I have a lot to blog about, including my love of Babushkas, Greg's wedding, the kids starting school, work, and more. But I just can't. We had court yesterday, day 3, and still to continue if we want to keep fighting for the boys. But God has vacated the premises and we are now on our own. See, no one actually gives a fuck about the children in a custody case. It goes something like this:
Judge: I'm concerned about Mom's behavior with the boys, and her family, they are really fucked up and it's not likely to change. However, you fell in love with another woman, and so I'm going to punish you by not allowing you to have your children, even though if you weren't in love with her and you moved back to PA I'd give them to you. So, fuck the kids, this is all about getting back at you.
Yea, well FUCK YOU GOD.....

Ain't Technology Grand?
So I finally relent after using the same crapass cellphone for the better part of the last 6 years. That old Nokia served me well and was right there when I finally dropped my LG VX10 for the 60th time and it broke the display window. I was really fond of the LG but reluctant, for ridiculous reasons, to upgrade my phone which would require me to sign-up for at least a year on contract. I was happy going month-to-month.
Given that Nymphette and I text a lot - it became clearer that it was time to step into the new millenium. Texting on a regular phone keypad is friggin' monotonous and she's had the benefit of her Treo with full QWERTY keypad for some time.
Long story short... I tend to be brand loyal when there is a good thing going, I invest in the LG VX9800... a.k.a. "The V." Now, I don't need to download music or videos or have a need for most of the rest of its bells and whistles... and let me tell you, this thing can do just about anything. And I have my full keypad for more efficient text messaging.
I've had it a few weeks now and have become fond of the voice dialing and announcing and all that jazz. Little did I know...
Today as I sit at my work desk eating my lunch, I had the phone flipped open to the keypad mode for no particular reason, and suddenly the friggin' phone starts talking to me! "New message from [Nymphette] - I'm home for a bit, YAY! Love you so." It does so in this monotone, computerized voice. I'M... HOME... FOR... A... BIT........... YAY! LOVE... YOU... SO.
One thought comes to mind as I didn't realize that the phone would do this when flipped open... Whoa. So VERY cool! I text her back telling her about how the phone just blurts out received text messages when it's opened up to the keyboard.
She texts me again, "LMFAO" Yes, the computer delivers the message in voice command mode. Try to say "lmfao" as a word, and you'll get the idea regarding just how it sounded.
Then she starts getting carried away... as I'm sitting there surfing the news, fortunately, alone...
New... message... from... [Nymphette]... I... WANT... YOUR... COCK...
I nearly spit a mouthful of ham & cheese onto my keyboard.
New... message... from... [Nymphette]... Yeah... baby... baby... oh... baby... baby...
Before anyone decides to come into my office, I close the keyboard. Listening to the female computerized voice coming onto me was downright hysterical. This may be a "you kinda hafta be there" moment, but I assure you, if you upgrade your phone to one with a similar feature, it's going to be a good time. It's not about all of the MP3, video capture capabilities, voice command features, interent access, GPS... no, a grown man loving his new technology because his partner can text him sexy messages and make me laugh listening as the computerized sex-pot delivers them.

Welcome to the year 2000
Mr. M finally decided to upgrade his cell phone. He's had a credit forever since his contract was up, but he refused to sign a new one for over a year now. He finally realized that he isn't going to switch carriers anyway, so he might as well get the hot new phone he wanted. He is now in love. I am also in love. With the phone. I sent him a text letting him know what I was doing today, he replied and then I replied right back. He still had the phone open and THE PHONE READ THE TEXT MESSAGE TO HIM. Do you see what's coming next?
He lets me know this miracle of technology and of course I start texting immediately:
I WANT YOUR COCK.
I did forwarn him by a half second through IM to turn his sound down. I also told him I have diarrhea and asked if he wanted me to text that to him so he can hear how it sounds.....

One wrong turn
A couple of weeks ago I made a request of Mr. M:
Queen: Can you take a day off during that one week that we don't have any kids so we can spend some time together?
Mr. M: (looking pensive)
Queen: There IS a wrong answer to this question darling.
Mr. M: Why I'd love to spend a day with the love of my life!
And so today was the day, and after two weeks we STILL didn't have a plan for what we wanted to do. We discussed going to Berkely Springs, but the court house burned down yesterday and traffic would have been a bitch. We thought about doing a winery or two, going into DC, maybe a water park, the Renaissance Faire (which isn't open during the week anyway, duh!), or just chilling at the beach. All we knew we really wanted to do was go out to breakfast. And so after a very late start we finally headed that way around 11 am.
About a mile out I asked Mr. M if he knew of anyone that owns about 5 acres in the country that I could possibly use for boot camps (new personal training company, sorta in the works) and we start discussing the horse farm. Mr. M decides we should go see it right then since it's on the way. We ended up talking to the owner for almost an hour, and even tried to get in for a trail ride today but it was his day off with the kids, so we made plans to go back. We finally made it to breakfast a couple of minutes after noon and stuffed ourselves silly. We both looked at each other wondering what to do next. We decided to take a trip to the local park grounds to see if there was an appropriate place for the bootcamps, there were plenty. We then made a quick trip to the antique shop before deciding to drive home past an iron gate I saw for sale the other day. I made him pull over to look at it and discuss my idea of using it for edging behind the stone patio we planned on putting out back someday. After about two minutes we decide we don't want the gate but we would like to go look at stone for the hell of it since we have nothing else planned.
As we are heading towards Lowe's we stop in at a pawn shop we've never been in and Mr. M ends up spending $4 on a CD of Traffic, yea, no clue, but he threw it in the stereo and sang the whole time. As we are heading towards Lowe's I decide I'd rather go to the garden center that I love.
Long story short, or at least shorter, we ended up buying 3000 pounds of colonial lilac field stone, 30 bags of sand, and 4 of my favorite grass plantings. We headed home and began clearing landscaping in order to put in a stone patio. We are fucking crazy.....

Stupid is as stupid does
So, on Friday afternoon I was finally doing a little work. Meaning I would complete something but not actually print it, or finish something but not actually e-mail it. I had all afternoon to myself, so I was taking my time. So I take a break and start surfing. And then it happens. My world falls apart. My computer crashes. I go and gather all the restart CD's, and I'm sent in a continuous loop. Mr. M calls the computer guy and I drop it off. The only good thing to come of this trip is that my tailor is right around the corner and so I drop off my gown for Greg's wedding. I would have waited, but I'm glad I got there so it would be finished before Bill went on vacation next week.
I head home and get the call from Mr. M. It's dead. Completely dead. No way to recover anything. I have to start all over. So we decide to have a new hard drive put in rather than buying a new laptop. As of right now I'm commandeering Mr. M's computer until he brings mine home tonight so I can spend the next 48 hours reloading every program and file. AND THEN. And then I'm going to be smart and just put everything on the servers as I complete things each day. I'm too lazy to back things up, but if I just upload the files, I should be good. The funny thing? I just backed up all the files at the gym, but not here. I'm an ass.....

On the road again
Thank you for your comments on the last post. I hate writing even little things like that, because I'm not one of those people that blames her parents for everything that has ever gone wrong with them, who will never be happy no matter what. I don't believe I'm particularly strong, and some ways that I deal with problems are probably not healthy, ask Mr. M. Mr. M often believes I don't react to things, that I may in fact have no feelings whatsoever. That's not a good thing. The reality is I just shut down. Mostly it's because I feel like I'm responsible for everything, even things I can't control.
Anyway, onto more positive thoughts. We had a fucking fantastic month at the gym. Fanfuckingtastic. We need one more month like this and we will be good to go. I have always believed that things happen for a reason, even the bad things. We finally have a great staff, people that go above and beyond for the gym and themselves. I firmly believe in rewarding people with positive reinforcement, probably too much as Mr. M is always asking if I offered people raises, lol. But I am absolutely thrilled with all of them, and I've heard nothing but positive comments from all of our members as well. One of the best ways to grow a business is through word of mouth, and it has been a struggle getting our members to share our programs with families and friends. This month has been the turning point, they are excited about all the changes, and without even asking they have been telling everyone, it's amazing when it finally all comes together. I'm blabbing I know, but it's just been so much fun this month.
We've also been toying with buying one of the other franchises that is only 5 miles away from us. I'm good friends with the owner and she has decided to sell after 12 years with the franchise. It's a huge opportunity, but also a huge committment. Her gym is over 8000 sq ft, with a full salon inside, and 32 employees. They do like 52 classes a week, yikes! Unfortunately if we buy it, we pretty much bury our dreams of opening something close to home. I think we are erring on the side of passing up the opportunity which I think is the right thing to do, it just sucks to have to let something so good go to someone else. BUT, if we can make what we want close to home happen, it would be absolutely amazing. Fingers crossed...
Chrissie, I miss you so too!
