The "How Are You Doing" Thread (redux)

Kind of looking forward to tomorrow night, kind of not. We're going to secondary's to spend the evening with his family. His male partner is not a good drunk and I don't enjoy being around people who are drunk.

Doesn't help that they're our ride home .

Hmmmm, maybe this time we'll just tie or tape him to a kitchen chair and put a very long straw to the glass of water he'll be allowed, which we'll keep refilling with water? Maybe we'll just keep the games going so he won't have time to think about alcohol? I know! I'll just force feed him my banana pudding which will leave NO room for anything else .

As usual! Same old frustrations, so I won't bore ya with the details. To clear the head went for a walk, and then went out with the hubs and kids Sunday night to see We Bought A Zoo. It was a good kick in the pants to jumpstart the commitment to be happy this year and find passion in life. Here's to 2012 being a defining year. As I said on NYD- #1 resolution...My Happy will be too loud!

I've been having a great month and good things just seem to be continuing.

Had XmasDay with my son and miss pixi, dinner and we went to see Hugo in 3D.

Last week I saw my two other SOs back to back. The Gentleman came over Thursday evening, dinner, sex, sleeping over. Then Friday I drove up to The Hottie's place for the first time. He'd cleared the day for me. I got there at 3pm. Amazing Sex, then a sunset drive around his lovely seaside town, home for a pasta dinner, a DVD, talking, more incredible sex/kink and a final cigarette on his deck... he has a huge wool cloak and wrapped us both up in it, put his arm around me... and I saw a shooting star. I was welcome to sleep over, but I didn't have time, so regretfully left around 8.

When I got home, I chatted online with miss pixi and The Gentleman. He told me he loved me for the first time... I knew it! But it was nice to hear.

miss pixi and I had a nice quiet romantic weekend and NYE, good snacks and cuddles.

Now, I've got another guy interested in me, he seems great too! I'll call him the Ginger, he's 59 but has bright auburn wavy hair to his shoulders and a ginger and grey beard. He's married, poly, and an old hippie like me. Full of energy and really seems eager to meet me. We're having a date at an art gallery on Friday.

Haven't been on in a while; my laptop's motherboard got knocked loose 2 days before Christmas, so it is out for repairs. Other than that, things are going well. I'm picking up a decent amount of hours at my part time job, waiting to hear about an interview for another one. Yesterday, Runic Wolf, Wendigo, and I spent most of the day down in the workshop. Yoda was home from school, so Wendigo and I snuck in some kisses every so often when he was upstairs playing video games or otherwise harassing Runic Wolf when he decided to take a break. With his help, I was able to get almost all of my velvet cut for my new Tudor era dress. Later, when we discovered the snow and stranded friends meant no game night and Yoda had gone to bed and Runic Wolf was checking his e-mail upstairs, Wendigo asked me to check in with Runic Wolf before we started fooling around. After getting the green light, Wendigo reduced me to a quivering pile of goo. Yay for post new years sex. Today my back is sore, but its a good sore. Tonight is date night with Runic Wolf and I'm looking forward to curling up on the couch and watching our favorite show together.

Feeling all sorts of giddy. Got invited on a "girls only" trip to southern Utah (lodging is free and gas is optional) and my vacation time from work was approved. Nearly a week of skiing and sightseeing...

Remember: LOTS of boning. Steel is best, wide plastic zip/cable ties also work really well and are easy to adjust to fit. I found the biggest trick was the actual waist placement. If it feels too high, it's probably right (about 2-4" above where pants sit, not talking about the hip huggers either).

I will definitely be using steel for the corset part of the undergarments, but I was was planning on using something lighter for the dress itself just so I won't be wearing alot of extra weight.

My boyfriend's mom is coming to see him (she lives several hours away). He wants me to meet her tonight. Having mixed feelings about that. His dad has not exactly made me feel welcome, and has spread rumors throughout his family about his son.

I'm not taking any of it personally, but I feel bad for my boyfriend for having to put up with it. I'm just going to try to start with a blank slate when I meet his mom, and follow his lead as to what to say/not say.

Packing for Dubai. I'll be there for a month ! I am going to miss my lil boy tons, he's only 7. I'll miss my wife, too of course. (and the cats!)

Luckily, my boss approved a weekend at home in between, so it'll be 2 stints of 2 weeks each.

Ive enrolled on a self-study Science course with university course to keep me occupied.

Extremely nervous in a good way.

I've been conversing with a woman on OKC for a couple months now (thought it was only a couple weeks but its actually been a couple months!!) and we're both going to be at the same event tonight so we're going to meet for the first time.



Yep, nervous as all hell :O
