OOOPS HNT

Haiku

I have done this off and on... part of my continuing series of dirty Haikus...

Maybe someday I will work my way up to dirty sonnets.. but for the moment this is much easier...

So sweet as I lick
You clean; fore and aft, nipple, mouth
Pleasure for you, me

HNT--16 HAPPY BIRTHDAY

What a lovely opportunity to play with my new camera!

Happy Birthday Half-Nekkid Thursday and thanks Os!

Oh and here is my first HNT posting

Congratulate Me

Since apparently, I, according to the CDC am pre-pregnant.

That is right. Just a walking womb.

And it is not just me. Any female between menarche and menopause is now officially just a woman waiting to bear a child. And the federal government feels that is vested in making sure you do a GOOD job at it.

There I was... just minding my business, checking my email this afternoon when I came across this article in Salon. I am a sucker for a good headline, but this one really caught my eye, Holy "Handmaid's Tale," Batman!, by Rebecca Traister points out the glaringly obvious problems with the CDC's new Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report entitled, Recommendations to Improve Preconception Health and Healthcare -- United States. This report was described in the Washington Post article, Forever Pregnant and states that:

New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.

Charming.... I don't need to be healthy for my own happiness and well-being. I need to stay healthy for a child I may or may not want. That is crazy enough of a concept for me to deal with, but this information is supposed to also go to our DAUGHTERS.

Since the average age of menarche (at least per Wikipedia) is 12-13, that is quite a cold shower on a young girl. Nothing like walking into your pediatrician's office which is decorated with animals, dolls and Doctor Seuss books and be told that you need to concentrate on the well being of your future progeny...

Hopefully, that word will been covered in 5th grade vocab.



Because that is what we are talking about. 6th and 7th grade girls being told to safeguard the future of the species. That should be a fun conversation, I hope Dr. Julie Gerberding (For whom I generally have had the greatest respect) would like to give a whirl. Frankly, I hope she can handle the eye rolling and being told that she is gross. That is my experience with that particular age bracket. I would rather my 6th grader concentrate on getting A's in Social Studies and Math... I guess the government knows best though.

And what information do we give to 6th and 7th grade boys? Study hard, lay off the video games and don't worry, kiddo, getting a boner during study hall is normal... Wear your shirt out side your pants and carry your books in front of your crotch? That seems a fair exchange of data for the sexes, doesn't it?

What a fucking nightmare.

And what about us? Isn't the health of the mother or future mother's count for something other than providing optimal gestation? And isn't it a doctor's job to talk to us about improving our health anyway? And what if we woman don't follow these guidelines? Should we be considered legally or morally culpable for any negative outcomes?

Oh and a really stupid point. All female infants were born with all the eggs that they are EVER going to have. Shouldn't we start the conversation with our toddlers? Or better yet, why not segregate all the pre-menopausal females out of the population. Let's make sure they receive optimal nutrition and are protected from any "negative" environments that might cause damage to their all important gonads or otherwise decrease the odds of prime reproduction.

Between the anti-choice position of the government, the anti-birth control stance of many members of the religious right and the Catholic church and now the CDC trying to maximize women's health to improve the vessel I am beginning to feel less like an independant citizen of the United States of America and more like resource for the Father Land.

That doesn't sound too creepy, does it?

Music and Mood

I have decided that I can't read anything else depressing this weekend. Checking my favorite sites online and finding a headline on the Huffington Post,

NY Times: Cheney Urged NSA To Intercept Purely Domestic Calls And Emails Without Warrants After 9/11...

Is more than my little heart can take after a lousy week. I need therapy.... Music therapy.

So here I am, on Rhapsody again... trying to de-wallow. I need bubbly gummy music to bring my mood back to simple insane instead of the homicidal rage I had going the latter part of the week. I am feeling hopeful that is possible. I was kissed this morning by my husband. And he held me. That hasn't happened in so long. Sadly, I am naturally suspicious of changes in behavior... so I really need to music to perk me up.

I have decided to search entirely under the category of Rock/Pop. That is right. I am listening to musical shit through Bose Headphones. I know.. it is just wrong. But tough luck.

Now all I need is an insanely hot bubble bath, a romance novel with exceptionally dirty sex, bonbons and ice cold champagne. Well, I can handle to book part anyway. If I can't actually have sex myself, I might as well read about it.

"You put the boom boom into my heart"? Timeless isn't it? Anyone reading this will be completely ashamed of me for adding this '80s classic onto my bubble gum list. I will give you a hint. It is from Rhapsody's Dance Pop subgenre. I find the names of the subgenres hysterical. Nothing like opening Teen Idols and find a picture of Paul Anka. Paul Anka? Now I know that he was back in the day, but the picture that they use of him is recent.

Ahhh, yes, this is the life. Of course, I can't avoid being bitched at. Apparently my singing is interfering with the watching of a very serious Jimmy Neutron episode. God, I hate that show. I need more Kim Possible and Drake and Josh... assuming that Drake gets better from his car crash. And what happens when Josh finally gets tall and loses the baby fat. He is going to be hot. Whew... just IMDb'd him... he is legal... young, but legal.

Hmmmm What to make of all this news

It seems like a bad news fest for gals like me...

Could my problem be that I am a sexual Amazon? Perhaps I will use that as my justification for complete horniness the weekend. Will it ever end?

HNT-15

Very late posting today since I spent time packing up the house for the big rehab that may or may not start soon. This is driving me crazy!

Quiet bitterness

Frankly, I feel like I have been falling into a pit for a while and for while I have been looking for a little comfort. None is coming. Hell, I have to beg to get to have sex.. and worse, I get rejected more often than not. I feel like I live completely at the will of the decisions and whims of others. I can't remember the last time someone out of their way just for me.

So I have decided to wallow in it this afternoon... I decided it needed a soundtrack and put this together on my Rhapsody account... You may not agree with my choices but they are songs that are basically fitting my mood.

I saw this over at The Wandering Hubby...

Aquarius You are very random, changing moods everyday. You are very genuine, and you like to do a lot sexually. When you find something that you like, you like it a lot and want your lover to like it too. Ideally you like to find a partner who is as into sex as you are. You want a lover who is just as independent as you are and you like an equal amount of give and take in the sack. Sex matches: Aries, Gemini, Libra Take this quiz at QuizUniverse.com

I guess that is my problem... The Porn King is a Virgo...

N

Saw this at and Osbasso asked to play... Here are my 10 things that start with N and why...

Negroponte: He was listed as one of the reasons that Porter Goss might have resigned today. I admit that I have been some what obsessed with this as some of the other reasons might have been MUCH more salacious.. i.e. Hookergate.

Newman!: Jerry Seinfeld nemesis... lot of people think that the Porn King looks like him. I don't see it, but then I have known him from a pre-Seinfeld time period.

Naturalism: Something that I like to practice in the privacy of a 10 square foot space of my own back yard. When the kids aren't around to yell, "Mom!! Put your shirt on!" so all the neighbors can hear.

Nana: What my girls call my grandmother, who will be 99 this year.

Nutella: My daughter's favorite filling for crepes... She is of course wrong.. the best thing is butter, sugar and Grand Marnier... but she is only 9, so hopefully she will learn

Netherlands: The last vacation I took with PK.. He was kind of a stick in the mud and wouldn't let me do any of the touristy things because I might get into trouble in the red light district and then got his pocket picked in the hotel bar.... go figure.

Napoli: As in Bill Napoli, state senator from North Dakota who believes that only sodomized religious virgins are deserving of the right to terminate a pregancy on the grounds that they might go insane having already suffered a "fate worse then death"....

NBA: I can stop watching for the season as the Bulls are out of it...

Niagara: The name of the county that I grew up in. Not the biggest city, Niagara Falls, but the County seat, Lockport. Also the name of an escarpment which is a geological formation that forms ridge... The Niagara Escarpment runs the (sparkling waters of ) Genessee River through the county, causes the Falls, through Western Ontario then through the middle of Lake Superior and the Northern part of Lake Michigan to form the back bone of Door County, Wisconsin's peninsula

oh, and I guess this leads me to my last N word...

Nerd: Clearly I am a full blooded one. Hopefully, Os you will forgive me for this as I used to play the trombone too... so I guess I can't be too hopeless.

HNT - 14

The sad aftermath to any good beach vacation for me... peeling skin and bug bites. Why is that no one else gets bitten, but I am eaten alive?
