Its the little things in life….

Is there any felicity in the world such as finding a small chore unexpectedly done for you without someone being asked?   Turning about and seeing that someone has spontaneously cleared the table?   Pulled in the laundry?  Emptied the dishwasher and put all the clean dishes away?  Discovering someone else made your bed in the morning….

Nope…  that’s some of the good stuff, and it often goes overlooked.

“Thanks, I appreciate it.”   ๐Ÿ™‚

BTW – If a man empties a dishwasher and doesn’t break any dishes…. did it really happen?  ๐Ÿ˜‰

Commute

Feels like it’s been quite busy so far this week, I went to Straddie on Saturday and then worked Sunday and today, so I feel a bit like I didn’t get any down time this past weekend. I’m working days this week, and it feels really really strange to be running out the door at 7am and fighting through peak hour traffic. It has been taking about 15-20mins to get to town over the last month or so of starting work at 3pm or 4pm, so now having to allow over an hour to get to work kinda sucks. I hate being stuck in stop start traffic… and one of the worst things about the morning commute is the necessity of having to flick on some shitty breakfast radio program to hear a traffic report. How amazingly banal is breakfast radio these days??? I realize I haven’t really tuned in for years.. but the 10 mins I copped this morning is more than enough to do me for another few years.

So other than bitching about commuting to work (could be much much worse…. i could be on a BCC bus!!!) I’m busy getting ready for my trip to Turkey this week. I leave next Tuesday. And I’m very excited!!!   But even though I can’t wait to go….. I am starting to think that five weeks away might be a bit too long… I’m going to miss my boys way too much!  ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Minty Fresh Cock Breath!

I heard the most fantastic story last night…. and laughed so hard, my face was aching ๐Ÿ™‚

A friend of mine was telling me that he recently had a liaison (I use the term loosely) with his current little fuck buddy.  He calls her that cos they’re friends of a sort, but they are definitely not in a romantic relationship… they just get together from time to time to shag… as you do.  Anyway, he met up with her the other night and tells me that everything was pretty ‘normal’ until there was a ‘condom incident’. Upon enquiry I discovered that he’d accidentally pulled out of his condom stash… a condom that has some mild desensitizing effects – it’s slightly thicker than normal and has some sort of  strange menthol stuff in it and they’re designed to give a guy a bit of extra endurance (slamming indictment right there that he owns some in the first place!!!)    And then he gave me a rather animated run down on how he often has trouble getting off when he’s with this girlie anyway, cos he’s just not that ‘into’ her in the first place….. and now here he was wearing a condom designed to stop a guy from ‘going off’ too soon!  Which I thought was kinda funny…

So apparently, he didn’t realize what sort of condom he had picked up at the time and then he told me about how he ‘couldn’t get off and was doing her for so long that the fuckin’ thing started to get a bit loose’, so he decided to get a fresh condom…. which of course meant a second application of the densensitizing goo!!  So I’m trying real hard to be sympathetic, but mostly I’m trying not to laugh too much and thinking … it serves you right for shaggin’ someone you’re not that attracted to in the first place just cos they’re there and it’s on offer!  The poor bugger ‘stays on the job’ for about 40 mins from what I understand, at which point, his hapless victim cries off for being too sore, and offers to finish him off  ;)….. which I think is overly generous of her under the circucmstances….  and now we’ve got this poor girl on her knees trying her hardest to over come his slightly numb and now slightly travel worn appendage until she eventually begs off from that too, saying her lips are going numb….  but strangely minty fresh!  LOL

And after the recounting was done… I’m left looking at my friend who is wearing a rather hang dog expression and hoping for some empathy cos he never ‘got his end away’ and all I can do is laugh in his face!!!  No doubt there’s a few lessons in this for everyone… but all I can think of right now is his own rather dry assessment of the situation – that being told you have cock breath may not always be an insult!

Amazon dot com

Don’t cha just love Amazon!?!?

Ordinarily the answer to that would be – “Yeah sure”…. but right now… I’m a bitย  “Mehย  ๐Ÿ˜ ” on the subject.ย  I ordered a book from them a while back, and I admit, I keep forgetting about it… until I get an email in my inbox telling me that it’s still not available and that I need to update my order if I still want my order kept in the system.ย  Each time I dutifully click on the link, sign in and then get a renewed delivery date.

The book itself is not that special – The V&A’s Textile Collection by Santina Levey and Donald King and I can see no reason why Amazon still don’t have it in stock considering its I could get it from the online V&A bookshop?!?!ย  The only difference is that from Amazon the advertised price when I ordered it was US$15.95 and from the V&A approx ยฃ19.99.ย ย  Which given current exchange is the difference between AUD$20 and about AUD$60.

So I get another email today from Amazon asking me if I still want this book, and I think sure – here we go again… so I look back through my records and notice that original order was placed on Aug 18th 2006.ย ย  No wait!ย  That was the original estimated delivery date… so it must have been ordered even earlier than that……..ย  grrr… think I may as well kiss this one off….ย  i reckon this would have really been pissing me off over the last year if it weren’t for the fact that I have had someone else’s copy of it this whole time !ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

embroidery book out of print

We didn’t get dead, but…

I nearly killed us the other night….  ๐Ÿ™

Literally.  I can’t stop thinking about it now.  We were on our way home from work, and it was late, after midnight, as we’ve been doing evening shifts for the last month and a half.  Anyway, I pulled up at the red lights at the Gabba, there was quite a bit of traffic even though it was late… it’s always a pretty busy area there as you come off the freeway…. which so far is sounding all pretty normal.  But then for some reason, while I was stopped at the lights…I was watching the lights at intersection ahead of the one that I was stopped at turn green…..and ….. without thinking…. drove off….. across the intersection…. even though the lights were still red.   ๐Ÿ˜

I can’t explain it.   I just wasn’t paying attention.  I was just too tired.  Obviously shouldn’t have been driving at all, but what can you do?  I’ve been drinking V and taking NoDoze most of last week to get through my shifts, as I’m just not someone who can survive on little sleep for weeks on end…. or maybe half the problem stems from not getting decent sleep because of my stupid back even when I do manage to get enough hours of sleep  :S  I dont know… but I think I need to do something about it…… before I quite literally kill us on the way home.   ๐Ÿ™

After much begging and scrounging, I’ve got some earlier shifts next week so I hope that a few early nights helps….   :S
