Updates are here (finally.)
First things first, Lent is on and so far so good. The thing is, I can go a week with out a drink and not think anything about it but the knowledge that I can't have one makes me want one. I forgot all about this curious phenomenon until I started back up again. Suddenly, I find myself staring at wine labels and thinking about how I'd love to spend the afternoon in the back yard on a warm breezy day, trying whichever and however many bottles I want. (It's a good thing the rain has started. It's quelled that temptation a bit.) So, what day is it? The sixth, huh? 35 more days and I'll be sipping whiskey and guinness and wine and getting myself into a whole helluva lot of trouble.
Speaking of yards, the house is coming along nicely. It has been slower than expected because everything seems to be waiting on everything else. For instance, I didn't want to paint until after the fumigations, so I waited for that. Now, I don't want to paint until after I replace all of the windows. That's going on Mon. And, I don't want to start moving my stuff until after I paint. So, mostly, I've been doing laundry and packing and scrubbing walls and fixing the electrical stuff. It isn't the same without a nice cold beer though.
And now onto the sweet honey I got myself: (For those of you squemish to talks of a erotic nature, I'll spoiler this. For the rest, enjoy.

), and the shower was super relaxing. The showers at the pool have a detachable head which she used while I finished myself behind her. (Grody, I know) The kissing and caressing and groping that happened was enough to keep my hands off of myself for a week (but really, why?). And to add to it all was the fact that one of the rangers could walk in at any moment. The risk of being caught always gives it a "grammar school t.p.ing a house naughty feel" to it.
Yes, Voss, I know you took a peek in that spoiler.
oh and one more thing:
Apart from all of that, things are the same. Work has started again. Next month will be busy. There is already St. Pat's which lasts for 5 days in my household Plus, I'm going to see M. Ward. By then, I should be all moved in and will be able to take pics of the new place for your viewing pleasures.
Until then, have a drink for me and know that I am really really jealous.
Thank you for making me laugh for the first time today. You have no idea how much I needed that.
Reading going? Walking going? Not slacking just because I haven't been around have you?
I think that I may start looking into fares to fly out. I really need a break, some alone time for just me. Maybe for a long weekend or something? I have to see what the $$$ looks like then......
