my Man is a lesbian

or at least i thought he was last night - DAAAAYYYYYY-UM, Mister!!!!!

wink, wink, nudge, nudge.. BIG SMILE!

i need a nap

i think it's been about 5 years now that i have been getting on the average no more than 4-5 hours of sleep per night.. and on a few nights a week - even less.. sometimes just 3 hours.. eeeeeeeek!

it began with stressing over a very bad marriage.. i would force myself to stay up as a punishment(who was i punishing: me? him?) - then after a period of time, it became habit.. i then became addicted to chatting on the internet, and would stay up all night chatting and playing canasta online.. then when i met my gorgeous guy, we started staying up together into the wee hours because we enjoy each other's company so much.. it doesn't help that we are both night owls..

it makes for big ol'ouchies when the alarm goes off at 545am..

i really don't think i am alone.. an NBC Today Show poll shows that nearly half of Americans say they don't get enough sleep, and roughly one-quarter get fewer than 6 hours a night..

SIX HOURS??? what's that? you could call me rip van winkle if i got that much in a night!!

they go on to say that never before have work and play stolen more hours from the sandman - between a global economy that demands increased productivity and a technology-fueled entertainment machine that provides non-stop diversions, it's a wonder people get any rest at all...

i can relate -- although i have a job that i fortunately don't bring home with me, i am caught in the trap of the entertainment machine, plus i just love spending the evening with family.. it's amazing to me how slowly the work day drags by, when the evening zips by and it's midnight and later before we even know it.. there's just too much fun stuff to do at night -- dinner, tv, talking, feeding the Miko (Doug's cute little sugar glider), and of course, sex..

what to do then to keep up? getting more rest, of course, is the answer.. but i swear to you, we try hard to get to bed at a decent hour.. but it rarely happens..

one cool solution i found online is something called metronaps .. there are only a couple of cities now that offer this alternative to sleep deprivation.. these are super cool sleep pods where one can purchase passes to take naps during the day.. too bad there isn't something like this where i live, or probably where you live either..

another solution, called the 'polyphasic' system, is not for everyone - in fact, i bet it's not for hardly anyone.. the polyphasic sleep routine - sleeping for 20-minute stretches once every four to six hours, around the clock - is a bit extreme.. steve pavlina, who practices this, says for the first three weeks he was "pretty cranky, but now I'm just fantastic" .. he even says he is rested.. he sleeps a total of about three hours a day.. he sleeps on the sofa, while his wife sleeps through the night in the bed.. he says that during his odd routine, he gets lots done, including baking in the middle of the night and serving as the family watchdog while the rest of the household sleeps.. analysts say they aren't sure about this, citing that there could be health implications on down the line, and adds that the best approach remains "getting in a good six to eight hours between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m."..

yeah, right..

of course, there is always alcohol or sleeping pills.. we definitely drink, and yes, it can make you pass out, but it's the fun we have while we are drinking that keeps us awake! we still pass out very very late..

i guess i will just keep on with my crazy sleep schedule.. hitting the sheets about 130a-230a every night, listening for the 545a alarm, and dragging myself out of the bed about 630a.. i can't really complain - it's a good life.. fun, family, tequila, rum, "24", "Lost", movies, karaoke at Bleachers, and sex!

as my mom always said: "you can always sleep when you die"



there ya go...

a silly question...

i know february is "black history" month - and that is awesome, great, wonderful, definitely something worthwhile and thought-provoking, and i am all for it... but can someone tell me, cause i'm sorta forgetting: which month is "white history" month? 'cause i sorta would like to celebrate that, too..

just was wonderin' ......

love is in the air

i really just have to be the luckiest, most blessed, "omg what did i do right to deserve this" girl in the world.. i just spent four wonderful DAYS-O-LOVE with my sexy man, and i am still in la-la land..

we both had monday and tuesday off, and since it was our weekend with no kiddos, we had the "Doug and traci's extendo weekend of fun".. we packed it full of shopping, movies, karaoke, eating, sleeping, and of course, spiced it up with some DAYYYYYY-UM good sex!!

we saw "capote" saturday afternoon.. it was a really good movie, and i thought philip seymour hoffman was brilliant as truman capote.. we went to the angelika film center in plano - one of the best theaters in the dallas area, in my opinion - and had yummy pahcorn.. then we went to razzoo's for a wonderful lunch/dinner.. this was the place we celebrated our 1st valentine's day together three years ago, so it was especially sentimental to go back and remember that fun date back in 2002... we laughed at how after dinner and a movie ("daredevil") on that night, we made out in the parking lot - his fingers played with my panties making me so incredibly wiggly, and then we got a little crazy in the car until a cop passed by our car.. i sang to him for the first time ("a, you're adorable" and "my funny valentine") - definitely a fun, hot memory.. ;)

saturday night we went to karaoke, and had a blast.. totally got toasted on our favorite bar drink - tequila shots! we had fun with friends, and then when we got home, Doug pushed me into the bedroom and just about raped me.. LAWD he is HOT!!!! the sex was urgent and hard and deep and fast..

we did a lot of window shopping all weekend as well.. and Doug got a sexy black cowboy hat.. he looks sooooooooo good in a hat.. and we both bought several movies.. we watched a couple of our new movies ("goodfellas" and "hannibal" - we still have more to watch!) while snuggin on the sofa together on sunday and monday nights.. Doug built us a nice fire, and both evenings were spent alone together, close and warm..

on valentine's day we had lunch at our place, chipotle, and did some browsing at barnes and noble.. we went to hallmark and bought our kids some presnents (jes, i misspell that word allllllllll the time).. i went back to my place before dinner so Doug could spend Daddy-time with his kids.. i went back to his place a little after 8pm, and we all visited and watched some tv.. his middle daughter, who is 14, gave me a gift - she made a painting of bright colors and partial outlines of heart doilies.. i was really deeply touched, and she came over and gave me a huge hug.. i can't tell you how that moved me, and how i am falling for his kids.. the younger daughter, 11 yrs old, gave me a big hug too.. i felt so accepted, and just so amazingly happy.. after they went home, Doug mentioned that his middle daughter had written on the back of the painting (i had missed that).. she wrote "i (heart) you".. and wow, i was just floored.. i wasn't expecting that, but i was so thrilled about it.. definitely a happy moment..

at the end of the evening, Doug and i went back to my place for our private celebration of heart's day.. after getting ready for bed, we played a sex game together, and it was really fun.. it started with a little game of truth or dare.. we both actually did all the dares instead of wimping out in telling a truth (except we didn't do the last one which instructed us to get up and do a sexy dance to music - we didn't have any music in the bedroom - need to remedy that soon)..

one of his dares was to tell me a fantasy he has, and it was HOT, involving me and him and a girl we know from karaoke.. definitely wish that one could come true, but i have tried hitting on this girl, and she isn't bi.. but that is something i can certainly work on with another girl maybe..

the game progressed from truth or dare to a board game, and we did a couple of things.. but then decided to move on to the main event.. we were both ready after the fun teasing and suggestions of the game..

i don't know how he does it, but every time we are together sexually, it just gets better and better.. last night was so intense.. he had me in several positions, each with its own yummy feelings.. he had me almost there when he was behind me, and i just was going crazy feeling how huge he was inside me.. we both had amazing orgasms, and afterwards fell asleep in each other's arms (we always snuggle after)..

i will never be able to express in words how amazing this man is -- not just sexually - and let me tell you - he IS AMAZING in bed.. but this man is unlike any other man on the planet.. he is thoughtful of me at all times.. he loves to play with my hair EVERY DAY.. he is so loving and funny and smart and creative and so in control.. physically, he is gorgeous - with deep blue eyes, a killer smile, long sexy hair, and a bod that doesn't quit - big chest, big arms, and big, well YOU KNOW.. but he is even more beautiful on the inside.. and it is amazing, but he LOVES me!! i want to spend every day of my life making him thankful he is with me, because that's how he makes me feel - so blessed that he has chosen ME.. i want this man to be happy, content, excited to be US.. i want him to always be glad that he is with me..

so tonight when we are together after work, i will hug and kiss him and ask how his day was.. and i will be with him in whatever way he desires.. and i will continue to show him love and affection, i will do what he asks, and i will make him smile..

and once again, i will make sure he knows that he is the most important man in the universe..

c'mon baby, light my fire

happy valentine's day to all

but especially to you, my one and only!

let me lend a hand, dave!

darlin, if you need some help with that, let me know...

i tell ya, i would love my man and i to be between the two of them.. wow!
