Hubby usually gives me money when we play "Hooker and the John". I keep it though...:-)
Hubby's temples were already silvering when I met him, and now he's kind of iron grey all around, and I love him just fine. Doesn't matter in the slightest. Falling for a grey haired babe? Hubby admits to a crush on one of his clients who is in her late 40's and has never dyed her hair, however, she's in superb condition and still looks plenty hot, she just doesn't care about the grey. Hubby says that kind of honesty is kind of sexy. Not that it stopped me from touching up my roots....not nearly a strong enough self image to let my roots show!!!
41. Yes, it took me awhile to try it, but I've been very busy.
From George Carlin:
"I never get sick, never get colds, do you know why? because I've got a good, strong immune system, and it gets a lot of practice. I grew up in New York, and we used to swim in the Hudson River, you know, to cool off, and that river was filthy, with raw sewage floating in it, we were tempered in liquid shit! But no kid I knew got polio or anything else because our immune systems were strong! My immune system is equipped with grenades, automatic weapons, and we've recently added cluster bombs and low yield nuclear warheads. Some unlucky germ shows up in my body and they go out and wax the motherfucker, no Miranda warning, no probation, they wax the fucker and deposit him neatly in my color for removal."
And he's right. I keep a clean house, but I'm not a clean freak with sanitizer everywhere, and we....don't get sick very often. However, a co-worker who avoids germs with an insane level of phobia, when she gets a cold, it lingers for weeks because her system isn't used to working very hard. Ours probably have to kill a few germs every day, so when a tougher one shows up, the system is ready to handle it.
Oooh no. Very happy with being a woman, thank you very much. I LOVE going into a store and watching a 17 year old clerk break his leg running to help me, if I was a guy, I'd be ignored. Shoes? Guys buy maybe 20 pairs for their entire adult lives? How boring. Clothes? I can have 30 different looks if I desire, guys are too limited! And I can't imagine anything more comfortable on a warm day than sandals and a nice sun dress, cargo shirts and a tank top can't be that nice! The only thing I do envy for guys is their freedom to go where they want at any time, but that's not enough to give up all the perks of being a woman...
A great deal of medical technology is incredible. The way a knee surgery that used to take 5 hours and leave a horrendous scar, can now be done in 2 hours with only a tiny nick of a scar? My brother has a 10 inch scar from his knee and leg repair when he shattered it at 10 years old, but now there would be almost no scarring, and the 6 month recovery time would be 3 or less. Amazing. The way a tiny device can be inserted into you and get accurate readings of damage to arteries and veins, and they can be just as easily repaired nowadays? The little device that ran over my stomach and gave me my first look at my beautiful baby girl? Just...wow.
Plus I'm pretty blown away by a remote that can all our stuff. Pretty cool.
Huevos con Chorizo, with spanish rice, beans, and....fried ice cream! I've lost all but three of the pounds I put on in pregnancy, and damnit, I deserve ice cream! I've never made fried ice cream myself, I hope I don't make too much of a mess!
I enjoyed breast feeding as it was very, I don't know...comforting for me? Made me feel like everything was right in my world. However, my nipples did get fairly sensitive, and my hubby called them "easy pickings" because a few licks and nibbles and I'd get right into the mood! However, this only happened after a few months. At first, it wasn't at all comfortable or pleasing.
He's fairly smooth about checking out other women on the sly, and I'm cool with that. If he really wanted to be with another woman, he wouldn't have married me and been a spectacular husband all this time. He's only looking, because he appreciates an attractive woman, and I only look because I appreciate an attractive guy, it's equal, neither one of us feels invisible.
When he still wanted to be with me after I kneed him in the testicles. I mean, I was pretty sure before that, but it sure made it clear.
No set rule, however, rarely first date, and that's because it's rarely going to be a second date. If the guy is willing to get straight to it, then he's missing getting to know me at all, and then why would I want to know him better? I might have sex because I'm horny as hell, that's no way to start a solid relationship. I think that's why my two longest relationships have been my marriage and my first sexual relationship. It took some time to get to know each other and get to that level.
Drugs are so not my thing, but I think we've all had sex after a few (or more) drinks...
Never withheld sex from any guy as a power play, or a punishment, however certain things may be offered as an inducement or refused as a punishment, but not sex in general...:-)
One of hubby's favorites:
It's 2 am, my love's asleep
and somehow now it hits me deep
to watch her breathe, to know she lives
is more than gold or silver gives
I scratch her back, her neck I kiss
my happiness is stuff like this,
we've lived large, and both been burned
and by now I guess we've learned
Simple things are everything,
Simple things are everything,
Yeah, simple things are everything
I know our love is big as life
it means a lot to call you wife
but bigger still is when you smile
it makes my heart jump up for miles
I guess we'd like to have it all
bigger lives and countless falls
as long as I can make you laugh
that's the life I'd rather have
Simple things are everything,
Simple things are everything,
Yeah, simple things are everything
It's 3 am and I'm asleep
I just put down my favorite read
and dreams of her go through my head
for five more hours in our bed....
When he sang that to me on our first anniversary I bawled my eyes out...
Mine change pretty often, they're just illustrations that hubby either does or finds and then I color them!
My hair's a mess, I went too short on the last cut, and have been moping about for weeks, I know, shallow, shallow, me, but I hate it this short, not even touching my shoulders. On the other hand, it's been well received by others. However, if we hate our hair, no amount of compliments will make us change our mind..:-)
Having a baby just short of my 41st birthday made me nervous, but it all went well with natural birth, but my doctor told me MANY women over 40 are better off with a c-sect. That fact that we're going to wait one full year before we even think about another may make natural birth more difficult and leave me with no choice. Do not be afraid though to talk to another doctor!!!
My charity of choice is Special Olympics, I had a little girl from there sort of change my life in college
Hubby and I both have a tiny bit of Dutch in our ancestry, so we'll be cheering on the Orange! He even got me a pair of skimpy orange shorts to wear during the game! Now if I can just get a set of wings by Sunday...
I'm drooling on both ends...(I LOVE that one!)
Mine was quite pleasant, if a bit awkward...it's on my stories if you want to read the true details....
Well Made Male was Ned Beatty's stunt double in Deliverance....
I know several bisexual people, and they all claim that we're all bisexual to some degree, it's just a matter of the right circumstances that can bring it out. I consider myself straight as can be, but watching the Proposal and the Blind Side had me thinking thoughts about Sandra Bullock I'd never thought before. I can't see where guys would be any different, however the "gay" stigma would prevent them from expressing it openly, whereas we women are considered sexier or cooler if we "experiment", heck, there's plenty of popular songs about it for girls, but I can't recall one about guys. (Wait, OK, yeah, after the video, I'd consider Katy Perry as well!)
As long as the guy's being smart and using protection, I can't see where it would be a problem.
Oddly enough, behind my ears, when he gently strokes a finger back there, I'm helpless....however, there's another spot, but, no, it's considered somewhat freaky by me......
