Rocco my dear, please warn a pregnant woman who is beginning to have some bladder issues when something is that funny. I started laughing so hard that I nearly lost control. The comments and reviews are some of the best writing I've seen in ages.
As part of the big contest, I was going to write about my very first time, and do it 100% truthfully. I started the story, and when I got to recalling my feelings about the guy (who was a very nice guy), I ran into blocks, delays, and all sorts of assorted mental foggery. I couldn't figure out why, until one of my daily weeping storms brought about some clarity: Recalling those feelings, from way back in 1989 (the dark ages, kiddies!) it made me feel guilty for having them, because right here and now, I am still madly in love with my husband and have been for ten years. We were in different parts of the country, in two different worlds, really, but my feelings for him are so strong that simply recalling another love made me feel guilty.
Anyone else have issues when writing about or even discussing previous relationships?
Or is the another sign of the encroaching madness that pregnancy brings?
You're gonna need that armor after my husband finds out.
You simply cannot visit the Gilroy Garlic Festival without the garlic ice cream!!! It's actually quite good!
At times I've rated them at hubby's request and I do have a wide range of them. There's a #1, which is usually just me, and it's about a "Good, now I can get on with my day!" and of course the #5 "Where's the cigarettes? I know I don't smoke, but I need one now." and at the top of the scale, the #11, the "Sweet Holy Jesus, do we need to buy another box spring honey?" or the "Calm down honey, you can't bleed to death from scratches on your back!" The #11 is of course a homage to Spinal Tap.
The online me can drink, so give me a nice Mai Tai, with Myers Dark on the top, please....
the real me however will settle for Sprite. How utterly boring approaching motherhood is.
Kneeing my husband-to-be in the balls was about as bad as I can recall.
Wasn't on TV, but we went to go see Julia & Julie last night, very, very good movie. Meryl Streep is truly amazing. Was easy to get hubby to go see a "chick flick". Just tell him "Amy Adams is in it, and I think they mentioned nudity..." he was all set to go!
My best "impress the guests" dish?
"Hey, you know it's too hot and we're short on time, let's go to Jak's for a steak, if you've never been there, you'll love it."
Works every time.
Oh. You mean something that I actually cook myself?
Pig Slop. Despite the name, this tasty, easy to make recipe is a sure fire winner.
Take one pound of ground steak, start browning in pan, in another pan, start two cans of cream of mushroom soup
Finish beef, drain and mix in with soup.
Add some chopped veggies (I use the BirdsEye StirFry Mix)
spray a square baking dish with PAM, cover the bottom inch with chow mein noodles, pour beef, soup and veggie mix in, cover with ground cheddar/mozzerella/jack/cheese of your choice, bake at 350 for thirty minutes.
Surprisingly tasty. For variations, try ground lamb, and some spicier addition to the soup base. I've got about 20 different versions and hubby will ask for them by number at times. "How about a 16?" (the Mexican variety where I add some taco seasoning to the mix, a half pound of chorizo/half pound of beef and pepperjack cheese)
Oh, I have some pretty dark fantasies.....I've even written about some of them....the sex slave thing doesn't get me interested though, owning a sex slave now, that's one that'd be fun...a nice, handsome fellow, who does exactly what he's told, when he's told, and he never needs rest or a break....oh yessssss.........
what the sex of your baby was?
We do NOT want to know, and tell all who ask that we're just hoping for "happy and healthy".
However last night in bed we were discussing what things each of us would teach our child be it boy or girl, and we both stopped, looked at each other, and said "it's a girl." We don't know how how, or why, but we just KNOW. Various relatives have made guesses based on how much weight I've gained (not as much as expected, but still too much to wear my old stuff for the most part) and they're all about 50/50, we viewed the sonogram and my doctor was careful to make sure not to show us anything, and pronounced my baby healthy and 100% normal. Needless to say, we both bawled our eyes out at the viewing. It's a mighty potent moment in your lives...
So did you just guess, did you have a feeling, or did you just take the easy way out?
I've been less active here due to some emotional roller-coaster issues, but my doctor recommended that I try to do some normal stuff to keep me from getting too emotional one way or the other. I gave him a brief idea of this place and he told me to get back to writing, so be prepared for some new stuff soon...:-)
that last thing I remember was the shoe department and the wine and then.....
If you want to know all the countries of the world, and to a catchy tune no less, then dig up the Animaniacs song Yakko's World, where he names then all, in tune, and in less than 5 minutes, even cooler the voice actor nailed it in one take on the DVD extras ELEVEN YEARS LATER....

Don't worry, it's not your kid...;-)
the Bruins poster in the living room.
"Yes, honey, I know they're a legendary team and one of the Original Six, but it'll look better in the den, trust me..."
I replaced it with a "Singing In The Rain" poster....he still gives me dirty looks from time to time...
The excitement never ends. now that the weather is merely warm instead of the scorching heat we had the last few days, grocery shopping!! Fun, because I love to shop, but not fun because I have to avoid certain things now...:-( However, I'm getting all the stuff together to make crepes for hubby and I for breakfast tomorrow...that should be nice...fresh strawberries and cream, yum!!
I think every woman should know some basic automotive skills. Not just because my father and brother are racers, but if you at least know the basics, you're much less likely to get ripped off by some scam artist mechanic. Hubby does the oil changes and basic stuff, but I've noticed mechanics become much more respectful once you show them that you're not some silly female with no clue.
I love a bit of light from candles, oil lantern, and in one case were we were staying with a friend, a set of neon lights that went around the foot of the bed. Way cool and much atmosphere.
my beloved Solstice had to....go
