I don't need to rehash what happened in Boston today, and I'm not going to spout political rhetoric about it.
What I WILL offer is this: If you have a rare blood type (especially if you are of foreign descent), PLEASE donate at the nearest blood bank. Events like the Boston Marathon bring visitors from all over the world- many of whom carry rare blood types and may need your precious .
Lastly: Don't jump to conclusions about the perpretator(s) until things have been confirmed. Cowardice, hate and bullying come in ALL COLORS and from ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
Hugs to all of you, especially to my friends on the East Coast.
Xoxo

Yup, the 2nd Annual Midwest Blogger Bash is right around the corner, Guys and Dolls! And that means I need ideas for our fortune cookies, lol.
Submit some suggestions (whether you're attending or not) and help me get my cookie stuffed. Wait, no...
You know what I mean, dontcha? Help a lady out!

Spring Break, Baby!
You might recall that last year, we cancelled a trip to California when the Hornet broke her leg and required my assistance for a few weeks. Well, we're trying in again in a few days and my fingers have never been crossed harder! My are finally at an age where traveling with them is FUN. No diapers and bottles and strollers and car seats to lug around. They can even tote their own luggage, lol! The weather won't be too terribly warm, mid-60's and sunny, but it beats the 14 degree bullshit I've been dealing with for the last month. I cooked all day yesterday to provide the Horner short ribs, beef stew, soups and sides to keep her eating well while we're gone- she didn't even say 'thanks', but I'm used to that, lol.
Speaking of the Hornet- part of the reason I've been off the grid is because she's decided to try some homeopathic treatments to try and stave off the growth of her cancer. I have to drive her to Illinois twice a week (1.5 hours each way plus treatment time), so needless to say I haven't had much time to blog. They don't seem to be working at all, but quitting is her decision. I'll do what I need to for as long as it takes.
I've also been working on the upcoming Blogger Bash. Seems the ladies who were going to host our burlesque dance class have flaked on me, but no worries! I think a lingerie photo shoot and afternoon traipsing around town would be just as fun  .
I have to say that I find it very interesting that we always have more women in attendance at Blogger Bashes. For all the complaining that the men do about flakes and catfishes, you'd think they'd be first in line to spend a weekend with beautiful, intelligent, REAL women. But only the bravest take the plunge, lol.
Anyhoo...That's about all that's going on in my life. I'm getting waxed today (ouch!), so I need to pop a vicodin and take a nice hot shower .
So tell me...have I missed anything good lately?

This morning, I peeked in on my 8 year old as she brushed her teeth and asked her why she seemed exceptionally perky today.
'Today's my future!'
'What? Spit that toothpaste out and say that again.'
'Today is my field trip.'
Huh.
'Today is my future.'
Yeah. It's that simple.
Fuck this winter-depression crap.
I'm back .

Getting back to my earlier post about the lies/omissions we run into out here, I thought I'd respond to your comments via one big, fat, clarifying post.
Judging by the comments I received, it seems y'all are pretty much in agreement on the majority of the questions I posed. I guess it never really occurred to me to question what people wrote on their profiles. If they said they lived on Mars, I assumed that was a small town somewhere in Montana, lol.
Then again, I guess I obfuscate some stuff myself, don't I? According to my own profile, I live in 'Nunyabizness, WI' and my birthday is in May. I'm also a 5'2 chain smoking, drug using, Klingon-speaking, crewcut blond of large stature. Mind you, it's fine to be any or all of these things...I just lump them all together because I figure it confuses the search engines.
And why?
Because the people who matter (i.e., you guys), know the truth. And I don't care if the general population thinks I'm a Pocket-sized Trekkie with a penchant for heroin and Cohibas. It just means they're less likely to invite me to fuck them (note: I said 'less likely', not 'unlikely'.).
So why was I pissed off that a (potential) NEW GUY fibbed to me about his age?
Because it makes me wonder what else he might have fibbed about and why he feels the need to lie/obfuscate at this juncture of our friendship.
'So ask him!', you say. 'Insist on truthfulness and ask what you want to know!'
Um. I don't know what I want to know.
'Well, shit, Gottaring! There's gotta be something you're dying to know! Something that would make or break your interest in him!'
I've already ascertained the obvious stuff- marital status, height, weight, etc. if he's lying, it'll be immediately apparent. But what about the stealthy stuff?
Should I care why he's divorced? I mean, let's assume its because he was unfaithful. So what? Maybe he was bored. So am I. BFD. What if he beat her with a tire iron for burning his pot roast? Would he tell me if he did? That's usually a habit you learn about the hard way.
Sexual health, arrest record and use of illegal substances? Well yeah, those are important. But can I take for granted that he'll be honest, even though I have been? Besides, sex won't be an issue until I know him much better than I do right now and drug use...well, I just have to search for the signs. Arrest record is easy...thanks to Al Gore's Interweb, lol.
Employment status? Short of being Hubby's boss (who is uber-hot, BTW), I could not care less. Mob hitman? Could come in handy. drug dealer? He'll always have bail money. Porn star? I should be so lucky.
Where he went to college? Don't care.
Political affiliations? Don't care.
Financial status? Only care to the extent that I don't have to loan him money.
Religious association? Don't care.
Favorite football team? If it wasn't already the Packers, it will be when I get done with him.
In retrospect, it sounds like I don't care who I might want to sleep with. But that's not true! I just...don't know how much emphasis to place on things that aren't governed by my instincts. And lets face it, I'm still charred from my experience with THAT GUY, so I don't know if I can trust my gut.
But I know NEW GUY is polite, intelligent, sweet and undeniably sexy. He makes me laugh and appears to fully understand my situation and has accepted my quirkiness so far. We have good conversation and I'm excited to meet him.
My gut says good things...but it's been wrong before.
Help me out, guys...I'm a little rusty when it comes to this stuff. What else should I be looking for here? How much do you need to know about a potential FWB?
Really.
How much?
