Hey Cowboy, are you in show business?
Then get your fwiggin feet off the stage! -- Funniest line evah! Tell me what movie it's from.
What made me think of it is that I intend to write that I AM TIRED! If you know the movie and the scene then you know why I thought of the movie and the scene.
I'm tired because it's been a busy and hot Saturday. We did get up late (late at least for us) for a change but we were up and out for breakfast at a local diner at 8:30AM. By 9:30 we had dropped off our son for 2 hours of tutoring in reading comprehension and the wife and I were off to A&P for weekly grocery shopping.
After an hour or so, the store took a sizable piece of our income for a weeks worth of groceries and we had them put away at home. Next stop was to pick up the boy from the tutor.
While waiting for the boy, the wife and I took a look at the inside and outside of the car and decided that a car wash would be the next stop.
By the time all of that was finished, we arrived home at about 12:30PM.
Following lunch (a nice, cool tuna/noodle salad) the three of us headed to our yard for a much needed major manicure of the hedges and lawn.
It was at least 90 degrees and about 40% humidity in the yard and I would have loved to postpone the yard work but the yard was looking more like a wild field then a well kept yard so it had to be done.
With my wife and son's help I finished it by 3:30PM. My clothes were soaked and stuck to my skin and I had finished three large (about 16 oz.) cups of ice water. I peeled off my clothes and jumped in the bath for a cooling and cleansing shower.
Now, I'm just sitting in my blessedly air conditioned living room, watching the Yankee game and the wife is napping on the couch next to me.
Our plans for the evening, besides vegging out, include a barbecue of fresh bratwurst, hot dogs and burgers; a couple of movies from Blockbuster; and maybe some hot summer sex for me and the wife after the boy goes to sleep.
As tired as I am, it has been a pretty good day.
If I could find a different job AND solve my financial issues then I would feel GREAT!
Hectic
It's been a hectic week for us. My son's hockey training for the upcoming season has started in earnest. This past Monday was his first team practice. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings we took him to a shooting/stick handling class coached by college coaches at a rink 25 miles from home. Today was reading comprehension tutoring for my little offspring.
And with the hot, sticky weather we've had (and it's getting worse) it's just been a tough week.
Next
It's mid to late July, it's about 90 degrees Farenheit in temperature with about 80% humidity outside. We've also had some monster summer storms too.
Yesterday, I thought we'd have to build an ark when it rained so hard. The rain started right before I left the office for my 10 minute walk to the subway. I have never had it rain that hard on my walk to the station since I started this job. My little, collapsible umbrella barely kept me dry from about my waist up (although the outer edges of my shoulders were wet). My shoes were soaked through to my socks and my pants were a bit more than damp.
After swiping my subway card and entering the platform I took a hand towel out of my bag to dry off a bit but the humid and very warm air in the barely ventilated station just made me sweat. I felt as if I just showered but without the fresh feeling.
Luckily, the train arrived quickly and as the doors opened I felt the chilled whoosh of the air conditioned car wash over my damp and hot body. Even better, the car was half empty and I was able to get a seat!
Two stops later and I am at the PATH station for the ride home to New Jersey. I boarded another blessedly air conditioned car and settled in for the 15 minute trip.
After I exited the PATH train, I ascended to street level and saw that it was raining like God was pissing on a flat rock. Up went my umbrella and I crossed the street to my bus stop.
Life was dealing me some breaks as the bus came in less than five minutes. I boarded (along with about 10 other people) and we were off...
...To wait in brutal traffic caused by serious flooding that closed almost all the major roads. A trip on that bus normally takes 30 minutes, but on Friday, with all the detours and traffic, it took a bit more than an hour. I finally got off the bus about 10 blocks from my house where my wife met me with the car and we went out for dinner since we were in no mood to cook.
The best part was that when I got home, I had to pump more than six inches of water out of my basement.
It was a wonderful day all around.
NEXT!
Day at the Fights
My wife and I had a nasty (at least for us) argument yesterday. We were out at the local supermarket doing the weekly grocery shopping and we came upon the water/soft drink aisle. My wife wanted to buy a few packs of bottled water and I wanted to voice my objections to bottled water to her. My objections stem from the fact that bottled water is no better than water from the tap (quite often, tap water is BETTER) in my area. I would not have stopped her from getting the water bottles but I wanted to remind her how I feel.
Now, I have to digress here. My wife, you see, is employed by the local municipal government as a Parking Enforcement Officer (a meter maid) and she walks the main streets of our town writing parking tickets 8 hours a day in all kinds of weather. And with the heat of summer at it's most sever lately, she is very sensitive to not having enough water. Oh, one other thing, for some weird reason, my wife does not like to drink tap water.
I guess she took my initial half joking comments seriously and exploded at me without letting me finish what I wanted to tell her. I just clammed up and I stood there with the cart as she walked away saying, "Fine, I won't buy any water then." I continued to stand there until she turned around at the end of the aisle yelling at me to "Come on, I don't need water." I waited a few more moments and then slowly pushed the cart up the aisle towards her.
She went on and on through out the rest of our grocery shopping while I refused to speak to her or just answered yes or no to questions. She even through stuff in the shopping cart, almost hitting me in the head once. When we got to check out I bagged while she unloaded and scanned our selections (we shop at an A&P that has self checkout). She would slam or throw the items onto the conveyor belt after she scanned them.
After we finished and she paid the bill, I began to push the cart towards the exit thinking she was behind me. In actuality, she was miffed that I did not take the receipt and handed it to our son who handed it to me. He and I headed for the door and as I reached it I realized she had gone out the other direction and was not with us.
I loaded the bags into the car and my son and I got in. After a few minutes I realized that she had left us there and walked home. So I started up the car and headed home.
After we got there and started to unload the car she walked up and mumbled something or other about why she walked home. I ignored her and my son and I carried the bags up to our kitchen. That's when the real fireworks started.
We argued for a good twenty minutes about the stupid water. All I wanted was her recognition that she was wrong to not listen to what I had to say. I fully admitted that she could have bought whatever water she wanted.
She eventually got to the point of insulting me and my family which is an indicator that she is very mad but running out of things to argue about. I had had enough at this point and screamed at her that she was just like her mother (definitely true by the way but when your husband says that it's bad). She then said "Why don't you leave and go live with your mother?" That's the last thing a wife should ever say to her husband by the way.
Next she started criticizing the fact that I was taking our son to a Yankees game that day. Now, I got the tickets for nothing from a friend and had planned to take the subway to the game so as to leave the car home for her. She harped that I should "go ahead and take the car, that's what you really want". That was never on my mind. It aggravated me so much that I took the tickets out from my wallet and said, "You know what, we'll stay home" and I went to tear the tickets up. She ran over to me and held my hands from tearing them up (I really would have, too). I shoved her away from me and she accused me of hitting her. Now, in the 11 years we have been together I have never, ever raised my hands to her. Not that I want a prize for it or anything, it's just not right for a man to hit a woman in my book. This is despite the fact that over the time we've been together she's hit me at least twice.
At this point the worst of the fight was over and she went in the living room and I stayed in the kitchen. She continued to throw out an occasional comment towards me and then dropped the A-Bomb of marital fights - "Maybe we should get a divorce". I can't stand this kind of comment and I had enough of the whole thing and went down to the car to get some peace and quiet. (I also had to bring up a couple of cases of Pepsi from the shopping trip.)
After 10 minutes or so, I got out of the car to get the cases and just then she came out of the house in tears and apologizing. I was still pissed off and I just ignored her and went back up to the house.
Eventually, I got our son ready to go to the game and checked the bus schedule so that we could catch the bus that runs right in front of our house to the train. The wife was originally going to give us a ride to the Path train and we would be on our own from there. I was pissed off enough that I did not even want to take the ride from her. I called for our son to tell him it was time to go and she said "Let me lock up and I'll meet you at the car." I told her "Nevermind, we'll take the bus." She tried arguing and I just took my son's hand and walked out towards the bus stop a block away. She followed us and then got in the car and pulled up by the bus stop and pleaded with me to get in the car, there was no way I was getting in that car. The bus came in a couple of minutes and we got on and headed for our day out.
As a side story here, part of the fun of going to an event in New York is the travel to it. The New York area is one big street theater and I never seem to tire of it. My son has not experienced it nearly enough and the trip to the "big ballpark in the Bronx" Saturday was an excellent opportunity for him to get some of that experience.
We really had fun on the trip and although it was very hot at the game it was a wonderfull day. We had a few hot dogs, some sodas and Dippin' Dots(TM). If you have never had Dippin' Dots(TM), they are little dots (about the 1/8 of an inch in size) of ice cream frozen hard. They serve it in little plastic baseball caps. My son was really looking forward to the Dippin' Dots(TM) as I don't think we can get them anywhere else in our area.
The Yankees won big and we had a great time. After the ride back on the subway and Path trains we realized that we had just missed a bus (the next one was scheduled in a half hour) so we had to call my wife to pick us up. As I picked up my phone, I noticed that she had texted me 4 times and called twice (most likely while I was on the train under ground and could not receive them). I called and she got there in about 20 minutes.
I barely talked with her the rest of the night.
I am still angry but I am talking more to her.
Needless to say no sex for awhile for us.
Gave it up
I finally gave up on Verizon's DSL service. It has just become to unreliable for us to depend on for our internet connection. We have switched to Cablevision's Optimum Online.
So far, so good. The connection has been stable, the help to set it up from their staff by telephone has been exemplary and I am satisfied (at least for now).
I'll let you know how I feel (you'll know when I don't comment about connection issues) in a few months.
Tomorrow should be a fun day. An associate at work gave me two tickets to the Yankees v. White Sox game and I am taking my son. I am really looking forward to it.
Eh, I've got nothin'
Not much going on in my life.
Money issues, internet connection issues, water issues but some good sex iterrupts them every couple of days.
Couch
On Friday night, after the boy went to bed, the wife and I were watching TV. I was sitting at one end of the couch and she had her head on my lap while she laid next to me.
Well, my hands found her luscious ass and I massaged her from the lower back down to her anus and back again. Eventually, I slipped my hands in her shirt and used my fingers and hands on her tits. Next, I slid my hand inside her panties and started fingering her.
She quietly moaned and changed her position so that she had her back flat on the couch and her hands down her pants, frigging her clit! I used my hands on her tits and pinched her nipples.
After awhile of this, she came quietly and began to bring herself back to the edge and quickly came again. At this point, I got her to get up from the couch and head for the bed room (our living room is right next to our son's room so it's not an option for sexcapades).
Once naked and in bed, I went down on her and made her cum again. She began to beg for me to fuck her and I obliged till I could not take it anymore and came in her pussy.
A pretty adventurous time for us, really. It was probably the first time my wife masturbated in my presence without me asking her to. I loved it.
Quick
Just a quick note to let all of you know that I have not been able to get online much since this past Friday due to problems with my DSL connection at home. I never know if it's going to connect or not and if it does I don't know for how long. (Verizon Sucks Dead For 3 Weeks Donkey Ass!)
I have an interesting sex story to tell when I am back.
