To get my mind off of my woes...I'm doing a meme. (I'm doing my own since no one ever names me to do one) Some people hate doing them...I don't. I think they are a great time waster and a good deal of fun when you are bored.
Like it or not the following people should repost and go along.
-Pointlessly Hypertechnical
-My Flock Rocks (Come out of hiding, chick...this one is mandatory)
-Maria's World
-Ramble On
-Conniesue at- Just My Intuition
And just so we have a male perspective in the gang:
-I Do Not Know Me (Come on Jack...you know you wanna)
The mission, should you choose to accept it- is to list 5 of your favorite indulgences or even the 5 things you cannot live without. Then send to 5 more friends, and repost the picture as well.
Ok...this message will self-destruct in 10 seconds.
Ok...it won't, but you get the picture.
Here goes nothing.
1.) I can not live without my son. He's the light, the upswing, the pure unadulterated joy, the one true thing in my life. He keeps me young and honest. Reminds me daily of the good things in life. He hugs me and tells me he loves me on the days that I think that no one else does. His smile is knowing and honest and open. His empathic nature reminds me how to be a good person.
I would be absolutely lost without him.
A lot of people make the comment to me that they don't know how I survive as a single parent. And that they "know" they couldn't do it themselves.
I think they have no idea of what you can do when you set your mind to it.
I think that when given the option to just trudge on or give up...that there is no option really.
I am no hero.
I am no one special.
As a matter of fact, my life would honestly be much more difficult without him in it.
I could not live without him.
2.) Music.
Music, as they say, is the food of life. Music soothes the savage beast. Music is the souls outcry for sanity. Music sustains me.
I can sit with my headphones on at the end of the day and literally feel the music in my skin, my bones. Good music puts me through the gamut of queried emotion. It can sometimes make me laugh, other times make me cry. Some days I want to dance, and others I was to curl up into a ball and cry my heart out. And while some of you may think that this is an argument for bi-polar-mania it is quite the opposite actually...music is what keeps that 4 headed beast away.
Music...I definitely would go bi-polar without it.
3.) My friends.
My friends ARE my family. They make me happy...and miserable all at the same time.
They love me despite my faults. They have been there in hard times and swell times.
They rock.
I could not live without them.
4.) Food.
As basic and biological as this may sound it's really more about my hedonistic nature. I love to eat. I love to cook. I love to indulge in things that aren't always good for me.
I love chocolate, and salty savory goodness.
I marvel at the chemical firestorm it creates in my brain when I am partaking in something sinfully good. It is a high which tops many things in my life...save one. (see #5)
5.) Sex.
No...I am NOT a nymphomaniac, nor am I an asphyxiating fetishist, or a sex addict.
I just happen to have leanings to that which is equally as sinful as rich food.
Perhaps more.
I take great pride in the fact that I am damn good at all things carnal and private.
I take great pride that I have honed the skill.
(Because anyone who tells you that they didn't get "good in bed" by practicing the act itself to appear the Madonna and NOT the whore...is LYING.)
I'm ok with the fact that my younger days had been wilder, and perhaps, even promiscuous. I have learned from my mistakes and re-invented myself to the limbo between the Madonna and the whore. I am pleased that while some things I have done in my past do not make me proud, at least I took some skill and knowledge away from it all, and not wasted the experience.
I love sex...
I love the visceral experience that the sex act gives me.
The taste, the touch, the hearing, the feeling...everything.
As I mentioned before...I am a bit of a hedonist (not to be confused with heathen)
I like pleasure, and pleasureable things.
Sex is one of them.
And if done right...REALLY pleasurable, for me and my partner of choice.
Sex is one of the the greater power's gifts to us...to be enjoyed and NOT ashamed of or fearful of.
Just be smart about it...and all will be rewarded.
This is my most guilty pleasure...
And something else I couldn't live without.
Hell...if I go more than a week or two, I'm a real difficult pill to swallow.
So there you have it.
Now it's your turn.
This will gauge who still actually reads my whiny ass. LOL
I was bored at work, what can I say.
Good luck ya'll.
Happy Turkey Day (again)-
Jaded.
