Smuggling A Watermelon

Note to self... Do Not, I repeat Do Not, over do a leg workout at the gym, ever again!
Monday night I tried doing a new leg workout, at the time it felt great... Tuesday morning, not so much (considering I'm second day) I knew I was in trouble... Wednesday morning, holy shit, I could barely walk, by barely I mean, I was walking like a hobbit... My right leg looked as if I was smuggling a watermelon in my jeans... Of course standing on my feet all day, well you know... Unfortunately, business has been so slow lately, I can't afford not to work... Anyway, the swelling is starting to go down, as of this morning, I have more mobility in the pissed off watermelon, I'm actually in a good mood, and all before coffee...

Update

I'm such a dumb ass... I've been using fabric softener as detergent this week... What... It looks the same..
Oh... Ned is doing well, after chemo, and radiation... He's coming in today... I love that man. More on that later.
I worked Sunday (it was a favor)... Normally I'm out by the pool with a beer in my hand... I did make-up for a photo shoot... Stella Parton (Dolly's sister)... It was for a CD cover... I've never done anything like that... I was a little over my head... She was very nice, and I learned a lot... Plus, I got to rub her titties.
Hmmm... I think that's all for now.

I can't decide... Does he look like me...

I've been messing around this morning online, and found this site... I created my mini me... LOL.
Please everyone go to this site, and create your avatar... Then post them, I would love to see what you guys come up with... I may even put him as my blog pic...
My only issue, I couldn't give him a nose ring... Let me know what you guys think... I'm off to shower, then start my day...

So... I Got A New Toy...

I don't post very often... Big shock... Hopefully that will be changing... I just upgraded my phone to a blackberry... I opted for the curve in red (of course)... It's also going to be good for work... I've spent most of my weekend cleaning, and setting up my client profiles, in my address book, to sync to my phone... In hopes of becoming more accessible to them, and as an added bonus, I have more access to my blog... It's no secret, most of my days are spent away from home, and by the time I do get home, I can't remember what I was going to post... My little notebook and pen isn't helping me either (they say the mind is the first to go). That being said, I have signed up for mobile blogging, and this is my test...

Meow... What was that?

So... A little while ago... I had a first date with this guy... Seemingly sweet, well spoken, Tatts and piercings... HOT... He's a barista, at one of my local Starbucks... There is pretty much one on every corner here... Starbucks, not HOT Baristas... We went to a movie (unmemorable)... Literally, I can't remember what it was... Either it was bad, or I'm getting to the age I need to start writing stuff down... We then went to dinner at a local chinese restaurant near his house... BAMBOO LAUAS CHINATOWN... I love this place, the food is fair, but it's the atmosphere that I go for... They're open late... So all kinds of freaks... err I mean people come in... and you know, I love to people watch ... As I'm about to turn into the parking lot, I completely interupt our conversation, and lose my shit... I burst out in an uncontrollable fit of laughter (I almost pissed myself)... What are you laughing at??? ... I said Look...



I think it took him a minute to get it... We parked, both took out our phones and clicked away... Unfortunately, this was the best part of the date... After dinner I took him home, and we made out for a while... I went home, dreamily thought of the possibilities... Over the coming weeks, I would find out, he was yet another crazy... In my long list of dating the crazy, and getting older, I've learned some things about myself:
We are all crazy (myself included), I'm just wanting someone to match mine, not surpass it...
I am a Freak Magnet...
I don't tolerate things like I used to... ie. drama, stupid bullshit, being disrespectful...
I no longer withdraw into myself from rejection... mine or theirs...
I do find something beautiful in everyone, not just the physical anymore, although the physical still gets me rock... err thats another post...
I am more aware... of me... actions, motivations...I monitor my words, words have power... I've actually started correcting myself if I say something I don't believe... Old me and habits die hard... LOL
Those are a few things I know... There is so much more I don't... Sorry to get so deep, this was only supposed to be a light post... Apparently, that needed to come out...
Growing older is a wonderful thing... Relearning who you are, and how you relate to others... It's mad, and brilliant all in the same moment...

... And The List Goes On...


I'm posting this video for a couple of reasons... I loved this song back in the day... Dream Academy... This version however has a bit more country flair to it... Sugarland, Little Big Town, and Jake Owen... I first heard it in 2-step class... Yes, I started my list of things to do this year, and haven't kept you updated... I know bad blogger...

2-step was fun... I will probably go into intermediate, cause Country boys are HOT... I got a little crush on my instructor, we actually went out on a date... Unfortunately he still had a crush on his X... Anyway... So, I can draw a line through 2-step... While there, I tried to learn a line dance... That went over like a turd in a punch bowl, my feet got all mixed up, and I couldn't keep from running into people... So I am definitely drawing a line through that one... Violin lessons start on Monday the 16th, very excited about that... Lets hope that goes better than the line dancing... Anyway... I will vlog soon, and tell you how the lesson went...

Sydney pt. 2... Meeting Brenton...

... holy shit, I'm gonna be late... The Columbian Hotel... 2:30... shit... why am I so nervous... quit being crazy... damnit, I left my camera in the room... can't go back now... alright... turn up the music (i love my ipod).
Rewind... We've been emailing back and forth since I left The States... Brenton told me he had a pole dancing class at 4:00 on Saturday... Could we meet at 2:30 ... we could hang out for a while before his class... perfect...
It's 2:33... I'm at the crosswalk... The Columbian, is just on the other side... I see him standing there... My heart is racing, time seems to slow... Traffic is passing... He's wearing a black tank top, cargo shorts, and looks damn good doing it... He looks at me, not sure if he recognizes me or not, a van passes between us... I see my reflection in the windows... I'm wearing a hat, of course he doesn't recognize me... Time to walk... I start across the street... never taking my eyes off of him... I take my ear buds out of my ears... He sees me, and smiles... Sweet goddess... that smile... We hug... Damn, he feels good... He is a sexy man...
We chat while wondering through The Columbian... decide on coffee instead... head to the coffee shop... place our order and get a table at the door... We talk about everything... Life in Australia... Life in the States... Men (no fear of us competing for the same guys... we have different tastes... LOL)... Mardi Gras... Music (I let him hear a mix of a Kylie song... You'll never get to heaven if you're scared of gettin' high... I told him I would send it to him when I get home)... I listen to him... Damn that accent, those eyes, that smile... If I didn't think I would get arrested or a punch to the face, I would jump him right here... He is so fucking HOT...
We finish coffee, take a walk down Oxford... Hit the music shop, buy a couple of CDs... Damn, its time for his class, He asked if I want to come along... Ummm, let me think... Hell yeah...
We walk in the bar... From here on out, it gets a little jumbled... there is so much going on, I've got visual overload... some of this will be out of order... I meet his instructor (can't remember his name)... James (cute... insane body)... and later Thomas (tall... platinum blond hair... crazy built)... I'm seated at a table... perfect vantage point... Brenton, the instructor,and James, all strip down... Thomas comes in later, and strips down... Holy shit... I think I'm drooling... Brenton has an amazing body (everywhere)... I'm hitting the gym as soon as I get home... OMGoddess... and what they can do on that pole... Defying gravity like that... I'm dumbfounded... at one point James gets on the silks... simply amazing... Brenton asks me if I want to try the pole... LOL... umm no... I'm not that flexible... Thomas is really good, Brenton tells me that this is only his 4th lesson... and just like that its over... I could hang out with him all day... He is a great guy... and looks really good in tighty whiteys... LOL... We say our goodbyes, he walks me out... Brenton told me to take a walk down to Sydney Harbour, have a drink with all the boys... and that is exactly what I do... I hug his neck... Did I mention he feels really good... ;)
It rained pretty much the rest of my stay in Sydney... I didn't care.. It was an amazing adventure... I can't wait to go back... Maybe next time I'll be there for Mardi Gras... Who knows where I'll end up next...

Finally... Sydney pt.1

I arrived on Thursday afternoon... got a cab to my hotel, It's just off Oxford St.... I put my stuff away, and take a walk... I made the circuit around Oxford... The Shops... The Restaurants... The Hot Boys... Holy Shit... I'm in Sydney...
I went home... chillaxed for a bit... showered... went out... The Columbian Hotel (no really... its a bar)... Stonewall... The Midnight Shift... I stayed out a little too late... Got up early, walked, walked, walked... Oxford St... (did some shopping)... walked through Hyde park... Goddess that place is beautiful... absolutely amazing... My favorite place to eat... a thai restaurant on Oxford... are you ready... wait for it... Thai Me Up... LOL ... It was awesome...
Friday night... I had the pleasure of meeting Christer (McDreamy... and he is) We met for drinks at the Columbian... Its becoming my favorite place... We talked for what seemed like hours on the Perv Deck (it opens onto the sidewalk, you can perv on people as they walk by)... We headed to The Shift, played some pool and waited for Stefan (Christer's Partner) to get off work and meet us... Stefan... Hot as well... I love it here... He met us, we played some pool, had some drinks, then headed off to dinner... after dinner, a little sweet... My first taste of gelato... It was amazing (I think I need to get out more) LOL... while we were standing in front of the case to order what flavor we wanted... I really couldn't decide...

Gelatogirl- Our flavors are fruit or cream based...
Syn- I'm having a hard time deciding.
Gelatogirl- Well, are you fruity or creamy?
Syn- What did you call me?
Shop Girl- LOL, I called you fruity...
Syn- LOL ... (I look to my left at the muscle couple standing there laughing)...
Muscleboy- Yeah, but I hear he's creamy after midnight... LOL

I really love this place... People have been so nice... Anyway... as I was finishing my gelato it began to rain (just a sprinkle really) It was wonderful... I made my goodnights to the boys, and walked home (slowly) taking it all in, and getting a little wet in the process... Who cares... I made new friends, and I'm in a wonderful dream...
More to come later... I still have to tell you about meeting Brenton (Aussielicious)...

I didn't realize it would take me so long to get the Greece photos up... I have to go to Bamalama today... I'm Sorry... I will get the Australia photos up when I get back...
Seriously tho... I hope you're not disappointed... I didn't take as many pictures in Australia as I did in Greece... I did however wander around with big eyes, and my mouth open... A lot... I know that doesn't help...

Click on the photo... It will take you to the rest of them... I hope...

I'm Baaaaacckkkk...

Hey kids... I'm back from my trip... I had an amazing adventure... It was insane... I got in at 6am Thursday morning... slept most of the day... Got up at 3am this morning and have been going all day long... I honestly didn't want to come home... I loved everything about Australia...

Brisbane... I fell in love with Eagle St. Pier...I could see it from my hotel room... It was absolutely beautiful, I would go every morning and sit for hours... have a little breakfast... stare out at the water, watch the sun come up... Amazing... People watch (they sure do talk funny)... My hotel was on top of the Queen Street Mall (no jokes)... An open air mall spanning blocks... great shops, with pubs lining the center... Favorite pub there... The Pig and Whistle... giggle... It just makes me laugh... I walked and walked... went to the Botanical Gardens and got some great photos there... Only there for 3 days, unfortunately... Didn't get to meet Shaney and Nate... but there is always next time... I will definitely go back...

Next stop... Surfers Paradise, in the Gold Coast... the view alone was worth it... Absolutely beautiful... a little touristy... but beautiful nonetheless... I walked around a lot there as well (not risking a drive there)... Oh, I ordered room service for the very first time, that was awesome... even had breakfast in bed... (what... it's the little things in life... I'm easy) The craziest thing happened there... I scheduled my cab, early for the next morning... Got all packed up... Went down, had breakfast... about 30 minutes before my cab was to arrive, I went to check out... Ummm we don't have you checking out until tomorrow... LOL I checked my flight... It was for the next morning... What a Dumbass... I went unpacked a little, and went to the beach... got a little burnt there... Oh god tho... It was nice, just to relax... Oh... I got the closest thing to a sunset photo I could get... The sunrises were amazing... but I have to have a sunset photo... It's a thing with my Dad, my sister (Cinny) and me... We're quirky... Anyway, I couldn't get an amazing sunset... But got very close... :) Again, only 3 days there...

Next stop... Holy shit... Sydney... More on that later... I'm beat... Oh I will add the Australia photos and the Greece Photos, before I head to Bamalama, Saturday... I will also post the link... Cause I'm sweet like that...

I Am Such A Shitty Blogger...

Okay... I've been a little busy... but not too busy to blog... I suck... I know.
Christmas came and went... I had a nice time (short and sweet) with my family... New Year was low key... Just like I like it...
I don't normally make resolutions... I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves, to start and stick to something definitive in January, thats bullshit, and I wont do that to myself... Last year I decided to learn to swim and kick my fear of water, and the challenge was awesome...

This year the list of things I want to do, is a little longer...
1) Sometime this year, I want to learn to two-step (maybe line dancing)... although I couldn't do the Electric Slide back in the day...
2) I'm also interested in learning to Salsa... I think this year is about music and dancing...
Btw... I'm not gay enough to be Lord of the Dance... I'm just sayin'
3) I want to start Violin lessons... I've always wanted to learn to play... As a kid we were dirt poor and my Mom couldn't afford it... So I'm really excited... I really want to play the bridge in Dust In The Wind.. LOL

I leave in 2 weeks (and counting) on my vacation to Australia... My second time out of the country... I'm such a slackass, I still haven't booked my Hotels in Brisbane or Sydney... Last Minute Michael strikes again... I'm not even sure why... Who knows... I'm excited about the adventure, also a little nervous (I seriously do not want to cause an international incident)...

Just an update... More to come later (maybe) You know how I am...
