Bon Voyage

Hi!  Where have you been?  What have you been up to?  What's new and exciting in your neck of the woods?

Enough about you.  Let's talk about me.  Ahem.  Guess who made the Dean's List, is now officially a college senior and applied for graduation with a mere 19 hours shy of her B.A. in English?   Yeah, that girl.

That same girl?  The papers have been signed and filed making her an official divorcee.   She managed to come through relatively unscathed. 

I know I promised to surface about a month ago, but this is truly the first opportunity I've had to show you some love.  We've been enjoying lazy afternoons at the pool, breezy summer concerts in the park and trips to the zoo. 

Four yard sales, serious hocking of my household goods on craig's list and somewhere around 400 ebay auctions later,  we've managed to scrape together the funds for the most awesome eleven day road trip ever.  We head out this weekend for Cali with stop overs in Colorado and Wyoming.   Camping all along the way with playdates planned here and here.  2100+ miles later, and we'll be in Santa Cruz playing on the beach and eating entirely too much food on a stick.  I can't wait. 

So, yes.  I am a tease.  I'm back but I'm taking off again.  See you in two weeks with lots of pictures and a play by play of our adventures on the road.  Until then, xoxo.

Better Late Than Never

Love at first sight....yes it was.  The first time I visited this hottie's corner of the universe, she had me snorting iced tea outta my nose and wiping away tears of full on laugh out loud.  As you can tell, she's gorgeous.  Wickedly funny and hella-sexy, she is.  She loves her some cotton candy, White Stripes and I betcha she could confirm or deny the accuracy of this.

I'll never forget our first date.  We hooked up at one of those Genuine affairs where she showed up with some party games that included some very creative uses for lip gloss and Twizzlers.  I fell hard and fast.  We flirted like crazy, raising our fair share of eyebrows and um, er, ahem, other stuff and ended up sneaking away from the crowd, slipping out the back door, and.....

Thus far, I've been good about merely giving hints as to the Show Us Some Skin featured hottie's identity, but I've included her beautiful face with this entry as I don't think too many people would recognize her in that she doesn't post too many photos of herself on her blog.  I'm sure you'll share my sentiment that it's a damn shame too.

No News Is Good News

It's all good. 

Enough about me.

Let's talk about her:

Yowza. 

Yes, the much anticipated Show Us Some Skin is being officially revived.   Sorry it took me so long, but you should know by now that I do love a good tease. 

This hottie boasts sleepovers with Sting and has been nose to nose with one Mr Paul McCartney.  While naming her site of the day, Michele gushed, "she's spirited, engaging, creative, bright and oh-so-hip." 

Ahhh, hell.  I could go on and on but do I really need to when she's got those legs?? 

UPDATE:  The fabulous Grace is indeed in the know.  The beautiful and modest Panthergirl has requested that you not make mention of her submission for  Show Us Some Skin over at her place, but feel free to gush all you want around here.  Oh, and soon after I composed this entry, Michele named The Dog's Breakfast a repeat site of the day:  She  is bright, engaging, wonderfully fascinating, and fascinatingly wonderful. 

No doubt.

 

Happy, Happy Christmas!

Lil lu in her Christmas finery

Well, hello there! 

Oh, how I've missed all my blogging buddies.  Please know that you've never been far from my thoughts--I've just been one busy and happily distracted gal.  I'm sorry I dropped the ball on Show Us Some Skin but I promise we will pick up where we left off and ring in the New Year with a string of blogging hotties.

The girls and I had a truly wonderful Christmas surrounded by family and friends.   I found myself counting my blessings once again while basking in the glow of my girl's smiles as they shared their holiday with both mom and dad and wishing that all divorced couples could find the kind of peace and gentle transition that our family has managed to achieve.  Thank you to all my friends near and far who made our Christmas a little more special with your thoughtful, sweet gifts and sentiments.   

I walked away from the Fall semster with two A's and three B's.  I've still got two more glorious weeks of vacation before starting back up.  WooHoo!  What else?  Oh,   I've been nursing a wicked case of laryngitis for going on a week now.  Course, the girls are enjoying the fact that mom can't yell at them and that I can barely manage a whisper.  When I do manage to croak something out, it sounds like my best Stevie Nicks impersonation.  Waayyy hot. 

Home Sweet Home

A beaming Jordan with her perfectly scrumptious gingerbread house creation.

Baby, it's cold outside.  But here, in our little cottage, it's cozy and warm.  With our tree twinkling away in the corner, How The Grinch Stole Christmas in the VCR (yeah, we still use one of those) and two to four inches blanketing the front yard, it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.   

Yesterday marked the last day of classes for the semester.  WoofreakinHoo!  As luck would have it, I've got two finals on Monday, a take home final (also due on Monday) in the form of a six page essay on Great Expectations , and a substantial revision of my short story to be completed no later than Wednesday evening.  But after that?  I'm free for an entire month and I plan to enjoy each and every wonderfully relaxing moment of it.

You know what?  It feels really, really good to be home.   After spending the whole of this past year getting more and more lost, compromising what mattered to me and allowing my personal happiness to be nothing short of second best, it's so nice to have found my way back. 

Lick It Up

Look who strolled in and politely (because no doubt he is chivalrous) helped Ms Monty down from her pedestal.  Brian, all sticky and sweet, scores big time taking home the Sex Flashcards ( I have a sneaky suspicion that he doesn't really need these) and the title of Most Loaded.  Congrats, Brian!  Please send me your snail mail addy so I can stalk you in the manner that I'm accustomed to get your goody to you. 

Secret Identities Revealed:

Brian aka Even Now....sigh.  Brian, Brian, Brian....was it really necessary for you to reveal that you have a sexy voice?  What are you trying to do to me over here??

Cam aka HappyGoLucky-o -- Damn, Cam, you are easy.  ; )  Well you were this time around, anyway.  And yes, you are absolutely correct that the category of 'needing more sex' should fall under No-Brainers. 

Chuck aka AdjunctionJunction  ??

Hillbilly Mom aka Bamboozled Nice, warm sausage gravy  Wow.  I'm speechless....and thrilled to have a new playmate!

Jim aka Beck 

lu aka Guesstimate

Michelle aka New Girl  (Hey, thanks for coming out and playing with us!  Gorgeous photos and beautiful words over at your place)

Mike aka Mr Darling??  I'm thrilled to find that Ms Monty is busily corrupting you. 

Monty aka Flower Child -- That dooce beyotch wouldn't have anything on me.   No doubt, baby.

Mystery Player One aka Beauty (shame on you--not to worry.  You may still redeem yourself by revealing your blog URL and providing an excellent explanation as to why you dropped out mid-game.) 

And we're off to Loaded Questions VII.  Most of you know the drill by now, but I am thrilled that we have scored some virgins for the last few rounds and I'm hoping that we can continue to seduce even more innocents into playing with us.  *Newbies, just be sure to read the fine print!!  Missing URL's make this confusing.*  So in anticipation of such:

Start out by reading the intriguing questions and  then post your titillating responses, remembering to sign in with an anonymous and NON GENDER specific nickname.  The deadline to play will be Friday, December 16th at midnight (CST).  Lick that honey from your fingers before you email me at skiplu@gmail.com  on Saturday, December 17th(again, by midnight CST)  to notify me  that you have posted your answers and that you are partying with us.  Don't fill me in before then as I want to play too!  I will in turn email you when I have posted the list of participating bloggers and the Q&A.

I'm especially curious as to :

Have you been a good girl/boy this year?

Nice Gams!

And who is this hottie with the yumalicious legs?

Besides having an affinity for white-out...... 

I can tell you that she gives hella-good IM--she's the kind of friend who really, really means it when she says "call me anytime"..... she's got the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met. 

I'm trying my damndest to test her love for me by breaking every punctuation and grammar rule I can wrap myself around. 

She's warm, witty and wise.  She tells it like it is and doesn't apologize for it.  She's been Michele's site of the day twice over and there is no mistaking why that is. 

She's got a deliciously fragrant (and pretty too) crotch, she prefers her balls in pairs and she's never one to pass up a good Lay.   

As promised, Miss Sexy Gams will be the first in a series of four hotties-- one featured for every week of  December.  Still haven't sent in your submission for Show Us Some Skin? 

Sigh and sigh. *impatiently drumming fingers*

Everything Old Is New Again

Where does this tenderness come from?
These are not the- first curls I
have stroked slowly- and lips I
have known are- darker than yours

as stars rise often and go out again
(where does this tenderness come from?)
so many eyes have risen and died out
in front of these eyes of mine.

and yet no such song have
I heard in the darkness of night before,
(where does this tenderness come from?):
here, on the ribs of the singer.

Where does this tenderness come from?
And what shall I do with it, young
sly singer, just passing by?
Your lashes are- longer than anyone's. ~Marina Tsvetaeva

Loaded Questions VI

So, who's ready to beat the pants off of Ms Monty? Oh, wait, she is the pantless blogger so that doesn't quite work, does it? Seems we have some mystery players (again!) this go around and so we will just have to work around that little snag. If you are one of the mystery players (you played, but your blog addy/persona is missing from the list of the cool kids), come out, come out and drop me an email to let me know you participated along with an URL to your fabulous blog. The winner of round six scores Knock Knock's Sex Flashcards.... the perfect gift for nymphomaniacs and born-again virgins alike!

Here we go:

Brian

Cam

Chuck

Hillbilly Mom

Jim

Keb (?) You did play, right??       Well, dammit, Keb's out this time...which means:

Scantily Clad & Getting Loaded

If you haven't already sent me a little sumpin sumpin for Show Us Some Skin, what are you waiting for?  I'm not gonna name any names here, you know who you are--you, you with your empty promises. You tease. 

The submissions thus far .....OH. MY.   

You know, the holidays are about love.  And I'm all about the love.  I've decided we need to profile one hottie for every week in December.  Oh, and January is bitterly cold and gray (at least in my neck of the woods), so why don't we do the same for that month.  I'm pretty sure the stuff I have to share will warm you right up.

And hey!  No doubt the Kinkos' staff would be enthusiastic about putting together a sexy bloggers calendar for us.... we are only two submissions shy.  ; )

......................................................................................

Loaded Questions VI is on and we've got nine ten players with sexy smiles (complete with gold plated front teeth) and equally sexy voices who are great in bed playing this round.  Won't you come out and play with us?? 

Start out by reading the intriguing questions and  then post your titillating responses, remembering to sign in with an anonymous and NON GENDER specific nickname.  The deadline to play will be Friday, November 25th at midnight (CST).  Step away from the leftover turkey and lick that whippped cream off your fingers before you email me at skiplu@gmail.com  on Saturday, November 26th (again, by midnight CST)  to notify me  that you have posted your answers and that you are partying with us.  Don't fill me in before then as I want to play too!  I will in turn email you when I have posted the list of participating bloggers and the Q&A.   Come on, live a little.

Lastly, this was our morning commute: Beef.  It's not for dinner.

Jordan:  Mom, what's for dinner?  (um, it's freakin 7:30 in the morning, mind you)

Me:  Sorry, I haven't got that far

Jordan:  I want beef

*Kaleigh and I look at each with raised eyebrows*

Me:  You know, when we first stopped eating red meat, I would occasionally think 'oh, a hamburger would be really good right now', but now just the thought of the meat cooking makes me want to hurl

Kaleigh:  Yeah, I don't want to eat anything with the name angus in front of it

Me:  *snorting water out my nose* yeah, sounds too much like anus

Jordan:  what's an anus?

K: * ignoring Jordan* something between anus and fungus

Me:  Pulling up to K's school, as she grabs her lunch box and steps out of the car, I say, "yes, we must do something about your anal fungus"

K:  Nice mom. 

Me:  No problem, have a great day!  *blows her a kiss*

Jordan:  So, mom, what is for dinner?
