Fun and Frolic With Long-Term Love

Well today was kinda sucky, as I was tired and full of eh about everything I had to get done. Laundry, organizing my craft area, schoolwork with my daughter... Tonight was supposed to be a date night with PunkRock and we were going to play some WarMachine, but I gave him the night off. I am bushed from cleaning and such so having to think strategically would have sucked. Instead, after dinner DarkKnight and I are going to curl up on the couch and veg out in front of the TV. Maybe watch some more episodes of Glee.

Tomorrow I hope to get some nice copies of some of our wedding photos printed out and hung around the house. I have some empty frames, so why not? :)
 
Tom and I played a much-needed game of WarMachine on Tuesdsy afternoon, and then our new D&D friend came over for another round. I let PunkRock play against him, watched for a bit, and then spent some time with DarkKnight. I think we are going to try and meet up with our friend on Monday nights now, at least a couple of times a month. It was fun to get back into it, that's for sure!

Today was kind of good and kind of meh. I think my period is coming and that always makes me feel wonky. I started watching a new series on Netflix that I hadn't seen before - The Quest - which is like total LARPing! I got sucked in and excited, so I canceled going to game night tonight and instead watched all the episodes, straight through. Sigh. JUST finished, so I should probably go to bed. The good news about cracking out on this show was that I was able to encourage PunkRock to get some painting done. He's not had a lot of time lately, and when he has had time, he is using it to sleep. So, yeah, I gave him the night off and told him he had better do some painting! :)

We started a new thing here at my house tonight - Hot Dog Wednesdays! That may seem crazy, but I saw a chart online that listed a bunch of cities and countries and the different way they prepare hot dogs. A lot of them looked good and strange, so everyone went along with my idea to try a different one each week. Today was the first - the Carolina Dog, with was topped with chili, chopped onions and cole slaw. Everyone thought it was good, with various criticisms. :) Next week is the hot dog from Chile - with mashed avocado, sauerkraut, mayonnaise and chopped tomatoes.

I had good sexy times with PunkRock tonight. He initiated, which is always awesome, because it makes me feel like I am desirable, but also that I am not the horniest person ever. Honestly, DarkKnight and I haven't been intimate since before my wedding to PunkRock. This distresses me a great deal, but there it is. First I was out of town, then he was tired, and this past week he has had a terrible cold. It's on the way out though, and we are both looking forward to maybe Friday night. :) He has been huggy and snugly and wanting intimacy, so it really is that he has been ill. Of course, I have been desperately wanting to have sex with him and I am feeling out of sorts some due to that as well. Actually, just writing this here makes me sad. I miss my DarkKnight SO much.

Lately DarkKnight has been working a lot of overtime as well. They are short handed at his work so some of it has been mandatory. I've taken to spending some time sitting in his recliner in his office, working on my own paperwork while he is slogging through emails. That way I still get to be near him, and he can smile at me from time to time. :) Every hour helps, honestly, as I need to buy that new laptop! He gets paid tomorrow but we have no idea how much will be in his check as they pay for overtime hours sporadically. I mean, he will get paid, but which paycheck is always a surprise!
 
Last night we had cuddle time on the couch while watching The Goonies. We had initially planned to go see it in the theater, because the local place had it showing for $1 per ticket. However, both times sold out. I did have time to buy tickets, but when I saw that it was close to being full, I passed. I can't stand crowded theaters - they annoy me so!

Anyway, PunkRock owned an unopened box set from 2010, so we cut off the plastic and enjoyed a favorite together. We also watched the deleted scenes, which were fun. The best part was that the box set had a themed board game in it, so after the movie, we played Goonies - the board game! I won, but it was a close one!

Wow was I horny for DarkKnight afterward. I can't even describe the feelings I have for him lately - we haven't had sex in so long, and I am just needing him in the most intense way. It was PunkRock's sleepover time though, and he had to be up for work at 3 am, so I was promised sexy times today instead. I can't wait!!!

Actually, DarkKnight and I have a date to go to the dinner theater tonight. We had originally planned to go to the show at the end of the month, but his schedule at work got monkeyed with, so we moved the date to tonight. And tomorrow evening we plan to go to "Beer and Board Games" together. It should be a fun weekend!
 
Happy! So happy! Still waiting on my period to arrive this month, but as it isn't due for another couple of days, I am waiting for my down moments to stop. Ugh. For the most part, I can't breathe - my time with my loves is so wonderful, even if I'm just curled up on the couch, holding hands with one or both of them. When I'm down - there is zero reason, just a sadness that is nebulous and undefined. Sigh. I know it's my PMS. Thank goodness it's a fleeting thing. Because SQUEEEEEE! such happiness the rest of the time. :)

I'm not sure what to talk about here today. I had a great weekend - on Friday, PunkRock came home from work with a beautiful bouquet of orange flowers for me as a surprise. A funny thing, I saw in my Happiness Journal that on the exact date a year prior, he had done the same thing. It was a completely random coincidence, and it made me smile! The date with DarkKnight that evening at the dinner theater was fun and hilarity ensued throughout most of the show.

Saturday...PunkRock and I shared bagels for breakfast, and then he left to go to his game store's 3rd anniversary party. DarkKnight and I spent the morning watching episodes of Glee before running random errands. Then we made Cuban sandwiches for dinner (us and the kids) and headed over to Beer and Board Game night at the local game store after. We played Forbidden Desert and Pandemic. We won Pandemic but lost the other. It was a real good time though, as the one guy I have become Facebook friends with and real life gamer friends with over the last few months was there and we swapped funny stories with the owner. They started a discussion about poly with us and it was great to talk about their opinions and thoughts about it being nationally recognized and accepted some day.

I spent the night with a sleepover with PunkRock, after we came home. He had a good day in Glen Burnie.

Crazy good sexy times started my day today with PunkRock, and then we went back to sleep for a couple of hours. We had lunch at Sheetz and a great D&D game all afternoon. We went to dinner at a nice cafe in town that all my friends rave about, but I'd never tried previously, and it was delicious! I just came home a short while ago, and I haven't seen DarkKnight yet - he was called into work to cover for someone until 10:30 tonight. I will probably go down and sit in his office while working on ancestry stuff in a short bit.

This week doesn't look to be too busy, but I always have things going on!
 
OMG Today is just terrible - my mood is tired, irritable and out of sorts. And yep, no reason why at all, other than my period is due soon. I hate when this happens.

Today I did get a bunch of budgeting done though, and I took a closer look at our life insurance. We still don't have it in amounts that make me happy, but it's enough for now. We aren't going to be able to add to our monthly payments to increase the amount that we've got, in any case. Not this year. I will have to take a look at it again in the Fall, and what our budget can handle next year. The fact that PunkRock is paying tobacco rates is killing us, for sure.

Things are really shitty when it comes to student loans too - PunkRock has his all paid off, thank goodness, but DarkKnight still owes around $2500. Which isn't terrible, but last year we set up a separate savings account to pay the entire thing off this year, month by month, but somehow the math was wrong on it. So now I have to find $200 each month to pay it for the next 11 months. Sigh. I don't like having my budget messed with, and having to cough that up out of my fun money blows goats. I will be paying $100/month on mine until I pass away and I'm just glad I can afford to throw the minimum at it.

I did join the new Zombicide Kickstarter, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much about finances. We still have money to do some of the things we enjoy and we can eat well. I had cupcakes on the couch yesterday afternoon when I was feeling down. :)

Tonight is a date night for PunkRock and I, but he's now working late and he will probably be super tired when he does finally get home. I was going to invite over our friend to come play WarMachine, but with both of us being tired, and me being out of sorts...eh. I am going to go to trivia tomorrow night in Frederick, so I will be missing Game Night this week. I am hosting a teen game club on Thursday during the day though.

Oh! Tomorrow is supposed to be free movie day all day/night at the local theater, so I need to check what shows are playing. PunkRock and I were going to go in the afternoon.

Rhode Island represent!
Olneyville New York System has great wieners (they'll correct you if you call them hot dogs!), and they sell their meat sauce online. It's worth a Wednesday, but it's also worth a trip if you ever find your way up in New England. :)

If you do make them, you need to have some coffee milk with them. It's only proper. ;)

WTH????!!!!!

Coffee-flavored syrup that you put in a glass of milk???? Crazy stuff, never heard of that! And with hot dogs, er... weiners? Seriously? I can't even imagine how the two flavors would go together. Wow.

Ha!
Back in elementary school and junior high, when we had a choice of milk flavors in the little half-pint cartons, it wasn't just between plain and chocolate; it was among plain, chocolate, and coffee. Coffee milk is a Rhode Island staple (and virtually unheard of anywhere else).

Think of a milk version of coffee ice cream, if that helps. :)

Well, I'll concede that you don't *need* to have them together, but it really isn't all that bad.

Oh, and malt vinegar and salt on the french fries (a more British thing, I think). I almost forgot about that one. ;)

(Always happy to propagate the RI gastronomic distress... er... I mean, local delicacies. :D)
 
Y'all are hilarious! Tonight for "Wiener Wednesday" we had hot dogs with a Chilean background. Apparently, that means diced tomatoes, mashed avocado, sauerkraut and mayonnaise. They were ok, but not great. Next week we plan to have Japanese-style hot dogs. :)

I ended up skipping out on trivia, so I did make Game Night with PunkRock. We played Betrayal at House on the Hill with another couple at the game store in town. I bought a booster deck for the game Smash Up!, and I ordered the base set online.

DarkKnight and I had some parallel computer time for a bit afterward, as I immersed myself on working on the family tree again through Ancestry.com. I paid for another month and started to tackle my dad's side of the family. Since we know next to nothing, and everyone has passed away, each little nugget of information is so very difficult to come by, and I treasure each bit.

I got some more summer fun scheduled and paid for today! DarkKnight and I are going camping mid July, and my friend had reserved us our cabin, so I paid her back for that this morning. I am looking forward to escaping to the lake for a few days! Plus, it won't just be the two of us - we are taking our daughter along on the excursion, so it should be a blast.

Prior to that trip though, PunkRock and I are heading to DC to see Imagine Dragons AND Metric. The tickets were almost a hundred bucks, so that sucks. BUT both bands are great, and I am totally psyched. I love Metric so much, and I sing along to Imagine Dragons all the time. I think the date for that is July 6. Whoo hoo!
 
Two more days to go on my period. God, I hate the emotional ups and downs this thing gives me every month. I think I handle it pretty well, because I can recognize and vocalize to others that I am out of sorts and feeling unreasonable feelings, but it still sucks. Any ideas how to keep on a more even keel though? I hate the up-down emotions.

One of my aunts emailed me today with a bunch of family information from my dad's side of the family. I am excited to get on ancestry.com today and start filling in some of the blanks.

I am so tired today - again, I am fairly certain this is do to my period. Plus it's crazy hot outside. Not that I've been outside - I am still in bed! I was supposed to shower an hour ago but I just want to sleep and fuck around on the Internet. I suppose I should get the showering done and then focus on paying some bills and ordering groceries. I am thinking about the whole family going out to dinner tonight but it is always so expensive! Even the hibachi buffet sets us back almost $100 with tip. There's a carnival in a town nearby, but again, that could add up quickly. Maybe we can pick a new board game to play and order pizza...
 
Ermergherd tired. I was up til like 11:30 last night, and then was awakened by my cat Gus nipping my arm at 4:22 am. At that point I panicked, thinking that PunkRock's alarm didn't go off, since he was snoring and his start time at work was 5 am. After I woke him up, he gave me a dirty look and huffed that he actually had to be at work at 5:30 and his alarm was set for 4:45. Sigh. Stupid cat.

So I have been awake since then. PunkRock left for work, and so did my son. DarkKnight came to see me a few minutes ago, as he is preparing to go brew beer today with his cousin in Chambersburg. Our daughter has decided to go along with him to see her cousins.

This means I am going to be alone, at home, all day with no car. I want to fall back asleep, but realistically I know I will be restless and unable to be calm. Ugh. I don't do alone well.
 
Red Dwarf
 
Re: Red Dwarf ... well what about it?
 
There was a post right below my last one, with a quote from Red Dwarf, Kevin. Not sure where it went - or who posted it. *shrugs* Maybe they were suggesting I should watch it, or that I should put myself into suspended animation until my hubbies come home. :) Anyway, I watched the first season but never continued. Now I am not sure when I could make time to see it again! I've been cracking out on Parenthood and just started up the 3rd season of Orange is the New Black with PunkRock, and he is still only on season 3 of Breaking Bad. DarkKnight and I are on season 3 of Glee, I think. Too much TV, not enough time!

I have been working hard on my ancestry stuff. My mom called this morning very upset about...all sorts of things. She's anxious and uncertain and it was before 8 am on Sunday. Ugh. I got her focused on our family tree and we ended the call more upbeat after a little more than an hour on the phone. I have three older half-siblings that no one has ever met, and I started searching for them. It's difficult. They were all born in Florida, had 18 year old moms who we don't have names for, and we are uncertain if the kids were given my dad's last name or not. We can't find records for them yet. My mom knows their first names and exact birthdays but we are guessing at the years they were born - it's a small window though. So far, no luck.
 
I can quote far more Red Dwarf script than any sane person should be able to, but I have no idea how it was apropos to Bluebird's blog. The reference was to an episode called "Camille" with the basic plot line of and references to Casablanca.
End of Nerdy Blog Highjack :eek:
 
Damn, you even knew the name of the episode! I can barely even name any X Files episodes ...
 
I wanted to share!
