Trying to Learn October 11, 2008

Tonight is date number two in my Three Nights, Three Dates Series. 

 

I’ll let you know how it goes, but I know this: no sex.  no sex.  no sex.

 

It occurs to me that I do not know how to date.  I know how to meet and fuck.  I also know how to meet and bond and fall in love for(-not-so-)ever, build a home, and spend years together.  But it’s that in between step I’ve never known how to do.  I’m going to try to learn.

The Real Life of a Woman October 10, 2008

Secret Confessions of a Horny Housewife?

 

I am not a housewife anymore.  I am not sex-deprived and horny any more.  There is no reason for me to live my life in secret.  I’m not doing anything wrong, so I have nothing to confess. 

 

Now we know what I am not.  So what am I?  I am a woman struggling to synchronize the disparate components of her life.  A mother who doesn’t spend enough quality time with her son.  A lonely person looking for companionship, understanding, support, and friendship.  oh yeah, and sex.  that too.  a compulsive grammarian who has given herself permission to surrender to the powerful pull of lower-case letters.  A woman who is tired, and confused, and up too late, and who doesn’t know what she’s writing, but a woman who is not on the verge of a nervous breakdown. 

 

Isn’t if funny that it wasn’t until I was officially separated from my husband that I did something I feel kind of ashamed about? 

 

I’m tired and confused and my vagina is sore.  I’ll give the old girl a break now.  And you too. 

 

Goodnight.
