I haven't written in here for quite awhile. Sophia has her up and down days, which directly effects my good and bad days. Today is a good day, thank god. I'm going to yoga tonight and forgetting about everything at home for awhile.

My sister is getting married in June so this past weekend a few friends and I took my sister out.

Friday night we went bar hopping in Milwaukee. We started out at a Mexican bar/grill for a couple beers and margaritas and then headed out to Have a nice day Cafe. We had a great time dancing until this middle aged, balding (I have nothing against bald guys, btw.. just describing the weirdo.) guy in business attire wanting to grind dance with my sister. It was funny in the beginning, but when he wouldn't let her alone, we left. Another guy started dancing behind me and telling me to "back that thing up." I wasn't impressed with him so I told him that "it's backed up as far as it's going to go with you." From there we went to Hooligans and met a very, very, very attractive guy from England. Danny was all over Ashley, Courtney and I until his friends wanted to go to Kush.. some other bar down the street. I should add that at this point we were very drunk. We tried to get into another bar called... shit, I can't remember. (Edit: It's called Lava.) There was a fight outside the club and they weren't letting anyone in so we walked back to Hooligans and met a few guys from Hawaii. We were all getting pretty hungry at 2:00am, so we got a ride to Oakland Gyros and while waiting for our ride, Ashley started yelling "I love the cock" while parading around with the giant inflatable penis with a smiley face we made her dance and walk around with. She also started hugging and kissing me and staying "this is my sister and I love her!!!" It was hysterical. All the men we met were completely fascinated by Meatloaf the inflatable cock. We started walking back to Kelly's apartment and that's were my memory pretty much fades out. I know I went to bed around 4:30am and woke up around 7:30am with my knees burning from all the dancing.. in freaking clogs. What the hell was I thinking?

Saturday after we all took turns killing Kelly's toilet with beer shits, Kelly and I sat upstairs trying to wake Ashley up while watching Wildboyz on MTV2. Somewhere around noon we ate a greezy breakfast with lots of toast and then drove back to Kelly's to pack up our cars and head our separate ways. Ashley took my car back to Kenosha to take a shower and pack up for Saturday night, while Kelly and I were getting ready to drive to Sendiks to pick up some food and then to The Cove in Lake Geneva to decorate the 900 square foot room I rented for the night. After a lengthy discussion about why MapQuest sucks and how much we hate resort towns we finally managed to get into our room which was uber-sweet btw. Kelly hung up the pin the hot on the hunk while I tried to blow up the penis shaped balloons. My god, I almost passed out. Tough little buggers. I lit a bunch of candles and blew up the "alternate position" balloons and last, but not least.. my favorite.. the ring toss clown with the giant penis.

Everyone makes it on time and we start drinking right away. We first make Ashley dress up in the "Blow job survival kit". She walks out to the balcony dressed in a plastic apron, gloves and a hairnet looking very much like a lunch lady and yells "Jizz free since '93!" You probably had to be there. We call a cab and leave for the Sugar Shack around 7:30. We manage to get seats right up front even though we should have left a bit earlier. The waiters are fucking hot for the most part. Our waiter, omg.... Everyone at our table wanted to take him back to our place. After we get our free drinks the show starts with the guy from Spain. Yum. As for myself, I loved the guy as we affectionately called "fireman" all night. His ass. I can't express in words how unbelievably perfect this man's ass was. It was like heaven in ass form. And our last performer... Andrew. Oh god could he dance... and his body...... Ashley and I said we wanted to lick the sweat off his chest. Oh god.....

To those who don't know (which none of us there did in the beginning) the women in the audience are INCOURAGED to grab, spank, touch.... everything. And we were allowed to bring cameras, which I thought was a HUGE no no. Apparently women can. I'm not sure if they allow the men downstairs to touch the women dancers, but my guess is no. So there are many photos to come of numerous lap dances as well as... Sorry, my mind was wondering all over our waiter's body...

The lap dance. How truly ignorant we were. So, just about as soon as we get into the club, two incredibly hot waiters walk up to us with what looks like test tube racks filled with shots. They ask us if we'd like one for 5 dollars. We politely decline. Had we known... we all would have brought significantly more cash.. not that I didn't spend enough. Anyhoo...

Katie decided to buy Ashley a shot. The waiter dressed up like a construction worker walked up to Ashley, asked her what flavor and then stuck that little test tube down his pants. Ashley lets out a little "oh. my. god." She bends over, bites the end of the tube, throws her head back and downs the shot. Then came the lap dance. He grabbed her arms and put her hands all over his chest and ass. The looks on all the girls' faces was priceless. I think a few of us almost fainted. Needless to say there were a good many shots had by all....

Then came one of my favorite parts... I had been dancing with a woman who was with another bachelorette party. We had been talking (read: cat-calling all night) when I felt a pair of arms encircle my waist and pull me into a lap. It was the announcer! So there we were, grind dancing on my chair so I grabbed my new friend and pulled her onto my lap and we had our own little porno in the making going on. :)

My last story from that evening recalls how Ashley and I received our Sugar Shack shirts....

Towards the end of the evening, all the waiters and dancers walk around the room asking if anyone wants to dance with them on stage for 20 dollars. Katie buys Ashley a dance. She walks up on stage and begins dancing and then strips the shirt off his body. It floats to the ground as her hands move directly to his ass, and then back up to his chest. I almost fainted. I thought.. "There is no way in hell I'm getting up there..." until our waiter walked around and asked me. He asked, I jumped. He had this incredible body... so. freakin. chiseled. After a bit of freaky dancing I started taking off his shirt... felt him up.. he stared into my eyes.. my god what a stare, and then gave me a kiss and said "thanks". I said the first thing out of my mouth: "Oh my god, no thank you!"

After the show let out and as we waited for the cab we kept talking about "fireman" and Andrew. We went back to the suite, had Ashley open her gifts and then play a few games and went to bed. I can honestly say this was the best weekend I've ever had in my life. I'm still waiting for my voice to recover. It's been 2 days and I still can't talk. ;)

Photos when I get them from Kate. ;)

Mother's Day brunch at the Brookfield Zoo.

Our first seder

2005-04-27T08:37:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Kimber for hosting a wonderful second day seder at her house! Lex and I had a blast. It was great to see Robb and Chandler again and to meet Kimber's mother! Kimber is an awesome cook and my only wish was that Lex and I could have stayed longer. Alia was a little doll and I loved hearing her sing for us, though I didn't really like to be Simon when we played American Idol. :P

Yesterday Lex walked up to me, grabbed at his diaper and said "Pee pee! Oh my!" He also caught a cold and has a really runny nose with copius amounts of snot. :/ And he's very, very crabby.

Stomp! Destroy! Ruin!!!

Musings

2005-04-04T10:50:00.000-05:00

To start off with...

My god, I'm fat. We took family photos on Friday (Thanks Anna for helping with Lex!) and when it came time to pick which poses we wanted my jaw dropped. I look like a whale.

"Robb! Look at my hips! Is is just me, or does it look like someone stuck a pillow around my waist?"

"You look fine."

"I look like a dugong."

"A what?

"It's like a manatee."

"A what?

"Nevermind. We can't purchase any of these. We'll just get a few poses of Lex by himself."

"No, we won't. We came here for a family photo and we're leaving with one."

*sigh* We picked ONE family pose. The one where I look the least like an aged, bloated clown.

My schedule is packed. I have about 15 bajillion things to do between April through June. I'm still working on Ashley's party, we have her bridal shower the first day of Pesach, and no, I didn't plan that one. Blame it on my future brother-in-law's relatives. I'm not mad or upset, we'll just have to do a second day seder. Anyhoo, I have meetings just about every Saturday morning for the forseeable future, my Thursday nights are shot as are my Sunday afternoons from 12 until 4. Starting next week Friday we start another session of Parent/Child classes at Waldorf (yay!) and I have to buy shoes for the wedding. Oh, I can't forget to squeeze in time to work on the yard, which I hate. I also have two other things to do that I'm not going to mention here because just thinking about them makes me incredibly anxious in a bad, bad way.

On to more pleasant stuff... (At the risk of sounding completely neurotic, I'm going to write about it anyway because it pleases me, and if you don't like it, shove it.)

Yesterday I felt great. Even though I'm going through some scary stuff I fell in love with yesterday. Why? Because the way I was being looked at. Maybe I was reading it all wrong. Maybe I was looking for something that wasn't there, but I wasn't. I know because I've never been wrong about it before. I was being looked at because someone was genuinely interested in me. I was listening and being listened to. We share the same mannerisms, humor and openness. I didn't want to leave that space. It was all around me and I don't believe anyone else around me knew what was happening. It was, and hold on for this.. the I know, that you know, that we know, but can't put our finger on it. And that's exactly what it was.

Have you ever experienced this?

Alia and Lex at the Children's Museum

Kimber and Alia left early this morning, and we miss them both. :/ We had a great time at the park on Sunday afternoon with Dan, Ashley and their new puppy, Dewey. On Monday morning we went to the DuPage Children's Museum and had a lot of fun playing with the giant PinPression, and later that evening Ini, Resut and Hemet came over for a roast chicken dinner. Tuesday didn't go nearly as well. We had planned on going to the Brookfield Zoo in the morning and it took us more than three hours to get there and the parking lot was full. The kids were hungry and a touch car sick so we stopped at White Castle and drove back to Plainfield to take Lex and Alia to the kids play area at the mall, so we didn't get to visit the zoo at all. Lex learned that if he pushes Alia that he gets to give her a hug and a kiss. He just didn't understand that he could give her a hug anytime. ;)

Some great one-liners during their visit:

"She has a big butt!" - Alia pointing out my sister's big butt.
"You can't have the blanket because Dan needs it." - Alia taking away a blanket from Robb.

And who can forget "Hail to the king baby." :P

I had a wonderful time catching up on stuff with Kimber and can't wait to see her and Alia again!

I am the queen of random thoughts.

Fallin' off a log... I mean frog!!!

Lex and I drove the 50 miles to Robb's work this morning so we could all have lunch together. Bakers Square has some damn fine pecan pie. Not as good as my mother's, but very, very good. I also made an awesome dinner of roast chicken, mashed potatoes, asparagus with cream and fresh baked bread.

I've also decided that I want to learn how to knit and quilt. Since I don't have the $100+ for a nice sewing machine I'll start with the knitting. I've got the crocheting thing down, and am still making scarves for a program that donates hand made clothing to the homeless but I need a new challenge and knitting is it.

To end my random thoughts... I'm reading The Covenant by Naomi Ragen. So far I'm really enjoying it. I didn't set out to the library to get this book specifically, rather I found it in the new fiction section while walking to the book-on-cd aisle. More about it when I finish it.

I'm so silly!

Nothing more frightening...

2005-03-23T08:11:00.000-06:00

then reading about another little girl kidnapped, sexually assaulted and murdered by a repeat offender: read here. I was talking to Robb about the case a few nights ago and we both agreed that men like that should be castrated after the first offense. I'm not talking chemical castration either. I'm talking rubberband and iodine-on the farm type castration. You can't control yourself? Well we'll take care of that problem for you. It seems like minor drug offenses like someone purchasing a nickel bag of grass is more heavily prosecuted than sex offenders in this country.

I love hotdogs!

New blog, new adventures!

2005-03-22T15:40:00.000-06:00

I think I'm going to use this blog to put everything I don't put into my LJ, which is a lot. LJ just seems too kooky a place to put down something very serious or very meaningful in my opinion. Anyway...

I have a desk calendar that was given to everyone in the Intro to Judaism class I'm taking. It's called A Kindness A Day. I'm being perfectly honest when I say there are a few things already printed on this calendar that I can't picture myself doing, such as setting up a friend on a blind date. Too. Creepy. But I was happy with myself after finding I've already been doing many of the suggestions listed like today's: While doing your spring-cleaning, collect clothes and items you no longer need and donate them to charity. I usually get into a unclutter mode twice per year and I always give the gently used items to Goodwill. I think many of us sit and constantly wonder what else we can do for our communities but don't give ourselves credit for what we do. I'm not saying that I'm Miss Charity, but I feel like contributing more when I feel good about it, not when I feel guilty for not doing something.

And since I've already brought up the Intro Class, something is really bothering me about it. I think just about everyone else in the class is coming from the Christian faith and while I was raised Catholic I was practicing Kemetic Orthodoxy for the past 5 years before I outgrew it. Everyone else in the class is so upset with or by their former faith that almost all of our classes are punctuated by "And that's why I left the church" or "I have so much hatred for those Christians." I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have something negative to say about my former path. The negative energy takes any good, potentially fruitful conversation into a backward, ignorant backlash. Two weeks ago our topic for class was Life Cycle events focusing on marriage. When the issue of polyandry/polygamy was brought up every woman in the class except myself all sighed and shook their heads. We were talking about biblical times. During the class I brought up that modern social expectations cannot be used to look upon biblical times. In many parts of the world today (what we all love to call 3rd world countries) there are many peoples who still have multiple wives and in at least one clan that I know of multiple husbands. They don't have multiple spouses to anger the so-called learned world, they do it out of necessity. I tried to explain to this one woman who asked me about it after class. I said "If I were living in a community where we were directly dependent upon one another for survival and basic necessities such as clean water and food, I'd want my husband to have as many wives as he could support! Not only because that would mean more children that would survive, but also more food, more help in the house and garden and the raising of the children, but also the social closeness that we so lack in this age!" She tried to change my mind by saying that there are too many men today that get many women pregnant without marriage, and I agreed that was a problem, but it didn't have anything to do with the topic. We had to agree to disagree. She still thought a man having multiple wives was barbaric, even if he loved all of them and the women were happy. *shrug*

Lex just woke up so I'm off to make some lunch and head to the children's museum! I'll post some photos later.
