I Got Mail...

I got, dare I say..."fan mail" (please let me say). Thank you Suzzette for dropping me a note. It was inspiration to drop you all a note. I am still alive and well and so is Green Eyes. I am going to have to keep this some what brief as I have a big test to study for. Let me address Suzzette's question first. She asked basically two things, one, how does GE do trying clothes on when we are out shopping and two, does GE use a feminine name?

At first GE did not try things on in the store, he almost always ordered clothes on-line or just bought the item and tried it at home. We have been shopping together now and he has tried on women's clothes. Now he goes shopping without me and tries clothes on. Mostly we shop at discount stores so the dressing rooms are right next to each other. I think that makes it easier to grab some women's clothes and go into the men's dressing room. But I imagine one day it would be fun to shop in a department store, with GE dressed en femme, we could even share a dressing room.

As for question number two, GE does use a femme name, when dressed. I think I may have mentioned a little about this in a previous post. I don't usually use it. I have not really thought about why. I know on the rare occasion I do, GE likes it. As I think about it now, I don't often call him by his male name either. Hopefully it is just a silly quirk that GE finds charming about me (lol). I will leave it up to him if he would like to share his femme name, just leave a comment baby.

As for my disappearance, school is kicking my butt, physically, mentally and emotionally. I feel bad for GE, on what is supposed to be our Wednesday "date night" I am just a puddle of mush. We have not had any girls' nights in quite a while, but we do keep talking about going out to a movie. I will keep you posted should we do anything fun. In the meantime send good thoughts for me to do well in school. Drop me a note, I'll answer.

Lucy, just slightly more sympathetic.

I am an avid web surfer. I love to read blogs and forums. I love to know what other people are thinking. People are fascinating. Way back when, while I was in college I minored in the study of psychology. These days, as I am back in school, I wonder if I should have pursued that farther. Sometimes I think of myself like Lucy, from the Peanuts comic, and wish I could hang up my sign...The Doctor is IN. (if I were more computer savvy I would insert a picture here, lol)

What could be more interesting than human behavior? People are so diverse and yet struggle with the same emotions. It makes me feel good when I can lend an ear to someone and give them a few words to let them know someone is listening and understands. I know how much I appreciate having the ear of a good friend, or a good therapist. Maybe it is just that little thing of feeling you are not alone.

When I am with my Green Eyes I don't feel alone and I like that. Last night, as you followers may realize, was Wednesday Date Night. We decided it would be a stay home night, there is a bit of job stress in the air, and I have studying to keep up with. That is not to say we didn't have a little fun. No cooking for me, we ordered pizza, Sicilian, I am still stuffed (next time we stick to regular pizza)! Then I had to draw the line after the pizza, "no we are not baking brownies, lol". It is too true, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Thank goodness Green Eyes loves my curves.

After dinner we settled onto the sofa, all comfy in our nighties, together. I had a large text book and Green Eyes had a new pair of really cute pink canvas, sling back, wedges. What is wrong with that picture, lol? I am getting a serious itch to go shoe shopping. But I digress, Green Eyes and I have actually spent the past few evenings together. He has some stress in his life and I am hopefully giving him the ear he needs, and the arms to cuddle with him. It feels good to be able to do that.

Like I said, the Doctor is in...any questions? $0.05 will get you my two cents!

Two for One

Two posts in one day. I feel the need to catch up a little. Vacation is over and life is back in full swing. Back to work and back to school, not just for the kids, I have a class tonight. This is the second class I am taking since starting back for a second degree. I have to confess I am a little nervous. As I flip through my new and obscenely expensive text book, I think this class might be a little harder than Chemistry. I am enjoying going back to school though, using my brain and learning new things.

I am feeling pretty good. I did notice in the past few weeks myself and others (mostly people whose blogs' I read) were feeling rather down. The planets must have been way out of wack for so many to feel the same way at the same time. This Leo does believe in astrology to a fair degree. I feel like my little vacation and getting out of the summer chaos and back into more of a routine has helped me.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled date night, I know we only missed one while I was away. I think because I did relax while I way away I was able to relax last night. Green Eyes and I had no real plans for the evening. Some times I get a little antsy (or maybe more accurately... pouty) if we don't go out. Last night I was happy to stay home and cook dinner. Although Green Eyes did not feel like getting dressed up I decided to. I put on a nice dress, with a nice neckline, and these really sexy high heels I just bought. As much fun as I have been having with Green Eyes' make-up and wig lately it was very nice to have his eyes on me all night last night. They are gorgeous green eyes.
