My mother has finally done it. She has pulled the trigger on her marriage. Today the camel's back is broken.
32 years.
I am happy that after many false starts it is going to happen. Suffice it to say that mom+dad=bad. Perhaps this will
Balance the equation. However I would be remiss if I didn't confess that a small part of me is scared. I mean, they are my parents. And they are both so very damaged that I fear for them.
So once again the game board shifts.
And I will adapt. But right now I'm feeling pretty crap!

I wanted to take a moment to comment on an absolutely amazing present I was given this Christmas. I was gifted with an amazing leather hood from Master Christopher. This is the first piece of leather that I have been presented and I am very humble and grateful. Thank you so much Master Christopher. I am honored.
I would have included a picture but my husband is closterphobic and won't try it on,e ven for a picture. So I will have to find a brave soul to model it for a photo shoot.
Again, Master Christopher, thank you. I appreciate the history of this piece and I will do my utmost to honor it.

Buy a cookie and take a stand for equality!
Well it's Girl Scout cookie time!
I got on here to do my normal schpeal for anyone who might be interested in ordering some delicious girl scout cookies. However this will be slightly different that my original intention.
See I posted to my fet page in case any kinksters wanted some yummy cookies and almost immediatly my friend Mynx got me hip to the "boycot" going down. You can read about it here but the short version is that there is a 7 year old transgendered girl who was admitted to Girl Scouts. This of course was unacceptable to a narrow minded christian biggot who has started an online boycot of girl scout cookies. ANyone want to guess where I fall on this issue?
The Girl Scouts have a policy of acceptance for all who identify as a girl, be they gay, straight, trans, queer, bi or anything else. If you are a girl and you want to scout then you are welcome. Unlike the bullshit Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts have consistently backed lesbian troop leaders even in the face of boycots and biggotry.
In the wake of this bullshit boycott, a counter boycott has sprung up. If you support equality and if, to borrow an idea from a pretty famous guy who will be celebrated tomorrow, you believe that noone should be judged except by their character, then give a thought to picking up a box of Girl Scout cookies. If you don't want to eat the cookies themselves then maybe take a page from the woman in the article and donate them to a local GLBQT center like Stonewall. In fact if you would like to donate cookies but dont' ahve a local youth center or gay rights center then I will also be acception donations and will donate it to our local center.
If you do want to order some delicious cookies, they cost $3.50 a box (a steal for the yumminess) and I will be taking orders for my kid until Jan 30th. After that I may be able to help you out, but it's best to get orders in by the 30th. Cookies are delivered the first week of March.

Happy New Year!
Well for the moment anyway. Because I am calling a mulligan on last night. A re-do is definitely in order. Luckily I don't hold holidays to the calendar date so a re-do is definitely do-able.
Here's what happened:
The stage was set. My daughter and I had a delightfully Girly day together. We did nails and talked about boys and whatnot. Then she went off to church for the burning bowl cermony and new year party. If you have never participated in a burning bowl ceremony it is an amazing ritual where you release negativities from your life through writing them down and then burning them. It can be highly transformative. It ha always been a family tradition to do one on New Years Eve. Plus the church does theirs on magicians flash paper so it's particularly badass! Afterward everyone goes next door for "The World Championship of Apples to Apples". Btw if you don't know what Apples to Apples is then you need to google it right now. They close the whole shabang out by toasting the new year w/sparkling cider at 10. They're old mostly. So off my kid went for a night she always looks forwar to. I sit down to relax.
Not to be.
See NYE is not a big deal to me. My husband always works both NYE and New Year Day. And he works eeeaarly! 5:30! Which means we stay up till12:01 and then hit the hay. We never get to go to a party and as this is a well known fact I don't get invited to them anymore.
No big deal as I wouldn't spend NYE with anyone but my partner. So we make do. he gets home about 8 ish we still have a great night. Sometimes we go out to dinner and/or a movie. This year we opted to stay in.
I had a thick steak marinating since Friday. I had a cute little outfit picked out, makeup at the ready so thy when he walked through the door I could be waiting with a perfectly seared steak (he likes his black around the edges ::shudder::), home made mashed potatoes, fresh peas, a cold can of Mt Dew and looking like an adorable housewife. We would then watch a movie while we ate his favorite meal. Afterward we would sip our champagne with fresh sliced strawberries and explore each others bodies until we barely had enough energy to raise our glasses totals our final sip after toasting midnight.
Yeah. That was the plan.
Instead I got a call from my husband around 4. The car is smoking. Why? Because whm we took it into the shop last week theyCHANGED TE WRONG HOSE! not the one that wasspitting antifreeze all over my engine block! Another one that didn't need to be changed! Plus we are still having problems from when they changed our fuel pump! Grrrr! Of course he is down in Westerville and our shop is in Mansfield. So I had to walk 2 very wet mile to my parents house to get my dads car. I had gotten all dressed up an dolled up but I think the effect was ruined by the time I got the car. Then I head down to his work just as he is getting off work. Instead of steak I was waiting with antifreeze. We then take the car to my uncles house which is not too far away. He confirms that the hose was not changes but doesnt offer to help (eventhough he is a mechanic). So We leave the car there over night. Just try to get a tow truck on NYE! I drive him home.
Jason now has a massive headache. He spent his lunch break and both regular breaks making calls about the car. Of course the shop can't look it till Monday. So he has to borrow my parents car to get to work Sun and Mon. Joy. Anyway he didn't eat all day. All12 hours in a hot allzheimers unit of a nursing home! So while he showered I cooked the food as quickly as I could. I had put the potatos on for a couple of hours in a crockpot hoping they would be soft enough. Nope. Sothe potatoes turned out badly. Thankfully the steak came out perfect! As did the peas. We had a reasonably good dinner. I let Jason choose the movie. He opted for V season 2, which he loves. We then get snuggly with our champagne.
Yeah.
It wa terrible! Tasted like it had been stored in a boiler. Ugh! Ended up making us both sick to our stomachs.
So no sex.
Do you understand why I am calling a mulligan? New Year Eve has been rescheduled for Monday night. I'm really excited for it!
Today however I am about to head off to go get the car towed. Joy!
To everyone I hope you had a wonderful NyE and I wish you bogong but happiness, good sex and I hope you win the fucking lottery! And remember if your NYE didnt go down as you would have liked, see you Moday!
