Hello everyone 
To add to all the other shit I have going on now I have completely lost my voice.
No talking, not a peep.
My husband isn't too worried because I talk his ear off all the time about shit that he really doesn't care about, but like any good husband he listens. He said it was quite peaceful.
Its frustrating the crap out...

I'm sitting here eating my Vegemite on toast and drinking my tea thinking about my dreams for the last two nights. They are quite unusual and have got me thinking why I would dream something like this??
I have always had a very active imagination and been very creative. Maybe not having creative outlet has something to do with it, or maybe I have a...

Hey, Venilla.
If you and Adam do come to the US some day, know that you have an open invitation to visit Boston. Vvixen and I would welcome your company, and feel free to bring the little ones if you want -- our 4 year old (would be 8, then) always loves to make new friends.
Now back to more immediate business related to your dreams. Read this:

Please take good care of yourself, dear.
Cheers,

My dog got out this morning 
I was so worried but she came straight back. She's a good girl. I told my stupid husband she could get out but did he fix it!?? NO!! Lucky she was only down the road playing with the dog a few houses down.
My mum came over yesterday for a visit and things aren't going so well for her....

didn't realize you are pregnant. I think B&W photographs of pregnant women (done by a pro) can be awesome. You should consider it. Just a thought. They must have some online way in Oz of finding good photographers.
What a weekend!
I am glad its over. I worked Friday night which was kinda fun. Work normally is. Long and hard but fun. But it wasn't so good for Adam, Harley was really sick. She was up all night and hes not too god at that sort of thing. He doesn't know the little things that help to comfort her. I got home at...

Uh, I'll bet the heat is insane over there. I live in a desert, summer's are just no fun here at all...
Sorry bout the little one, i hope she gets better and makes your week a little smoother. Here's to working moms!

I feel shit, My body feels disgusting.
I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself. Who have I become? A wife, mother, housewife?
I don't even know what I like anymore.
But I have a clean house and a well fed, happy family, I guess thats what matters.

You are all 3 in one and more... All the other titles that come with them. Like you said you have a happy and healthy family. You begin to feel that and recognize it...
But it's ok to feel that way, things change though

Men just don't get it. And they aren't supposed to, they're programmed that way or something. You are gorgeous and amazing, even more so because you're a mother.
Thought I should get off my butt and do another blog. My computer has been fucked so my wonderful brother in law is fixing it for me. Not much new stuff is happening. We are still broke and have decided to renew our lease so we wont be moving untill april. which is good for now but its going to be fucked when the new...

Sound like you have a great family good luck with the pregnancy and the new baby. Kids really enrich your life

I'm definitely going to try my best to be a good role model. From now on that is... Tell him not to act like me when I was younger 
I'm so happy she's gonna be good. It was an unbelievable relief

Holy crap. I haven't had to answer this many questions since I was in college. Which was, like, a lot fucking longer ago than I care to admit. I just had to do homework for my son's preschool the other day, now this! :-)
Okay, here goes:
1. Place of birth?
Chicago, IL USA
2. Places you've resided?
Illinois and Massachusetts -- despite what it says on my profile, Key West is just my adopted home town
3. Favorite place you've resided?
Growing fonder of New England (it's about time, after 15 years), but I'm not sure I've lived in my favorite place yet.
4. Continents you've been on?
North America only, 'cause I am a loser
5. Countries you've visited?
US and Canada (see above)
6. Favorite country?
Depends on whether I'm feeling patriotic or really disgusted by the stupidity of my homeland's government
7. Favorite city?
Key West, FL for drunken, naked fun. New York City for overall coolness. But I'm a Red Sox fan at heart, so I guess I gotta give the nod to Boston.
8. Least favorite airport?
Newark, NJ. Should there even be a question about that?
9. Places you'd like to visit but haven't yet?
London
Barcelona
Ortona (Italy)
Munich
Jamaica
Mexico
Las Vegas
AUSTRALIA (no kidding, I'm not just saying that 'cause your from Australia, lol)
Costa Rica
Brasil
Parma, Italy
Tokyo
???
10. Places you'd NEVER EVER go?
Back to the midwest USA -- grew up there, have had enough, thank you
many places in the middle east, not out of disrespect, but out of a general feeling that Americans aren't exactly welcome these days. . .
11. Favorite vacation you've taken?
It's a tie:
Any one of several trips to Key West with Vvixen -- she gets sexier and more adventurous every time we go, and the balance has tipped from me pushing her out of her comfort zone to her pushing me out of my comfort zone on vacations now -- adventures are fun
- OR -
Our trip to Disney World this past spring with our 4 year old -- how ever much disdain you may feel for the corporate fakeness that is so overwhelming there, seeing the joy and wonder in the face of a little child you love is priceless.
12. Dream vacation?
Hmmn. Would like to take the whole family (Vvixen and son) to Key West, along with our hot, well-inked & pierced baby sitter (who is probably an SG member, but we've never had the nerve to ask, lol) -- family fun swimming and fishing by day, naughty adult fun by night with Vvixen while Babysitter X watches our son. Or naughty fun at night with Babysitter X while Vvixen watches our son. Oh fuck it, we just need to bring two baby sitters, one for baby sitting, the other for fun. :-)
13. Least favorite vacation you've taken?
Oh, I dunno. Probably one of our trips to see friends in North Dakota, Minnesota, or Indiana (same friends, they kept moving around). If you ask Vvixen, tho, she'd prolly say one of the trips to Illinois to visit my parents, lol.
14. Oceans you've seen? (or gulfs or seas...)
Atlantic
Pacific
Gulf of Mexico
Caribbean Sea
Does the Gulf of Maine count :-)
15. Favorite place to watch the sun rise?
Bailey Island, Maine
16. Favorite place to watch the sun set?
Key West, FL -- it's actually known for its sunsets. In addition to its drunken debauchery and world-class fishing.
17. You never leave home without...?
Our son. You can get in trouble for that. Also like to make sure we bring the iPhone.
18. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Gary, Indiana
19. Preferred place of death?
So long as it comes at a time when my son no longer needs me to be his daddy, I'm not real picky. But if I have a say, it might as well happen while I am out fishing. God knows I have put myself in mortal danger many times while thusly engaged, tho not so much now that I am a father, but hey, if I have to go, it might as well be while doing something I enjoy!

She is really pretty, I hope that you do like it enough to say nice things.
This week has been a little slow and I'm slowly getting fatter and fatter. Eewww.
I'm not working this weekend because I am going to a wedding and as usual have nothing to wear (I know it sounds like a typical girl thing to say, but I really don't have ANYTHING that fits my swelling body
) I guess I'll see what my sisters have...

Suspiria is one of those really creepy, violent, and bloody movies from the 70's. Only the director does it in such a artful way, you have to be a really big geek for old slasher/horror films or just old enough to remember and love that movie. I'm a geek lol
You're right about dying though, dying is dying and doesn't really matter where I die. But for me it's more like when I die will I at least say I was living happily. The other night scanning movies at 4am only getting minimum wage is not the job for me.
I have a really good imagination, maybe a little too good

Harleys party was on Saturday and it was so much fun. She loved every minute. She got really hyperactive and went crazy all day. I want to mention that my mum, Adam and our mate Hamish were great helps. and to the people who canceled to do other things... Fuck you.
She got so many beautiful clothes and toys from our friends and family. But...
