to try to get him to Saturday, which was “my night” to decide what we were going to do … sexually. He said “ok”

heh

I’d also wanted to see if him not having that release would make him more randy, playful, needy, etc. SOMETHING.

Unfortunately for me, no. But something else happened that made the “work” so worth it anyways.

Every night this week – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we had sex. Or at least sexual activity. Each of those nights ended with me having one or more orgasms reliably – every night. And one afternoon, I even got flipped around and had my shorts yanked down so he could fuck me during his lunch break! Of course, this is becuase I’ve been teasing him mercilessly

But this whole cumming every time, and sometimes more than once, hasn’t happened in a very very long time. I’m always hit or miss, especially after having the baby. It’s been alot more miss.

He also let me know that it didn’t bother him not cuming, that he could do that all the time.

*evil grin* Oh reallllly?

He also managed to find yet another way to make me cum… ya know, all those different types of orgasms… yeah, we found another winner. Damn, did we ever.

Last night, he finally came and now next week it’s his turn… but like I said, it didn’t have the desired effect that I’d wanted in that whole … more affection/attention area, but it seems to also have relieved alot of the depression I’d been feeling for a while. I’ve felt so much better this week – it’s not a conscious effort to be happy or at least *not* blah this week, so that was a HUGE help.

so yay for us… and thanks to Sexy Momma and her hubby for the inspiration.

Nature hates me (or… there goes my chances for getting on Survivor)

No – seriously, it does.

The new photo on my blog header was taken today at this beautiful, serene lake about 10 minutes from home. We got there early, got a nice spot with lots of shade, but near enough to the beach to be able to watch the kids play in the sand.

10 minutes into our little outing, I got BIT. I got bit by some asshole bug horsefly wannabe. I watched the damned thing happen. This is what happened to my hand:

I got bit no less than 7 times in the 5 hours we were there. My baby boy got bit once. The other THREE people in our little party – ya know, the man & two other kidlets? NOTHING. Not that I wish they would have, but WTF.

So then, there we are, sitting at our kitchen table, eating the banana splits that I bribed promised everyone if we could PLEASE LEAVE THIS GODFORSAKEN BUG FEST once we left the beach, hubby came up behind my chair and I asked him if I’d gotten sunburnt, because my shoulder kind of felt like it had.

THERE WAS A FUCKING TICK SUCKING MY BLOOD OUT, that’s why it felt weird.

Nature hates me.

E Online has an interview with the actor, Dominic Monaghan, and apparently, he was tired of being a supporting player, without ever having the chance to lead the story. Ah well – can’t blame him, I suppose.

I’d pretty much lost faith in this show, and had been wondering how’d they’ll ever be able to drag out this story line for another 3 years but last night’s finale at least gave us some clues. Yay *sorta*

Another ugly trophy goes to…. (DWTS spoiler)

The cutesy couple, Julianne & Apolo were triumphant last night after a final stroll across the dance floor for all three couples on Dancing with the Stars.

Laila Ali, got knocked up out first and went out “in true boxer style” according to - if “true boxer style” means obnoxiously, then yeah, she did. She was obnoxious, and a bad loser. That’s always sad to see, but especially in a woman. She basically told the other two guys that it didn’t matter who won since she didn’t.

Sorry Laila, but you just weren’t as good as the boys.  GET OVER IT.

Joey & Apolo were both on equal ground, imo, so either one was deserving. I had a personal favorite in Joey because I was a fan of (YES, I AM AN ADMITTED BOY-BAND UMM… appreciator?) n’Sync, and he has a really fun personality. However, it was not to be, as Julianna & Apolo really did kick ass as well. Julianna, all of 18 years old, is the youngest participant (and obviously youngest winner) and she really is an incredible dancer.

I look forward to next season – at least until I see who the participants are LOL

tagged yet again

I was tagged by AngelBrat a while ago and am just now getting around to thinking about my answers LOL I love getting tagged, though, so here they are – as unthunk as they are

Question number 1: What are three of the stupidest things you’ve done in your life?

• (copying angelbrat) started smoking

• had unprotected sex (with a rather … questionable person) and luckily didn’t catch anything

• protested having a c-section so long that I put us both in jeopardy.

Question number 2: At the current moment, who has the most influence on your life?

• Zachary, who is 100% dependent on ol’ mom for ya know, nourishment, rules my days & my nights. My schedule is his to do with as he wants.\
• But as for things like making decisions, I’d have to say my hubby – my first thought is usually “Well, what would HE think I should do/say/etc.” because I value his opinion… and my sanity lol

Question number 3: If you were given a time machine that functioned, and you were allowed to only pick five people to dine with, who would you pick?

• My kids – in the future, to see that they turn out ok.

• My Nana – I miss her terribly, and would love to talk to her about how I’M doing, since she never got a real chance to meet her great grandchildren. Her Alzheimer’s had already kicked in when I had my 1st.

• My mom – 35 years ago, when she was deciding to marry the bastard that she married – to talk her out of it. Yeah, I know, it’d determine that my brother wasn’t here, but for her to experience what she did… that’s a tough choice.

(that’s 5)

Question number 4: If you had three wishes that were not supernatural, what would they be?

• Financial stability – I don’t need a million dollars – just a steady income that isn’t going anywhere – EVER.

• An extra 3 hours a day

• and of course, to know that my children grow up happy and healthy.

Question number 5: Someone is visiting your hometown/place where you live at the moment. Name two things you regret your city not having, and two things people should really avoid.

• I regret that our town doesn’t have better access to the coast .. the term “can’t get there from here” really applies.
• I also regret that our town doesn’t have a better support system to do things FOR the town, like fireworks on holidays, etc.

• Two things to avoid… that’s tough, being in a small town. I’d avoid Chutters … paying $10/lb for penny candy, just for the “Thrill” of the world’s biggest candy counter is STUPID.
• I’d also avoid the draw to go wading in the river – it’s not as clean as it looks.

Question number 6: Name one event that has changed your life.

• Meeting my hubby. I became a different person after I met him.

Question number 7: Is not a question. It’s a command. Tag five other people.

I dunno if they’ll answer, but I tag Skywindows, her hubby Brahnamin, Angel, Melinda, and a blog new to me, Sexy Momma – no, it’s not mine

Dancing with the Stars

Ok, so week 10 of Dancing with the Stars. *sniff* *Sniff* This was my first year watching this show and I totally love it. I don’t’ know if it’s just because I liked some of the participants, like Joey Fatone, Ian Ziering, Billy Ray Cyrus.. but it really was a fun show to watch.

My big guess is that Apolo & Julianna will win, only because they got a higher judge’s score last night, but I really think Joey & Kym are better than them overall. They did a much more advanced, sophisticated freestyle dance – wtf was up with the breakdancing, Apolo? Ugh. Laila, I think she dug her own grave with those two dances tonight. Granted, she’s come a long way, but nah, no trophy for her. Mmmkay?

How’s that for hedging my bets? LOL
