satin and lace

this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2 which then became efx2blogs). in the end, the final incarnation (efx2blogs) went down one too many times for me, so i switched to blogger. i was able to recover most of my older stuff (efx2) from archive.org. some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.

i've just been reminded of an essential character trait of mine that i had let get away from me a bit. i love being a girl and getting in touch with that is what centers me.

i'll explain. i've had a rollercoaster day today. i've switched moods today like a nascar driver switches gears. i was pissed this morning because the brilliant realtor didn't show up to show the house or even call to cancel and we were up early for his sorry ass. since we were up, wifey and i hit the streets to run our errands and ended up making stops to get wifey's tests done at the hosptial, the accountant's, two stores, wifey's mom's house and then dinner. somwhere in there, at varying times, i was cranky, tired, hungry, sad, homesick, overwhelmed with love, desperate, hopeful....need i go on?

while we were driving around, we were discussing some pretty heavy topics at all day (possible upcoming medical procedures for both of us, budget, the upcoming move, etc) so when we came home, i just wanted to relax. wifey wasn't feeling too well and laid down for a nap and i hit the shower. (here is where the satin and lace comes in)


after taking a nice loooonnnnng hot shower, i put on a satin nightie and some lacy underthings and now i'm sitting here reflecting and purring i'm not looking back on today and seeing the hectic running around, the fighting the crowds, the heavy discussions we had. i'm seeing and appreciating the time we got to spend together today. she works full time and freelances after hours so unless we have a scheduled play date (that would be scheduled adult time) we rarely have time to just hang out like we did today. i am appreciating her on the whole as well. i told her some things that had been weighing heavily on my mind lately (frustrations with my current health status, things i have wanted to do and felt like i couldn't for one reason or another, etc) and she was so supportive, so loving. it took my breath away. not that i needed reminding exactly, but i was reminded of just one of the many reasons why i love this woman.

it always amazes me what a little girliness can do for me. pedicures can make me feel so incredibly sexy. a long hot shower with my favorite body soaps can bring the world back into focus. a little satin and lace can make me purr. i wonder if all women feel like this.

well, blog peeps, i was sitting out here in the living room writing this to stay away from my lovely better half for a bit, seeing as how she is feeling under the weather and i'd rather be feeling her under me. but, alas, i'm getting sleepy now, so its time to take my lace and satin clad ass to bed. catch ya on the flipside!

I'm feeling: rawr Listening to: tv in the background
