Classes ended last week with final exams due on Tuesday. All I can do now is wait, which is the part I hate the most.
Grades for the final still arent posted. My final grade depends on how well I did on that test and I hate not knowing!
*drums fingers on desk*
Patience is a virtue I am NOT blessed with!

Going green seems to be the catch phrase of the moment. In my own personal effort to go green I have started a container garden.
Now, gardening is something Ive always wanted to do. Ive had some luck with flowers, but Ive also killed my fair share of plants. I did a lot of research on container gardens and decided I was ready to take the plunge.
Sir and I went shopping and spent about $20 on pepper and tomato plants with some basil and lettuce seeds. I planted everything except the basil right away. So far, so good! I have a teensy little baby pepper on one plant and everything else is still alive! Yay me!
This is the test before we get the new house built. Ive been asking for a garden and Sir has said I can have one. I figure I can handle it if I can get things to grown on my balcony. The difficult part is going to be deciding WHAT to grow! Im not going to have a lot of space and keep thinking of more things to add to it. Strawberries, cucumbers, cantelope, peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus (for Sir, of course!), carrots, oh, my!
At least I have some time to plan it all out. And Im more confident I wont kill it all!

needing some ideas....

Sirs birthday is coming up soon and Im at a loss. When I ask Him what He would like, He says things like, dinner at McDs or other minimal activities.
I know He doesnt like to have His birthday be a big deal. I get that! I really do! Im not big on my birthday either, but I do want to do something nice for Him. When Ive tried to explain WHY its important to me, He just shrugs it off and tells me to let it go.
Im looking for ideas, here. Can any of you think of something that wouldnt seem like Im making a big deal about His birthday but would allow me to show Him how grateful I am to have Him in my life?

I know its been ages since Ive been around. Its not that I dont think about all my friends here, its just that time is so difficult to come by these days.
Im traveling again for work. *sigh* Fortunately, Im managing to keep it down to once a month. This year, its Boston more than Chicago. The last three trips Ive been on have been team trips. A group going to one city or the other for meetings and presentations. I dont mind the Boston trips so much, though. Its so much easier to take the train than it is to fly to Chicago. One of these days, though, I have to stop on my way home. I pass right by Providence and thats pretty close to a very special lady I still want to meet! (Hint, hint, Foulmama!)
Sirs house is on the market, but no luck in selling it yet. Theres a part of me that tries to stay serene about the situation and another part that is chomping at the bit. Once the house is sold, we can move forward with our lives and our plans. I want that so badly, but I also am very comfortable with the life we have now. Isnt it silly? I want it both ways....
School is, as usual, time consuming. I have a final exam to take this weekend, then no more classes for a couple of weeks. Ill be so glad when this is all over! Another year at this rate and Im already just so tired of it. There are days when I am convinced I am just an idiot for even trying to do this right now.
All in all, life is good! I shouldnt complain, because things are just going so well for me. So feel free to smack me! lol

as is asparagus....
squash is a soft limit....
there are no limits on corn,
and green beans,
and peas,
and lima beans,
and cabbage,
and brussel sprouts,
and carrots,
and potatoes,
and cabbage,
and spinach.
With all the areas with no limits, why is it that the hard limit keeps being discussed?

Yes, I know! Its been ages since Ive visited....
Business law just SUCKS! lol Too much reading, more reading, and then reading again. I am hating this class more than any other I have taken. The instructor is horrible, the material is dry, and Im so glad I only have 4 weeks left before its done. I cant wait to take Accounting!
Sir has been busy with the house project. While I havent been able to help Him as much as I would like to, it has taken up a good part of our lives lately. Its almost done so life should come back to a more normal status soon!
Ive also taken on a contract job. Fortunately, its not that many hours and the pay is fantastic. There isnt much left on the project so that will free up some more time soon.
There havent been any trips to Chicago lately, but I have been to the Boston area. In fact, it looks like that will become a regular trip for me this year. We have two companies there that I need to visit. I think it may be a monthly trip, but I can at least take the train instead of flying!
Time has been flying by and I keep thinking about the things I want to share. Sir has been teasing me about how long its been since my last post. There just hasnt been an opportunity to put things up here! Having said that, though, life is good.
Its really, REALLY good these days!

Is anyone else tired of hearing every detail of Britneys life dragged out as news every single day? Do the broadcasters think we all REALLY need to know this? Or that were waiting, with bated breath, to hear about the most recent escapade?
Would someone PLEASE make it stop?!?

loving pain?

Elusive1NC has an interesting post that has many questions running around in my head. You can read it here: S&M
My response to her was: I have a difficult time with accepting pain if it is not from someone I love. Yet I managed to accept my punishment from His Domme friend. I respect her tremendously, but don't love her. Passion didn't come into play, either....
I agree with the first part of the quote. The amount of pain is less what appeals to me. It is the whole scenario, being overwhelmed and moved out of myself by the activity. The pain can be quite small if Im psychologically and emotionally vulnerable. When Im put into the right head space, Ive found that I can take more pain than otherwise as well.
I appreciate UTMaster4us comment about replacing the word love with passion. How does that play into it though? What if youre in a scene with someone you dont lust after? Or feel passion for? Is it passion for the activity rather than the person? In my situation, was it my love for Sir that made our scene with His friend so memorable?
Theres something about this quote that really moves me. But it also feels a bit incomplete. Anyone have thoughts on it? How would you interpret it for yourself?

Im supposed to be sitting here working on school work. I just cant do it....
This term Im taking another English Comp course. That means that Ive spent hours and hours at the computer doing research and writing. Im sick and tired of Social Security reform right now! On top of that, Ive got a nasty head cold and cant take my normal remedies. Nyquil is not allowed with my back medication. Neither is Tylenol cold and flu. Or anything else Ive ever used with success. *sigh* So I feel like my head is twice its normal size, Im achy, and all I want to do is go back to bed. If I do that, though, Im afraid I wont sleep tonight.
This is the first cold Ive had in at least two years. Id forgotten just how miserable you felt when you had one! I think Im going to throw in the towel and go curl up on the couch with Sir....
