cupcakes for dinner and a side of sexual freedom please
So I've just returned home from playing my first indoor volleyball game of the season. It went okay, we lost two out of three to a deaf team. Yeah, you heard me.
So after getting home, I immediately have to pack up my sleepy children in the van, to take our 15 year old baby sitter home at 11 pm. In the meantime, I haven't eaten ALL blessed day, but I don't want to stop at a drive through because I'm afraid the ultrasonic boom of an intercom will awaken my precious little beasts, and I won't be able to eat anyway!
On a normal day, my husband would've been home and we probably would have had McDonald's or a pizza for dinner, instead I dined on a Hostess Cupcake.
When my husband is gone, oddly enough, I just don't take care of myself like I usually do.
Why is that?
I still care for my kids and my pets the same, but I just won't feel like brushing my teeth or taking off my make-up. Gross I know. Thank God I have to interact with the outside world from time to time while he's gone, otherwise I'd probably fall apart. Some model huh?
See thats just my beef though. Men think that the SECOND they leave, their women are whoopin' it up with other men. Why is that??
Why so insecure fellas?
Saturday night, I went out with my friend Kelly,
(Aaron's girlfriend if you're following his blog) and my other friend, Paul. We went to a dance club downtown called, "Have a nice day cafe" pretty funky 70's retro club. Anyway, the three of us danced, had a fishbowl, and for those of you who don't know what I'm referring to, it's an actual fishbowl...filled with alcohol and a little fruitpunch. Very yummy, even for a non drinker like me.
Now we all had our share of "LOOKS" from people, you know what I'm talking about, it's only to be expected in a place like that. Yes Aaron, even Kelly got looks from other men.
Someone even took a picture of her ass with their camera phone!
But neither of us women acted on these attractual invitations, Paul could because he's single.
Now I don't know how Aaron reacted when i rolled Kelly up to their house at 3am, but I can only imagine what may have been said later.
But why is it okay for guys to go out with their buddies for a couple of drinks, say after work or a volleyball game and the woman is supposed to feel assured that everything is innocent.
Aren't these the same assembly of men that my husband doesn't want ME around at a bar, but I'm supposed to trust that they only act like that...from time to time. Right.
I must admit though, it is good see that you might just still be attractive to the opposite sex. Maybe I'm alone in this, but since I got married, that part of my sexual radar has long since broken. And it's funny because my husband fixes radar for the military, but this is a much different frequency.
Now I won't even begin to get into how I feel about bachelor/bachelorette parties, but keeping on the topic of how the playing field is about as level as the Tower of Pisa, I'm also protesting the common misbelief that women aren't as sexually turned on by photographs, movies or anything else a man thinks is strickly taboo for a woman.
Let me tell you a little secret fellas, just like you say a guy is lying when he tells his girl he's
"just not into that stuff", woman lie about it too.
And Why is THAT?
I'm not too positive, but I think a lot of it has to do with fear - on both sides.
Women are afraid that if they reveal what they like, the man will be disgusted. Hello! It's more like intimadated. And a man is afraid that she'll think he's a pervert and never respect him again. We already know you're perverts, we just pretend we don't notice.
Now I'm not a feminist or a freak, I just can't see why we hide our true feelings from each other. Is it that much more exciting to keep it to yourself?!?
I didn't have two kids in 16 months by being shy, but there are even some things my husband and I don't talk about, and that's strange to me.
Well,
I guess we'll have something to talk about when he gets home, after I put on my B.C. patch.

Hey Adrianne ( i just can't get used of this Addy gal, and Adge may reveal my true age). So I never heard of this blogging thing, however your insights on men and women reveal a begining to a much neaded philosophy-perhaps you should start writing a book!
-sarita
Sara,
See I have a hard time getting used to that Sarita gal.
A book may be in my future, entitled
"Ramblings of a Generation X Wife"
Not "Ex-Wife", but maybe I would be if I wrote that book.
But, If I need an Art Therepist for...uh...thoughtful illustrations for my book, I'll call you!
-Addy, but always your Adge
"but I can only imagine what may have been said later."
Not much. Except, to inform her that I was under the impression that she was at a church festival. Last time I checked, those end around 10pm. This leaves several hours unaccounted for, which had I planned on her for something, would've been extremely annoying.
There's no point in trying to reason with her. Besides, the dog is good company. The rules are:
1) Call me before the cops do.
2) If you're out late, don't expect me to be pleasant when you call me for a ride or wake me up coming home.
3) If I'm annoyed because you broke rule 2, DO NOT try and talk tro me about your day, how drunk you are, or how much fun you had.
Actually , this festival went until 11pm, and we didn't get out of there until 11:30. By the time we got to Have a Nice Day,it was after midnight, so we only had about 2 hours of "unaccounted" fun time. Besides, I heard you were having a Nerd's Night In with the boys, engaging in all of the entertainment Playstation provides.
So there's no reason to be mad at kelly cause she didn't really break any of your RULES.
To recap for our potential readers:
Rule 1) The cops never called you about Kelly.
Though she did accuse an officer of not doing his job because he was too busy oogling a drunk girl in a very short skirt
Rule 2) She didn't call you for a ride, and I've slept in the same room with you and I'm pretty sure nothing can wake you over the sound of your snoring
And Rule 3)You actually broke yourself. If Kelly wanted to tell you about her night and share her experience with you, you had NO reason to get annoyed because Rules 1 & 2 were not broken.
Besides you were invited to come along and decided not too, so any drunken fun you're mad about missing is your own fault!
So Phewey on you!
Did you READ my last entry about why men get so jelous when women go out?!?
Do you think I was upset that she went out? Keep her. :)
I didn't say she broke any rules, this time. So, what's your point?
Ive had her for 16 years, it's your turn to step up to the plate.
And It's not my place to care if you were upset or not, I was just making my case that we went out, had a good time, and it probably won't happen for ANOTHER 2 years, since that was that last time she and I did anything like that.
My point was that I had an opportunity to go have a good time with my friends and I didn't want Kelly to suffer for it at the hands of and angry republican blogger. She'd be blackmarked in Scandanavia!
