Where'd the heat go?

Here I have been dying to get to the beach all week because it was so fucking hot, and then I get here and....It's freezing today!!! Fucking New England...

Anyway, it is supposed to be only like in the mid-60's today, and since the family is kinda beached out a bit, we are gonna do some other stuff. We are gonna take the ferry back to Hyannis this afternoon and putter around a bit over there. Nothing special, just wandering and looking in the little shops and then we will eat dinner there and come back after that. Should be fun:-)

That gives me a little bit of time this morning to check some emails, answer a phone call and write a blog post for my adoring masses:-) You do adore me, don't you? Thanks to everyone who chimed in to convince The Boy to come with me...the peer pressure finally got to him. Special thanks to Big Sis, who let us borrow her car, which was kinda the deal-sealer:-D

I don't even feel as bad now about making him skip out on work now, because he will have a couple hours this morning to get some work done, too. So it all worked out for everyone:-) OK, so maybe he was a little bit irritated that he slept by himself and I piled into bed with my two little sisters, but whatever...I don't get that chance very often:-) I promise to make it up to him...(hee hee!)

So I guess that is about it...hopefully everyone has a good weekend planned. I have to work Monday and Tuesday, but am taking Thursday and Friday off. The Boy and I are heading up to New Hampshire with his family for some vacation time, which should be really nice. Then the following weekend is Big Sis' bachelorette party (which is sort of combined with The Brain Surgeon's Bachelor Party, but not entirely...I will give you more details later on.) Anyone else have any vacation plans?

Too smart for her own good

It's still super hot, and I still wish I was at the beach. The Boy and I had a date last night...we went out for Sushi, and then ice cream and just kinda walked around for a while. It was kinda fun:-) Then we went back and hung out on the deck with Smoking Hot Roommate, The Rocket Scientist and a cooler full of beers...all in all a pretty good night. And I even got to be pretty early:-)

Kind of a funny story...I have to talk to Munchkin every night before bed. Allegedly, I am tucking her in, but to be truthful it is as much for me as it is for her. So, when she was going to bed at about 10:30 last night, she called. But I was away from the phone and didn't get it...which is really rare, I almost never don't pick up when she calls, especially when I am sort of expecting her to call.

So I called her back about 10 minutes later, which led to the following exchange:

Me: "Hey kiddo, what's up?"
Munchkin: "Nothing, I was going to bed, that's all."
Me: "Sorry I missed your call."
Munchkin (giggling): "Were you having sex?"
Me (thinking): Well, yes...as a matter of fact I was.
Me (saying): "No, silly. I was on the deck and left my phone inside."
Munchkin (still giggling): "Whatever, you were totally having sex."
Me: "I was not! And I am not talking about this with you."
Munchkin (giggling uncontrollably).

This is what I get for attempting open and honest communication...I get teased by a 12 year old...

Anyway, you all have a very important job today, and I am relying on you to do it. I am leaving for the beach after work, and I am trying to get The Boy to take tomorrow off from work and come with me. He is making some noise about having stuff to day, even though he could easily work for a while from the beach if necessary.

So, we all need to strongly encourage him to take tomorrow off, leave work early today and go to the beach with me:-) I am counting on your support!!!

One Steamy Summer Night

The heat does funny things to people. Especially this kind of thick, oppressive, city heat. Walking out of an air conditioned room, the feeling of stepping into a warm soup is unmistakable...the first instant of thick, humid air filling your lungs is a shock to your system.

But that kind of heat makes people slow down and think, too. And so there we sat on a fourth story deck, private enough to be in our underwear, but public enough to hear all of the sounds of the living, breathing, gasping city. The nighttime view was spectacular, lights twinkling a little bit through the thick air, the hum of air conditioners softening the noise of the traffic. Beer tastes better, and fights off the sweat better when it comes from an icy bucket. The water dripping off of the bottle and onto my chest was shocking and refreshing at the same time.

We talked about everything, like we sometimes do. Real stuff...politics and world events. Serious stuff...families and children and marriage. Goofy stuff...shoes and celebrities and hair and pretty dresses. I know what you are going to say almost before you say it, but I still like to hear it come from you. I like to hear your voice, and listen to you talk. I just like being around you, away from any of the other distractions of life, alone in the bond that is just between us, and no one else.

Time stands still in moments like this, just you and I, alone with ourselves and our thoughts. You already know how much I love you, but I still wish I could say it better than I can. I need new words. But the time goes fast, too...how can six hours disappear that quickly? The sun was still up when we sat down, but is now long gone until tomorrow. Moments like that should never end, but eventually they do, hopefully to be followed by more moments like it.

The sex is hot, and sweaty and urgent but not rushed. A well-designed symphony of mouths and hands and bodies. The occasional breeze is a welcome addition, and reminds us of the excitement of being outside. We know by now that no one can see us, but it still feels just a little bit wrong, and a little bit dirty. When we are done, lying there searching for a usable breath, soaked in our own and each others' sweat, I am at peace. Totally and completely content.

Going back inside, the cold air on wet, sweaty skin is startling and relieves us both immediately of the heat from outside. Its late, and I am tired, and so are you. The sheets are cool and by now your warm body feels good next to mine. The sleep will be peaceful, we will both wake up once together. This time the sex is sweet and warm and comforting. The orgasm is longer and softer and makes we wish it will never stop. We fall back asleep together, too.

Outside it's hot, and outside it's scary. But in here it is cool and perfect. And in here, there is you. And nothing bad can happen to me as long as I have you.

It's 96 degrees outside...why am I here?

The beach was awesome, and I am totally bummed that I am back at work today. Short week, though...just three days, and then just two next week and a five day weekend, so I suppose I really shouldn't be complaining too much! But it is gonna be brutally hot today, and I would rather be at the beach:-D

The weather cooperated, so we had three straight beautiful days at the beach (well, 2 and a half...we got there about 1:00 on Saturday). It looks like the week is going to be really, really hot and sunny, so the rest of the family will certainly appreciate their extended stay! As far as I know, they are just gonna bum around on the beach...whether they go into town for a bit, or decide to be more ambitious and venture to the mainland is up to them!


I guess I don't really have any, like, specific stories or anything...it was just a really fun weekend. the party on Friday night was perfect...tons of people stopped in for a bit, or stayed all night, to meet my family. A bunch of my friends made it for at least a little bit so they could meet Tinkerbelle and everyone else. Boss Foxy and her husband came by, as did some other people I work with...it is always kind of weird to see work friends outside of work...lol.

Big Sis was a most excellent hostess, and let's all thank her for opening her home up to entertain my whole family (which is...once again...of no relation to her at all, she is just nice like that. Also, she likes to show off her house...which you would, too!!!) I suppose an identical thanks is due to The Brain Surgeon, since it is his house, too. Well, maybe not technically (32 more days:-))...but we don't need to worry about that.


We didn't really have too much trouble getting to the beach. The ferry was a total zoo, but the overall delay wasn't too bad, and since I was kind of expecting it, it was manageable. And once we got there, we really just kinda hung around. We hung out on the beach, cooked out both nights, drank a lot and just basically relaxed. Basically the whole crew was there...all the Chicago folks, plus my whole Boston "family" and all of their various attachments. Some assorted friends and neighbors came over at various times (one of whom seemed to have a bit of a thing for Tinkerbelle's Mom, and she for him...we will need to keep an eye on this!)


Munchkin introduced Tinkerbelle to all of her "summer friends", several of whom were down for their first weekend of what will be the whole summer. And they went swimming and built sandcastles and basically just enjoyed the weather and the location. If there is anything better than being a kid at the beach all summer, I don't know what it is...


I took Tinkerbelle out for a really long jet ski ride on Sunday morning, which was fun. We went up the coast of the island a ways...I had to stop and get gas because I went too far to make it back without running out:-) And every once in a while we would just stop and float around in the water and look and stuff and have girl talk...I had fun:-)


Anyways...they are down there for the rest of the week, and Munchkin is with them. I am going back Thursday night after work and staying until Saturday. Let's all start encouraging The Boy to skip out on work on Friday so he can come with me:-) I am pretty good at convincing him of stuff, but I can use all the help you can offer:-)

They are all flying out on Saturday, so I think I will come back and make sure they get to the airport ok and stuff. Hopefully they enjoy the rest of the stay...I think they are all having fun so far, and I am really glad they all finally came out to visit:-)

10,000 Visitors

Site Meter has spoken...and visitor #10,000 came through at about 9:30 yesterday morning. Of all the places in the world that I have had visitors from, this one came from Quincy, MA, a scant 5 miles down route 93. He or she works for American National Power and found me from Green Line Boy (who also works somewhere near there, although he is a little vague on the details:-P).

And then I came in this morning and found a handful of comments from new people that had never commented before...yay!!! So, I would like to take this chance to thank all of my regular readers, as well as the ones who drop in occasionally, and even the perverts who just like when I talk about blowjobs and hot tub sex:-) Mostly I wanna thank the commenters, emailers and IMers for your input...it is fun having "friends" that remain a little bit mysterious!!!

For the second straight day, I woke up to just about the cutest site that I can imagine: my two little sisters cuddled up and sleeping soundly. I know that maybe a lot of people don't understand why I would appreciate that so much, but it just sorta sums up my whole life for me in one cute little package. A lot of random circumstance and a lot of not-so-happy stuff preceded that brief moment, and I dearly appreciate the chance to observe it for a moment and reflect on what it all means. Kinda philosophical for a Friday, I know...

Anyway, Munchkin played tour guide all day, and the whole family (which, just as a reminder, is not her family at all...Munchkin and I have the same mother, Tinkerbelle and I have the same father, and this is his family) seemed to have a good time. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, which I was happy about. Then the whole crew made its way over to our normal Thursday night haunt for dinner where Munchkin taught Tinkerbelle a very valuable life lesson: all drinks taste better when they come in a fancy glass!

Incidentally, one of my Uncle's did ask why exactly the bartenders know Munchkin by name...and know what she drinks... I think maybe my "Mother of the Year" trophy is in doubt:-)

We got ice cream after that, and then a bunch of people turned in for the night. It was still kinda early (like 8:30?) and a couple of my cousins wanted to go out, so we headed over to the waterfront to hang out for a bit...and watched a killer Thunderstorm roll in off the ocean! Munchkin came with us...again to a bar where they know her by name:-)...but Tinkerbelle went back to our place with her Mom for a bit. I would have liked to bring her with us, but it would have been kinda loud, and she was pretty beat from the day. Also...I think my warped moral code has a bar-hopping age limit of 10 :-D

We hung out there for a bit, but not too late. I sort of have to have Munchkin out of there by 10:00, at which point we sort of wanted to go out some more, but not enough that we felt like taking Munchkin home and then going out again, so we just bagged it and had a couple drinks on our deck. Which is always fun:-)

I am not totally sure what they are all doing today. I think they all wanted to do a Duck Boat tour, which they didn't get a chance to do yesterday, and I am not sure beyond that. I told them that they can always just wander up Newbury Street and look around...that is always a good way to kill an afternoon!!! It can be expensive if the shopping bug strikes...hee hee...but fun! I also get the feeling that they are sort of getting on each other's nerves a bit and may need to split up a little bit today...:-).

Party at Big Sis' tonight...everyone thank Big Sis for entertaining:-) That should be fun, a ton of friends are dropping by to say Hi, and mostly to meet my little Tinkerbelle. Then tomorrow morning we are packing up for the beach. I ended up renting two big vans to bring everyone, and I am driving down with a bunch of stuff in my car, and Big Sis is toting a bunch of stuff, too. I couldn't get all the cars on one ferry, which is kind of a pain, but not really a huge deal, I guess.

I also haven't quite prepared them all for "The Beach House", either...although I am guessing that they are wondering exactly what a house looks like that can sleep 30 people...

So...I hope everyone has a good weekend! I don't think I will be here on Monday, so I won't be posting again until Tuesday. I should be approving comments, though, so they will show up. And I may even respond:-P
