Interim Housing

So, we’re here at Casa LaVenuta–all moved in, for the most part. The movers did a pretty great job overall, although when 5pm rolled around–they were no where to be found–like those cartoons where all you see is the cloud of dust as they sped away. 

On a very odd note, J went to the garage of the new house (where our belongings are being stored) to look for my fire stick remote, and heard a buzzing coming from my night table. Turns out, a vibrator had been turned on and was running at a pretty good clip. Ordinarily, it could be assumed that the moving jostled it inside my bedside table drawer and it accidentally turned on. 

But this particular vibrator has a power button that needs to be pushed in order for it to go–and held in for a few seconds to turn it off again. In addition, it has several moving parts, all of which have their own switch. In case you haven’t figured out where this is going–the movers, at least one of them, was handling my vibrator. The one that I use on the regular–the one that not only touches my hoo haw, but actually goes in there too–pretty much daily (don’t judge, it’s healthy on so many levels). I’m really not sure how to feel about the fact that a total stranger was handling something so personal of mine. 

On one hand, it is bothersome that someone, a stranger, would handle another person’s sex toy without the owner’s knowledge or permission; but on the other hand, it’s sort of funny to think about the various things going through that guy’s mind while he was checking the whole thing out. Either way, it’s definitely on creepy spectrum and the vibrator itself will need to undergo a thorough cleaning. Twice. Is there a moral to this story? Probably not, other than complex vibrators are pretty much their own intruder alarms. Well that, and always remember to clean your toys. Twice. 

Just a quick question 

Okay, if you know me well, you know that I absolutely cannot stand the term, making love. It just grosses me out–I don’t know why but it does. So, if a sexual partner references our activities as making love it always kind of skeezes me out. Ew. 

Anyway, so a particular partner was doing his version of romantic (it’s not) and says, “Thank you. I have a beautiful woman who lets me make love to her”.  It was uncomfortable and not the right moment for me to cringe or say yuck or whatever–so I go with honesty and say, “Baby, if you’re standing behind me, while I’m on all fours on the bed (a tie for fave position, bee tee dubs) and you are pulling my hair by wrapping it around your fist–making my back arch, we are not making love. We are fucking. Plain and simple”. He was bothered by my attitude. My question, darlings: what would you call it? Is that making love or is that fucking? 

Moving and grooving

So, today was the first day of our move–which means packing. Ugh. Let me back up–the city bought out our house so the land can be used to house a flood wall. There are so many things wrong with all of it–but that is a story for another time. Anyhow, almost everything is boxed up–but because our new house isn’t done yet–and won’t be for another month–we’re off to live with my parents. It truly is a disaster waiting to happen. Stay tuned! xo

The Beginning

Welcome to my life. It isn’t the most glamorous life, but it isn’t the least glamorous life either. I suppose that it is defensible to say that I do pretty well–by most and Midwestern standards. 

I have a core group of friends, who I love and cherish, and a calendar full of events. You will see me writing a lot about J. He is an enormous part of my life and his role in it will emerge as I write about it and him. My parents live here also–which is, in part, why I moved back in 2010. 

Summer is social season in Fargo, ND–mainly because it’s finally warm enough and the days long enough to make you actually want to venture out for any length of time. If you live here (or have lived here), you know what I mean. 

A little Fargo, ND background for the uninitiated. Winter means usually staying out only long enough for your car to cool down just a little. Heaven knows that getting into a cold car in January (and having to wait for it to warm up) is probably one of the most aggravating things about winter, and hence, not going out during our frigid winter nights. I’m not inclined to list all sorts of weather facts about my hometown–if you really want to know, Google it. I apologize if that sounds rude. Oh, and one strange little fact: I’m not nearly as ND nice as I should be. But that, darlings, is what keeps life fun. xo
