From January 2005
Over heard in a bar...

Two middle aged ladies sitting at the next table. I over heard one say to the other "My husband and I are into S&M. He sleeps and I masturbate!" I damn near spit my drink across the table.

Wow!

Thursday evening was supposed to be a nice quiet even at home for me. Ron had to work, Eeny was out with his girlfriend, Meeny was quietly working on a craft project in her room and Fred was out with his friends. I settled at the computer to chat, something I don't get to do very often. All was going well until Eeny returned home early, in full gale force. No hurricane can ever match the erratic patterns of a 17 yr old. He's upset, needing to talk, so I naturally said good night to those online. I won't bore you with the details but it basically came down to a boy needing his mom. After some yelling on both our parts and some tears on his part, he finally admitted he still needed my help figuring things out! Oooo surprise! What about college, which one, what major and is moving in with the girlfriend after graduation REALLY a good idea?

About 5 minutes after I got him calmed down and worked out a few answers for him the phone rang. It's my mom, she doesn't feel "right" and wants me to come stay the night at her apartment. I asked a few questions and the only thing she'll say is that she thinks she might have had a stroke and doesn't want to be alone. (ACKK!) Out of my jammies and in to real clothes and out the door.

When I got to Mom's she was in bed and a neighbor had come to sit with her. She's not showing any signs of a stroke but it's obvious something isn't right. She is almost in tears and begs me to stay the night (I do) and promises to call the doc first thing the next morning (She does). I don't sleep all night, just listen in case she stops breathing, wondering if it's time for me to step up and take over.

Friday morning at the hospital an ER doc finally tells her that she will be dead in a few years if she doesn't lose weight. I know it's hard for her to hear but I'm so glad someone besides me finally said it to her. She's 400 pounds and it's got her whole body messed up. Low oxygen, electrolytes completely out of whack, high blood pressure, the whole works! We're trying to talk her into gastric bypass surgery. It's risky but dammit she's dying the way she is now.

It's Monday and I'm at work. It's gotten to the point coming here is the only peace I have.

I stumbled on to this test while webwandering so I though I'd kill some time and take it. I'm surprised and a little disconcerted by the accuracy .

Color Quiz

Your Existing Situation
Active, but feels that insufficient progress or reward is being made for the effort exerted.

Your Stress Sources
Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the herd. This desire for preeminence isolates her and inhibits her readiness to give herself freely. While she wants to surrender and let herself go, she regards this as a weakness which must be resisted. This self-restraint, she feels, will lift her above the rank and file and ensure recognition as a unique and distinctive personality.

Your Restrained Characteristics
Circumstances are forcing her to compromise, to restrain her demands and hopes, and to forgo for the time being some of the things she wants.
Clings to her belief that her hopes and ideas are realistic, but needs encouragement and reassurance. Applies very exacting standards to her choice of a partner and wants guarantees against loss or disappointment.
Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation.

Your Desired Objective
Longs for a tender and sympathetic bond and for a situation of idealized harmony. Has an imperative need for tenderness and affection. Susceptible to anything esthetic.

Your Actual Problem
Greatly impressed by the unique, by originality, and by individuals of outstanding characteristics. Tries to emulate the characteristics she admires and to display originality in her own personality.

A Thought

I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don't mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, all that I am capable of doing but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.~ Anais Nin

Happy New Year!

I've heard people talk about being alone in a crowd but I've never experienced it until Friday night. Ron and I went out for New Years with Bob and Lori to a local "male members only" club. One of those places with animal or tribal names where the ladies have an "auxiliary" and the men call each other brother. I sat at our table surrounded by friends. We all talked and drank. The band played and I danced to a few fast songs. . It made me sad watching the couples dance together. I've always heard that what you're doing when the new year begins is how the rest of your year will go.
