Maybe I'm back

Whew, after almost of MONTH of being sick, I am hopefully going to be back to regular blog posts now. I have to view some movies to review and then Wednesday posts will be back. I do not recommend to anyone that they get an upper respiratory infection. It is the worst.

Still Sick

So sorry I haven't picked up the pace yet. I've been sick for going on 3 weeks now. I am finally on the mend, but still out of it enough that it is hard for me to be out of bed for very long. I am hoping next week I will be back 100%. Posts will resume on schedule eventually.

Buying Sex Toys From Amazon.com

Pro's:

-Lots of variety
-Low prices
-Sometimes free shipping
-Convenience
-You don't run the risk of hitting a bugged site and getting ad-ware installed on your machine

Con's:

If anything goes wrong with the order you have to talk to support people and you just know they are looking at your order history and laughing at you. Or judging. If you order from a straight up sex toy website they expect you to order things like that. However Amazon support probably doesn't. They may even go home and laugh about what you ordered to their family and friends! Terrifying. So does that out-weight all of the pro's? Possibly.

Sick Day

When your significant other gets sick, here are a few suggestions to help them feel better:

-If possible work from home or skip a day of work to stay with them. That way you can be there if they need a cup of tea or if they run out of tissues.

-If they have pets, take care of them. It is super unpleasant to take a dog for a walk when you have the flu.

-Take them tea, soup, and orange juice throughout the day. They need fluids and often if a person has to get up to get that stuff themselves, they won't, because they feel so crappy.

-Drive them to the doctor, if they have to go. Nobody wants a sick person driving themselves on the road.

-Clean! Disinfect everything they touch like the light switches, lamps, toilet, sinks, shower, door knobs - everything. Change the bedding as well, so the sick germs don't linger in the bed. Do laundry.

-Make sure you have a stack of chick flicks and fluff literature on hand to help distract from feeling crappy. When I'm sick I like to watch Gilmore Girls or Friends. Though today I am sickly and I've been on a My Boys kick.

-Back rubs and massages are great all the time, but especially when your entire body is aching.

-Don't get bent out of shape if your sickly significant other is whiny and ill-tempered. That is just the illness talking and they don't mean it.

If this post sounds whacko, it is probably because I am writing it as I am sick. So take it from me, this list is a great idea.

So Sick

Sorry about the lack of update. Don't expect anything until Monday because I am very ill with some horrible sickness. I am hoping to be back to normal soon, though. And then back to regular postings.

You are welcome.

Winter Flower, originally uploaded by Alaska Mom.

The forward violet thus did I chide,
Sweet thief, whence didst thou steal thy sweet that smells,
If not from my love's breath? The purple pride
Which on thy soft check for complexion dwells,
In my love's veins thou hast too grossly dyed.
The lily I condemned for thy hand,
And buds of marjoram had stol'n thy hair,
The roses fearfully on thorns did stand,
One blushing shame, another white despair:
A third nor red, nor white, had stol'n of both,
And to his robbery had annexed thy breath,
But for his theft in pride of all his growth
A vengeful canker eat him up to death.
More flowers I noted, yet I none could see,
But sweet, or colour it had stol'n from thee.

-William Shakespeare

Cock Rings

Ever tried a cock ring to spice up your sex life? According to Wikipedia the cock ring is a sex tool placed around a man's penis. It is designed to slow blood flow from an erect penis, thus causing the erection to last longer. Very useful!

And did you know that there are quite a few cock rings out that have an added feature to pleasure women? They have vibrators and little flaps that will, theoretically, hit a woman's clitoris while you're having sex. Check out these bad boys:

-Adam and Eve Couple's Enhancer Ring

-California Exotics Dual Clit Flicker Cock Ring

-Buzzy Bunny Cock Ring

-Big O Vibrating Ring

This is all quite new to me, but I am having a great time researching and learning about different kinds of cock ring. The silicon kind I can understand, but it seems to me like the metal kind would be uncomfortable, don't you think?

If you're thinking of getting a cock ring and you want to also get something to pleasure a lady, maybe think of checking out one of the types I listed above. I have tried California Exotics Dual Clit Flicker Cock Ring and it was a LOT of fun.

It's Complicated

I just finished watching this movie and I think I already want to watch it again. Can you beat a romantic comedy starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, AND John Krasinski (just so you know, he totally steals every scene he is in)? I'd really like to see someone try it. I honestly can't think of another movie that has so much talent put together where the actors don't try to out act each other, but they just enjoy the process and have fun. So definitely get this movie and watch it with your lovely. You will be so happy you did.

My recommended menu:

Menu

Appetizer

Cheese Croquettes

Main Course

Roast Chicken

Vegetarian Main Course

Basic Oven Baked, Marinated Tempeh

Sides

Creamy Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Sauteed Bacon and Steamed String Beans

Dessert

Chocolate Croissants (not as complicated as Jane makes in the movie, but you will probably appreciate getting to eat them faster)

New Year's Resolution for Better Romance

Winter Romance#2, originally uploaded by Craig's Making Pictures.

It's a new year, a fresh start to kicking off new and exciting things in the romance department. Want to make a resolution to be more romantic, but have no idea where to start? Here are my suggestions:

-Do a weekly dinner and a movie night. Check out my Wednesday posts for inspiration on what to watch or what to cook.

-Plan at least one out-of-the-ordinary romantic outing or event every month. Try a romantic picnic, a romantic walk, or a sexy massage!

-Give thoughtful just-because gifts to show her that you care.

-Remember to make plenty of small gestures every week, if not every day.

-Make sure that you have time to really talk every single day. Communication is probably the single more important element to any relationship. Set aside time to talk about anything and everything every single day. It'll make you both feel better and it will strengthen your relationship.

Try these suggestions and you will start off 2011 with a wonderful budding romance, that I predict will blossom over the course of the year. Go get started right now!

Happy New Year!
