for those of you that have read blogs about discussions we have on the job, you will remember that we discuss a WIDE variety of things. the owner of the company and i once discussed double-ended dildos (he'd never seen one and had a different idea of what they looked like), the IT guy and i regularly discuss theories in physics, etc. the most recent discussion the IT guy and i had involved fantasies and the people we fantasize about. i was saying that someone (the person in discussion at that moment) wasn't in my "fantasy land" because of their personality and he said that in fantasy land, people can have a personality transplant because fantasy land means it can be whatever you want. i then told him that the only person that lives in my fantasy land is wifey, to which he declared me abnormal. this then sparked a discussion with the rest of the office and i began taking a poll of those people who would actually answer and not be offended. so far, the score is 2 to 4. wifey and i say the only ones in our fantasy is each other and the other 4 (IT guy, the receptionist, the owner's wife and accounts payable) all say that other people aside from their significant others live in fantasy land. i do have to say that if i were single, there would be more people in fantasy land, but there is not a single fantasy in my head that i wouldn't want to explore with wifey. the receptionist agreed on that point. she said that if she were single, it wouldn't just be fantasy land, it would be fantasy city it would be so full (with both permanent residents and renters). the owner's wife said that she didn't think it was abnormal in a bad way that only wifey lives in my fantasy land. she thinks wifey is extremely lucky. and i think i'm lucky too.
so, in light of all this, i'd like to extend the discussion to you guys. who lives in your fantasy land? does the fact that most people seem to have fantasies about other people mean they are cheating in their minds?

i'm plotting and planning my weekend activities. here's a clue for wifey:
I'm a sexy mama (mama)
Who knows just how to get what I wanna (wanna)
What I want to do is spring this on you (on you)
Back up all of the things that I told you (told you)
You've been saying all the right things all night long
But I can't seem to get you over here to help take this off
Baby, can't you see? (see)
How these clothes are fitting on me (me)
And the heat coming from this beat (beat)
I'm about to blow
I don't think you know
and on that note, the song i was listening to (ministry - jesus built my hotrod) is over, so i'm outta here!

i am not in high school anymore
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.
*********************************************
that's right toto, we aren't in kansas anymore. yeah, yeah, i know. i'm in my thirties. i haven't been in high school for a long time. so what am i saying, you ask. well, it all began with freaking myspace.
i was looking for a dear old friend of mine and then it occurred to me that maybe there were other old high school friends i could find as well, so i dragged my senior yearbook and various signature books out to find last names, etc. and what do i find but all these well wishes from people gushing how close we were, how much i listened to their problems, etc etc etc. and i don't mean just the casual hey, it was nice having you in algebra this year kind of friends. my friendship meant something to these people, apparently. so whats my problem? i don't remember 99% of them! and of those i do remember, there are references to all sorts of shit that i can't recall either. "don't forget! bonded sisters!" wtf? i mean i know most people say things like 'to a great friend" or whatever when they sign those things at the end of the year, but these went beyond the regular stuff and i have no idea who they were or why i was "bonded with them" i also had a list of memorable quotes, which also only rang vague bells. that didn't bother me nearly as much, however.
of the 8 people i would really love to talk to again, only 2 have a myspace, which made me think of all the years of wasted time. time i could have spent keeping in touch with my friends but didn't because i was too busy running from myself. i spent years getting myself into messes, trying to numb myself, etc and ended up running from my own past and planting myself here in florida. enough time has past now and i am craving a connection with my past. i don't want to talk to all the old friends, thats for sure, but a select few who knew me back then would do my heart good. i have wifey and her family and a few friends here in miami, but the total lack of any connection to my life before florida is a little isolating sometimes.
aside from the 2 old friends i found, i also found one of my ex's. it was a bit of a shock, i have to admit, to see her smiling and looking happy considering the condition i left her in. i had to remind myself that almost 14 years have passed. things change. our relationship was a trainwreck. distastrous with a capital d. yet, i find myself almost irresistibly tempted to say hi to her. not out of some desire to reconnect with an old flame (god no. i'm too madly in love with that sexy cuban of mine), and not for any other reason other than saying hey, how the fuck are ya? i think wifey is threatened by the prospect and i dont' want the ex to think i've been carrying a torch for her all this time, so i haven't done it yet.
fucking myspace! now i see why i waited so long to get one!

its early afternoon and i'm sitting at my desk rubbing my lips together thinking how much i love the new lip balm i just got (burt's bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranite oil - this shit rocks!) when my phone rang. it was the wife and she asked me to come downstairs. i love surprise visits at work! but this one was even better. i got early mother's day presents:
roses:

a mushy card:

a HUGE balloon:

and a little angel:
i've been smiling all day ever since. i swear i love this woman!
you are the BEST, mi amor! thank you, thank you, thank you! i adore you!

forgive me fellow bloggers for i have sinned. as a result of recent events (ie, trying to stay in touch with my friend in california) i now have a my space and i actually like it! *hangs head in shame* i even have a cute little pink and black punky/femme layout with music and pictures. i teased my step daughter and my ex-coworker about my space every chance i got. i told them i didn't see the point of my space so many times. i didn't realize how fun it would be to find old friends, classmates, etc.
don't despair, however, i am not leaving efx for myspace. i might be out of the closet but i am married to someone who isn't and wifey's family all use my space, so i will still blog here. i can't blog openly over there about my REAL life. i won't be placing links on my blog to my my space or vice versa either. i just felt the need to confess my sins.

in other news, peace has returned to my house again. *whew* wifey and i are back to being the cute, happy couple we normally are. life is good.

today i realized that i've failed the one i love. i gave what i thought was my best but it wasn't what was truly needed. i thought the more i sacrificed and the more i denied myself those things that would cause her to lose sight of her goal, the better things would be in the end. i thought the more i supported, picked up the slack, cheered her on and helped her out made up for anything else that might be lacking. but the realization hit me today like a runaway pickup truck that what she truly needed, deep down in her heart, wasn't what i was giving. i thought she'd understand, thought she knew it wasn't in my nature, thought those things didn't need to be said. instead, the emptiness left by what i'm not giving has grown out of control. i did what i thought was the best i could do, tried as hard as i could, but she still couldn't see what i really felt and now the fact that i have not been able to give her what she needs is breaking my heart. its not like i didn't want to. its not like i didn't try (or at least i thought i did). so why are we not both smiling right now? why do i have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes?
this morning i was relishing the twinges of soreness in my muscles, loving the little reminders that i am on a path to looking and feeling better. (i've been doing pilates every morning to speed up the transformation i'm after). i was high on life this morning and now i'm in the pits of despair, blaming myself for her unhappiness. it is moments like this that make me seriously wonder if i could be bipolar. how else could i go from such a high to feeling as low as i do at this moment?

seeing as how i'm almost at the 4 month mark of my dieting adventure, i thought i'd post an update:
i'm down 34 pounds.
while i am happy about that, i'm in such a mood today (have been for several days) that i'm not really doing the little cheery thing that smilie above is doing. i've been in mood for awhile actually (since january) with certain aspects of my life. seeing as how some people who are involved in those aspects of my life read this blog, i'll leave the details out (how does that sound for some secret agent bullshit? lol)
of late, i have:
been treated like a brainless idiot more than once
had my authority underminded
been told a solution i proposed to a problem was "stupid"
been caught in the middle of warfare for speaking my mind
been on the receiving end of unwarranted silence
wanted to throw my computer at my boss
i'd like to direct a little something to those people who have done these things:
enough is enough!
thank god i have wifey to go home to, otherwise i think i'd lose what is left of my mind. we had an "issue" recently, but it lasted much less than previous fights, so i was VERY happy about that.

finally
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 figured it was time to actually post something instead of a meme or a quiz, so here i am, still with lots to say and nothing at all at the same time. i wish i had time to do a dirty thirty, but i am at work right now and while i have half an hour left on my lunch break, i'm sure i'll get interrupted too many times. so, i figure i'll just ramble for a bit.
it has come to my attention (after discovering careless errors at work) that i am FRIED and in much need of some time to decompress and disconnect. to that end, i have a few things in mind:
i am hoping to be able to go on a women only spiritual camping trip soon. there are going to be all kinds of activities, all sorts of new things to learn, etc.
shortly thereafter, wifey and i are going to have an in-town getaway. going out of town (even though i had an offer to have hotel paid for) is just not feasible. wifey's business is new and she needs to be able to do SOME work every day just to keep up and keep those customers happy. plus, we have 4 dogs and a cat. the cost to board them alone is prohibitive. so we have decided to take a long weekend where she will work the minimum possible and we have no other plans than to be together. we desperatley need it. as my boss so eloquently put it, we need to take a weekend to suck and fuck to our heart's content. lol. while that may be true, we also need some couple time. i need to feel like more than a dishwasher, dog feeder, child picker upper and wifey needs to feel like more than a taxi driver and complaint department. and she really needs some time away from the computer. i think her mouse has indentations where her fingers go. i can think of much more fun things to do with those fingers.
before that, however (this coming weekend) i plan to spend at least one night (two if i'm lucky) heavily under the influence. i tried to do that this weekend, but it didn't work out.
i have been feeling rather strongly that i need to do something with my life lately. i've been feeling....... stagnant. i considered taking classes at the local community college, but it will take too long to get the degree i was interested in. seeing as how its not a requirement to do this thing i'm interested in (which is staying under wraps for awhile, hence the general references to this "thing"), i'm teaching myself. so far things are going well. the next task is to get my new computer up to speed so that i can do online tutorials and such. that is going to involve removing memory, a hard drive and cd-rom from the old computer and putting it all in the new one. while that may sound easy to some, i have never done any of those things. i'm concerned, but looking forward to the opportunity to learn such things.
for those of you who know what the moyo files, are, we have a new addition. wifey was going through her mp3s this weekend (some of which were downloaded by her godson) and she asked me if i like daddy yankee. but of course moyo yoyo over there asked me if like "doddy jankee" of course, i lost it. god i love that woman.
in un-related news, i took a few quizzes over at quizfarm and found out that:
i am a goddess
You scored as Goddess. You are a goddess. Your constantly helping people with their problems, but you never take time for you. You should try to take some alone time. Take a trip far away, where noone knows you. It will be good for you, because you deserve a break.

i'm a slave to bdsm:
You scored as A Slave To BDSM. Admit it, you like being tied up and being told you've been very naughty. You like teasing your partner and making them squirm, and not letting them be able to do anything about it. Some people think what you do is sick and disgusting, but you know it's all in good fun.

my bar tab is $590
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.

swallowed whole

*********************************************
my life has swallowed me whole and its taken my mojo with it. i had a similar dry spell in the modblog days but it was because wifey and i were going through a rough patch. that is beyond over now. it just seems like real life and its frenetic pace has swallowed me up. i'm posting from inside the belly of the beast. i have much to say and nothing at all. i have tons of inspiration in spurts and then long periods of nothing.
seriously,
i'm here, i want to blog. i want to be brilliant. but it just doesn't come out. wifey told me (not for the first time) that i should write a book or a short story or something. i can't even find blogging inspiration, much less heftier pursuits. i wish i had one tenth of the faith in myself that she has in me.
on the update front, i'm well, wifey is well. i'll be travelling to texas for work soon and working in a visit to the grandparents (and hopefully my oldest and dearest friend too). work has been a bitch and a half lately with no signs of letting up anytime soon.
somebody throw me a life preserver!

did ya miss me?
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.
*********************************************
so did you guys miss me at all? (here is where you insert a yes. there is no other answer cuz i know you were all missing me so much you couldn't stand it.)
so yeah. merry christmas, happy new year, happy hanukkah and all that jazz. i hope you all had a happy holiday. i got to see my mom for christmas. even if there was an issue on christmas eve, it was still great to spend time with her. we had a party at the house on new year's eve, which was also nice. we all had too much too drink and we all had a great time. i've heard that what you do on new year's eve is what you will be doing all year long. trust me, we rang it in right.
i don't really know why i haven't blogged lately. i guess its been a combination of a lack of time and lack of mojo (or moyo for my faithful readers). life in the spacey/green household has been a busy lately and happier than ever. wifey and i have been so sappy we've even said "we really need to get a room"
i do have to say, though, that she said something to me that made me quite sad the other day. no, it wasn't a fight or anything. it was just an observation that made me want to hold her and never let go. as a result of recent events and comments made to both of us, she said that she was tired of feeling like she had to prove herself to my family and friends. that broke my heart. the fact that someone as good and loving as wifey would feel that way saddens me. her family accepted me even when they thought i was only a "friend" and they really opened their hearts when they found out the truth. wifey hasn't been so lucky with my family and friends. my grandparents have come a long way and accept her now, but it was a rough road. she and my mom had their issues in the past as well, which have been worked out. we both kind of felt like my mom acted a bit different over the christmas holiday, but it could also have just been sensitive feelings over the drama on christmas eve. differing perceptions aside, i've learned that people don't always take the good with the bad when i tell the whole story and assume the worst when i leave out the nasty details. it frustrates me for me and for wifey. for me because i feel like i either can't say a damn thing or i need to over explain so that people don't think that whatever shitty thing is going on in my life is because of her. for her because she doesn't deserve anything but love and acceptance. she is truly the most beautiful human being i've ever known. truth be told, we've been through some shit. but we've been through it together. some of it i put her through, some she put me through and some we were put through as a couple and decided on the best path together. yes she makes me think i'm insane when we fight, but guess what, i'm rude as fuck when we fight too. shit happens. the bottom line is this woman makes me feel things i never thought possible. she makes me smile, laugh and cry from sheer happiness. it makes me crazy that the whole world can't see that.
i have to post a bit of a side note at this point. wifey just asked me what i was writing about and i said "you because you made me sad" to which she replied "you wouldn't post that without telling me first" (after asking me when, of course). when asked why, she said cuz i knew i'd get a spanking for doing something like that (its a deal we have. i'll never blog something she hasn't heard from me first). my answer was of course that i was telling the whole blog world that she was mean to me and called me names (so i can get the spanking, of course). so help me out people, tell her all the horrible stuff i told you guys about her while she wasn't looking so i can cash in!

bring it on, baby!

one week down, a lifetime to go

well today completes my first week back on the low carb diet. and wouldn't you know it, just when i needed it the most, i can't figure out if i've lost anything or not. the difference between my weight at the doc's the last time i went and my weight last night was 14 pounds, but i'm not convinced. i will have to figure out how off my home scale is and readjust the total.
but, so far so good. seeing as how i have a tendency to hit the wall after losing a certain amount, i'm tracking what i eat more closely than i used to, looking for trends. i lost 45 pounds last time i did low carb and then hit a wall for like 6 months. i'm hoping that doesn't happen again this time. i'm more aware of what might be causing that (hormonal imbalance discovered by the gyno) and i don't intend to let it get the best of me.
i tried a new recipe last night (pork chops with garlic cream sauce) and the chops came out waaaaay too salty. dangit! i hate it when something i cook doesn't turn out yummy! combine that with the chorizo i made for breakfast that i didn't like (new brand, too chunky. i like my chorizo finely ground) and i'd say i had a bad culinary day. the low carb cheesecake i made did come out quite delicious, though. one of the things i love so much about low carbing is that wifey lets me cook lots since i can do the carb counting in my sleep practically and i LOVE to cook.
I'm feeling: better

how cute!
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 stole this one from enidation. too cute!
You Are Prancer
You are the perfect reindeer, with perfect hooves and perfect flying form.
Why You're Naughty: Because you're Santa's pet, and you won't let anyone show you up.
Why You're Nice: You have the softest fur and the sweetest carrot breath.
Which of Santa's Reindeer Are You?
I'm feeling: still sore

my absence
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 been trying to answer the two remaining questions from the ask me anything post, but i've had so much on my mind lately that i can't focus. i haven't even felt like blogging that much. i've got some health issues going on that have me tripping out pretty hard core. i've been explaining it to the people that ask as "girl stuff" and that pretty much does it for them as far as an explanation. basically i had a test done, they found something and i have to go for a biopsy on thursday. so aside from being in quite a bit of pain, i get to go in for more. nice. wifey is doing her best to reassure me and she is being so supportive. i love that woman.
anyway, those of you that asked me stuff, i will be answering them as soon as i get my head sorted out.
I'm feeling: worried

saw this around this afternoon and i liked it.
You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
i always knew i was a queen deep down.
I'm feeling: in pain
