sugar and spice

by popular demand, here is where you can create your own cool south park character like mine in the previous post.

so the football game was wonderful, clemson took an early lead and beat florida state 35 to 14. i love college football, ok, mostly just clemson. even if it means tailgating at 8am, its definitely worth it.

i haven't posted much lately, i've been busy here and there. a lot has happened. i had several clients die recently which was totally sad, the campaign to end aids rally stopped in charlotte, i spent last weekend in atlanta for a little mini vaca and a thomas the tank engine and friends themed 3 year old birthday party. work continues to wear me down, with constant conflicts and uncertainties, so i'm considering a little change of scenery. being the emotional shopper that i am, i've made several noteworthy, however emotionally catalyzed purchases. first being a pair of earrings. now i know that it doesn't seem like much, but i almost never wear earrings, but did recently to a fundraising event for work and to my surprise received much encouraging feedback. so i'm trying to make an effort to wear them more. maybe it will make boys like me, we'll see. in a more recent and obviously more desperate (read:expensive) attempt to spend away my blues, i purchased a new christmas tree. for the last few years i'd been using a small pre-lit model, but gave it to my darling mims when she left for florida. no lie, literally with tears in my eyes, i spent an hour trying to decide which artificial tree to invest in. finally deciding on a full foliage, seven-footer from target. i opted for the non-prelit variety, because i couldn't decide between white or colored lights, and prelit options are really quite a commitment. you know why women usually decorate the christmas tree? because if a man did they would want to change between colored and white, blinking and non-blinking, mini and jumbo lights at least twice a day. (yes, read in between the lines for not-so-subtle rants of bitterness). maybe its just the cold weather or the shorter days, but i'm feeling pretty lonely lately. i was recently solicited by an m.o.s. (member of the opposite sex) having these same feelings. this individual expressed his loneliness and then asked me to come over and hang out (specified, no sex), because he doesn't like to be alone. (well, duh no does all the time) and really, i try to be sympathetic, but i just don't know if i can let my body and mind be used just to fill a void, without the slightest indication of wanting more [of a defined relationship, not sex]. what am i? a one cuddle-slut? its just not my style. i don't get it. am i alone in this?

ok, enough of that... the good news is thanksgiving is next week, yay for dressing and more football! and just a few weeks after that the lovely tlmc will be coming to stay. i am soooo looking forward to that. and you might notice that i have a new reader (two if you count the troll, whom i love and miss dearly!)

that's all for tonight, send flowers and nice thoughts this way, in the meantime i'm going to have another truffle.
