I’m going back to camp :)

Taken from the DO website:

Imagine a vacation which brings together sexuality, spirituality, education, and play in a fun, diverse environment where fantasy becomes reality.

Dark Odyssey: Summer Camp 2008, a journey of sexual exploration for the spiritual and creative sex-positive communities returns for its sixth year. It will be held at a secluded, two hundred acre retreat in Northern Maryland. Our mission is to cross-pollinate ideas and concepts between groups of individuals who desire to explore different areas of alternative sexuality.

I can hardly wait to see old friends, get away from my job and fuck my brains out! :) Yippee!!

Butterflies!!

This past Saturday, Seraphin and I went to the Eighth Annual Butterfly Festival from 12 to 4pm at the Watershed Reserve in NJ.

This year there weren’t many types of butterflies but I still took a lot of pictures and had a great time at the visitor center and the various ‘green’ booths.

It always strikes me as weird that Lady Bugs, Butterflies and Fireflies don’t gross me out but every other type of bug makes me squeal. For instance, at the Festival, there was an Insect Zoo and one of the attractions was Madagasgar Hissing Cockroaches. Eeeewwwwww! Those suckers are huge and they scurry/scuttle just the way the german ones do but they are huge!!! (shudder)  

Am I really that yappy?

Ugh… I can’t believe it!
What dog breed are you? I'm a Chihuahua! Find out at Dogster.com

Boundaries

It seems that I am taking on too much (again) and the pressure is so much that I’m letting things slip. I lost my glasses, forgot my keys, left my phone charger behind, and the list goes on.

I talked to a few people about it and it looks like I need to cut back in order to regain some balance. That means I’m going to be saying No a lot more often. Not to you, my fans and online friends - I have already cut back here so much that any more would be like walking away and I’m just not going to do that. So who will bear the brunt of my new limits? Good question. I’m still mulling that one over.

Oh, and last weekend I was in Arizona visiting my grandparents. It was really nice but not quite long enough.

Nothing else for now - Need to get to bed so I can wake for work in the morning. <hugs>

F*cked up day

Today was just terrible. If we could go back and erase it, I’d be a happy girl.

There were massive layoffs at my job today. A lot of people I thought of as friends are gone - just gone - and that makes me sad.

Things aren’t going well for Flagg and that makes me very sad.

How’s that song go? “If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling.” Yeah, I’d trade a whole forest for my friend if I could.

(hugs)

“What ever happened to committment?”

That’s the tag line for some car commercial currrently running during prime time. I don’t know what to say about it, except that it’s a really good question in today’s instant-gratification-mtv-culture. <shrugs>

Happy New Year & Welcome to 2008!

Another Quick Recap:

  • I got my webcam up and running this past weekend so ya’ll MIGHT be seeing more of me (during evenings and weekends) at some point.
  • I’m rejoining my old gym next week with plans to actually use the swimming pool this time.
  • I’d like to get back in touch with those people I let drift in my recent NRE. If you’re one of these people, know that I haven’t forgotten about you entirely and try not to be too hard on me when I do get back in touch please.
  • I’m hoping to attend Dark Odyssey Winter Fire over Easter again this year.
  • I’m looking to buy a new car this Spring, but I don’t know what kind yet.
  • I’m planning to buy a residence of some sort (condo, townhouse, semi-detached, single family, etc.) in Northern NJ sometime in early 2009.
  • Pretty much across the board, my relationships are a lot of constant maintainance and hard work, but rewarding.
  • Nermal, our grey & white cat, hurt his leg (probably while taunting the dogs) and might need surgery. How do you convince a cat that he needs bed rest?! I’ll know more in two weeks.
  • Thankfully, my day job is going much better. I didn’t realize how draining it is to hate going work! Lucky for me, my boss likes me and is working with me to make my situation more than just tolerable.

Quick recap

Has it really been 6 weeks since my last post? I’m sorry! Here’s a quick recap:

  • Things are going really well with my girlfriend, Daddy and Kimi.
  • Work still sucks but I love the paycheck so I’m sticking it out for now.
  • I’m planning to take the GMAT exam in the Spring - wish me luck in my studies!
  • My wonderful zoo is doing a great job keeping me sane.
  • Yesterday, I had my first massage in over a year and it was simply divine! I have to do that more often!!
  • Tuesday night, Daddy is giving a class at TES on Kidnapping. You know I’ll be there :)

Heading to work

Friday, I got to see my favorite artist with my girl and her family before curling up beside her gorgeous body.

Saturday was a wonderful, sleep-filled treat - first with my girl, then with my Daddy.

Yesterday, I spent all day with my zoo.

I am ready to face the week.

Blunders and weekend plans

My class at TES on BDSM Blunders went really well last night. Thanks to all who attended and participated. It was especially nice to have my Daddy, Sister and Girlfriend all supporting me.

This weekend will be busy in NYC with all the NYLW and PolyNYC events going on, but I’ll be home watching movies, catching up on e-mails, looking for a house to rent and playing with my dogs.
