It’s not that there isn’t sex going on around here. There is.  It’s just that I have no desire to write about sexy stuff.  Maybe not ever again. I should probably just make a vanilla blog, eh? Nah, this is my home and I’ll write what I want. Anyhow… Lots of fun going on. Summer

That is exactly how my immediate future is looking. It’s been a hectic day and I am tired and I can’t stop working even though I stopped working three hours ago so I need to consciously STOP. Go into the kitchen. Brew up a strong, rich cup of Sumatran coffee.  Fill the tub. Toss in a

So my stress level lately is off the fucking charts. It’s hard to explain why, hard to pinpoint any one thing as it all seems to build up. Most days, I can’t even tell if the thing I’m feeling stressed about is actually what I am stressed about. You know what I mean?  Like you

I have nothing to say.

Really. Nothing.

Weekend? Fantastic. Work after a three day weekend? Insane.

So, anyhow. I was insane busy today and when I finally stopped and looked at the clock and realized it was almost five and I hadn’t eaten and I was feeling like shit, I hit the pause button.

I really have nothing to say — I just wanted to use this icon.

I’m sort of an icon whore.

I went out and bought all new bedding today. New sheets and pillow cases and comforters. I can’t WAIT to go to bed.

So I’m on my lunch break, sitting outside on my balcony with the laptoppy, a steaming mug of french vanilla java, homemade chocolate chip cookies, a smoke (yes, I started again. shame. fuck off) and the urge to sigh a big, huge sigh of relief. You would think that working from home would be easy.

Ugh.  I haven’t written a "real" post in almost two weeks. Life has become exceedingly busy. Weekends are spent out and about, riding and enjoying the summer.  And the weekdays?  Work, work and more work. It’s been a long time since I put in anything resembling full time hours.  And even though I’m working from

So we’re out on the bikes the other day, cruisin’ around in the sunshine and heat, enjoying some country roads, lake views and prairie scenery.  All is good.  Everyone is mellow.  There’s next to no traffic and we can all just about feel the stress of the week melting off us. We pulled over at

So I straightened and vacuumed the living room, wiped down the kitchen, got most of the laundry started… Taylor is at the garage working on the bike… I’m bored. There are a ton of things I could do but I just don’t feel like it. I hate days like this. I woke up before I wanted

Kaya wrote a post today that has me thinking. (She actually wrote a couple posts this week that have me thinking.  Sitting down to write my thoughts just ain’t been happening – but the thoughts are there none-the-less.) She followed up on her blog post with a FetLife post, as well. Curious? I’ll go make

Taylor is thiiiiiiiiis close to having the bike put back together and running for the season and, guess what? They’re forcasting snow for Saturday and Tuesday.   Whiskey Tango Foxtrot????? Wisconsin sometimes sucks ass. ——————————- I told Taylor to shut up this morning and had a damned fit over absolutely nothing. There are times I

I love Sundays. Sundays are our “nothing” days.  We lounge around in jammies and do as little as possible. Sunday’s in the winter are even better cuz it’s cozy and warm in the house and blustery outside and I feel, more so than any other time, the tight knit closeness of our family. Today the

So school has started for the teen and I’m quite determined to get myself into some sort of routine.  There has been next to no scheduled sleep or eat or cleaning times since Taylor started working nights and it’s making me both crazy and vaguely depressed all the time.  I’m a creature of habit and

Well… I sure haven’t written here in awhile, have I? Both lots going on and nothing going on at the same time, if that makes sense. Let’s see if I can hit the major points, hmmm? Taylor got a new job. He was working for a company thru the temp agency for two months and

“If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don’t be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning ‘Good morning’ at total strangers.”~Maya Angelou What a quote, eh? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Probably because Taylor and I work together so

Haven’t put anything in here in a long while…Life has been busy – filled with little things – and there just hasn’t been much to say. I did, however, read something in a book yesterday that I want to share…“Life is not simple, but we live it. Complications provide spice.” Thank gods I like spicy,

Though why I feel the need to write about nothing is beyond me. Lol. Seriously, I just like to keep this thing fairly updated. Nothing much has changed. The house is still crowded, I’m still basically smoke free, I’m still fairly grumpy most of the time. There are good things going on, of course. Colin

Not much goin’ on in my life lately. Been keeping myself in perpetual motion to refrain from smoking. So long as I’m moving I seem to think about it less. I get to sitting down and doing nothing and I crave one constantly. (This shit about it getting easier is a lie. It’s been about

So I’m supposed to be all happy and shit. I mean… the Dude I love just asked me to marry him, Christmas is coming – which is my very favorite time of year, our financial situation is looking up – despite some big debts… and here I sit, stuck in the middle of a bunch

“It is not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one’s dignity, to work unhampered, to be generous, frank and independent.” ~ W. Somerset Maugham , ‘Of Human Bondage’, 1915 I think I’ve used this quote before but I reread it today and it sure did hit home. Nothing but troubles lately –

Haven’t had much time for writing lately. Too busy going temporarily insane. But that’s ok. “People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt, My Day My character must, certainly, be growin’ like I have twenty masons workin’ on it. :) Seriously, though… Life has
