i'm baaaaaaaaaaack!
i'm back from vacation. not that you knew i was gone, but i was. it was wonderful! more on that later. i just thought i'd post some randomness stolen from phil.
1. Did you have to pay or did you get money back?
pay. withdrawing from your retirement plan and not having them take taxes out will do that to you.
2. What was your biggest financial mistake?
ruining my credit. the second time.
3. Are you a screamer?
most definitely
4. What part of your body, other than your genitals, do you love to have touched? What part of a partner's body, other than their genitals, do you love to touch?
for me, its the hip bone. when the wife touches me there, she always gets her way with me. on the wife, its the curve of her hip, from her waist down to her thigh. its delicious!
5. What commercial catch phrase best describes your life?
"sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't."

finally! the movie quote meme!
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
i finalloy had time to get around to this one!
********************************************************************
Here are the rules I must follow:
* Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
* Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
* Post them on your blog for everyone to guess.
* Fill in the film title once it’s been guessed.
These are your rules:
* Leave your guesses in the comments.
* No Googling or using IMDB search functions. Don’t cheat!
* Know-it-alls, limit your guesses to three movies. Save some for others!
1. "I uh, I don't like my job, and, uh, I don't think I'm gonna go anymore." "You're just not gonna go?" "Yeah." "Won't you get fired?" "I don't know, but I really don't like it, and, uh, I'm not gonna go." "So you're gonna quit?" "Nuh-uh. Not really. Uh... I'm just gonna stop going."
[office space guessed by grimfairy and big p]
2. "You know when you hear girls say 'Ah man, I was so shit-faced last night, I shouldn't have fucked that guy?' We could be that mistake!"
[superbad guessed by texican]
3. "Finding someone you think would be fun to kill is a bit like, well it's a bit like falling in love. You meet a lot of candidates, and you like some of them, and they're nice. But they're not right. And that special one comes along, and your heart beats faster, and you know that's the one."
4. "Puff puff, give. Puff puff, give. You fuckin' up the rotation."
5. "Do you think our love, can take us away together?" "I think our love can do anything we want it to." "I love you." "I love you, Allie." "Good night." "Good night. I'll be seeing you."
[the notebook guessed by ben]
6. "Hey! I was waiting for that spot!" "Face it, lady, we're younger and faster!" "What are you *doing*?" "Are you *crazy*?" "Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance."
[fried green tomatoes guess by texican]
7. "In Greece he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. And so without further gilding the lily and with no more ado, I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Sir Ulllrrrich von Lichtenstein!" [crowd roars] "Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week."
[a knight's tale guessed by sarai]
8. "Look at me, jerking off in the shower... This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here."
[american beauty guessed by ben]
9. "Well, what the hell did you know? Did you know how bad things were for me? No, because you wouldn't even open my letters. If you had even answered one, just one! Told me what a jerk I was, anything! But you didn't. You took your friendship away without even discussing it with me. So, thank you very much for forgiving me. But I don't forgive you."
[beaches guessed by ben]
10. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father prepare to die."
[the princess bride guessed by texican]
11. "I never fucked anybody over in my life didn't have it coming to them. You got that? All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break them for no one."
[scarface guessed by bigp]
12. "Oh my god, you've made the tower of Twinkie! Is that in a stalker's handbook somewhere?"
13. "Do you smell burning feathers?" "Burning feathers?"
14. "Who is Keyser Soze?"
[the usual suspects guessed by sarai]
15. "If you were still in love with Pedro, you wouldn't be marrying John."

i am...
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
no, this isn't another one of those posts about my conflicting opinions of myself or the many different sides of my personally. it is a "state of the union" in sections. i started with "i am defective" as the title and then realized i wanted to add few more things, so i added to the list of things that i am. so, for your reading pleasure (lol) here's what’s up in my world:
i am defective
some of you may remember that i have sleep apnea. it is not pretty, but it is reality. i was told first that it was because i was overweight. that began my first serious journey with atkins years ago. i struggled with it off and on, but never lost enough to make a difference (so i thought). then when i wind up at an ENT for some unrelated problem, he tells me that i have a "severely" deviated septum. yeah, i just get hotter by the second. i'm fat and i have a deviated septum. please, contain yourselves. anyhow, he says even if i lose weight, the apnea will probably not go away because the deviation is so severe. i enjoy being a deviant, but not this kind. funny thing is i've never broken my nose or anything. i just have a defective nose. anyhow, he suggest surgery and since i'm such a chicken shit, i pass. time passes, i gain all the weight i lost back, the apnea continues. i have a machine to help with it which i struggle with all the time. more recently, i finally dropped 60 pounds, no improvement in the apnea area. granted, i still have some to go, but you think you'd see a BIT of improvement. nope. none. nada, zip, zero, zilch. that would be too easy. last week, i get referred to a new ENT for unexplained diziness and i think "great, i can talk to him about the apnea," which i did. he said my jaw is set too far back making everything that has to fit in the throat kind of cramped. he said i have a "space issue" which i thought sounded kind of funny. so, surgery for the nose won't stop the apnea and neither will losing weight. this little newsflash is the best damn thing i've ever heard and the worst thing i've ever heard all at the same time. it is awesome because the painful surgery to correct my defective nose is not a necessity. he gave me a spray to dilate my nasal passages and said that should help. i'm a chicken so i'll spray some medicine up my nose every day for the rest of my life quite happily just so i don't have to go through surgery. on the other hand, this is horrible news because i find apnea to be embarassing and it makes me feel ugly. so, i had hope in the back of my mind that if i ever got up the balls to have the surgery (after i was convinced weight loss hadn't done the trick) that there would be light at the end of the "ugliness" tunnel for me. now there is not.
i am martha stewart's lesbian sister
inspired by my success, my grandmother asked me to help her plan a menu so she could start a low carb diet. now, i tend to eat the same stuff quite a bit and i knew she wouldn't be too happy with that, so i couldn't just give her a sample of my menu. i still cook or help wifey cook “regular” meals and always do something else for myself since i am the only one low carbing in the house. i usually fix something quick for myself in the interest of time. since I’m not picky, it winds up being a lot of grilled chicken and veggies. so, i dug up some recipes i had stored and searched online for more to build her menu. before i recommend them, however, i'm trying them to make sure they are decent. so, i've been cooking almost every day now. i have to say, i am LOVING it! i've made low carb "rolls", flax bread (banana nut bread no less!), hamburger pie, 2 different chicken casseroles and on and on. today i am eating the last of the mexican chicken bake for lunch. talk about yummy. oh and for dessert? low carb fudge! it is soooo good!
i am madly in love with my wife
some of you modblog peeps may remember the moyo files. for those of you who don't know, my wife is cuban and she is constantly making up her own pronunciations for english words which always crack me up. "moyo" was her pronunciation of "mojo". she turned hover into hoover. the list goes on. so the other night, i am telling her that my hands feel swollen and its really uncomfortable (its pms. yes, i know, LOVELY conversation. whatever, its life. besides, she’s a girl, she understands how i feel). i tell her i feel like a blowfish. she asked if that was like a "pucker" fish. not puffer fish, but a pucker fish. when i giggled she said, you know, "pucker' fish and blew me a kiss. i love that crazy woman.
i am on a plateau
i haven't lost a pound since we moved to the new house. i'm approaching two months of no movement again. i'm trying to be patient, but its getting harder. wavering willpower is never an issue for me, but patience is. my body seems to like to lose, wait, lose, wait, lose, wait. i'd rather it lose lose lose lose lose.
i am doing new things at work
i got a raise awhile back (over a year ago) because my boss wanted me to "revamp" the operations department. then they gave me a title. director of operations. umm... ok, thats why the vp still considers me his assistant, right? (that was what i was originally hired for) i was stuck in this running my own department/being someone's assistant gray area that was quite frustrating to me. i did a lot of the "operations" duties, but not all of the and the ones i didn't do seemed arbitrarily chosen by my boss to be kept as his tasks. fast forward to current events and the vp is FINALLY handing over the rest of operations duties to me. i am actually enjoying it quite a bit. its scary times out there for a small company in our industry, but i am taking the challenge on and i'm ready to REALLY revamp things now. work smarter not harder! being able to do what i need to do without waiting for someone else has really freed me up to be ... productive! so while most people are scared out of their minds, i'm feeling like a new woman. besides, i love a challenge. so now i have the duties to match the raise. only thing is, i need another raise now to match the new duties. LOL.
and finally...
i am outta here! peace, love and hair grease, peeps!

i'm in a horrible mood today. i don't know why, really, i just am. i'm ready to tell the next person to cross me a thing or two about a thing or two. therefore, i'm sittig quietly at my desk not saying a word. quiet as a mouse i am! :-)
*checks calendar* not pms... maybe its lack of sleep. maybe it is the sum all all stress in my life. maybe its cuz i'm a moody bitch. *giggle*

i should have taken a left at albequerque
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
i’ve been thinking a lot lately. about who i am, who i was, who i thought i would be. inside i still feel like the same old me, but the outside doesn’t match anymore. it is partly because of the weight, but there are other things at work here too. part of me thinks that if i lose the weight i’ll be free to be the old me again, but i do know that the weight has nothing to do with it really.
a conversation with an old friend started it (this time), but those of you who have read my blog before know this is a recurring theme. i was a fag hag in high school and just recently reunited with both of my gay boys. :-) so i called one of them the other day and we chatted for a bit. he asked how i was, asked how wifey and the kids were and we proceeded to talk about them for awhile, and i mentioned to him how i never thought i’d find myself where i am now. he agreed and said “you are such a soccer mom!” he said he always thought we’d find each other again in new york in rehab for eating disorders. he said talking to me now is fascinating because it is an entirely different world than the one he lives in. he’s still him but i’m not me anymore. or eat least not the me i was.
then it occurred to me. its one thing for me to say i don’t feel like the same person anymore, but its another thing entirely for someone else to see it. funny thing is he hasn’t actually “seen” me. we found each other again on myspace and have been emailing, texting and sprinkling in the occasional phone call. so this is a conclusion he’s come to just based on our conversations. if he saw me now, he’d probably faint. back then you wouldn’t catch me dead in jeans, 99.9% of my wardrobe was name brand stuff, you’d never catch me with my hair up in a bun, with no make up or looking anything less than what i deemed to be fabulous. today i’m wearing jeans, a t-shirt and crocs (sorry splintered!). i do have make up and have my hair done, but i have definitely left the house without make up on many, many days and without question i’ve thrown my hair in a bun and run out the door rather than spend time primping.
i’m wondering… have i changed so much or have i just shifted my focus? i lean toward the shifting focus answer to that question, but that leads me to various others. if i’ve shifted focus, what have i shifted it to? am i neglecting myself and things i like and/or want? will that have ramifications? should i make an effort to stop it or just let it go given the fact that i’m happiest making other people happy?
i used to be travelling the road to ... well, i don't know where, but it went somewhere, i'm sure. however, i think i missed my turn. the thing is, i like the place i wound up (wifey, kids, dogs, etc). so is being different really so bad? i mean we all change, right?

i’m wondering… have i changed so much or have i just shifted my focus? i lean toward the shifting focus answer to that question, but that leads me to various others. if i’ve shifted focus, what have i shifted it to? am i neglecting myself and things i like and/or want? will that have ramifications? should i make an effort to stop it or just let it go given the fact that i’m happiest making other people happy?
i used to be travelling the road to ... well, i don't know where, but it went somewhere, i'm sure. however, i think i missed my turn. the thing is, i like the place i wound up (wifey, kids, dogs, etc). so is being different really so bad? i mean we all change, right?

supersweet meme
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
and now, for your reading pleasure, i present a meme, stolen from ben
How long have you been together?
officially 9 years this month
How long did you date?
4 years. *gasp* how unlesbian of us. we didn't move in together on the second date like most dykes.
How old is he?
7 years older than me. she is robbing the cradle!
Who eats more?
neither
Who said ‘I love you’ first?
she says she did. i think i did.
Who is taller?
me. she is a shortie. a cute shortie, but a shortie nonetheless.
Who is smarter?
neither. we are each strong in different areas
Who does the laundry?
mostly, she washes and dries it and i put it away.
Who does the dishes?
whoever didn't cook or whoever has more time
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
depends on where you are standing of course, but if you stood at the foot of the bed, she is on the right. but i prefer her on top of me. ;-)
Who pays the bills?
the actual paying of the bills would be me.
Who mows the lawn?
the man we pay to mow it, duh!
Who cooks dinner?
we take turns. we each have our specialties, so it depends on what is for dinner and what mood we are in. we do a lot of turn-taking and not just in the kitchen! ;-)
Who is more stubborn?
that is a tough one. i can be as stubborn as they come, but so can she.
Who kissed who first?
that was all her. but i asked for the second one!
Who asked who out?
it was sort of a mutual thing. we started as friends.
Who proposed?
she did. she got me the ring of my dreams, too. *melt*
Who is more sensitive?
depends. she cries at chick flicks, i don't. i cried when benji got kicked, she didn't.
Who has more friends?
her. she was raised here. her high school friends still live here. i'm a transplant and my friends are scattered all over the country.
Who has more siblings?
since i have none, that would have to be her.

this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
i finished editing my erotic story, but i don't know if i want to post it given the lack of interest lately. it seems i used to get more comments before. am i the only one who feels like the commeting/blogging has dropped off a bit? don't you people know i'm an attention whore and i need as many comments as possible? :-D
maybe i need to sex it up a little in here? or send out groupie applications? or maybe just post/comment more. i don't know, but i miss the old efx2 days.

the spacey stacey soundtrack
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
so, yeah, i jumped on the bandwagon. this really was a LOT harder than i thought it would be. i decided to go the extra step and explain my choices as well. i chose songs that took me back to either a specific memory or a period in my life that was for one reason or another special and/or important.
lookout weekend - debbie deb
8th grade prom. i was dancing with my friends who were the "popular" kids. that was a big deal since i started the year as the new nerdy kid.
she swallowed it - n.w.a.
weekends at my boyfriend's. not that i'm saying i swallowed (or didn't swallow for that matter) anything. we both liked n.w.a., so we listened to them a lot
add it up - violent femmes
field trip to galveston for my a/p anatomy class. i was hanging out with the "bad" kids.
master and servant - depeche mode
i played this song over and over in high school.
the only time - nine inch nails
senior year, going to get lunch off campus.
me so horny - 2 live crew
one of many high school dances. my two gay guy friends and i were dirty dancing to this.
start me up - rolling stones
summers in new orleans with my mom
get up, stand up - peter tosh
see above. i went to see him in concert one of those summers.
the fireman - george strait
doing the texas two step with my grandpa at the fireman's ball.
set a drift on memory bliss - pm dawn
this was a huge hit right around the time i had my first lesbian experience. it wasn't playing in the background or anything, it just reminds me of that time in my life.
james brown is dead - la style
the gay/lesbian sunday hang out in san antonio. i was sitting in my car under the *ahem* influence *innocent look* blasting this song
show me love - robin s
this one reminds me of many many nights spent clubbing in san antonio.
principles of lust - enigma
i had this as the background music for my answering machine and couldn't figure out why i kept getting hang ups. turns out my friend had given my number to all her friends so they could hear my voice because she thought it was sexy.
come baby come - k7
clubbing in new orleans
deeper love - aretha franklin
this was my anthem when i first moved to miami. "i get up out of bed, i put on my clothes, cuz i've got bills to pay. now it ain't easy, but i don't need no help. i've got a strong will to survive. i've got a deeper love, a deeper love, a deeper love inside, and i call it pride."
at last - etta james
exactly how i felt when i met the wife
finally found someone - bryan adams
our wedding song *sappy sigh*
clocks - coldplay
this song really spoke to me during a rough patch with the wife
buttons - the pussycat dolls
this song makes me want to strip, so i decided to play it and strip for the wife one night. that was SO fucking liberating!

insert catchy blog entry title here
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
forgive me bloggers for i have sinned. it has been over a month since my last entry. as i was telling a bloggie friend who asked where i had been today, real life has come at me hard and fast recently. now if the wife would just do the same, all would be right in my world. ;-)
so what has kept me away from my blog, you ask? nothing and everything all at once. nice use of a greenday lyric, eh? :-) seriously, it is nothing and everything. i was sick, we moved, the holidays were here, we were unpacking (still not finished), cleaning the old house, making trips to the dump to throw things out, etc. there was not major catastrophe, i was just busy being busy.
i would really love to do a dirty thirty so that i could blog about something other than just an update, but i just don't have the time tonight. its after 1:30 and i should be in bed soon. so, for those of you that wanna know, here is the rundown:
weight loss: my second plateau finally ended. shortly after we moved in, i weighed myself and discovered i had dropped another 3 pounds. *does the happy girl dance* its not a huge amount, but its better than no movement which is what i had for a bit there. that brings my grand total to..... drumroll please... 62! go stacey! its your birthday! *does a booty shakin dance*
health junk: the pills the doc gave me for the arrythmia did not sit well with me (major dizzy spells), so i'm not taking them anymore. going for a follow up in a few days. i haven't been able to work out since we moved since the house is still upside down and i work out at home. i actually miss it.
the move/home life: we moved in with the wife's parents so that wifey can take care of them. so far, so good. the parents love having her here and she loves being here for them. its a 6 bedroom house divided into a 2/1 for the parents and a 4/2 for us. it is joined only by a common laundry area, which when left open makes it like one big house and when closed provides just enough privacy. the kids have adjusted to the change and we all like the house. we still have plenty of unpacking to do, but we are moving right along. the wife and i are doing awesome as well. there have been none of the fights you would expect in a stressful situation like this. yes, we are that couple that is so cute we make you sick. *happy smile*
work is, as always, work. nothing new. i guess that is a good thing though since it means i have nothing to complain about.
that is about the size of whats up in my world lately.
before the move i was writing a bit on my lunch breaks and i wanted to post a few things (including the continuation of my erotic story for those of you who remember it), but they need a little editing before i do that. hopefully i will have time to blog more again soon. i promise to try and peek in on you guys more often. oh and please be up to no good when i do peek in so i can watch! ;-)
peace, love and hair grease peeps! *wave*

have a holly jolly christmas
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
i've been sick for just over a week. i feel worse than i can remember feeling in years. combine that with the fact that the wife and kids and i are moving in the middle of the holidays and you see why i have very little energy to blog lately. however, i saw this meme over on ben's blog and thought it was cute.
When people say Christmas you immediately think...
i immediately imagine my grandparent's living room with the lights out, the tree decorated, lights blinking, stockings hung and presents under the tree. rather stereotypical, i know.
Favorite Christmas Memory
i don't have one really. it is more like a meshing of little happy moments from my childhood, my first christmas with the wife, etc.
Favorite Christmas Song/Carol
i don't have a favorite. i love them all
Favorite Christmas movie
don't have one really
Favorite Christmas character
don't have one really. i do love snowmen, though.
Favorite Christmas ornament/object
the wife and i buy a commemorative ornament every year. that would have to be it.
Favorite Christmas treat
rum balls
Favorite tradition

i've been sick for just over a week. i feel worse than i can remember feeling in years. combine that with the fact that the wife and kids and i are moving in the middle of the holidays and you see why i have very little energy to blog lately. however, i saw this meme over on ben's blog and thought it was cute.
When people say Christmas you immediately think...
i immediately imagine my grandparent's living room with the lights out, the tree decorated, lights blinking, stockings hung and presents under the tree. rather stereotypical, i know.
Favorite Christmas Memory
i don't have one really. it is more like a meshing of little happy moments from my childhood, my first christmas with the wife, etc.
Favorite Christmas Song/Carol
i don't have a favorite. i love them all
Favorite Christmas movie
don't have one really
Favorite Christmas character
don't have one really. i do love snowmen, though.
Favorite Christmas ornament/object
the wife and i buy a commemorative ornament every year. that would have to be it.
Favorite Christmas treat
rum balls
Favorite tradition
midnight mass with the family, even if i am not religious
Plans for this Christmas
moving and trying to get better since i've been sick for a week.

so proud of myself
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
12/4 was a milestone for me. it marked one year on atkins. the low carb group i belong to calls it an "atkins-versary". i celebrated with low carb cheesecake. :-) i am quite proud of myself. the last time i did atkins, i didn't lose quite as much and i had cheat days. not for lack of willpower, but because i was attempting to shock my metabolism when i hit a plateau. i've hit two plateaus (including the one i'm on at present) on this second journey, but i decided to wait it out instead of having a planned cheat day. i didn't even cheat on thanksgiving. and you know what? i didn't feel deprived at ALL. i just made myself low carb, sugar free things to eat and i was fine. i even made a low carb pumpkin cheesecake that was fucking awesome.
the wife and kids keep telling me that i have awesome willpower, but i don't even see it like that. to me, its just the way i eat now. i don't miss any of the carb filled treats anymore. my efforts have been richly rewarded, which makes it easier as well. i'm now fit enough to work out on a regular basis, i'm wearing clothes that are two sizes smaller, and i've lost a total of 60 pounds. i may be plateau-ing like a big dog, but i'm a happy camper. i get compliments almost on a daily basis.
so, one year of watching everything that goes onto my plate and into my mouth, working out and drinking more water than i thought humanly possible before i started. now i just have the rest of my life to go. :-)

revenge is so sweet!
i don't know if i've mentioned it before, but the company i work for is a small operation. there are about 15 employees between both companies my boss owns. needless to say, it is a very family sort of environment. we all get along, for the most part. that is, until recently. enter upon the scene the newest addition to the family: ms. colombia. now, let me say i have nothing against colombians at all. however, this one in particular used to get under my skin on a regular basis when she first started here. the receptionist we had at the time fared worse than i with her. it was a constant issue with the two of them. the receptionist and i were rather close and i think i got caught in the crossfire a lot. she gets under my skin MUCH less now that the receptionist is gone. either that or i have just gotten used to her. regardless of why, it is in my best interest to get along with her as she is VERY close to both of my bosses. i know what side my bread is buttered on. of course all the customers think she is a hottie. she has the latin accent when she speaks english and plays the poor innocent little spanish girl with batting eyelashes rather well. she does the cutesy thing well too, running around calling people "sweetie potato pan cake" with a thick spanish accent. the guys melt every time. trust me, papito, that aint what its all about.
at any rate, the story goes like this: she comes on board, all sorts of clashes begin between her and the receptionist, lots of sarcastic little comments to me, silent treatment, dirty looks, etc.
fast forward to the company party for july 4th. i had shoulder length hair at the time and my boss had scheduled a spa day for my birthday which was around the corner. we were all talking about what was planned for my hair and she, of course, was giving her advice. she is the office expert on all things cosmetic. *sarcastic smile* i was telling her how long my hair was before (which i didn't think she knew) and she said she remembered. i asked her "did i have long hair when i met you?" and she replied "yes, i met you when you were ugly and had long hair." of course, my jaw dropped. i raised an eyebrow and asked her "did you just call me ugly?" according to her, she didn't. she claims to have meant that she finds long hair ugly and that it was a language malfunction.
i said all that to say this: fast forward to today. i'll give you three guesses as to who was asking me for diet advice and the first two don't count. *doing the nanny nanny boo boo dance* she wants to drop a few pounds before some christmas party she has to go to with her man and came to ME to ask how to go about it. maybe after she does it, i can tell her "i met you when you were ugly and fat" and then claim to have meant something else.
but like i said, she and i are getting along now and i'm over her past rudenesses (don't you just love when i make up words?) so of course i won't be doing anything like that ... pregnant pause ... well, maybe.

UGH
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
i want to write something. i mean REALLY write something. something of substance, something worthy of reading. something worthy of accolades. i want to express myself with flowery, flowing words. i want to my reader to be drawn in, enthralled, caught up. i want the words to flow from my fingertips. i don't want to have to force them.
the basic problem with all of this is that i doubt my skill. i don't think the way i write is good enough. it doesn't flow the way i want it to. it isn't expressive enough. i'm never pleased with it. if i have the intellect to enjoy things written a certain way, why can't i write that way?

50) Do you think your friends talk about you behind your back? Yeah, but I don't care a whole heck of a lot.

shocked and sad
this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
well, i had a whole post written about wanting to break out and do something different, but it all seems selfish and juvenile now. i just heard from the wife of a good friend of mine. apparently my friend took his own life on 10/12. my heart breaks for him, for the pain he must have been in to make that decision, for his wife, for his kids. he was an awesome friend to me and i loved him very much. his absence leaves a hole in my heart.
only because i took the time to write it when i should have been working and because i know that once i am over the shock, i will still want to do something wild, below is my original post. aside from that, i am a big beleiver in honoring loved ones when they pass by doing something they enjoyed. my friend was definitely a wild child and i can't think of a better way to honor his memory than by being a little wild. he used to call it living on the "dark side". my dear friend, i will spend a night on the dark side in your honor soon.
(tommyfusco, you would be happy to know that this post was originally entitled "its not unusual" because it actually fit the post. see the first line below)

its not unusual for me to be in this mood. life in the spaceystacey/greenfairy household can get overwhelming with a quickness and lately it has happened again. real life has sucked us in and doesn't seem to want to let us back out any time soon. between kids, guests, being sick, dogs, moms, and the like, we have had very little time for any real fun. it is always at times like this that i want to "break out" as i put it. i need a weekend, or at least a night to get back in touch with my little wild side. as an adult, i realize it can't be party time 24/7, but i haven't had party time in way too long and i need that to stay grounded. i'm very happy being the martha stewart-ish step mommy and wife, but every once in awhile i need to break out the strap on, get drunk, get inked, etc. its just part of the dichotomy that is me. i like martha stewart and strap ons. i like mozart and metallica. i look like a good girl, but i curse like a sailor quite often. i look shy and reserved, but i've got three tattoos.
the question is i don't know what to do. ideas?

this is a copy of an old post from my old blog (efx2blogs). some smilies, graphics, and/or links may be missing, but you get the idea.
*********************************************
i don't have much time to blog today, so how about a quick and diry update?
weight loss: down a few more pounds. the grand total is now 59. i now weigh less than i can ever remember weighing. i'm sure i weighed less in high school, but i don't remember what the number was. maybe i've blocked it from my memory. i am loving the new number on the scale. i actually feel like i'm strutting and purring when i walk. the wife seems to have noticed too, which rocks!
health: one test down, one to go plus a monitor for 24 hours. wifey was recovering from the bronchitis and then caught a stomach virus. she wound up spending the night in the hosptial for dehydration. then, she gave it to me. oh there was just tons-o-fun to be had in our house. LOL.
finances: still in the crapper
work: still work
got lots on my mind but no time to post. catch ya on the flip side!
