Magic in the A.M.

Although it's uncomfortably cold at 5:30 am and I'm so layered in hoodies I look like an Eskimo, I love it when I walk my dog and notice the grass glistening with iced dew.  With the silent streets, the chill in the air and the grass sparkling as the street lights shine on them, it feels like magic.

I Don't Know What People Are Talking About

People tell me that I don't look old enough to have a twenty-three year old daughter but I look in the mirror and all I see are the ravages of time. I feel old. Especially this week. It's been a very brutal week. Stress, stress and more stress. I believe it was Tuesday or Wednesday night that I woke up at 12:30 a.m. with major lower back and stomach pains. I couldn't lay down comfortably in any position, sitting up was also impossible. I took a couple of extra strength Tylenols and an hour later it dulled the pain enough for me to get back to sleep. And then for the rest of the week the pain in my lower back has persisted. Even now as I sit here typing I feel it. Maybe I need to start doing yoga again. I don't know...

I Really Did Try

Back on October 1st I swore to myself that I would really try this holiday season to not indulge too extravagantly, to stay on the straight and narrow, workout regularly and stick to a tight budget.  Well it is now December 15th and I'd say I did indulge (several times, I must have gained 100 lbs I'm sure), stepped off the beaten path here and there, worked out sporadically and blew my budget out of the water, to my boyfriend's chagrin.  I'm glad the season is almost over but I can't say I didn't enjoy the lunches, dinners, shopping and parties because I did...immensely!  The one thing I've been consistent with is not smoking...hooray!  I'm really proud of myself for that.  I do still have some shopping left to do but not a whole lot, to my boyfriend's relief...hehehe....  The year is starting to wind down and I'm already thinking about my New Year's Resolutions.  This year I'm happy to say I accomplished one of my resolutions, which is a first.  It's time to set new goals for 2012.

My Aphrodisiac

As I lean in to kiss him, I inhale his familiar scent. The scent of Irish Spring, Armani, cigarettes and whiskey on the skin of the man I love, for me, will always and forever be an aphrodisiac.

I Don't Mean to Offend But...

So, I read an article today, probably on Yahoo somewhere, I can't really remember exactly where I saw it.  You know how cyberspace works...we flip through millions of information a day between that and actual work by the time you get home your brain is exhausted.  Anyways, back to the main topic, I read that scientists did a study on college students to find out how many times realistically do men and women think about sex.  They found that the men thought about sex over 300 times a day while the women thought about sex around 140 times a day.  Huge difference!  Well then that got my brain thinking back on an asian anime that I watched a year or so ago, I'm sure it was rated R.  Well, this particular anime was majorly gory, I couldn't watch the entire series but I do remember clearly this one episode where a woman was being guarded because she committed some sort of offense and because she was miserable she wasn't eating enough and had lost a lot of weight.  The two guards guarding her were talking about her weightloss and made a comment that she was so thin that when she bends over while bathing they can see her butth--e and that it was so unattractive.  I was like "Really?".  So of course you know what I had to do, don't you?  I went over to my wall mirror and bent over...hahaha...and was relieved to find that I had enough junk in my trunk...hahaha...  So back to men thinking about sex over 300 times a day...I wonder if one of those times during the day if that particular thought passes through their brain?  Well, as for me, if us women think about sex 140 times a day, I'd say that thought has crossed my mind today about 10 times already.  And when I see an especially thin woman my mind wonders.....hmmmm....
