What a Week!

What a Week!

I had a fabulous time last night helping pre-launch a local business. There was wine, I wore black pumps and stockings (oh, and a snazzy dress), and Superman was there, too. I can really get into this part of work. I’m actually pretty shocked that not all of Stepford is, well, Stepford. Even when they kind of epitomize all that Stepford is about. This family of entrepreneurs I work with has really kind of tilted my thinking about this area. Who knew?

Anyway… September is almost over, and I couldn’t be happier. Historically, everything goes to shit for me in September and I can’t tell you how many times that Green Day song plays in my head throughout the month.

But, its over…ish.

This week has been busy, surreal, unbelievable. From the bizarre birthday dinner where I really began to feel sorry for Martian to the work stuff swirling around me, the insights of a 14 year old, and, well, unrelationship issues, I’m ready to throw in the towel on this month and a few other things. Also, I’m crampy, need a nap and foot rub.

I’m also ignoring the fact that the 29th is supposed to be pretty fucked up, according to every astrologer out there. I’m hoping I already got hit with that energy and don’t have to go rob a bank or something… although, then I’d have something fun to do this weekend. Hmmm.

So, its my first weekend of being single and not crazy, without the kids. I have big, big plans…

Work.

Clean.

Sleep.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Bonus to the visitation schedule… every other Friday, I get to enjoy that it IS Friday, and I have 48 hours of very little responsibility. Its the little things, yo.

He’s 12 Today

He’s 12 Today

Enigma hit 12 today. My baby boy is one year away from teendom, and while the course he is on is divergent from the mainstream, the fact remains that he is older, wiser and generally a lot smarter than I am.

This is the boy who has a smile that melts hearts, who will forever keep me from getting lost, and will likely be the person who helps pick out my next car. The person who has taught me the most about patience, alternative thinking, and unconditional love.

His idea of the perfect party? Me, Twitches, ComicBoy, Superman, the Dynamic Duo and Martian. At Outback, with steak and bottled root beer. It’s all he talked about this morning, and after school, and he got his party.

My baby boy is 12 :)

 

Move Along, Move Along, Nothing to See Here…

Move Along, Move Along, Nothing to See Here…

I tried, about two hours ago, to explain to Superman my new “leaf” and how my life has mostly done a 180 since the other day when I lost my mind and became happy.

With about an 18 hour period over the weekend, I’ve remained in such a state. For the record, yo.

But, its hard to explain, especially to someone who was a mental sounding board for a good amount of the reasons I was not being 100% me. Too much to explain, and personal epiphanies are never exciting to anyone else except the person having them, and maybe a therapist.

Then we wrestled. And, I forgot what I was saying. Heh.

The Dildoventures Continue…

The Dildoventures Continue…

I have a love/hate relationship with sex toys. I mean, every now and again, I’ll decide that I need or want one, and every time I do, something fucks up.

My first set of toys was one of those starter kits. I forgot I even had it, in fact, for years, I forgot I had the kit with the egg thing and sleeves and some other stuff. Until, of course, I moved several states away and was unpacking a box… a box in which my little love kit had been carefully wrapped in newsprint by anonymous movers. Between laughing and cringing, I tossed them, feeling they were somehow tainted by the hands of some creepy guy who clearly had done bad things to them before delicately placing them in a box as a symbol of his undying love for me.

My next adventure involved a pretty personal care package that included a vibe and a Rabbit. It was a tragic love story. You should read it.

But there is more, because I don’t learn my lesson and I am fascinated by sex toys and how I can fuck them up. One day, Superman and I were chatting, and even after I explained my bad karma with silicone, we were both kinda keen on the idea of seeing what would happen with a little non-latex love. I hop on Amazon and do a quick search and find something that I’m pretty sure will do the job, and that I won’t somehow break, destroy or otherwise end up needing surgery as a result of its use.

Then, of course, Amazon offers me a bundle.

Who am I to say no to Amazon?

That’s where I should have stopped. I told myself to stop. I said, “Melia, you know where this is going to lead. You have an uncontrollable dildo addiction and you need to seek help.”

(I hate that particular voice in my head. If you’ve ever tried to be my voice of reason, you know what I did. That’s right, I ignored that voice and kept on shopping.)

One of the suggestions was for a blue, veiny vibrator. I’m all about aliens, so I started looking at it and reading reviews that all said…

Great toy, kind of rough, very stiff, my wife/gf loved it.

Well, if THEY loved it, I was going to love it, too! I shrugged off the fact that it was an 8″ dildo that was made of something other than soft, flexible silicone.

I should also mention that I struggle with depth perception. And, obviously, sanity.

THEN…

I decided all my other toys vibrated, and I wanted an actual dildo.  Coincidentally, there were dildos in the suggested items that say…

Customers also bought…

WELL! If they loved the blue vibe, and still bought one of those (9″) humdingers down there, I WAS GOING TO AS WELL!

And, I did. It had really good reviews… and a suction cup!

So, I waited. I told Superman what I’d gotten and he said something like…

Are you fucking crazy?

Yes, Superman, yes, I am.

The first packages to arrive were the first three items. A sleek purple vibrator, one with the butterfly thing, and what is now known as Scary Smurf.

I opened those at home, alone, and quite possibly started to giggle maniacally, while tears streamed down my face. There was no way Scary Smurf was going to be my new BFF. HO. LEE. SHIT. BIG. BLUE. VEINY. HARD. OUCH.

Superman… he laughed, said, “I told you so,” and then dared me to…

Heh.

It took a couple of days to heal for the next package to arrive, and since I was traumatized frightened by Scary Smurf, I waited until Superman got here to open the final toy. The dildo. I waited because when I went to lift the package, it was fucking heavy.

This is not good.

As I unveiled my final prize, and tore off the wrapping, my eyes fell on the floor and ran away screaming.

This was the biggest thing I’ve seen, aside from the huge anal plug on display at a sex shop I used to visit in college.

9″ long. 300″ around. I kid you not.

I pulled it out of the package, crying. My vagina cried. Your vagina probably cried in sympathy.

Then, it hit me.

There was a hairy man on the package, without a shirt.

The light came on.

I laughed so, so hard. Harder than Scary Smurf. Harder than the penis used to make this real-size model of…

A big, gay cock.

I, friends, am now the proud owner of a big, gay cock.

Kapow!

Kapow!

I was just sitting here, minding my own business yesterday, around noon, still rolling over everything that had happened in my mind… over and over again, when *it* happened.

It was literally like a bolt of lightning.

I shook, my heart started beating faster and faster. From out of nowhere, a shift happened, and I was filled with what I can only describe as pure joy.

Which, of course, I took to mean I had finally flipped my lid. I mean, the stress and strain of the past decade had finally done me in, and I was delirious. I thought, in that moment, how nice it was that my kids weren’t around to witness this clear decent into blissful madness I was suddenly experiencing.

Further analyzing (as I do) WTF was going on, while smiling and holding back happy tears (huh?), things just clicked. Something Superman had said to me during all the madness, my official separation paperwork that needs to be notarized, a chat with my crazy-ass “forbidden” friend, all of these really painfully sad blogs, something ComicBoy said and sessions of counseling with the BFF who loves to hear my weirdness all came together in one moment of clarity and magic.

I was free.

I didn’t have to hide anymore.

I didn’t have to be ashamed of all the bad choices I’ve made since, well, my mom died. On the 16th anniversary of her death, and the 7th birthday of my twins, I was free. 16 years is a long, long time to beat a stable of dead horses. Furthermore, in this freedom (and personal forgiveness), I didn’t have to doubt myself today, that for once, maybe I know what I’m doing… at least a little bit. And those voices in my head (no, not *those* voices, heh) could go to hell.

It was, well, wow. Amazing. It still really, really is. I feel fucking fantastic, and I’m not just blowing smoke up my own ass for once.

——–LATER———

Business started rolling in again, and Superman and I were discussing the various things needed to complete a few tasks. I had already determined that if nothing else, we were really good together working, and that my own business would suffer were that connection to break entirely. So, excitement about business turned into excitement about *other* things and, well, I’m a grown-up. So there.

——–EVEN LATER———

The Twitches birthday was held at the Rat Palace, with my Crew, Martian, Superman and his Dynamic Duo in attendance. Good times were had by all, and, well, things were oddly “normal.”  Then a bunch of other stuff happened (hehe) to indicate that things just might be okay one day. Which is great, and I have the highest hopes, and we’ll see…

BUT, back to ME!

I’m cool right now. Happy with me. Really fucking happy with me.

So, in light of that, tomorrow, I have a fucking incredible blog to share. Dildo adventures. Because, well, a girl’s got needs ;)
