Yes, I am an Oddball.

I shouldn't be this excited over a stupid phone but I am. I created a UPS account and requested that it be delivered on Friday when I work from home. That way I can set it up and get my current phone reset and ready to hand off to Ri. Then he can hand his phone off to Bina and we can retire her current phone which is in pretty sad shape at this point. I ordered new cases for every one today, they should be here Friday too.  I'm off to try and log into my work computer from home tonight, the past few times I've tried to work from home have been technical nightmares.  Wish me luck!

Because I just watched the entire 3rd season of Transparent in 2 days. They are one seriously fucked up family. I mean the dad being trans is the least of their problems. It's a good show, if you haven't seen it and you have access to Amazon, watch it. Trust me you'll feel better about your family after. But now that I've finished it I really should get my butt back on the treadmill. It's pretty amazing how much I do not want to do that though. I know I'm basically lazy but it's ridiculous how much I just want to go to bed, like right now. It's only 9 pm though, if I went to bed now I'd be up for the day (and very cranky) by 4 am. And Ri is going to be stopping by after he gets out of work at 10 and I probably won't see him again for the rest of the week so I'm going to stay up and hang up with him for a little while. I was right about the weekend, it involved running around like a nut, very little sex and a tiff (not exactly a fight) for g

Sorry about the week long absence, it's been busy. Not with anything in particular just with...stuff. Not even really interesting stuff. I mean we did a ton of errands, celebrated a wedding (my cousin) and a birthday (T's 14 now, wow!) but the rest of the time it's just work, housework, errands, pretending to exercise and thinking about cell phone plans and the iphone7.  Work has been soul crushing the past couple weeks. Banking is a soul crushing, ethics eating industry. If you want proof,  all you have to do is google Wells Fargo. When you do that, know that all banks use the same incentive plan structures. All of them, even if they say they don't, they do. They just word their programs differently. I say incentive but really its more than that, if you're on the front line you can be fired for not meeting your assigned sales goal. Even if your great at every other part of your job. So never mind the whole incentive/bonus thing, if all you want to do is keep you

 She was naked, over his knee, her legs pinned firmly between his. The top half of her body was laying on the bed.  Her left arm was trapped behind Jakes body and he had pinned her right hand to the small of her back when she had tried to cover herself mid spanking (she had received more than a few stinging smacks to her upper thighs as extra punishment after Jake pinned her hand but before he continued with her normal spanking.) She knew she deserved a spanking, she had been bratty on and off all day. She had been waiting for Jake to bend her over the couch for a couple swats and a stern "Cut it out!" but it never came. Instead he had waited until just before she normally went to bed to tell her that she was going to be punished for her bad attitude. She could tell from his stance that he expected her to argue. Looking back over everything she had said and done that day she would have wanted to spank him if the roles were reversed so she simply murmured "Yes, sir."

Another weekend is coming to an end. Days go by so fast lately and they are all full of what seems like nothing. Dropping off and picking up the step kids & their friends, shopping, cooking. Blah. Ri is working all week, he came by last night and hung out for a bit but I won't see him again until Friday :-( I miss my kid. Between his work and my work and his volunteering and his own bird (who knew parrots needed so much friggin attention) I never see him and it's making me sad. At the same time though, I'm glad that he's building his own happy little life. That's the goal right? Raise a happy, successful adult. Sigh... My cousin is getting married next weekend, I said I'd go to the wedding. I wish I hadn't, I hate weddings and generally decline invitations. I send a gift and move on. I said I'd go to this one because my parents guilted me into it. We have a very small extended family and my cousin is a motherless only child (her mother died a lit

We had another busy weekend, which is mostly good. I know I should be thankful to be busy, I generally don't fare well when I'm not bored by choice. This weekend though, I would have liked to have been bored more. Especially on Saturday, I'm not sure why. Last week wasn't horrible, but I spent the day Friday looking forward to the evening alone. P&H usually take the girls to a place called Social Sparks, then go to dinner together. I usually either hang out at home (in blissful quiet) to blog or watch a movie, or go out with my friend K. Friday I was looking forward to working on a sexy blog but H made plans to meet for dinner with one of her friends after she dropped the girls off. So P decided to hang out with me, which is always fun but not always productive in the way I want to be. We Shopkicked, went to Target and grabbed some Chinese food for dinner. It was after 9 when we got home to put away the groceries and other stuff we bought. Then Ri came to visit for
