Turnbaby and TMI

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

First things first! In case y'all forgot, I will be on Turnbaby Talks - tonight - at 8:00PM Eastern time. I still can't believe she asked me to be on her show. Just terrifies baffles me. Click on this link and it will take you directly to the show. Register with Blog Talk Radio (it's free and secure) and you can participate in the chat during the show!

Oh, and by the way, Turnbaby also has a blog, and if you're not reading it what the hell are you reading?? Oh, and not only is she beautiful, sexy and smart, she also does HNT ... just sayin'!

1. Are you truly politically correct? Be honest.

Ummmmm, no! Nor do I want to be! Politically correct has become something that limits freedom of speech and causes people to lose all common sense (in my oh-so-humble opinion). What I am is conscientious and respectful (most of the time) of other people.

2. Will you ever streak in public during rush hour?

Not a chance in hell, unless it's rush hour in Tolna, North Dakota (population 193), and even then it would need to be a cold day in hell.

3. Would you ever do something sexual in public (more than 20 people around)?

Hmmm ... would "flashing" be considered sexual?? Actually, I have several public sex fantasies and have been known to whoop out a tit display a breast in a public place on occasion. Then there was Tequila in Korea - need I say more?

4. Do you ever not have good table manners?

With the exception of belching when I drink beer (and I'd argue that is good "beer" table manners), I'd say I have impeccable table manners. In fact, I'd also say that poor table manners (chewing with the mouth open, talking with food in the mouth, elbows on the table, etc.) are a pet peeve of mine!

5. Do you ever fantasize about a public sexual act? Describe.

Most definitely! I find the thought of public sex - the chance of getting caught - extremely erotic. A hand job under the table ... a little obvious groping at a bar ... all turn ons for me.

Bonus (as in optional): Have you ever gone through a true sexual fantasy? Describe.

This is one of those moments when I wish I were Ms. I, or at least that I could write like her *wink*. I am erotica challenged. That being said, I did have an opportunity to make my three-some (two women, one man) fantasy come to fruition ... more than once. However, there are a few more fantasies that I need to keep working on!

Friday Wrap-Up

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Whew! What a week! So much to get done before I head out the door and so much procrastination little time to get it done. As I write this I still have not packed nor finished laundry. It's looking like our 5:30AM departure will be delayed until 7-ish. Not to worry - since I don't have a plan I'm still on schedule!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Speaking of plans, I did have one plan, and it was a reminder of why uber-planning really is highly over-rated. I reserved a rental car about 2 months ago. Got a great deal on a "standard" (Pontiac G6, Ford Fusion or similar) car - under $150/week and unlimited mileage. I rented it through Enterprise, so opted for the "We'll pick you up" option. They were due her at 5PM yesterday.

Like every good planner, I called on Tuesday to confirm. Yes, they had the reservation. Yes, they'd see me on Thursday at 5PM.

At 5PM yesterday, I call the office to make sure someone is on the way (Are you getting a feel for what a pain in the ass my normal mode of operation is here?). Stephanie tells me their driver had a final and had to leave at 4PM. They tried to call (they did, but didn't leave a message) to see if I was available earlier. Stephanie offered to shut the office down and pick me up by 5:30PM. Not a problem - I can live with that.

5:35 and no Stephanie. Hmmmm ... maybe I should call again. Guess who answers the phone? Stephanie! Seems she changed her mind and decided she would pick me up after she closed the office at 6PM. It would have been nice to have been let in on that information.

I've got a 7PM appointment with the family counselor (yes, we are still going), so throw a temper tantrum decide I had better go pick up the car myself and worry about getting my car back to the house later. Off we go, already an hour behind the plan.

Get to Enterprise and my "Pontiac G6, Ford Fusion or similar" turned out to be a friggin' PT cruiser. No offense to any of you who love this car, but it reminds me of the AARP set - seems any time I see someone driving one of these they also qualify for the senior citizens discount at Denny's! I got out of the car and said, "Please tell me you are NOT putting me in that PT Cruiser." Poor Stephanie - she looks at me clearly distressed. As a matter of fact, that is my car. Ummmm ... no it isn't.

She says they do have a 2008 Charger, but it hasn't been cleaned up since it was returned. Not a problem, give me the Charger *does the happy dance* I made my 7PM appointment, got a great vehicle to drive across country AND appreciated the opportunity to see the value of uber-planning (none)!

There have been many lessons this week. Much drama, some of it - if I'm honest - self-induced. I've had the unique opportunity to "see" people in a new light. A few stepped up to the plate, many stood by my side, a few stabbed me in the back, and one or two twisted the knife as it was going in (and no, not a SINGLE blogger falls into either of those last two categories). Kind of a microcosm of the "real" world, don't you think?

This week has been eye opening. My road time over the next few days will give me plenty of opportunity to reflect on changes that I need to consider - what I do to contribute to the drama in my life - what I can change to minimize that. People will do whatever people do. My reaction to what they do is what's really important, and I think there is opportunity for some positive change there.

August 19, 2008 - 8PM Eastern Time
SAVE THE DATE

In my continuing effort to expand my personal comfort zone -AACK!! - I have agreed to be a "Special Guest " on Blog Talk Radio's Turnbaby Talks show.

Remember, I am the woman who can sense a panic attack coming on when I have to pick up the telephone and order pizza! Yep! This is certainly a stretch for me, but I'm actually looking forward to it. Turnbaby is one of those people who can make you feel comfortable within seconds of inviting you into her "home."

Will y'all come play with me? What if I promise to be at least half-nekkid while on the show??
