Getting a Good Laugh

Disclaimer: this post has talk of girlie parts!

A few things I can always count on Wangie for are a voice of reason, eternal optimism, and a good laugh when I least expect it. Just today, I was chatting with her about a concerning change in my body. Let's face it, for those that have issues with their body, you get real comfortable real quick with your body and knowing what's normal and what isn't. Since all of my problems are gynocological, "that" time of the month is always interesting to see what's going to be different this time! Like clockwork, something new is happening, and normally I would probably laugh about it, but knowing what I've been through this past year even the smallest thing isn't a laughing matter. So, I consult my best friend...

Carolyn: can i ask you a really personal girlie question?

Wangie: sure

Carolyn: are certain parts of your body really sensitive when you have your period?

Wangie: yes, my boobs get really sore for like a week, and when i actually have my period, i have cramps the first or second day…you ok?

Carolyn: yeah, i pretty much feel the same thing...but something different is happening this month, but it's really weird because it's never happened before, and it's making me really, REALLY uncomfortable

Carolyn: and you promise not to laugh?

Carolyn: because i know it's going to sound ridiculous

Wangie:: i won’t laugh

Carolyn: my nipples?! Are SO fucking sensitive!

Wangie: I’m sorry! I get that sometimes too, but not always

Carolyn: it's so annoying!!! every time i brush something like a folder, book, my purse!

Wangie: its torture, right?

Carolyn: gawd

Carolyn: seriously

Carolyn: I’m only into the second month of that new med, so I’m wondering if this is all part of that maybe?

Wangie:: it could be...

Carolyn: yeah, i don't know. It is kind of awkward though, working in a company mostly of men!

...

Wangie: well, stop rubbing your nipples on them then!

And that, my friends, is why she's awesome!

Sleeping With the Lights On

Though I've been haunted by this old ghost before
I want to hear your voice you know it's been so long
Like a dancing wave you balance on the shore
It would feel so good to see your face again

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

We both understand we've got no way back
Our love was strange in a strange land
We got broken wings we were bound to fall
Until the sun comes up you can hold my hand

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

Take it easy, take it slow
Let's just watch the tides they grow
The wind is coming from the side
We are sleeping in the light

Feel like waking up in your house some day
Or eating of your hand like a bird astray
But nothing's gonna change, we'll still be the same
We've said what's to say, nothing's buried nowhere

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

Sleeping With the Lights On; Teitur

Back from the Land of Oz!

I just got back from spending 5 days, yes FIVE WHOLE DAYS (and nights), in the city of Sin! Las Vegas, Nevada people!!!

Oh! My! God!

It was a trip of a lot of firsts, some seconds, and some consecutive firsts AND seconds.

First time in Vegas.
First time in a casino.
First time where my dinner cost more than $75/person
First time in a limo.
First time at a strip club.
First time getting a lap dance...followed by my second ever lap dance.

It was an amazing vacation! Truly, one for the books...but I'm probably not going to post much about it, because you know what they say...

But I WILL say that on the flight out there, Roommie found (and forced me to buy) the most perfect t-shirt ever to wear.

One that said, "I Feel a Sin Coming On."

If that was a sign? I have no fucking clue what would have been!

Best! Birthday! Ever!

I know some might have been waiting a while for this post, and I'm sorry to leave you hanging...no rest for the weary. But yes, as you've seen in this posting's title: I have had the best birthday ever (to date!)!!!


Friday night was the most amazing birthday bar night! I was so excited by those that made it, I really couldn't have asked for a better group of friends. And everyone was a sport about the fact that I didn't divulge the surprise that the bar turned Karaoke at 9pm. I tried to goad Charlie into singing "Like a Virgin" after he swore he was going to steal my red patent leather fuck-me pumps (get your own, beotch!), but thanks to Fish who sang "Sweet Caroline" and graciously changed the lyrics to "Sweet Carolyn!" You rock! Oh yeah, and a special many thanks to those that endured my god-awful, horrible rendition of the Chick's song at the end of the night when i was left with no voice! Rockstar on the inside? Oh yeah! Rockstar on the outside? Not so much!


And by the time I got home somewhere around 2:45am, I'm surprised I didn't wake the neighborhood with my shrieks of delight! As if Friday couldn't get any better with my international phone call...I was dead wrong. The one-up? An international package!!! Yeaup, my man across the seas sent me a birthday present! Three birthday presents actually!


*sigh* :)


I haven't had my feet touch the ground yet! I've been hanging out over here on Cloud 9!


On Saturday, I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed and met The Artist for lunch, which was fab! He bought me beautiful flowers and lunch itself was delish, having started out with mimosa's! And Saturday night was me, Moosie, Roommie and Wangie for some Balls of Fury, dinner and Cake! Oh...the wonderful, delicious cake which can be seen here as a true work of art! Yes, those are firemen...oh, so appropriate! Thanks Roommie, the cake kicked ass AND provided breakfast for the next two days, too! :) Honestly, is there any way better to start your day than having Breakfast Cake?!


Sunday was a lazy day, as was Monday, of doing nothing really other than laying on my couch and watching tennis...yummy tennis players!

And for those who have a quick gag reflex, you might want to skip this next part: Holland Boy has started signing his emails and IM's with "kiss" or "xx" or a funny emoticon of this panda bear giving a smooch! Part me just threw up a little in my mouth, and yet another part of me just went all gooey and squishy inside...yet another sign that it's time to hit the gym again!

And that about sums it up in a nutshell. There may be little stories here or there, there may not be...I'm not really sure.
