On a whim, I sat down and began sifting through all the previously mentioned posts. There are now 66 in the trash and probably another 120 that have been resurrected. I think I’m working backward, so most of whats been added transpired just before I met James on backward. Four years worth of stuff, all told. It’ll be interesting to see how much of the rest make it into the light of day.

740
All told, I have 740 posts here now. 500 of them are in the process of being dusted off and sifted through before being re-released into the wild. Many won’t make it (they’re being siphoned off to other places) but still…it’s an impressive number.
I’m seriously considering a good fuck or three next week (‘vacation’), to see if it’ll help get me over whatever hangup I still have. And maybe a bit of vindication. I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit still and hold my breath waiting for James. But, of course, since I’m looking forward to it, it won’t go anywhere near like I want it too.
I can dream, though!

Oh Yeah…AND!
I swear I couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried.
My sister and I were discussing the whole grocery shopping thing. I think we were planning to do it when my brother in law got home. James and I were due to have a discussion about some stuff related to his career and I told my sister, half joking, to make sure I took a pen and pad because he’d call me just as soon as I walked out the door.
Plans ended up changing some and I took my munchkin to buy some clothes early in the day then went back much later, about nine – two hours after James was due off work (I think) to get some things for myself. I got the munchkin down, donned my shoes, grabbed my stuff and walked out the door. I was dodging sprinklers and heard what I assumed was me ‘butt’ (pocket) dialing. I grabbed it quickly and saw what I thought was an outgoing call so I hit End. Just as my thumb touched down, I saw it was James, calling in. Oops!
I walked back in the door and looked at my sister, showing her my phone.
And you thought I was playing!

Holy COW
So I’ve been pretty lazy. It took me all weekend to fold the majority of my clothes. I laid my t-shirts to the side because I actually have to sit down to fold them (thanks to the ex/hubby). I still haven’t folded them, so any t-shirt I have that’s clean is out in the living room.
Tonight I got out of the shower with the lil one, got her dressed, and went to dress myself. I said ’uh oh, all my shirts are out in the living room!’ The lil one goes running for the door and yanks it open. I laugh and tell her to get me a shirt.
Mind you, this kid is two years old. Honestly, I didn’t think she’d do it.
She came back in a moment later with a shirt.
And pants.
And panties.
And they were all mine!
I came back out into the living room, looked at my mom, and asked if she’d helped the lil one. She looked at me funny, so I told her what she did. No way. Yeah. No WAY! Yeah.
Just…damn. I’m in trouble.

Eeep!
So we have a cat next door. He’s a fat one, too.
One night I was sitting outside smoking a cigarette and saw this mass of fur moving down the driveway. We’d seen a raccoon lurking in a tree not too long before, so I got a lil nervous and had to turn the light on. It was just the cat out prowling.
I ended up being awake at 4:30 or so this morning, so I went out to smoke a cigarette and something similar happened.
I saw the mass of fur stop a few feet away from me and I said ’hey fat cat.’ I usually do that when I see him. He moved a bit closer to get to the oyster cooler and started licking at the drain. I didn’t think much about it, took a couple of puffs of my cigarette. Next thing I know, this mass of fur is sitting up to look at me over the edge of the cooler and this mass of fur had a mask on it’s face.
’Oh, you’re not the cat are you?’ A freaking raccoon!
He looked at me a second longer, dropped back down and started rooting through the leaves. I figured he might run off, but he didn’t.
Having a wild animal less than 3 feet away from me might warrant a bit of concern but I was more curious than anything. I reached just inside the door and he flinched a bit when he heard the blinds clank on the door but he still didn’t run. I flipped on the light, he sat back on his haunches and looked at me again. They’re actually kinda cute.
He went back to rooting through the leaves, seeming not to pay me much mind.
Paranoia got the better of me, so I put my cigarette on the ledge and went inside for a few seconds. I stepped back out and he decided it was time to move on so I flipped the light off and finished my cigarette, keeping a good eye on the direction he came from.
That was fun.
