    Sorry, I had to do it...

    By viv,

    I took the 'What Color Rose Are You?' quiz...
     
    You Are an Orange Rose
     
    You represent desire and enthusiasm
     
    Your vibe: Sexy yet familiar
     
    Falling in love with you: happens instantly - it's a fast ride
     
    I took the "What Kind of Flirt Are You?' quiz...
     
    You Are a Friendly Flirt!
     
    You are quite the flirt, but you don't flirt with just anyone.
    And you hardly ever get caught, because your flirting seems so friendly.
    You've got a good thing going. Tons of friends, both guys and girls.
    And if you do decide to flirt, hardly anyone's the wiser. Pretty trick!
     
    I took the 'How Girly Are You?' quiz...
     
    ***You Are 36% Girly***
     
     
    You are a pretty hardcore tomboy, and a very free spirit.
    Gender roles be dammed, you like to do things your way.
     
    I took the 'Are You A Girl Or A Woman?' quiz...
     
    Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
     
    Inside you've got the passion and ideals of a teenager
    And your intensity for life is what attracts most of the men you date
    You also like to party - and quite often you're the life of the party
    You've brought the best of your younger years with you... at least most of the time.
     
    I took the 'What You Know About Your Guy' quiz...
     
    What You Know About Your Guy: Practically Everything
     
    You have gotten to know your man really well
    From his hopes and dreams to favorite things...
    You definitely have enough info to figure out if he's *the* guy
    In fact, you may know him a little better than you know yourself
     
    I took the 'What Scent Are You?' quiz...
     
    Your Scent is Pumpkin Pie
     
    Warm, comforting, and a bit old fashioned
    You've got what men want - believe it or not!
     
    I took the 'What Kind Of Flower Are You?' quiz...
     
    You Are A Lily
     
    You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
    People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
    You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
    Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.
     
    Anyway, enough of that...
     
    I finished my anthology and sent it in! Edited a few great ones too, so really looking forward to seeing what you guys have come up with.
     
    Hugs for my Angel! Survived another weekend
     
    I'm STILL sick, and now so is Davey. He said I gave him my germs and! we didn't even get to do anything fun like make out either. *pouts* Get better Sweetie
     
    Hugs,

    OMFG! it's finally done!

    By viv,

    Yes, that's right, the refinance from hell is finished and as of Saturday I deposited a HUGE check into my bank account. Not that it matters all that much since it is all already spent, but in ways that are SO worth it! I am getting rid of my sister, fixing Rich's car so I don'y have to put the TAXI sign on top of MY NEW CAR!!! Paying off all my debt, and it feels great! PS. Thanks to all of you who got in the 'kick Viv's sis' ass and then moved on over to the brother's ass' line, and especially to my sweetie who, it seems, should be sending me his phone bill this month.
     
    My anthology entry is almost finished too! Hopefully by the end of today or tomorrow for sure and then after I get my Davey approval I can send it into Kitty! Excited, but still looking for a title, no worries though, I'm sure it'll come to me by the time I finish it.
     
    Okay so... I guess you all know I edit for a few people.. Davey Dezlboi Jason, occasionally a few others, and now Shdowgod... so welcome to the club Steve! An elite group of writers we are but seriously.. I am quite impressed by his ability to capture moments in time in the way that he does. Take a few minutes, I promise it will be worth your while and read his story, it's fantastic and as I get deeper and deeper into it, I'm so hooked and connected to the characters. Here's a link... use it http://www.gayauthors.org/eficiton/viewstory.php?sid=189 It's called Living In Surreality.
     
    So I was sick... still am a bit I guess, but nothing major. No fever or cough, just my head, feeling like it weighs a thousand pounds and not being able to breathe.. details right? But I feel some better today. Maybe it has to do with the two mornings I slept in until 10 am... or the whole day I spent in bed yesterday, except for when I had to go to work last night.
     
    My friend had her sons' 4th birthday party Saturday.. the same friend who just had the baby... so I got to hold the baby, and snuggle her, and feed her, and freak the hell out of Rich He was like... Babe, you need to give the baby back, I think someone else wants a turn, NO!!!!!!!! which was funny cause I really am okay with us being done having kids, I actually enjoy the TINY bit of freedom we do get. But I love babies! Her son, everyone send him your good thoughts though please, since today he is having his second open heart surgery of his life, after only 4 short years. Good luck little guy!
     
    More mail from Tobi! Still doing fine, but bored like crazy on the weekends and busier than heck on the weekdays.
     
    Congratulations to Kevin and the new car! Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys, Kevin, Jason, Conner, Dio, and anyone else I missed.
     
    So Davey made me about his anthology story... but still, it's very emotionally moving, grabs hold of you and won't let go till the end, and not even then! Don't forget to read that one for sure!
     
    Guess I better get back to the writing, but I thought I better update this thing... it's been a while!
     
    Hugs everyone!

    Okay, well not in that order exactly... but it sounded better. Actually, I came, I broke my panties, THEN I chatted... and had SUCH a great time! So... thanks you guys! It was awesome! So many of you showed up and I am still so surprised about that, I'll admit. Kevin AFF, Kevin Bard, Krista, Conner, Drew, Justin, Natey, Robbee, Grant, James, Tony, Steve, CJ, Kurtie, Joey, I'm sure there are more that I am so... horribly forgetting so I'll apologize for that now. But my point was.... OMG! you guys... thanks so much! I had a seriously phenomonal time!
     
    So yeah... the panties thing... They really did break! And no, it was not Rich's fault either. Just... I guess that happens from wear and tear but... these were the purple satin string bikini's and... they broke! The best part of the story though is... since they broke... I threw them out, and the next day Rich was doing some laundry and says, "Okay so something weird... your purple underwear are missing!" So I say, "Yeah, they broke, so I threw them out." So he says, "Broke?!" LOL! I think it's oddly... sweet that Rich is keeping tabs on my panties!
     
    So it's pink lemonade Jolly Rancher time now, while I am listening to KROQ online since SNOW PATROL is supposed to be playing LIVE in less than 10 minutes!!
     
    I heard from Tobi! He posted this as a comment in my last blog but I thought I'd put it out here again... So for anyone wondering where I was, I'm in England now, for 5 months, out of internet, but fine. Hugs to all of you guys. I miss you, Tob
     
    So, in better news... my brother has finally signed the refinance papers for our house and they should be arriving at Tony's house today for him to sign, and back here by Wednesday for us to sign again... I am SO getting a stamp this time cause OMFG! But whatever, it has to be done... I'll just pretend I'm signing my autograph or something.
     
    So, and a side note... this is the 4th paragraph I've startes with 'so'... but on with it, SO... I called home on my break yesterday, like every day, and yeah, we have caller ID, but when Rich answered he said, "Hello my lovely wife!" And then later he asked me to come home early cause he missed me.
     
    Eric is sick! Get better Beautiful! I miss your smooches... but I just can't risk getting sick making out with you so... hurry up already!
     
    So I stopped to get gas today... in my jammies I really should try putting on clothes when I leave the house... since I'm getting dressed anyway right?
     
    Okay, 5 pages into the fall anthology! Totally loving it so far... I hope it turns out well. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
     
    Okay, what else... I totally LOVE that song, The Kill, by 30 Seconds to Mars! HUGE bonus.. Jared Leto... VERY pretty!
     
    Okay so, I gave this guy I work with the address to my site so he could read my blog, before I realized that he could read my stories there too So now I'm nervous, but he's cool totally sweet and not judgemental so, I'm sure I'll be fine! Anyway, I'm totally freaking out too cause... well, no one but my family and all of you know I even write stuff... deep breaths! Waves hi to G from work!
     
    Alright... so thanks to Bard for all the amazing questions in the live chat! I don't know how long you spent coming up with them all, but they were fantastic! So, thanks Kev!
     
    Kay, off to edit!~ Write, and hopefully not break anymore panties!
     
    Hugs, Viv
     
    PS. My sweetie is snoozin' right now... maybe drooling all cutely, but I hope he gets some rest and comes back to play with me soon And, angel... ANGEL what can I say? It's just... one card OMFG! They are AMAZING! Snow Patrol, LIVE, singing Chasing Cars!

    I quit!

    By viv,

    So hey there...
     
    I have a funny story! At work on tuesday I had to write this proposal and after I spent two hours researching and answering all the questions and writing it, I took it to my boss for approval. He started reading it and said, "This is a little over the top. Have you ever thought about quitting and becoming a writer?" So I giggled and said, "Yeah, actually I have!" But I'll probably never be that brave ,plus I seem to be a glutton for punishment.
     
    Still dealing with some family crap, but hey, things will work out... they always do, and besides... I can always crash at Davey's place
     
    I have three days off this week which is like... unheard of so... woohoo!
     
    I'm officially hooked on playing this online scrabble! Sooooooooooooo fun!
     
    So I started a new story, and I'm 4 pages into it now, and really excited about how it's coming along. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
     
    God bless whoever invented pizza! What? I'm just saying...
     
    So I'm really excited about all this stuff going on here at GA... the scavenger hunt, and the newsletter, and the new Hosted Author Live Chats. The first one will be this Saturday, the 23rd, at 7 pm... PST with... ME! Yeah I know, I talk alot anyway, so much that they had to schedule me a whole chat right? Nah, seriously, come out and say hi and we'll... chat of course, about my stories or whatever, and get to know each other! Should be fun! Here in the Live Chat in a subroom called Viv.
     
    Hope everyone has a great weekend!
    Hugs, Viv
     
    P.S. I forgot! Chapter 22 of FBTE is up!! Finally!
  6. viv
    Okay so I'll go ahead and give you all fair warning now... I have had a crap week and this will probably be a crap blog... you know, Viv, whining and complaining, only in the end to realize she's being dumb and ungrateful... so if you choose to stay and read... I won't be held responsible
     
    So let's see...
     
    We'll start with Thursday... My daughter turned 11 Happy Birthday Punkin! I suggested to Rich that since we aren't having the kids birthday parties for a few weeks still, that we take them each, on their birthday, and do something fun as a family. I asked him what he wanted to take her to do, he said... very nicely, giving, adult-like and several times... that it was her birthday and to let her choose... so I did... she chose roller skating which is fine with me, I love to roller skate... Rich, not so much, but we go... blah blah, turned out badly, and I was pissed at him and she ended up feeling guilty and sad because he wasn't having fun...
     
    I had to work like crazy all weekend, Friday night till 11 pm, back Saturday at 9 am till 6 pm, where my boss said I could leave when he did and then promptly left my ass behind at 5 when he left... Sunday all day 2 to 11 pm. At work Saturday, I spent all day putting together some spreadsheet, analyzing all the information from all the accidents in the store so my boss could email it to his boss, my boss, and his boss' boss.. or whatever, and we were the first store done and WAY early so he's looking pretty good cause he says I kick ass.
     
    Monday was my sons' birthday! We went to sign the refinance papers with my sister... that is an hour and a half of my life I'll never get back, but I swear it's worth it if she gets the hell out of my house! When I picked my son up from Kindergarten he had this birthday crown on and then he wore it ALL night! To the lender to sign the papers, to the restaurant for dinner, he wanted salad and they sang to him loudly! You know when they get to the part of the song where they say, "happy birthday dear..." and your name goes here... well they used a nickname for his name, one we never use, so after they all left he turned and asked me if that was his name, and I told him it could be if he wanted, and he said no, how about... insert other nickname I call him that Rich hates.
     
    I worked Tuesday.. lame meeting... then Tuesday night we are sitting in Mc'Donalds and my friend calls me to ask me how she knows if her water broke?? And I was thinking... cause the first 3 kids you had weren't enough of an indication :wacko: but whatever, so I go outside to have this conversation, thinking that not everyone eating probably wants to hear it, and tell her yes, that's what happened and to call her doctor. She says she did and they aren't answering so I tell her to call the ER and she does and a half hour later I get a call from her asking if she can drop her kids off for the night at my house so she can go have a baby... so of course I say yes. She has a girl my daughter's age, another daughter, age 7, and a son age 3... never been away from home before... but we handle it and it goes fine
     
    So Wednesday morning... I have 7 people to get 4 different places by 8 am with 5 seatbelts... logistical problem, I'd say... but I press on... I get up at 5:30 am and shower with Rich and we put my son and her little guy in the car and drop him at preschool at 6:30 am when it opens, poor guy was the only kid there then I take Rich to work and drop him off an hour early, so I can carpool lane back home with my son to pick up the 3 girls and drop the 4 of them at school by 7:30 to have breakfast and get myself to work by 8 for my lame ass conference call. Ugh! Exhausted yet? Then I got into an argument with Rich... lame and SO over him acting like that... whatever~
     
    Then yesterday... I talked to Davey some... and Hugs for my darlin and all of you! Then I got my palm read with Eric and it was crazy accurate, and I went to work till midnight and then on my way home... I am less than a mile from my house, I am supposed to get off on the next exit.. and they have it closed and are moving everyone down to one lane of traffic, so I have to go passed my exit and home to the next exit and get back on the freeway going the opposite direction to get home at 12:30 am
     
    So I wake up a little late this morning since I got to bed so late... and I am rushing to get the kids to school in time and it's light blue shirt day, etc... and so I just throw on some jammies and go. After I drop the kids off, I noticed a policeman sitting right by the school, and I knew... anyway, I get pulled over and get a fix-it ticket for my registration being overdue... in my jammies... so I get back home and pick up Rich and drive him to work. So he sees the ticket, and me being the smart ass I am, and him being so... paranoid about how I drive even though I did some crazy dukes of hazard driving the other day when some lady tried to kill us and saved us... so anyway he sees the ticket and asks, "What's that for?" and I say, "For speeding in a school zone and not coming to a complete stop and driving through a crosswalk while there were kids in it..." and his comment was... "Did he say anything about the registration?" Way to ruin my moment!
     
    Anyway so I drop him off this morning and as he is getting out of the car he asks me, "Did you hit someone?" So, I say,"NO!!!" and he says, "Well, someone hit you then..." cause there is white paint and a mark on my car, probably from some dumbass who doesn't know how to drive or park... in California, that is REALLY shocking!
     
    SO anyway... the upshot of it all is... There is a new baby in the world, so welcome to it sister! At least I'm not in jail for overdue registration in my jammies, and I'm not off till Sunday... but I have lots of, people that love me and that I love back and I'm gonna try and quit whining now and smile some...
     
    Congratulations to my angel! Newest shared hosted author... Dezlboi!! You deserve it hun!
     
    Davey... I wish I was there with ya, all of you!
     
    Joey...I'm sorry about.. .the lameness... and we need MORE time! Cause I miss ya!
     
    Natey... It's gonna be fine so stop worrying and breathe and smile before... I come over there and make you ride shotgun to pick him up!
     
    Hugs everyone,
    Viv
     
    PS. The chapter is almost done finally! SO it's coming soon! Thanks for your patience!!
  7. viv
    The answer to that, my friends, is... a) I'm a grown up b ) I'm a mom c) I'm a wife d) I'm a control freak e) All of the above... If you guessed 'e' folks... you would be correct. :wacko:
     
    But in bigger and better news... It's my baby's birthday today! So that means that eleven years ago today... I was having my first baby and... trying not to die, almost literally... But, she's eleven today, obviously, and as much as I whine about her attitude and her... normal young girl behavior, she is a wonderful, good hearted, kind, smart, giving, very beautiful girl and so... Happy Birthday Punkin'...
     
    So let's see here... I have had one hell of a few weeks since I last posted.. and I won't get into it all here, but I do have to say a few things and then I have a couple funny stories to tell, and then I'll shut up
     
    So to Davey... I don't even know what to say really.. Everytime I feel like we can't get any closer than we are, except maybe geographically, which would be... amazing, we find a way to, even if we did it in some f**ked up- ass backward way this time... I love you Sweetie, and thanks for holding my hand and making me smile and listening and calling and talking to Rich and... just everything!
     
    Angel... Okay so it's safe to say that I officially miss ya. Even if all we are doing is whining to each other, somehow.. I love it. Call me crazy... since you probably already do but I love just hanging out with you and laughing... and the no pressure, and tons of support thing we have happening That and trash talkin Rich's car.
     
    Eric... Go kick some ass! Hug Billy and smooches for Josh and Joe gets special love, of course! Thanks for getting freaky with me all the time and for being your beautiful self always.
     
    Natey, Joey, Ronnie... Welcome back to school! You all are amazing brains.. so I'm sure it'll be a piece of cake and you'll have lots of time to... boy watch...
     
    Tobi... I miss you and I hope you are having a great time in England and maybe... Hugs!
     
    Petey... I hug you almost every day, but I like to hug so... that's just fine with me! Welcome back to work
     
    Okay so now for the funny stories...
     
    I had to work on Monday, which was Labor Day here in America, and there is this little old lady that always comes into my store to shop and comes through my line. You know the type, with her white hair and her little hat that matches her purse and her shoes with her southern accent. So she walks up and I say, "Hi, how are you today?" She says, "Oh, fine thanks, how are you?" I say, "I'm good, thank you. Did you find everything alright?" and she says, "Why yes, I did." Then out of the blue she asks, " Are you married?" so I reply, "Yes, I am... Why?" and she says... "Well, because you are always so nice and so sweet and such a pretty, pretty girl... I was gonna invite you home to meet my son." So I laugh cause... is she for real? AND does her son know his mom is out picking up women for him!? So then at the end of the conversation she tells me she is 83... so at best the son must be almost 50! So yeah, I have a hot date waiting in the wings or something.
     
    The next story is... We were in the car on our way to have some dinner and go to... COSTCO.. gasp! and the freeway on ramp near my house has a traffic signal there and as I approached it, the signal turned red so of course, being the law abiding, safe driver that I am... I stop. So this chick behind me honks at me... ME!!! So I say, and of course only the people in my car can hear me and not the one person I am actually talking to, but whatever, "Don't f**king honk at me for stopping like I am supposed to!" So anyway, I wait till it's safe and go right onto the on ramp and then I hear the kids... and my daughter is saying, "OOOOh!!! Daddy stuck up the middle finger at her!" so I am stifling my giggle totally at how they don't seem at all upset that I just said f**k and GASP!!! RICHARD!! How could you?!
     
    Then we get to this new Thai BBQ place we have never been to before and we go in and Rich is a pretty picky eater, but even he's cool with the selection, but my daughter is in tears. So I'm like... what is your deal? And she is crying because they have duck on the menu and EVERYTHING is made with oyster sauce and she hates fish! Now she isn't going to get to eat any dinner... MASSIVE EYE ROLL!!! So we explain to her that's usually how most asian foods are prepared and she just never knew it before and she only sort of believes us but we eat anyway and of course she lived through it and didn't starve and didn't have to eat a duck...
     
    I actually got some writing done, and some editing too... I suppose... I should start on my anthology entry eh? Oh and... the scavenger hunt... Play! Have fun! The prize is awesome you guys so.. seriously, go for it! The prize will be a one of a kind, and all yours, IF.. you play and if you win!
     
    Okay so Davey just kicked my ass in scrabble! That won't be happening again! Giggle!
     
    Hugs to everyone, Happy Birthday to Drew...
    Viv
     
    PS. Vance, you're sweet, and I miss my Kevin, and Foxy, I hope... you survived and to Snowy... I'm smiling if you are!

    Okay so on the agenda for this 99th blog...
     
    One cute as hell story!
     
    One request from me to my friends.
     
    Kevin - Bardeara's nickname.
     
    Benny taught me something new!
     
    ... and stuff
     
    So this blog begins one day driving down the freeway for the ninety-millionth time today with my son in the back seat and he says to me, "I love you Mom." So I reply, "I love you too!" To which he replies, "I love you three," and before you know it I am saying, "I love you one hundred!" So, the next afternoon, which was today when I picked him up from kindergarten, his teacher came over to tell me she was so impressed that he could already count to one hundred, since to pass kindergarten at the end of the school year the kids only have to be able to count to thirty. So I smile like the proud mommy I am, and then she tells me he needs to practice cutting with scissors though Nevermind he is WAY proificient with numbers, but let's just let him run around with scissors :wacko:
     
    Okay so since this is my 99th blog... I would like to ask anyone interested, to submit a question, something you want to know about me but don't or are afraid to ask... or if you are a good friend of mine and would like to write a little blurb about me that I can put in my 100th blog I would really appreciate it! You can leave questions here as replies or PM me with them and if you want to remain anonymous, I'm totally cool with that! So thanks in advance!
     
    Okay Kevin - Bardeara officially has a nickname, and will hereafter be known as BABE! Now there is a whole explanation as to why I picked this name, even if he really is a babe but I'll let him explain that if he so chooses.
     
    So today I was chatting with Benny and Vance... pretty boy and I had soooooooooooo much fun cause Benny taught Vance and I how to make those paper dolls that are all attached and holding hands and I was SO proud that I did it! I was actually clapping and giggling and laughing out loud And Vancey... I am NOT the teacher's pet that would be... Murphy!
     
    Umm in other news.. SO proud of my angel for finally believeing in himself Apparently it means more when he hears how good he is from all you cute boys than from me But, nevertheless, that doesn't change the fact that he is, in fact, GOOD!, Really good, great even, verging on... fantastic.
     
    Sweetie... I love you and your SUPERB smile and that amazing laugh you have, and I am waiting for it!
     
    I'm SLOWLY getting chapter 22 written and I signed up for the fall anthology too.
     
    I have a friend of mine who is writing a story and who I'm sure would appreciate some feedback if anyone is interested... I will warn you that English isn't his first language, but he does quite well! Anyway, here is the link... http://library.gaycafe.com/nifty/gay/highs...dangerous-love/
     
    Anyway... I'm exhausted! This taxi driving and up at 6:30 am and not in bed till 1 am thing is getting old real quick! But it's only temporary, by September, it should be over and I should have a new car! Vivian does a happy dance!
     
    Hugs guys... don't forget to send a question or comment for the 100th blog!
    Vivian
     
    PS. Natey and Ronnie... the pep talking begins now! Congrats to Zac and Joey sitting in a tree Tobi! I miss you and Petey... I officially have another member to add to our growing fanclub

    I don't know if there is a 'blog anniversary' but if there is... Happy 1 Year Anniversary to... me One year ago today, I wrote and posted my first blog and since then... 97 blogs later I've found it to be an outlet, a fun way to communicate, a great way to discuss things, to tell stories, and to get feedback from people about all kinds of things... so I want to say thanks to everyone who has taken the time to ever read, write, respond, mention, etc... to me about it because I really appreciate it and more than that, I enjoy it, you all make me smile and laugh and love and it's amazing!
     
    Well, I am feeling some better, and SOOOOOOOOOOO many thanks to all of you who left me 'get well' messages and run by hugs and kisses! I'm not 100% yet, but I'm getting better and I guess I can't complain about that right?
     
    So my little guy started Kindergarten on Wednesday and... OMG!!! He is too cute! The kids are all so tiny and looking so cute with their backpacks on. It's kind of funny cause it's like you just know that if you even put anything in that backpack they are just gonna flop over backwards cause it's just too heavy for these little guys to carry.
     
    Our kids get to eat breakfast at school, so on the first day we took them to school and I had my daughter, who is a big 6th grader this year, help her baby brother and watched as he carefully juggled his breakfast and paid for it and carried it to the table and then we watched as she helped him get situated and then after they were finished eating they walked out of the cafeteria and she waved goodbye to us and ran off to look for her friends, cause who needs us right? She's a big girl now and we're boring so...
     
    We walked the little guy to his classroom and he hung his backpack on his hook outside and then we went to his red chair at the red table and he was coloring... Rich is asking me if I'm gonna cry, he sort of has this tactic he uses, I have figured out... See, he asks me before it happens in hopes to ward off the tears so he doesn't have to deal with it. He does it in movies, in emotional situations, etc... Anyway, so I honestly tell him that if my son cries, I will, but if he doesn't, I'll be fine. He didn't, I didn't, it was cool
     
    So we left him there coloring and when I went to pick him up on the first day it was too cute watching him walk in line and I don't think he realized it was time to go home because he wasn't even looking for me, and when I did finally get to him and asked him how his day was, he said, "Good." I asked him the standard questions... What was your favorite part? The slide! He went down! Did you make a lot of friends? Yes! What are their names? I don't know.
     
    So on day two, we just dropped the two of them off and this time when I went to pick him up, he was looking for me and when he saw me he ran over and I had to send him back to the line and wait for his teacher to dismiss him. So then once she did, I asked him how his day was and he said, "COOL!" and then proceeded to ask me like five times how my day was... like he's worried I'll be bored at home without him! So again he had fun and again he made lots of friends and again I asked their names and he said, "I told you! Lots!"
     
    Anyway, besides that it is totally cute and he is having so much fun and that he is so excited to be back at school, it's really sweet, and I think my favorite part... she says selfishly... is when I see his little head looking around for me and the smile I see when he finds me waiting for him, and the super tight squeezer hugs he gives me when he runs over!
     
    So in honor of the one year deal... and just cause I need to organize my thoughts and make some decisions... here is a list of all nicknames and their owners...
     
    Davey - Sweetie, Captain, Little bro
    Chris - Darlin'
    Eric - Beautiful
    Jeff - Angel
    Kevin AFF - Foxy
    Benny - Gorgeous
    Drew - Sweetheart
    Joey - The Man
    Natey - Naters, Dimples
    Petey - Cutie
    Tobi - Sunshine
    Kevin Bard - Kev... but... I need to think of something better! Maybe... Kitten??
    Ronnie - Hun
    Vance - Peanut Butter for now, but I will think of something more appropriate soon!
     
    Did I miss anyone? I'm sure I did... the sneezing is making it hard to concentrate so I guess I should apologize if none of this makes any sense...
     
    In other news... I actually have been writing and making some progress so hopefully I'll have a new chapter for all of you who have been so patiently waiting and or politely nudging me pretty soon. And yes, I do plan on continuing Days of Silence so the uproar can be put to rest! It will be from Lucas' POV though, and it will be called A Time for Truth. Coming soon also
     
    To the several of you who I know who are out there writing stuff and I have taken a look at it... Keep it up! PLEASE!! You guys are doing great and I can't wait to see more! And... I'm happy to do anything I can to help so c'mon okay!
     
    Hugs and kisses,
    Vivian the one year blogger
     
    PS. Vance, you are so sweet and so nice and fun and I'm so glad we managed to get 'introduced'
  11. viv
    So we'll try it again... although maybe it's cause I am SO damn sick I have no patience to concentrate on anything except stopping my head from exploding
     
    Called the DMV :wacko: and it seems that even though they tell us to wait 6 weeks before even attempting to talk to a human, it seems they have known since week 2 that I never got my new liscence and so now I have an appointment there today at 3:45 to tell them to resend it to me since I never got it, although they already f**king know that and in case you were wondering, like I know you are... the answer is no. NO, I cannot get the real live human on the phone with me to do that and yes... yes, I actually have to go there to tell them something they already know!
     
    Three stores later... no Lightning McQueen backpacks ANYWHERE so now we have Spiderman... whatever, he's cool about it so that's fine.
     
    I got a new tire... but it took 2 freaking hours!! Holy crap! I could have changed it faster!
     
    I am taking the little guy to get a haircut today and then after lunch the school is having an ice cream social today as sort of a get-to-know your teacher and classmates thing so I guess I'll have to go be 'social' while feeling like total crap
     
    Rich is being SO sweet! Taking care of me and cuddling me and medicating me and bringing me tissue and cuddling me and he keeps asking, "Are you gonna be okay?" I think... he's worried about running out of clean undies...
     
    So while I was out, I bought my daughter some more bras... but this time they look like real ones and when I picked up Rich I said... 34A and he was like huh? and then.. he was like... Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ack! and don't tell me! Hehehehe
     
    Tony is leaving to go back to school in a about 2 weeks... I'll miss him, even if my house is total chaos when he's home and I hear "Mooooooooooooooom! Tony......" way too much
     
    I called in sick yesterday... which I never did until recently... but I really am sick so... and I LOVE my boss!
     
    Randy: Thank you for calling... 'store I work in'
     
    Me: Hey, it's Vivian.
     
    Randy: Hey Viv
     
    Me: It's sick Viv 'groan'
     
    Randy: NO! You have to work, you aren't allowed to be sick!
     
    Me: I know! It's in the Mom manual right?
     
    Randy: Yeah! Kay well, feel better...
     
    Me: I'm sorry!
     
    Randy: Nope! Just get better!
     
    *Reminds herself to return the videos to Blockbuster today*
     
    Kay I'm going.. I have a hot Scotsman waiting for my attention
     
    Love... Sick Viv
     
    PS. Angel where is that cute ass of yours?
  12. viv

    still thinking of one...

    By viv,

    Quick style blogging today
     
    I'm sick
     
    I just got a flat tire on the freeway on my way home from taking Rich to work at 8 am in my pajamas with both kids in the car and Tony came to rescue me
     
    I have to go get a new tire now... adds that to huge and still growing list of crap to get done today :wacko:
     
    Also have to call the DMV to find out why I STILL don't have my new drivers lisence after I renewed it online over 6 weeks ago
     
    My son starts Kindergarten on Wednesday and we HAVE to go find him a Lightning McQueen backpack today and then when we find it, I HAVE to say yes he can have it... those are his instructions He is all excited and they are having a little ice cream party on Tuesday so the kids can meet some of their classmates and their teacher... awwwwwww, my baby is... still a baby, but growing up!
     
    I have to go turn in the registration packet for him now that we have survived the evil doctor visit and the vaccines
     
    I NEED to get my new car like yesterday damnit!
     
    I was up till 3:45 in the morning trying to explain to Rich why I can't/don't want to tell him that I ever feel jealous/envious because that is like me giving away the control I have over the situation and worse, it validates him feeling/acting like that to me and he and I both know that he is an over acheiver in that category.
     
    Vivian does not like not being in control... and apparently does like referring to herself in the third person
     
    Tony finally shaved and you can actually see how totally cute he is, and... he is finally 'hanging out' with this girl I work with that I have thought would be great for him for a few years now!
     
    I listened to the same semi-depressing song all night Saturday night... Home by Michael Buble... I heard it in the movie The Wedding Date and by the way, I think I have a HUGE crush on Dermot Mulroney... not cause I think he is super hot, although he does have a certain sexiness to him and that deep rumbly voice and great smile... but more because every character he plays is so God damned amazing and smooth! In the movie he says these two lines and I was all... SWOON and Rich was like but I don't care...
     
    In one scene she is telling him how she feels stupid cause she knows nothing about him and he knows all this personal stuff about her and he says to her, "I hate anchovies, I have a degree from Brown University, and I think I'd miss you even if I had never met you." Did I say swoon? Cause it gets better...! Later on after the big dramatic fight... he goes to find her and says, "I realized I would rather fight with you than make love with anyone else."
     
    Okay I guess I need to go get ready and showered since it seems I have a hot date with a tire repair guy and a backpack... whoopee!
     
    Hugs,
    Sore throat and sniffly Vivian
  13. viv

    hug me baby!

    By viv,

    Rich gives REALLY great hugs! Just thought you might all like to know that... I think it must have something to do with how much bigger he is than me and how I can just melt and hide and be totally consumed by him... sigh...
     
    I am actually gonna write today! I promised myself... so this is gonna be short, kinda like me... well actually, just like me
     
    So after Davey posted that piece he found about the twin flames I sat in my car at work and wrote him a sappy message... but it really is how I feel so I hope he doesn't mind me tellling you all too...
     
    I said... This flame burns brightly, strong and eternal, as it has since the first day it was ignighted, and as it will each day until forever... I love you Sweetie! and it's true.. I do.
     
    I LOVE this line from the new Chili Peppers song Dani California... "She's a runner, rebel, and a stunner..."
     
    It's official... I have gotten Joey hooked now too Yay!
     
    So, I LOVE being a mom too! I get the best hugs and I get to look at my beautiful kids every day and smile and laugh with them and cuddle them... it's a phenomonal experience! Even if that means I have to see 8 am sometimes... GASP! I have to take my son to the doctor on Thursday for shots for kindergarten... but don't tell him kay?
     
    He likes this guy... so that's for you little guy!
     
    Okay enough! I AM going to write! Right after I read what my angel sent
     
    Foxy, hope you have a safe trip! Beautiful glad to have you back on the same continent. Kev... smile okay?
     
    Hugs, Viv
     
    PS. Petey and Joey.. yay for you guys! and Jason... HUGS!!!!!

    PINK lemonade

    By viv,

    So yeah... did you know that what they put into the pink lemonade to make it pink is actually grape juice? I find this funny cause I LOVE pink lemonade and I really don't like grape juice at all... weird huh?
     
    So, I can't go into details here... so don't even ask... but... I LOVE Rich! I mean, I know you already knew that... and so did I for that matter... but he did something so sweet for me and it has shown me something and made me smile like crazy! So, thanks babe! I love you!
     
    So it's official... Tony is now single again, and I am trying to deal with his somewhat broken heart. It's funny cause I think if he had taken the initiative to break up with her instead of vice-versa... he wouldn't be so sad... but I know he was thinking about it too. I'm just waiting for him to realize this is okay and in the end, probably a good thing... I just can't say that to him right now. But... poor Tony!
     
    Okay so I randomly and out of the blue got this email from... Rich's brothers' ex girlfriend, who he has a son with. When Rich and I were just getting together I remember the first 'family function' he brought me to was Michael's first birthday party... and now the kid is 14!! and SO cute! and... looks just like his dad. I miss the guy ya know!
     
    I think I'm tired... is that allowed? I don't know, I'm pretty sure it's not, according to the mom manual, but a nap sounds REALLY good right now and I only got out of bed like 2 hours ago I do recall there being some rule about the dog watching the kids though :wacko:
     
    Working again tonight...
     
    Some people I need to hug! Luc Sweetie Angel!! I miss ya Eric the beautiful! The man... for being so smart and so strong... Ronnie, Natey, Tobi, Petey,
     
    Umm, Kev... where the heck are ya? Worrying me is NOT nice!
     
    Have a good weekend everyone!
    Vivian
     
    PS. You have a GREAT shoulder! Nice meeting you Vin!
  15. viv

    my name is viv...

    By viv,

    ... and it's been 12 days since my last blog. Whatever I can quit anytime, I swear!
     
    So much to say, and I'm sure I won't even remember it all so forgive me and I'll apologize in advance for the random crap that is to follow....
     
    Okay so... Petey has officially made me Westlife's newest fan!! *Giggles like some crazy 16 year old* ... Talk about ways to hold onto my youth eh? PS. I LOVE Shane... *Screams like an insane fan!* okay well tone it down a little maybe but you get the idea. Anyway I REALLY love the song World of our Own! Amazing lyrics!
     
    So I know to them this is just me being supportive, and I am, but... I really, REALLY mean the following so you both can just deal! You guys are both very talented writers who give a very strong message in your stories. Your stories come from your hearts and that is part of what makes them so great, the other part is how they are expressly 'you' and you both are amazing people with beautiful hearts! So read their stories... http://www.gayauthors.org/eficiton/viewstory.php?sid=119 by Dave and http://www.gayauthors.org/eficiton/viewstory.php?sid=122 by Dezlboi, they have more in the efiction section, but these are the newest of their projects. and then give them some feedback!
     
    Tony and his girlfriend are having drama... and I am trying to be neutral about the advice I give him and not just say break up with the girl.. but I kinda think he should. I really don't think they are the right people for each other... not that it's my choice to make. Sigh...
     
    Okay so I have to say.. thanks Foxy! The super starter of all things in my forum almost... I was so excited to come home and see what people had to say about the anthology stories... and you had started that topic and thanks! That, and I love reading your reviews~
     
    I feel like my head is spinning, so much has happened and I'm trying to remember it all :wacko: I've been kind of on an emotional rollercoaster the last 2 weeks and I think it's finally over... and before you all think it... it was not hormonal... this time! I tried to stick up for myself... finally, and I still don't know how well that went, and I gave all kinds of pep talks to some really great guys! Anyway, I think the best part was Davey though like always, he managed to find a way to make me smile like crazy! Love you Sweetie!
     
    Okay Davey sent me this quiz... http://www.blogthings.com/howevilareyouquiz/ thingy... and I took it... and apparently I am 32% evil Me?? Evil!? Psh, as if! I would tell you all to go take it but it must be broken or something.
     
    So, it was 105 degrees here the other day and the weather report said 'feels like 111' and I was thinking... like it f**king matters at that point! and then the next day it was thundering and rainy and humid as all hell and just... miserable.
     
    I've been reading like crazy and not getting any writing at all done... and I can't really decide if I want to finish FBTE first or start on A Time for Truth... and editing like crazy too! SO many good stories going on right now!
     
    Okay so... hope everyone has a great week! Ronnie!! OMG good luck hun!
     
    Love ya,
    Vivian
     
    PS. Sweetie! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many thank you's! Snowy...

    Horror at the dentist!

    By viv,

    Okay so I had a dentist appointment this morning and since Rich's car has taken up permanent residence in our driveway I had to drive him to work and then go to the dentist. Well I was like WAY early for my appointment so I thought I would stop at the Borders book store but it didn't open till 9 am so I figured... wtf? and went early to my appointment. I walked in and the dentist took me right away and gets me all in his chair with the little bib thingy on and then he grabs this scary like huge plier, tweezer, scissor looking tool and says something like... "Oh, I made a really good temporary tooth didn't I?" and I am thinking to myself... Huh?! So then he starts like looking around in my mouth and keeps looking at the opposite side of my mouth from where he told me I had to have a broken filling replaced, again I was like... Uhhh???! So when he went for that scary tool thing again I said, "Wait! Umm, you said I just needed a filling replaced that was broken on this side of my mouth." So he is all confused and trying to figure it all out and I finally ask him if he maybe had the wrong chart maybe since I was so early and it turns out he did but... OMFG! :wacko: Aside from that... what is the deal with the guy repeatedly smoothing down the bib?! Anyway, once he finally got it straight who I was and what I needed done he said, "Oh, this should be simple and quick... maybe we can do it without numbing you." Hell f**king no! SO I made him numb me and then I was out of there in 10 minutes
     
    So I spent a LOT of time on the phone today 2 hours I think with my Sweetie and some more with another cutie... which I cannot quit smiling and grinning like crazy for I tried to call my angel, but I think he was out on a hot date with some paint or something, but anyway I missed him. I missed you angel Oh and Kev... Davey and I will call you sometime together since it's free. Soon since he is on PDT for the week
     
    One more week of Good Scouts before we are done for the summer, but it was too cute today. These are a bunch of 9, 10, and 11 year olds and we are in the park practicing some songs and a flag ceremony, etc... for our awards ceremony next week and these boys in the park seem to flock over and sat down to watch them
     
    I actually wrote some more... finally and I have the next chapter of FBTE ready to post, hopefully it will be up tomorrow... even if I have to do some fancy persuading to get Rich to do it
     
    While I was on the phone with Davey today... it was SO funny! My son was skipping around in some new flip flops and when he went from the room I was in, which is carpeted, to my bedroom, which has wood flooring, he slipped and skidded into the closet door and the look in his poor little face was like Oh s**t! Too cute! That, and I measured him... at 4 1/2 years old he is 42 inches tall and Dave was laughing when I reminded him I am only 63 Just for reference, my daughter who is 10 1/2 is 59 inches now...
     
    Whatever... I'm short and sweet
     
    Hugs guys,
    Vivian
     
    PS. Jason, I have had so much fun meeting you and talking and I wanted to officially welcome you to the world Ronnie, I swear if you give me a heart attack... I'll kick your butt myself! Natey... hope your night with the a**hole wasn't too bad.
     
    PS2... Angel.. I almost did it tonight but I waivered... but I decided I'm going to do it... definitely, cause I'm being totally pathetic right now and I am not a pathetic person! Sigh... Besides... Davey agrees so... I know if the guy who is the same person as me says I need to do it, I must need to... and yes I know that's a cop out... I just hate having to be pathetic and I'm not used to having to stick up for myself... but I'm going to try
  17. viv

    a bit of a nosy b**ch

    By viv,

    What's that all about? Davey sent me this video of this really funny comedian, Peter Kay, and those are a couple of the lines I really loved, the dude was pretty funny!
     
    So I officially must have sucker tattooed across my forehead :wacko: I was supposed to be off work yesterday but instead, they asked me to work for another girl who went out on disability, along with a second girl who lost a family member and will be off for several days dealing with all that, and so... I said I would... it's a holiday weekend after all, but that means my last day off was last Thursday and I don't have another one until next Friday. On top of all that, Rich got mad that I said I would work since it was the first day we would have had to spend together since I started with this whole working nights bulls**t, which confused me since he is always saying how I need to work more and the best part is... I have to close the store on the 4th so I don't get to see any fireworks, I don't get to see my kids see them, I get to deal with all the grumpy people who are running way late or are out of beer instead. Y'all have some fun for me okay?
     
    Rich's friend Joe is visiting again for a week, the one from the army, which is cool, so long as my house doesn't turn into the disaster it was last time he and Tony were both home at the same time... cause if it does... well let's just say that I'll be the girl that's out of work for a few days planning a funeral!
     
    I started my summer anthology entry... FINALLY but I don't know if I'm happy with it. I guess I won't give up on it yet.
     
    Rich's car is broken... AGAIN... terminally now. I have mixed emotions about that. On the one hand I hate that car like you have no idea... well maybe Davey does and I can't drive it, and it has no A/C and nothing power and the seatbelts don't even move with you... ugh! On the down side... Rich loves it and that means we have to get another car which means a car payment, etc. and he thinks he wants to try and fix it himself which undoubtedly means buying tools and him turning my backyward and garage into some lame form of Pimp My Ride The upside... if he is planning on fixing it... the new car we get will be mine
     
    I know it's been a while since I blogged, and to tell you the truth, i was just kinda moping and pouting for like a whole week and I didn't feel like pretending to be cheery so I just kept my mouth shut. I know that's totally dumb, oh well. I'm going to blame the hormones this time... comes with the territory I guess... but I hate that it can affect me so strongly. It normally doesn't happen to me like that, so I'm happy about that, but for a control freak like me it's REALLY trying not to be able to control your feelings, and even when I knew why I was feeling the way I was... it just made me feel more lame cause pouting for that reason is pretty pitiful if you ask me and that made me feel even worse... start vicous cycle here.
     
    Anyway, I think I'm over it now and I sort of talked it out with a few friends so it's all good. Thanks guys!
     
    Joey!! We miss you! Come home soon... so we can start the festivities
     
    Foxy, I want to hear ALL about it! I hope it went well!!
     
    Matty has a new story up, and it's so good! Read it http://www.geocities.com/matpazcas/stories.htm
     
    Let's see... I talked to Kevin twice... and that guy NEEDS a nickname dammit! I talked to Davey once... naked and Joey, from his sleeping bag Bette's gone back home now... but I'm glad she came for a visit Wishing Tobi good luck on his exams!
     
    So this guy I know and kinda respect alot sort of managed to talk me into reading the one story by Comicality I haven't read yet, Gone From Daylight, and I have read about 500 pages in 3 days! I am LOVING it! Seriously. I mean I was staying away cause I thought it would be scary or gross or something since it's about vampires, but OMFG!!! I am so hooked it's not even funny! I can't wait to see what happens! Anyway, thanks angel for the story recommendation/arm twisting, and for listening to me be pitiful and lame.
     
    Gonna go read some more now I think...
    Hugs, Viv
     
    PS. Get well Sweetie!

    what the hell!?

    By viv,

    Alright this is gonna be try number two for this entry! I was almost done and clicked something else and then... it was gone and now this is me... debating wheter or not to just say f**k it or write it all over again! Whatever...
     
    I have a pretty crappy job and it doesn't pay horribly and almost anyone could do it, but still every day I show up, on time, and do my best and go above and beyond cause I take pride in my work. I like feeling like I am valuable and needed. So I was off work Monday and Tuesday and I get this call on my cell phone from my boss on Tuesday. Now I know you are thinking why did you answer it... but the answer is... because I have to. I am the store safety manager and if someone got majorly injured I have to go over there and deal with it so it's basically like I am on call 24/7 and I'm sure I don't get paid enough for that.
     
    See, recently I have been having some scheduling issues with them, thanks to my best friend (sarcastic) Wendy, which... coincidentally, things are SO much better around there now that she is gone... but anyway, they were working me mostly nights and one half day in the morning on Tuesdays to do safety stuff. So after thinking about it a while I realized it basically costs me $60 a week to do that job for Randy and the store so I told him he needed to either work me all days or find someone else and work me all nights.
     
    He chose nights, saving me $400 a month in preschool costs... but he didn't want to find someone else, he wanted me and suggested me just doing it a different morning I could be there, like Saturdays so I said fine. Anyway, so Randy calls me on Tuesday morning....
     
    Me: Hello?
    Randy: Hi, umm, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the 25 kids standing here in front of the store waiting for their tour.
    Me: You mean the one I reminded you about at least three times?
    Randy: Yeah, and they came walking in asking for you.
    Me: Okay...
    Randy: Well, who is gonna do this tour?
    Me: Obviously not me.
    Randy: Well I can't do it. I have a department head meeting and they are all waiting for me.
    Me: Okay...
    Randy: Oh well, Charlotte is just going to have to do it.
     
    Let me interject here that Charlotte is 5 months pregnant and is a book keeper and has no idea how the store actually works.
     
    Me: Randy, no!
    Randy: Well I don't know what else to do.
    Me: Well, who do you have there now? Marie?
    Randy: No.
    Me: Crystal?
    Randy: Not for another hour, and the new girl isn't here either. (The one that replaced Wendy)
    Me: Well who is there?
     
    Basically he called me ON MY CELL PHONE to have me solve his problem, which to me is worse than calling me at home, I could have been ANYWHERE... and I'm pretty sure he makes like $70K more than I do a year. Realizing you screwed yourself and that you need me isn't fun I guess.
     
    So I was talking to this friend the other day and it dawned on me AGAIN... does that make me in denial or just stupid?? that I think I care way more about him than he does about me. I love this guy to death, and sometimes when we talk it's like we have known each other for a long time and are great friends and then other times... it's like we can only be friends on his terms. I don't know really... it's like... I think being friends with someone means you can talk to them about anything and listen too and not be... censored. Anyway, it just sucks...
     
    So on the up side, I finally figured out what I am going to write for the summer anthology... now all I have to do is write it.
     
    So this guy came through my line last night... probably about 45, graying beard and motorcycle helmet, to buy a case of beer, and I was joking with him. Anyway, we have these cards on the counter that customers can fill out about the service they received and so the guy filled one out and handed it to me while I had stopped to answer the phone and said goodbye and when I looked at it it said... Vivan... What a GREAT person! Awwwwwwwwww!
     
    Then this other guy who totally set off my gaydar if that is weird, I'm sorry, came through. NICE body, built, but not too scary big, in a tank top and designer jeans with a cowboy like hat on, but not westerny really, a shell necklace and flip flops.. and Mary, the manager there last night says from across the front end of the store... 'Tell him I like his hat' So I am shaking my head no... as in 'hell no, I'm SO not doing that!' SO she got Rosa to do it for her... OMG!
     
    Alrighty... in other news... Foxy is indeed foxy! so I picked the right name, Timmy's hair looks great! Jonny is getting all the hugs today I hope everything works out for you angel but I know it will, like it is supposed to... and I hope Tobi doesn't melt! but he could wear less clothes! And Jon is alive!
     
    I love ya sweetie! and darlin! Natey and Joey too... for listening to me whine which I hate doing...
     
    Hugs, Viv

    tummies and woohoo...

    By viv,

    So here is a part of a chat I had with Rich this morning while he was at work...
     
    Rich: so we were robbed over the weekend
    Viv: what!?
    Rich: someone smashed the front door glass and took our snack tray!!
    Viv: wtf?
    Viv: really?
    Rich: yes
    Viv: that's all they took?
    Rich: yeah, there is a brand new comp in the box with flat panel monitor in the box...they took the snacks!
    Viv:
    Viv: no... snacks?
    Viv: sniffle*
    Rich: i brought my $.75 and everything.
    Viv: awwwwwwwwwww, i'm so sorry honey!
    Viv: bunch of savages in that town!
    Rich: IM HUNGRY NOW
    Viv: you should go get some snacks for everyone... sort of an attempt to start the healing process
    Viv: i mean i know it will be a long hard road, feeling violated as you all do, but baby steps
    Rich: ITS TOO HARD...
    Viv: you can do it honey... be brave
    Viv: think of your tummy
     
    Lemme see what else... Chapter 20 is finished! Editor approved and everything!
     
    The countdown has begun... 7 days of school left until summer break.. read total chaos in my house... :wacko: Also that means... about 2 months until my little guy starts kindergarten
     
    Congratulations to Drew! :graduated: SO yay! I guess to all the graduates! Jules, Shadows, anyone else I missed.
     
    Rich is making me go to Home Depot again :wacko: but I guess that's better than him going alone and me getting... pissed off cause he picked out something I didn't like. Our back room that had the beehive in it the beehive is gone, the HUGE hole in the wall patched, painted, new carpet, ceiling fan installed, air conditioner in, computer set up... I swear I am not leaving this room all summer gives me a good excuse to write though... right?
     
    Ronnie! Take it easy on the smoothies!... Natey made me do that!
     
    Entry 85 I believe this is... wow!
     
    So Foxy pointed out to me last night that chapter 20 being released on my birthday while being about Stephen's birthday is... amazingly appropriate! Giggle...
     
    So, in case anyone is interested... it's official. I am an overthinker of... pretty much everything. I can't help it... quite possibly an overfeeler too, in fact that may be the understatement of the year. Not that I am a mellow drama girl or anything, I'm not, but I definitely don't just breeze over things either.. I sort of need to feel my way through things.
     
    OMG! My daughter just referred to S-E-X as 'woohoo' :wacko: Heeeeeeeeeeelp me now!
     
    Hugs everyone,
    Vivian

    the twenties...

    By viv,

    What an eventful few days...!
     
    So I got this really snazzy orange card in the mail that said I have a package to pick up at the post office from Davey but I couldn't go get it cause Rich had my car so I went the next morning and picked it up. He made me promise not to look at the bottom of the package because the customs form was there and you have to list what is in the package and then I would know what my present is. I didn't peek! I swear! The instructions were to take the present out of the package and then immediately throw the package away so I did, but not before Tony read the customs form... so now he knows what my gift is then later I was telling Rich that Tony knows what it is and explained the story so when he got home from work he went and found the envelope and now he knows what it is too! and... I have to wait 12 more days to find out... which brings me to...
     
    The twenties...
     
    My birthday and chapter 20! Not 20 years old... I wish but I'm thinking it would be fun to debut chapter 20 on my birthday which happens to be the 20th... could be fun
     
    I also decided, just for fun, I would do a special birthday blog... sort of a 'who knows me the best' quiz. So, start studying up giggle!
     
    Only 2 days till my darlin's birthday and I hope... REALLY hope his present gets there on time... I HATE being late STILL SO sorry Kev!
     
    So my pal Beautiful and the boys are all heading out on a vacation and I am SO gonna miss him! but he BETTER have a good time and Josh... enjoy hun! You deserve it
     
    SO last night at work Tony and I were taking our breaks together and this girl asked us if we were related and he told her I was his wife so then after I looked horrified... cause ewwwwwww! he said nah, just kidding, she's my mom :wacko: so I smacked him and told him he was grounded!
     
    Hugs everyone,
    Vivian
     
    PS. Chapter 20 is to the editor
     
    PS again... Miss you lots angel!

    Holy crap it's HOT! It was like 97 here today in sunny southern California. It's 10:30 pm now and it is currently 75 degrees...
     
    What I love about the heat... I don't have to wear a sweater everyday, boys wear less clothes my feet stay warm in my flip flops...
     
    What I don't love about the heat... man boobs hanging out of tank tops
     
    Okay so I just have to get this off my chest and be done with it... This morning Rich and I stayed in bed for quite a while and well, I'm pretty sure you all can decipher what that means, but we had the TV on since there are quite a few people that live in my house and well... how can I say this without sounding dumb... okay, I'll just say that I have a tendency to make some noise not a ridiculous amount or anything but more than the whole house needs to hear. Anyway, the food channel was on... and while we are having sex I hear the guy on the cooking show say... "so big and meaty" and it took every fiber of my being not to burst out laughing. Anyway, I guess you all can see the connection and I just want to say... I'm sorry babe but I guess that's good that it made me think of you.
     
    So, I did an interview for GA and here is a link if anyone is interested... http://writers.gayauthors.org/articles/int...ew-with-viv.php
     
    I swear I am trying to get the next chapter finished! I am slowly working on it... I just really want it to be perfect.
     
    So I was having this talk the other day with a friend of mine... and I sort of made a clear and direct statement to him and it went sort of like this... I want real and genuine... Don't hold back anything, I want the unabridged and complete version of you and I will love you for the person you are and for the amazing human being you are with no judgements... Anyway, to that friend, I just want to say... you are so special to me already even though we have only known each other for just a short time and I'm so glad that you are a part of my life and my friend and that you trust me enough and consider me a friend enough to be your genuine self... I love you lots!
     
    Okay well, I'm gonna cut this short since my sweetie just woke up and I miss him like crazy!
     
    Hugs, Viv
     
    PS. I found Kevin a nickname and it's a good one too!
  24. viv
    Okay quick recap of my day here... I woke up at 7 am and got dressed and followed Rich and his broken car to the mechanics where he dropped it off to have the transmission rebuilt, and they said we could pick it up two weeks from now and $1000 later Then I drove him to work and he was actually early for the first time in forever Drove home, packed up the box to send to Davey and Chris for my darlin's birthday! Showered, and took the kids to the dentist for our six month cleaning and check-ups... no cavities again! Went to the post office to mail the box to Scotland, drove back to Rich's work to take him to lunch since he has no car, then we drove home.
     
    Hung out and chatted while the kids swam, my daughter and her friend actually invited my son to go with them but he came back pretty quickly saying he had put his face in the water and was cold... he's four, hehehe! So after he decided he was bored here and he wanted to go back to swim, I walked him back over and he changed his mind once we got there :wacko: so we came back home and I offered to let him swim in the warm bathtub. He apparently thought that was a great idea and even suggested bubbles! Sure thing... so then I went to go pick Rich up from work and decided we should stop at the store on the way home since I am totally out of all things junk food and milk... We shop... Ice cream, chips, popcorn, lunch meat, bottled water, milk, q-tips, etc... pay the bill, walk out, load the car, get in the car... MY f***ing car won't start!
     
    Tony miraculously happens to call at that time so I tell him to come over to the store and bring the jumper cables... I took my son into the store to get some change for the soda machine while we wait... I mean this is Southern California and hot as hell in the parking lot. So we walk in and I walk up to the register to get some change and my son says to the cashier, "The car is beeping and the car won't start." She said, "Oh no!" Then he told the customers in her line, "The car is beeping and the car won't start." She sent me to the next register since that moght be faster and he told that cashier, "The car is beeping and the car won't start."
     
    My beep beep car won't start even with cables so Tony brought me and my son and melting ice, ice cream and the rest of everything home in his tiny little truck while Rich walked across to the mall to buy a new battery and Tony just called and said the new battery is installed and the car started just fine
     
    Umm, ugh is all I can say.
     
    Kevin a.k.a. A Friendly Face... how about Ace? That is one of mine actually but I actually think it fits you well, what do you think? OMG and Lucky and Timmy are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CUTE!
     
    Davey, I asked the man and he asked the man and it's on the list of things to look at since it supposedly should be allowed for every member.
     
    Hugs, and hopefully no more b**ching about cars!~
    Viv
     
    PS. OMG thank you Kitty for correcting me and the early birthday present!

    pink holes

    By viv,

    Okay... so the present is in the mail... and professionally gift wrapped... and I have sworn that I won't look at the customs form on the back of the box... and I'm sure that tomorrow I will have to swear to wait till my birthday to open it too. But I can't wait sweetie
     
    So I had this interesting talk with my angel today and he was helping me, since I am computer challenged, trying to figure out why my microphone on my headphones wouldn't work. I told him I stick the pink plug thingy into the pink hole but it wouldn't work... and in the end I realized... it was because the thing was turned off. But anyway he wins cause he made me laugh the most when he said this to me... pink hole... pink hole... monster c**k!
     
    So I think Rich is having his boy period as Davey says or 'manstruating' was a new one I heard today thanks to Jeff and I am sort of... trying not to take it personally. It pretty much sucks though...
     
    I am off work till Thursday night and then again on Friday. Wendy got tranferred so I am having a little party in celebration that she's gone. I know that doesn't seem very nice but it was no secret that we didn't like each other. Anyway... yay!
     
    I STILL haven't written past page 4 and I was so sure I was gonna get that done today, but there is always tomorrow I guess. Also, I signed up for the spring anthology and I still have no idea what I'm gonna write for it which is scary since it's due in 16 days :wacko:
     
    Congrats to Benny a.k.a. gorgeous and Kevin a.k.a. A Friendly Face on their newest employment opportunities~~
     
    The disaster that was my house is clean again and the laundry that was threatening to get up and wash itself is now done and Rich's friend is gone again, Tony is in his own room too so... Viv is much happier
     
    Tony started working at my store and it's been fun actually. We don't really work together at all, but it's cool and people treat him well since they at least know I know him if not more, but that's a secret...
     
    Alright, I'm pretty sure that this was a big random jumble of crap just thrown on the page... but I did it all for you angel! Thanks for being my help desk... definitely level 2 at least!
     
    Public apologies to my darlin' Chris here and now since I fear the USPS may not get your present to you in time... but have no fear it's on the way! Happy early birthday Chris!
     
    Love ya!
    Vivian
