Green Festival!

I know it has been a while since i blogged so I have a lot to catch up on. Things in my personal life have been crazy lately but I dont want to talk about that. Lets talk about last weekend.
Sexy and I headed to the Green Festival on Saturday and McCormick place. It was a good time. We got to listen to mayor daley and we got some free samples of some good stuff. I am so happy about all of the products that are available to help the environment. I have been trying to do things to help the earth in my own life. I have been recycling now for the past 2 months. I also buy recycled tissue and paper towels now. I am starting to try more organic products. I am so happy that my Jewel I go to now has a whole aisle dedicated to organic food and other organic products. When we were at the GF Sexy asked me if my car used the ethanol fuel. I remembered that is does. So, when I had to travel down to Kankakee on Monday I remember a gas station that had the E85 fuel. So, i filled up with it. So far so good. My car is running the same. Unfortuanately there is only 2 places in Chicago that offer the fuel. My question for Mayor Daley is why? He stated he would like chicago to be the #1 green city in the world. Well, where is my E85 fuel then? It is so much better for the atmosphere.

I promise words of the day to come. I have a lot of work to do tonight and I am feeling quite sick.

St. Louis--day 4!!!

Day 4, the last day of our trip. It is now Sunday morning, Easter. We decide to sleep in a little but we do need to get up because we need to leave Waynesville around 11am. My friend was nice and bought breakfast at McDonald's for everyone. I really have a feeling that she doesn't cook much. I think both sexy and I are really getting sick of fast food at this point in time. Sexy, more than me. I was really starting to feel bad at this point in time that she was not getting enough veggies. So much so that we had such a hard time later in the day deciding where to eat. So, we said our goodbyes and left for St. Louis. We arrived at the Arch with hardly a line at all to get in. Our tickets to the top were for 2 but they let us in even earlier. So, sexy and I got in this little tram car to go to the top of the Arch. I have to admit I was a bit nervous but I am really glad I had Sexy to hold my hand. And once we got to the top I realized it was all worth it. THe view was awesome. We spent sometime at the top enjoying the view and then we headed back down. Now it was time to get back in the car and head for chicago. We arrived back to the city about 5 hours later. It was nice to be back but of course it was sad that our trip was over. Overall the trip was great. I love travelling with Sexy. I really wish we could do it more often. I hope to post some of my favorite pics from the trip soon but until then checkout sexy's flickr sight. She has all the photos from the trip posted there.

St. Louis--day 3!!!

It is now Saturday morning and we are woken up early my my friends daughter who is just too excited to have visitors in the house. We heard her go running down the hallway crying to her mom. Sexy and I just rolled over and went back to sleep. A couple hours later we finally rolled out of bed. We took it easy and slowly got ready. Then sexy, arthena and I headed into Waynesville to have lunch. Of course we went to Sonic!!! We spent the next hour in my friends van eating lunch and talking. We even told my friend the whole story of how we met and how we almost got kicked out of Circuit......I am still surprised we didn't get kicked out!!! (x-rated) We then headed to dairy queen because we wanted a kit-kat blizzard. Of course they were out so we had to settle for a snickers blizzard instead. We then headed back to my friends and was her daughter ever excited to see us. Soon after we started to watch a movie. We watched Stranger Than Fiction. I wasn't too sure what to think at first but it ended up to be a good movie. When that was done I decided to take a nap. Sexy joined me in the bed. She read a chapter from Tales of the City to me and then I took my nap and she went on reading her book. An hour or so later Arthena woke us up so we could go to dinner. We were going to dinner at this restaurant that was in a cave. And the good thing was it was adults only. So, Arthena, her husband Tony, Sexy and I headed to the CAVE!!! The restaurant is called Caveman BBQ and Steakhouse. We head onto the backroads and into the woods. Tony was trying his best to make sexy nervous. A city gal out in the woods with no public transportation around! I guess it is a good thing we were among friends. We arrive at a parking lot and have to get into the van that takes us on a winding road, up a hill. We then get in this really old, creaky elevator. I am not to fond of elevators and definitely didn't like being pushed into one by some creapy old man and then him saying if the elevator doesn't crash then he'll see us after our meal. I gave just a little half-ass laugh. I think we went about 3 or 4 stories up the side of this cliff and then walked into the restaurant.....which was in a cave. We are seated at our table. I took a few minutes to just look around. Here we are sitting in a cave. It was very neat!!! I love caves. We sat for the next hour or two and ate and talked. The food was ok....not the best BBQ but we mostly went for the experience of eating in a cave. Yeah, I can check eating in a cave off my list of things I wanted to accomplish in my life time now! We then headed back to Waynesville to find a place to have a drink at. We ended up going to Tony's mom's bar. It is called Judy's Place. And check it out.....it is in devils elbow. It was really in the middle of nowhere it seemed like. We were there for about an hour where we played a few cames of pool and experienced the small town, missouri bar. County folk alright! Once we got back to Arthena's I noticed how beautiful the stars were. They were so bright. I spent sometime outside looking at them until sexy came out to get me. We then retired to our room for talk.........and of course FRISKINESS!!!

SNOW/RAIN!!!!!!!!!! What the HELL!!!!

What the hell is up with the weather? I know it is April and this sort of shit happens in April but come on! It was bad enough that my spring break last week was freakin freezing, but then I wake up to this snow/rain shit this morning. I could tell when I looked out the window it was going to be a bad day. I walked outside, very late for work. I went to open the fence, i gave it a hard push like I usually to but wouldn't you know the damn thing somehow lowered itself a few inches over the night and came swinging very hard back at me and hit me right in the hand. After screaming and cursing loud enough for everyone in the neighborhood to hear me I finished getting the fence open. I went to get in the car and noticed my wallet on the ground. I picked it up thinking it just fell out of my pocket...........no it had been on the ground on night. My nice, butch, leather wallet soaking up all the snow/rain shit all night long. Thank goodness my money was still it it but what a mess! I think I may need a new chain wallet now. But back to my hand. So, my hand hurts like hell all day long and as I am sitting here trying to type with it, it hurts even more. I probably should have went to the doctor but hell I am too tough for that! What the hell could they do if I broke my metacarpal anyway? Ice and drugs are definitely the way to go! If it swells up twice as big as my other hand or if i just can't stand the pain anymore, (remember I like pain) I might go to the doctor......like I said I might go!

St. Louis--day 2!!!

We will pick up Friday morning. Sexy and I slept in a little but not to late. Rick, the owner of the B&B left out around 9am and left us some wonderful pastries to eat. We went to the breakfast table where there was another nice note from Rick telling us he was glad we stayed and hoped we had a great time. He also left coffee, some pastries and melon and told us to help ourselves to whatever else we wanted in the fridge. It was so charming and delicious!!! We ate and then loaded all of our things back into the car. Took a few more pictures and left for the Arch. We arrived at the Arch and it was a lot busier than we had anticipated. It was also a lot colder than we anticipated. We walked up to the Arch and got in this really long line that seemed to not be moving at all. I decided to go across the grass to the other side of the arch to see how the line was. It was a lot shorter so sexy walked over to that line and after about 20 mins. we finally got inside. And would you believe that was just the line for security. Once inside you had to wait in even a bigger line to get tickets to the top. We decided we didn't want to wait in line. I then thought we could buy tickets online for Sunday. We had to come back through St. Louis anyway. So we left and headed for the city museum. First, I have to say that this city museum is like no other museum I have ever been too. It was definitely the highlight of the trip. I could probably talk forever on what we did at the museum. We had a great time climbing through caves, going down all sorts of slides and playing on a huge jungle gym. It was so cold outside but that didn't keep us from playing for over an hour out there. I will definitely post pictures when I get them. I took a lot of pictures of sexy as she tried out almost everything in the museum. I had a great time. I am also glad that I have such an adventurous girlfriend. We finally left the museum at about 6pm and headed out of the city for our 2 hour drive to my friend Arthena's house. We stopped for some gas and then to have Taco Bell. The food was good but our drink was dark colored soda water and they forgot our cinn. twists. Damn Taco Bell! On the way to Arthena's, sexy decided to read from the book she has been reading to me. I love being read too. We arrived at my friends around 8. We were quickly being entertained by my friends daughter who is 3. She asked us several questions from why is sexy's hair pink and mine red to can she do our hair. We gave in. She did both of our hair. Don't worry there are pics!!! I have to say that I do have a bit of a fetish for pain but having a 3 year old pull and yank my hair around was definitely not good pain. After getting our hair done by the 3yr. old we decided to head into Waynesville for some onion rings and some ice cream from Sonic. Unfortunately, Sonic was not open. We were so dissapointed. We decided to stop at Casey's and get some Cool Ranch Doritos and some cookies. We then went back to my friends and stayed up and ate and talked with my friend at the kitchen counter. It was very nice to do some catching up with my friend. After getting up fairly early and having a fun filled day sexy and I decided it was time to head to bed. We were so tired there wasn't even friskyness......you know we were really tired then! What a fun and exciting day!!!

Divorce Shit!!!

I know I have a lot of the trip to still write about and I will do that later. Right now while my Lentil soup is simmering I want to vent a little.....ok maybe a lot.

Today my boss pissed me off. Sent me a memo that was a bunch of crap. It was not even true. WOW, I can't wait till I find me another job. Secondly, I hate my ex right now. So, I took time out of my spring break to get divorce papers downtown last week. We had agreed we would handle it without lawyers and besides child support we agreed on everything. Of course he wants to have to pay less support than he should. Typical!!! So, I told him I got the papers, i even gave them to him to look at. Then yesterday he called me and said the papers look fine but he was confused. I said about what. He said that he wants Jr. I said we will have to agree on when you have him and I said it wasn't a big problem as he can get him when he wants. No, he said he wants him to live with him all the time. WHAT!!! Where the hell did this shit come from. Just out of the blue now he wants full custody of our son. And the way he said it was like it was no big deal. And I would just go along with it. Is he high??? Why would I give him custody of our son. So, now instead of handling this peacefully he wants to cause problems again. Now, I have to take a day off work and go downtown again but this time get other papers that have to be served to him. If he thinks this is going to make me change my mind about the divorce or make me like him, he is dead wrong. Right now I can't stand him and I definitely am going back to not talking to his ass anymore. He will here from my lawyer.....if I can ever afford one!!!

St. Louis--day 1!!!

I am finally home. I just got done picking up Jr. and finally got all my stuff and his stuff carried inside. I wanted to talk all about mine and sexy's trip to Missouri.

We left early Thursday morning. On the agenda was to drive to St. Louis, go to the cathedral, go to the contemporary art museum, check into the bed and breakfast, go to dinner, then to a lesbian bar and then back to the bed and breakfast for hot tub and friskyness. Can you believe it, we actually got that all done and we didn't even get to St. Louis till around 2pm. The drive to St. Louis was nice. I drove, sexy dj'd. It is so nice to go on a trip with someone who is nice to talk to and keeps me entertained while i'm driving. We arrived at the Cathedral Basilica around 2 and it was so beautiful. There were a lot of mosaics. There was even a mosaic museum there. Sexy and I both saw some very neat designs made out of mosaics. The topic of conversation turned towards tattoos when we saw this really awesome mosaic. Lets just say you may be seeing a similar mosaic from the cathedral on sexy or I one day. Then it was off to the Contemporary Art Museum were they had a special showing of Andy Warhol and Jim Hodges work. It was very interesting. I am definitely seeing myself getting more into art. After that we went to our bed and breakfast. We stayed at the Brewers House. When we got there we had a nice note from the owner telling us where are room was and to make ourselves at home. We found our room is was so cute and charming. A huge king size bed was in the room with a 3 paneled mirror above it. I am not joking!!! We carried all of our stuff in and then started to decide where to go for dinner. We decided on this Brazilian restaurant that turned out to not be that far away from our B&B. It was called Yemanja Brasil Restaurant. It was very good. The dessert was to die for. It was called Pavee da nena. Click on the link and you can see why it was so good. It was then off to Novak's which is a popular lesbian bar in St. Louis. Was a nice atmosphere. We didn't stay long, just long enough for one drink. That evening they were going to have a drag show but sexy and I decided that getting in the hot tub and friskyness sounded better. We headed back to the B&B. Right after we got there Rick, the friendly owner, showed up and took the cover off the hot tub for us. We enjoyed sometime in the hot tub and then retired to the bedroom.

Great Trip!

Sexy and I just got home from our trip. We had a great time. Details and words of the day will come soon I promise but right now I am exhausted. I have to go back to work tomorrow and I need some sleep.

Leaving Now!!!

I've been cleaning and packing all day. I am ready now. It is always nice to go on a trip and then come back to a fairly clean house. I am getting ready to leave to take my son to his father and then it is off to Sexy's. We will be leaving early in the morning to go to St. Louis and then on to Waynesville on Friday to visit and old college friend of mine. I am really looking forward to this trip. I will let you know all about it when I get back. See Ya!!

Better Day

When we last left off my life seem to be falling about in front of my eyes. I have to say things are much better now. I really had a peace come over me Monday that if Sexy and I talked this out and understood where each one of us was coming from we could work it out. That is exactly what we did. I am so happy that we got past this first really major bump in the road. We decided to focus on the now and we will deal with things when they come. A really great idea!

Now to update everyone on my new words. Friday's word was ewer. Saturday's word was vie. Sunday's word was furtive. Yesterday's word was imp and today's word is crony. I absolutely love the word imp. I definitely know some imps. I am going to make a list eventually of all of the words. Would you like me to post the definitions also? Give me some feedback.

What to do?

I know I left you all hanging and I am sorry. I am still in Iowa at my parents and it has been rough. I don't really feel like getting into depth about what happen. So, the brief version is I have been thinking about ways to get out of debt and one way was to possible move back to Iowa for a year. Don't really want to but thought it might be the best plan. So many things would have to happen in order for it to work out.....like a job most importantly. I felt like I shouldn't keep sexy in the dark about it so I decided to tell her Friday night when Jr. and I went over to dye easter eggs. Well, the evening did not start out good. Sexy was ticked off at me for a text message i sent being all silly. She definitely interpreted what I was saying the wrong way. I felt bad.....really bad. I apoligized and we talked about it and it was ok after that. Jr. and I walked up to the local taco shop to get dinner. After dinner we started to color eggs. We then had some time where we hid eggs and hunted for them. It was very nice and a good time. Then sexy gave me a gift. She gave me the cutest pair of shoes. They are green and purple. It was so sweet and I love the shoes!!!

Then things started to get bad. I told sexy what I was thinking about and possible moving to Iowa. She was agreeing and saying maybe that would be the best. Then I said I know it would be hard but I would still see her. Her reaction was definitely not what I expected. It was that we would not be together if I moved to Iowa. I knew it would be hard but i figured we would at least try. I didn't know what to say to that. So, I left feeling hurt and very unloved. So I have spent all weekend thinking about sexy and our relationship. And the worst part is I won't see her till probably Wednesday night and we are suppose to leave THursday for our trip.

I love Chicago and I would love to stay here. Sexy has told me she doesn't want to be the only reason I stay in chicago but if I move somewhere else we will not stay together. I feel like this is a no win situation. What do I do???
