What a soaking! The remnants of Hurricane Ike provided some much needed relief to my soul and my plants. I adore the rain. I adore the clouds. I adore the smell of the falling water.
The evening ended with a dead car battery.
It was so refreshing to have a vault of memories come flooding back to me via the raindrops.
Simple times with my brothers and sisters.
Sitting on the front porch with my Mom.
Walking to school with my green umbrella.
Old movies with old friends.
It was very nice.
The early afternoon was spent preparing invitations to my birthday party. Joe and I had quite a good time preparing and wrapping the chocolate bars with the invite. We headed to Laura's house to do a quick errand with her, and then headed to Clem's.
Numerous people. Numerous friends. I never realized how many people Joe and I know! It was amazing. I've always known we/I was friendly. But, GEEZ!--yesterday was a terrific boost to my self esteem. (Free candy bars and a party go a LONG way!) I re-connected with a few people, met a few new people, and shored up some valuable friendships.
The evening ended with a dead car battery. Thank you, Uncle Edward, for jumping me in the parking lot!
And a revelation.
I looked down at my red toes and realized what a wonderful life I have.
Thank you to everyone in my life. You are my inspiration, my heart, and my soul.

Doesn't my husband have CUTE TOES!!!!!
Yes the rain was a refreshing relief... I too forgot just how much i enjoy those Sunday mornings when you roll over in bed and hear the rain falling...
I had a warm dog snuggled up next to me, the smell of coffee brewing in the kitchen, candles lit through out the house, and my husband on the computer in dead thought.
Simply… I woke up with a smile on my face and love in my heart for all of it!!!!!
Of course this one came with strong winds and heavy down pours. We sat in the back room and watched as the neighbors car port cover tore apart. Scary, but exciting at the same time. I went out in the rain to check "the grounds" - water was flooding all around the house, the pool was ready to overflow, but yet still refreshing and surreal. I didn’t want t o come back in… How clean, how refreshing it made me feel.
Let me tell you… I to had a revelation yesterday. I realized just how much I enjoyed spending this morning and every morning with my husband.
Rodney, I love you. You have brought many things into my life, and I thank god for every moment I get to share with you.
As the day turned…. We were out at our local hang out (Clems) handing out invitations to a Halloween / Birthday party and again realized that we do have allot of friends. And seemed that everyone wanted a candy bar.
I wanted to do something special for my man, so I created candy wrappers as the invitation, his sexy face on the front, and a cute saying on the back, YOU BRING THE TRICKS AND WE’LL HAVE THE TREATS!”, and we sat on the back room floor and slipped them over the bars, and well... I believe they were a HIT! We had so many people come to us and ask, Where's mine? What a day!!!
A thought change.... Realization of our world was brought to me once again…
We were asked by another couple today if we "played" as a couple with others, my answer was, WE DON'T PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS!!"
l know so many couples that do play, separately and together, they share that intimacy with others. So I ask this…. SO what’s left????? What is left to distinguish the difference between lovers, partners, husbands, and just plain roommates?
To me, in my mind, in my heart there must always be something that is kept sacred, that one thing that is bound, promised, or just agreed to be shared by only and with only the one your love...
To me that is what makes the difference between roommates and a true honest relationship. In the straight world it is just expected, monogamy, in the gay world it is just NOT expected. That’s CRAZY!!!!!
WELL... come on gay boys... we can do better than that!
I say lets respect our partners, let’s respect our fellow couples, LET’S RESPECT OURSELVES!!!!
My husband and I we are monogamist, we do feel that - that part of our world is meant only for each other. I don't judge others for their choices, but i do ask one thing... NO I EXPECT - that others respect our choice!
To my friends, to my husband, to myself...
Respect!!! Because I KNOW I am worth it!!!!
Love and Kicks,
Joseph ( Yo-Yo)
I wish I had the same comforting feeling on my Sunday Morning. But once again, the contractor that rehabbed our house, did more shitty work or the person who did the roof did shitty work. I don't know who I am going to blame for this one yet!!!!!! But we had 3 different containers in our bedroom to catch the rain that was coming through our ceiling.
It was a very good thing that it was not coming in over our bed. That would not have been a very pleasant phone call to who ever I decide to blame it on.
