Snippet of writing part two

And now for the naughty part of this chapter.  hee hee.  Lets see, where did we leave Cat, Joe & Chris.  Ah yes, here they are…

“Alright gentlemen, here’s the challenge.  Whoever can catch me first gets me first.  And if you catch me before I get to the building, you get a blow job and I do so love blow jobs.”

And as quick as spit I turned and ran through the parking lot to the sidewalk.  I heard generous cursing behind me and then nothing but the sound of feet.  They needed their air for running.

I ran daily on the treadmill and had loved being chased since I was a girl.  So I knew I was up to this.  The test was were they?  I ran straight diagonally through the street, occasionally looking back to check traffic.  Joe was ahead of Chris and gaining on me and the thought of him catching me made my sex burn with anticipation.  This was my favorite type of foreplay.

Cat’s Suite was in sight and I was feet from touching the front door when I felt a body crush into mine and press me to the glass hard.  It eased off enough to whirl me around and Joe’s head came down in a crushing kiss as he pressed me again into the glass door.  Desire surged through me as his lips devoured mine.  He pressed his length against me and I raised my arms around his neck to rub more of my body along his.

I heard Chris come up panting beside us.  He barely managed a, “Shit girl.”

Joe released me for the sheer need of air because we were all breathing hard.  I turned in Joe’s arms to look at Chris. He was bent over trying to get his wind back. With a hand on Joe’s arm for balance I placed my shoes back.

Chris looked up at me and I grinned at him and said, “Can’t neglect the cardio, man.”

Joe choked a laugh as he reached over to open the door for me.  Chris followed me in but just as I was waiving to Dan who worked the 3-11 shift, Chris threw me over his shoulder and stomped to the elevator.  With a yelp in surprise I felt myself get hotter with desire over his display of strength, my aphrodisiac.

When the elevator doors closed on the three of us Chris said, “What floor?”

I handed my bag to Joe who took out the key card and pressed the floor button.  Chris had one hand firmly on one thigh and had started caressing up the other.  I was luxuriating in the sensation making small moaning sounds.

“Thigh highs,” he said to Joe.

“Of course,” Joe responded.  “Cat’s all class.  Although I’m starting to wonder who it is you’ve got on your shoulder.”

“Wildcat?” I giggled as the doors opened and Joe led us to the Suite.  A quick key card slide and we were in.  Chris walked to the first of the two queen beds and dumped me on it.  He stood there for a moment staring at me as I lay sprawled on the bed.  With a smile I rolled off and walked to the bathroom.

“Look your fill gentlemen but stay dressed.  I’m going to change, since in this mood I’m liable to beg you to rip my clothes off me.  It might not be so easy to replace such a good First Friday dress.”

I went into the bathroom and carefully stripped, leaving on the hose and undergarments.  After quickly doing a little business I exited the bathroom.  Chris and Joe were wandering around looking at the fabled Cat’s Suite but stopped when they saw me.  I walked over to Chris and from across the room Joe moved to stand near me.  I reached for the bottom of Chris’ T-shirt and began pushing it up his chest.  He finished removing the shirt himself as my hands played over his torso.

Joe was behind me running his palms along my sides and hips.  “The reality exceeds the fantasy,” he said with just a little awe in his voice.  The plus and minus of men over boys is most do not wait on permission or instruction to do something they want.

Chris’s chest was completely bare of hair and smooth to the touch and I indulged my fingers in the touching.  “You can undress or not until your turn,” I whispered and placed small kisses from his nipple to nipple, “but leave the shirt off.”  His growled spiked my desire but I turned around to Joe.

I ran my fingers, again, though Joe’s hair. “I like your new look.  Sorry if I haven’t noticed before.”

I pulled on his shirt until and he took over pulling it off.  I ran my hands along his muscled chest and let my fingers enjoy the soft furred feel of the small patch of hair there.  I gently pushed until he moved back and I followed.  When we were closer to the bed I let my hands slide down his abs to his pants.  I undid the belt, the button, the zipper and removed the pants in a technique I now teach all my students with my hands sliding down his bare ass in a caress, thumbs removing the clothing.

As I drew the pants down I crouched beside him.  His erection stood out and waved at me.  He stepped out of his pants and I ran my hands along the length of his cock.  I was engrossed in indulging in the feel of him.  I wasn’t sure how long I caressed him until he growled, “Enough, woman” and reached down to lift me up by my arms.

I pressed my body against his and said, “But, your beautiful, Joe.”

“Gee, you know just what to say to a man.”

He chucked as he said it and I grinned at him.

“Oh I do.  You say, fuck me, please, hard and wild.”

Joe’s smile got larger.  Without taking his eyes off me and said, “Chris, would you do the honors of stripping the lovely Cat?”

I heard Chris move up behind me and say, “Don’t I have the best boss.”

He unsnapped the bra and pushed the straps down my arms to where they hit Joe’s hands.  Joe finished the action and the bra was tossed on the floor.  I watched Joe’s eyes feast on my breasts and I ached to have his mouth there.  My nipples were tight hard points and a whimper escaped when I felt Chris’s hands pull on my panties and then rip them to shreds and off me.

Joe had his hand on my breast and I clung to him and pressed my sex against his engorged cock.  I felt a hard slap on my ass and I gasped as Joe took that moment to pinch my nipple.  I shuddered with a tiny orgasm and barely heard Chris.

He’d leaned down to growl in my ear, “I know just how I’m going to take you.”

“Me first,” Joe said and with me in his arms he quickly turned us around to land on the bed.

I was pinned underneath him.  He kissed me thoroughly, long and deep and then moved down to take my breasts into his mouth.  I arched and cried out at the sensation from his lips and tongue.  His hand moved to place a finger down my sex.  When he realized how ready I was he pulled away and rose over me.  I drew my legs around his hips as he positioned himself at my slick entrance.

His head tilted down to briefly kiss me.  With his lips still inches from mine he said, “Hard and wild.”

“Yes,” I whispered and then screamed the word as he plunged his full length inside.  He drove into me with fast strong strokes and the word ‘yes’ became my entire vocabulary.  I went over the edge into orgasm quickly and then could only whimper through the mini-orgasms as Joe pumped me for I didn’t know how long until he reached his own release.

He collapsed on top of me and we lay there for what seemed a blissful eternity but was probably only a few moments.  Eventually he slowly slipped out.  Running my hands along his back I moved him off enough to run my fingers through his hair and along his face.  I kissed his lips lightly and heard him groan.

“I can die now.  As a matter of fact, I have died and gone to heaven.  I know I’m dead because I cannot move.”

I laughed softly and called out, “Chris, your boss is hogging your turn and claiming I killed him.”

Chris chuckled as he walked from the direction of the kitchen to the bed.  He rolled Joe off me with one big pull of his hands.

“Come on, old man, time to share.”

A snippet of my writing

This is one of my favorite scenes from my novel.  But only Part One, cuz its obviously way too long to read in one load.. which is my whole problem with my book.. its too long!  lol  Part Two will come later and be much dirtier!  Let me know if you like it. 🙂

I had been playing Cat and teaching the class for almost four years when one First Friday at Blake’s by ten P.M. I had to admit I wasn’t going to have a student.   The system had been running smoothly for so long I was bemused at the possibility of having a month off.  M.O.S.A.’s membership had grown incredibly since that first meeting and the annual dues easily paid expenses.

Michelle handled the books and Rosalind handled enrollment.  She did an incredible job coordinating referrals from students and members alike.  She juggled the boys at the University with the local ones away for University and limited it to a number I could handle.

Surprisingly it was Jennifer and Lindsey who handled new membership.  It was by invitation only with the members choosing to keep quiet the purpose of M.O.S.A..  Jennifer supplied the enthusiasm for the concept and Lindsey the conviction this was a mother’s responsibility.  The original members had accepted my anonymity and never pressed for a real name.  They had even sprung for Cat to have her own transportation which they housed in an apartment complex Ruth owned.  It was rumored many a former student had spent hours hanging around the place hoping to catch Cat ‘at home’.

So it seemed impossible no student would show up.  When Julio relieved Chris at the door of the club for his break Chris shook his head at me on his way to the back.  I was wondering just how long I was supposed to wait so I sent Rosalind a quick text.  She called me back almost immediately.  She’ll read a text message if she has to but if she has something to say she’ll call.

“I’m so sorry, Cat,” Rosalind said with her usual grace and style.  “Jessica’s wedding has been taking all my time.  I meant to call you and tell you the one student we’d lined up had a family emergency and left town.”

“Ros, the room is all prepped so I don’t think they will be giving us a refund on it.”

“Well then get some actual sleep in it this time.  M.O.S.A. can well afford it and God knows you deserve it.”

“Alright, then I guess I’ll call it an early evening.”

I was about to say goodbye when Rosalind added, “Are you sure you won’t come to the wedding?”

“No matter how Jessica feels about Gregory being one of Cat’s boys, she is not going to want Cat at her wedding, Rosalind.  How would I possibly be able to pull off the mystique of Cat and NOT upstage the bride?”

Rosalind laughed.   I was thankful everyone took my refusals so well, but frankly it baffled me why the girlfriends and spouses wanted so much to meet me.  I  may have taught their young men about women and how to please them, but you’d think more women would be jealous by that!

I put the phone back in my case as Chris came over and sat down in the empty stool next to me.  I looked at him and he smiled.

“No students tonight?” he asked as Joe served him water.  Joe leaned his arm on the bar and watched me also.

“Apparently there was a cancellation.”

I could only grin at both men.  Their intent was very, very obvious.  Chris had never sat next to me on his break.  Of course I was usually with students so any space next to me was always occupied.  But in all the years of coming to Blake’s I had never seen him so much as glance at a female.  And here he was devouring me with his eyes.

Chris was the epitome of a bouncer/doorman.  He wore a tight t-shirt to emphasize the muscle he worked hard to maintain.  It helped him look threatening.  He kept his hair buzzed to a heavy five o’clock shadow on his head and let his face match.  He looked darkly Hispanic, dangerous and handsome, with surprisingly blue eyes.

I turned to Joe and saw what the man had been offering for years clear on his face.  Then I realized Joe’s physique had steadily gotten sexier in the last four years.  I’d assumed he was just wearing tighter shirts but he must have been purposefully building his upper body and I’d been too wrapped up in teaching to notice.  His hair, when I had first met him, had been cut short to hide the generous grey but he’d let it grow out.  Now it was just long enough on top to pull off the tousled look he was sporting well.  It was intriguing to see the white and grey and blond blend.

Leaning up and over I reached and ran my fingers through Joe’s tousled hair.  It was gloriously soft without gel or anything holding it in place.

“I’ve wanted to do that for so long,” I whispered to him trailing my fingers along his face and sat down slowly giving Joe a generous look down my top.

“Cat,” he growled and I looked down the bar at a waiving arm and interrupted him by pointing at it.  Joe cussed under his breath and went to make a drink.

“Minx,” Chris said from next to me with a chuckle.

I turned to him with my sly smile and ran a hand along his bicep keeping my lashes lowered to watch my fingers.  “Do you have time in your break for a dance?”  I looked up into his eyes.

“Oh yes,” and with two hands he lifted me easily off the stool, effortlessly holding me in the air for the second it took him to slide off his own and plant me on my feet in front of him.  The act rocked desire through me and he saw it in my eyes.  He grinned, running his hands slowly down my waist to stop at my hips and pivot me in the direction of the dance floor.

Glancing once behind me coyly I sashayed toward the floor with my sexiest Cat walk.  I raised my arms to lift my long hair and swung it leisurely about so Chris could get the occasional clear and unobstructed view of the special First Friday little black dress with all the straps along the back.

Bobby, DJ, saw me standing at the entrance of the dance floor.  I had my arms braced on the poles bracketing the entrance.  Chris was pressed behind me with his nose in my hair and his hands on my hips.  I caught Bobby’s eyes and I grinned, a wild smile.  His mouth dropped a little as he took in what he saw.  He moved to his microphone, softened the volume of the song playing even though it wasn’t nearly over and his voice moved over the crowd.

“A special request tonight for a very special lady, folks.  For Cat, oh and Chris, I hate you.”

I laughed out loud and strutted onto the floor.  Bobby played one of my numbers and I danced a seductive version of Flamenco around a grinning Chris.  The crowd didn’t thin as much as give us a little room to do our stuff.  We barely noticed.

I felt intoxicated.  Cat was controlled, leisurely and focused on teaching.   I hadn’t had a chance to truly let loose with all of my own sexuality in fifteen years if you counted the years I was married.  I danced for the pure seduction of touching and taunting Chris.  It didn’t matter the consequences because we knew we’d be sleeping together tonight and would probably never do it again.

When the song ended Chris tried to catch me for a kiss but I skipped away and off the dance floor.  I walked without any of Cat’s leisure.  Sexy struts took me to my stool.  Joe met me there with a resigned frown on his face.  He thought I had chosen Chris over him.  Silly, sexy man, I thought.

I sat on the stool and lay an arm across the bar toward Joe.  My fingers just touched his arm.

“Joe,” I purred at him, my eyes on his forearm.  He just watched me.  “Can Bill handle the bar alone?”

I met his eyes and looked at him with my intent there.  His features changed as he smiled and said, “We’ll see won’t we.”

I felt Chris’s presence warm my back and heard him say from behind me, “Well, I guess my break’s over.”  I reached my other hand out to his arm and drew him closer to me.

“The crowd is pretty light tonight, Joe” I crooned persuasively.  “Can’t Julio take the door for the rest of the evening?”

I watched Joe look at me then lock eyes over my head with Chris.  I heard Chris rumble behind me, “She is used to more than one.”

Joe laughed and said, “I’m not sure two will be enough.”

“It will have to be,” I commented, “Because after you bring me a Kamikaze, Joe, we are leaving.”

Joe moved off to make the drink and I glanced over my shoulder to Chris.

“Do you know my health requirements?”

“Joe, Bill, Bobby and I get tested every week before First Friday for just this opportunity,” he said as he ran his hands down my hair, “man I love your hair.”

Joe came over with three Madori Kamikaze’s and we each took one.

Joe held his up and said, “To Cat.”  Chris echoed, “To Cat.”

I grinned and thought it would be silly to say ‘to me’ so I said, “To Freedom for one night.”

We downed our drinks and headed for the exit.

Chris explained to Julio he would be doing the door for the rest of the evening and Julio looked at me and began cursing his own bad luck.  We laughed.  Just outside the door I stopped and turned around to face the two men with me.

“Do you both know where the Suite is?”

Chris nodded and Joe said, “Cat’s Suite.”

I took off my shoes a little regretful I’d be ruining good hose.  But it was my night tonight, Sarah’s not Cat’s.  I stepped backward slowly away from them, shoes in hand, as I talked.

“Alright gentlemen, here’s the challenge.  Whoever can catch me first gets me first.  And if you catch me before I get to the building, you get a blow job and I do so love blow jobs.”

Compulsions

My oldest has what’s known as Asperger’s Syndrome. (A high functioning form of Autism I’ve nicknamed Geeks Disease.)

His isn’t bad.  He doesn’t have too many obvious signs other then a slight incomprehension on the behavior and motives of regular kids. Occasionally he’ll develop a tick.  But in place of the high intellect and accompanying ego he was cursed/blessed with his emotions on the surface of his skin, High Anxiety and depression.

He DOES, however, have the classic Asperger’s trait of imparting, dumping, sharing vast amounts of information on anyone he encounters.

When he was little this was annoying because he was learning new things every day and he felt the need to “share” them with me.  CONSTANTLY!  So I taught him very quickly that its’ polite to ASK a friend if they want to hear what you have to say.  Happy to grasp any tool I gave him, he immediately began almost every sentence with , “Mom, can I tell you all *insert current obsession topic* (i.e…. of the spells I know from Harry Potter?)”

To which I would reply, “No, thank you.”

Initially this would screech him to a halt but only for about a minute to which he’s say, “Well, I’ll tell you anyway.”

But I’d stand my ground and remind him of the rules of good manners.  So after a while when he’d ask and I’d say, “No” I’d have to watch his compulsive need to share do battle with the rules I’d laid out for him.  Which was kind of amusing.

Yes, I’m evil.  (I did finally come up with a way to turn it into writing practice.  I told him to create a little notebook of it.  He did.. with descriptions and drawings and he eventually got it all out of his system.)

Now that he’s 13 the compulsion to share with me is still there but he brings it up as “an idea” he had.

Luke: Mom, I think I’m going to compare the Harry Potter books with the movies and see how they’re different.

Me: Excellent idea for extra credit in English class, Luke!  Are you going to read the books first then watch the movies?

Luke: There are some great lines in the movie… for instance…

Me:  Stop.  If you’re going to quote things to me, I’d rather not hear them.  And remember lines won’t be exact between the book and the movie.. you should compare scenes.

Luke: [walking out the door, he says quietly] For instance in Chamber of Secrets at the end….

I just roll my eyes at him as he walks back to his room but can only blame myself.  I know where he gets that need to share AND compulsion to complete that sharing!

Oh, yes.. the Queen of Can’t-Shut-Up-Land who’s so compulsive she has to POST her own shit on the internet!

Good Tips for the beauty newbie

I found an interesting article in a beauty magazine.  (Hey.. it was accidentally delivered… to my mother… I SWEAR!)   In any case, it answered at least ONE question I’d been pondering.  And I realized some of the info was worth passing along.

TIPPING:  Apparently, you’re supposed to tip EVERYONE who you come in contact with, except the owners (oh, gee thank god for THAT  one), at a high end beauty shop.  Which is why I go to a low end shop where there IS no coat check, separate shampoo person, & assistant who blow dries.  That’s all done by the same person at my shop.. so I just tip her 20%.  Done deal.

Although it did state that the average tip for a manicure is $5.00 even if you’re just getting a $10 quickie at the local mall.  Makes it worthwhile to just get the Mani/Pedi deal if you’re going to spend $15.00 anyway!  Cuz, yes, if I don’t do it myself (or have Sex God do it) then I go to the local mall for my mani/pedi.

HAIR STYLISTS:  Go with a clear idea of what you want seems redundant.  We all THINK we know, but get all vague and kinda hopeful the stylist will pull a Next Top Model make-over suggestion.   So bring in a magazine picture.  Better yet, bring in a pix you have of a style you’ve worn that you like! And if you don’t like the job they do, tell them before you leave to give them a chance to fix it.  Hopefully they won’t make it worse!  Not bad advice.  But remember also, if you can only afford to cut your hair 3-4 times a year tell your stylist so they can give you a low-maintenance cut.

FACIALS: I loved this one, made me giggle.  The first thing right off they tell you to be honest if you are using any chemicals like Retin A on your face.  THEN they tell you to also STOP using Retin A 3 days before a peel or laser treatment and a week before facial waxing.  I’m thinking.. if you’re using BOTH are you a little obsessed?

MASSAGE: The only useful suggestion in this part was the dose of common sense to NOT worry about hair or stubble or whether you nails or toenails look good.  The massage therapists isn’t judging you… she’s working!  lol  Besides the lights are too low to see anything clearly!

And Finally… WAXING:  Here’s where the nuggets of info just fell and fell.  Tell them upfront if you want a Brazilian not just a Bikini so they can schedule the right length of time for your appointment.  Very good tip.  And no matter how unkempt you feel DO NOT trim before a waxing.  The waxer will do it if needed.  As a matter of fact don’t shave the area for 3 weeks prior to a waxing.  And remember a Brazilian needs full nudity, so no shyness.

Which was exactly the question I’d been contemplating.  WHEN to spend the outrageous sum to try a Brazilian and what do I need to know before hand.

Besides the fact its going to hurt!

Lucky for me I kinda like that kind of “take it” type of hurt. 😉

My Fickle Muse

Lately I’ve felt the urge to write and work on a creative project but this urge is sporadic and usually NOT what my compulsive completer thinks SHOULD be worked on.  So this conflict result in nothing getting written.  Hell, I barely BLOG anymore!

So it occurred to me that maybe I should just roll with my Muse and stop trying to control my talent.  Write whatever I’ve been thinking about that day.  Write ON whatever my Muse has been nudging me about.  And stop procrastinating on ALL my talent just because I’m a OCD about finishing things.

Because I know that only by writing will my Muse keep talking to me.  Although she does fill my nights with amazing dream characters and plots and worlds and stories.  And she’s always done that for as long as I could remember.  So I doubt my Muse will ever abandon me completely.

But I’ve got to get motivated to pursue the creative end of my Muse or she’ll just be personal entertainment and never shared.  And like my little horoscope says, its time to put up or shut up.

Besides, I keep telling my sons to get some “drive” into their life.  Perhaps they’ll absorb it better if I example it for them.

Ya think!?!

Sorority Prank

When I was in college I was in a sorority.  We weren’t a very good sorority in the sense of being very enthusiastic about Greek life.  Basically nothing like you saw in Legally Blonde!  lol  We were just a group of girls, living together while going to college.  With the exception of having weekly House Meetings and the occasional Formal Party, we really didn’t do much other than eat, sleep, study or talk.

My cohort Mary & a "hostage"

But it was Iowa City and it was the 80’s and well, freaking COLD!  And sometimes we got bored.  On one such a day my friend Mary and I decided we should take our Pledge Mom’s to breakfast.  (Every new member gets an older member assigned as her Pledge Mom to help her learn to be a sorority girl. Yes,  you have just been Greek’d!)  Mary and I wanted to express our appreciation.

Oh but we couldn’t just invite them.  Nope, not us.  We stole into their rooms and stole their favorite stuffed animals, tied them up, hid them in

A Hostage

the house and spent the afternoon cutting out words from magazine & newspapers to make together ransom notes.  You know.. the usual.  “If you ever want to see your precious loved one again.. meet us at Perkins Sunday at 7am.  No cops… NO COPS!!

When Sunday came, Mary and I snuck out of the house and to Perkins we went.  When we walked in, the hostess said, “Table for two?”  With a smile I said, “No, table for six, two booster chairs please.”   She hesitated for only a minute!Good girl!

Mary and I tied the “hostages” to the booster chairs and fielded questions from the other Perkins patrons.  “Is this a fraternity prank?” etc.

When Bobbi (who goes by Lynn now) showed up she explained

Disguise

that Deb had a cold so couldn’t make it.  We had a lovely breakfast and afterword we showed Bobbi how Mary and I had disguised the getaway car.

All this… cuz we were bored, college students.  I swear  did I learn ANYTHING in school?

Spitting Class

I’ve been noticing a new trend (okay its new to ME!) in some porn lately.  (yes, I watch porn… get over yourself, who DOESN’T!)

So this new trend I’m talking about… spitting.  Now, I’m open minded and will allow that some people enjoy watching a guy spit on his or her parts to lube then up.  And I’ve seen the occasional spit on their partner thing and even have their partners spit on them back.  But I don’t find it arousing in any way.  Mostly I think.. “Wow, that’s pretty good aim.”  Or I just say, “Ewww!!”

But I have found that sometimes there comes a moment in intimacy where you want or need a little extra lubricant and don’t want to stop to run to the bathroom because you didn’t prepare properly!  In those moments a little extra spit can be a wonderful thing, as a quick fix!

Plus there are the times when a man uses his hand to “finish” his lovely sexual encounter.  Usually so he can dispense with cuming in a condom!  And I’ve found, with some men, that they prefer the extra lube of a little spit in those situations.

Now, if I’m lucky, I’m close enough to participate in this type of external ejaculation.  And one such occasion I tried to supply a little lube, with some spit.  And almost ruined the moment by giggling.

Because apparently, I cannot spit. 

Apparently, I should have been practicing this! (Like a hick!  Or a guy!)  Who knew it would be a skill I would wish I had!  Goodness, did all those girls in the porn movies take a Spitting Class, or something?  You know.. right after they spend 3 hours in the gym keeping their bodies toned and  just before they get their spray on tan.

All I know is me and my boys are going to each take a glass of water and start a practicing!!   Not gonna let those porn girls be better at EVERYTHING!

Besides, maybe a spitting class will cut down on the mess in the bathroom after they brush their teeth!!

Too much of a GOOD thing

My new television is disturbing.  Don’t get me wrong.  I love it.  It’s just that its HD and not a huge size.  Or maybe I’m not used to it.  But the picture is really, really clear.  I mean spooky clear!  Like a window into another dimension clear.

My brain keeps watching my shows with a slight sense of confusion.  Because my shows don’t feel like they were done in the studio.  They feel like they were filmed on the street with a hand held camera. SPOOKY CLEAR, people!!!

Have you ever been watching a t.v. show and they insert something from a news program, filming the characters.  You know how that looks different, more real, more polished?  More like the news actually.

Well, now ALL my shows look like that.  And its a little freaky!  These shows are now just a little too real!!

Thank goodness I’m not watching Supernatural anymore.  I’m not sure I could handle it if THAT show looked too real!!

Is this what people felt like when they switched from black and white to color?

Spookily Accurate 2011

Ok.. so I did this last year and I think its fun to see how the predictions play and don’t play so I’m doing it again this year.

First my Aries Career Annual Horoscope

The powerful evolution of your professional life continues to unfold in fascinating ways in 2011 compliments of the almighty Pluto deepening his presence in your career sector (for another decade-plus). If ever there was a year to put yourself on the map, this is it. The gold at the end of a long tunnel of hard work, perseverance and trials and tribulations shall arrive by springtime. By the beginning of May you’ll have the power of a colossal planetary convergence in Aries to see you through to the big leagues. Heaven knows you deserve a huge boost in recognition for all of your efforts. Few work harder or faster!

This is the year to risk it all for your true vocational calling. If you’ve been playing it safe, living the life of a shadow artist or closet entrepreneur — the planets will no longer abide by such settling. Get honest about what makes you want to get out of bed in the morning and move solely in that direction. Out with any residual slave mentality — Rams were born to spearhead, not suck it up.

The money starts rolling in by mid-June to fund your grandest plans. With Jupiter’s bounty padding your pockets for the entire summer, you’ll have the confidence to make the bigger leaps of faith. When Jupiter goes retrograde in September, you may want to cut back on any frivolous expenditure and get cracking on truly building that savings account.

So it’s telling me NOW is the time to get serious about my writing, my comedy and all my other ideas of what I’m good at.  Sigh.. guess I’m going to have to put up or shut up!  (and we all know how I can’t shut up!)

Next is the Aries Romantic Annual Horoscope

The theme of hard work continues when it comes to relationships. You’ve learned the hard way in 2009 that this doesn’t mean sacrificing your needs or denying your true self. No longer is the name of the game about pleasing the other at the expense of losing yourself or vice versa. In fact, games are off. Honesty truly counts and is essential for preserving the integrity of your relationships.

Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster continues to raise the karmic gauntlet in your relationship sector until 2012. All associations, alliances and partnering must be beneficial. If you’re wasting time, the cords have to be cut. If you’ve learned your lessons well, you’ll pass the cosmic test with flying colors. The whole give-and-take ratio must be as close to equal as humanly possible for all parties to be happy. But this does not mean selling yourself out — or short for that matter. After breaking through any pesky co-dependent relationship snags in 2009, you’re ready for the big leagues when it comes to love and commitment. In fact, any residual commitment phobia will be taken up under Saturn’s grave tutelage over the next 12 months.

April and May are bar-none the sexiest months of the year, while September and October are your sweetest when it comes to love. You live for the chase and the challenge but this year, you’ll be the pursued more than the pursuer (especially in May and September). Expect no shortage of excitement on the romantic front in 2011 — Rams are positively bursting at your Mars-ready seams with energy. With an unprecedented plethora of planets hitting your relationship zone this year, your one-track romantic inclinations serve you well.

The spooky part of this is the way it mentions 2009.  That was the year I opened my eyes to the fact I was sacrificing my needs and denying my true self.  It was when I began my self-discovery.   And I’ve come to view dating as Fate/Karma bringing people into my life they want me to meet or they want me to touch their life in some way for that other party.  So ALL associations are beneficial, but I only keep the associations which are equally beneficial to me.

What worries me is the whole “commitment phobia” thing it mentioned!  Can someone poly-amorous BE commitment phobic?  Just because we can care and love more than one person doesn’t mean we cannot commit to some level to one or more.  Its just that our definitions of love are broader than most.

“Hey, Horoscope.. can you define “commitment”…?!”

First Dance

A couple of weeks ago Luke, my oldest son who’s in middle school, told me on the drive to school that he wanted to stay late to go to the dance.  He asked and persuaded all in one breath.

“Mom, it’s only from 3 to 4:30 and you don’t have to dress up and its $4.00 I’m paying with my money… is it okay?”

Is it okay?  I thought.  Awww.. my sweet boy is going to his first dance!  Of course its okay.  Hell, I want to go and take pictures!  But all that is silent in my head.  Instead I answer like this.

“Well, it sounds fine.  Call me when you want me to pick you up.  How exciting.. your first dance!”

He goes off to school and I go off to work, crowing to my friends my geeky son is going to his first dance.  I’m so proud!

Then he calls me at 4pm from the school.

“Luke!  How was the dance?!” I ask.

“The dance was horrible!!  The music was terrible, the snacks were over-priced!  There wasn’t any punch and they REFUSED to give me my money back!”

When I picked him up after a few questions he admitted that he did dance.  That Destiny and Boaz, his friends, were there and that nothing “bad” happened (which was my worst nightmare… that he’d get picked on or harassed at a social event like this.)

But all his emotion when he called me to pick him up, wasn’t the sound of upset tears.  No, righteous indignation had filled his voice (even as I tried to hold back my hysterical laughter).  Because I could just imagine him going up to the student body cashiers with his list of un-realized expectations pouring out of his mouth and demanding his $4.00 back.

My own little Sheldon… unafraid to buck the system and ignore convention when it comes to his hard earned money and being “right”.

I worry a little less about his social interactions!
