Back At It Again

I realize that it has been some time since my last entry.  The holiday season was crazy and busy and as much as I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, I am glad we are done!  I am sad to say that I didn't see Denise once over Christmas break. In fact, the last time I saw her was when we met Allison to watch the final (and best IMO) Twilight movie.  So, I am going through a bit of BFF withdrawal!  But it doesn't mean I don't have something to blog about.  As I said, we had our annual girls day out in December.   It's unfortunate that it is only annual-Denise and I can thank our needy husbands for that.  There was once a time when I craved his attention and needed him to want me to be around ALL the time.  Oh to be young, immature and have low self esteem again...  LOL! I have to say that although I love my husband, I am so glad I don't need his approval to love myself anymore.  I am glad he loves me, but to be honest, I think he respects me more now that I respect myself!  Girls of all ages, that commercial was free!  LOVE YOURSELVES!!  Anyways, back to our girls day out.  Denise and I made plans to meet Allison in the nearby town where we could watch Breaking Dawn 2 together and enjoy our day.  We started the girls day at Hobby Lobby.  As a young girl, I hated when my mom wanted to go into these types of stores.  I was bored out of my mind.  Now, it's like a fat kid walking into a candy store and if the items aren't already 50% off, you have the choice of using a 40% off coupon on them (thank God I don't know of a candy store that does this)!  I LOVE this store.  Multiply that love times 3 women, and we were lucky we walked out of there with any money left and on time to get to the movie theater!   We made it to the theater in time to watch the credits.  Denise and I were giggling like a couple of school girls.  Allison has always been known as a cynic, pessimist, and at times, a Debbie Downer.  Denise and I had made a pact before hand that we would not let her bring our 10 out of 10 on the joy scale down to a 3, like she has in the past.  I love her dearly, but let's face it, she is much more mature that Denise and I!  The opening credits started and Denise and I started shrieking, much to Allison's embarrassment.  Once the actual movie started, we were suddenly quieter than we had ever been.  Fun fact, most people can only go without blinking for about 17 seconds.  Go ahead, give it a shot..  I will be still be here when you try it and then have to blink 10-12 times rapidly to moisturize your eyes................ And we are back.  Was I right?  My point in this is that BD2 is 115 minutes long.  Here is my theory, if we would have timed it, all three of us would currently hold the record in the Guinness Book of World Records for amount of time going without blinking.  That's how into BD2 we were.  It was amazing!  If you aren't a Twihard, then I don't expect you to understand, but if you are, you know exactly what I am talking about!  And I won't go into specifics, as I am not a spoiler, but when the twist at the end occurred, all 3 of us gasped in response!  Then we giggled b/c we realized how silly that was!  Once the movie was over, we headed outside and took pictures next to the movie poster.  Our immaturity had hit an all time high (or low depending on how you look at it).  We have pictures (no I am not posting them!) of us pointing at Edward, kissing Edward, and if we wouldn't have been in public, we may have had some dirtier pictures but getting arresting for public lewdness wasn't on my to do list.  Once we had completed our own vogue experience, I made a request to go to a store.  And not just any store, but a "naughty store."  Denise knew what I wanted.  Oh yea... She knew exactly what I wanted...  Oh wait, that sounded really bad.  Get any thoughts of Denise and I out of your heads if your mind is in the gutter!  She did know what I wanted to get though because I had already told her!  That is part of the nature of our relationship.  We talk about many things and our love life is one of them.  We tell each other things that we would be totally embarrassed to tell anyone else.  We know things about each other, and each other's husbands that would make a sailor blush!  We have always been pretty open with each other, but after we both read our new favorite book, Fifty Shades of Grey, we opened up to each other a lot more!  Yes nay sayers. We love this book!  We have both come to fully realize that we both have a little freak in us and our husbands can think Christian and Ana for that!  I am telling you, if you are married and need to give your life in the bedroom a boost, read this book!  I know a lot of people say that it wasn't well written or it was horrible literature, but I am telling you right now, I wasn't reading it for the literature!  It was a fun read! I read it on my Nook (and btw-when reading it on my Nook, I called it my Nookie-hehe) and there were a few times my eyes crossed and then rolled back into my head!  Wow!  Toe curling fun!  Anyways, if you have read the book, then you should remember several scenes with....clears my throat....silver balls.  Ben wah balls.....  I wanted them!  So after I told Allison (who was very supportive as she owns a vibrator), we headed over to a place called Intimate Expressions.  This place is basically a classy lingerie store with...umm... I guess you could call it a "toy room" upstairs.  I had only been to a place that sold these types of toys once and it was trashy!  This place really was upscale.  They even had a video showing how to use some of the products (so that's how a swing is used....).  We were looking at all of the different toys.  Wow.  Talk about blowing my mind!  And speaking of blowing, I had no idea you could use so many different items to assist with that.  Vibrators that looked like lipstick, whips, and an entire table with toys dedicated to our Fifty.  Some of them I really wanted to try, some scared the living hell out of me!  I can't imagine bringing home a strap on and my husband would have immediately filed for divorce if I had.  I asked Allison what she would have thought if I would have been there to purchase that and she said "nothing.  Wouldn't have been a big deal.."  I laughed and said, "you obviously don't remember Woody (my husband, not a toy) very well!"  Denise was shocked that I even asked her that same question!  That's because she is my BFF and girlfriend knows ain't none of that going down at my pad...ummm hmmmm.... I just had total attitude while typing that.  Allison also decided to get a toy, kind of lame if you ask me.  She bought pink, fuzzy handcuffs.  I much prefer the romanticism of being tied up with a scarf or the kinkiness of cable ties (oh Christian...where fore art thou when I need you to possess my dear spouses mind).  But, to each their own.  Denise on the other hand bought something that inspired me!  It was a soft plastic gelatin ring with small vibrators on it.  What, do you ask, do you do with such an item?  Well, good lady (and some good men), you apply that to your husbands member as he is about to mount you like the stud he is!  haha!!  I hate saying this, because it is a little 1990's, but Denise-YOU GO GIRL!  And BTW- I have since been told that her husband like it very much..  And so did Denise!  I did find the silver balls I was looking for and that, my good friend, in an entire other entry for an entire different blog!!!
