Happy Speed Racer...Uh, Mother's Day
 

It's Mother's Day here in the US, which means a family dinner for us. My mother-in-law recently purchased a new house with her boyfriend of many years and with this new house came the ability to join a country club. Not really my thing but he loves it and wanted to take my mother-in-law, her mother and his mother to eat brunch there today. Since we usually do a meal with moms from both of the families we joined them with my mom and brother. I'm not sure I ate my $25 worth but the food was good and the kids heeded my warning about being grounded for a week if they burped at the table.

After food, my real mother's day present began...we went to see Speed Racer. I'm probably not really the person to listen to since I love all things Speed Racer. I got a Lego set of the Mach 5 for my mother's day present after all. If you're reading reviews of this movie and they tell you it's bad, just ignore them. Speed Racer the movie is total fun...it's not deep or meaningful...just fun. If you've seen the cartoon you'll know what to expect with this movie, but with better special effects. The only thing that could have made it better would be to have an IMAX theater in my town. I'll be buying the extra spiffy edition DVD of this one when it comes out.

Here's to all you moms. Hope you had a good day.

A Long Night
 

My daughter spent the night awake with a horrible earache. Off to the doctor this morning for some antibiotics. She was diagnosed with bronchitis, sinus infection and otitis media, hence one sick pumpkin. Even the midnight run for eardrops was not helpful.

So after the doctor visit we wound up with a nice long nap. Both of us badly needed it. Another weekend of resting up. Missed the Mother Daughter Tea today, but oh well, this way I got out of actually ironing. Something that I do very rarely.

Now back to our updates and tonight's gives you plenty of room to catch up on any you may have missed earlier in the week. Enjoy!

Home
 

I survived Special Olympics although I didn't get my no mud wish. Wednesday the kids ran their relay race in the drizzling rain. We counted ourselves lucky, however, because Wednesday afternoon Oklahoma City was hit by some severe weather. Mom even took the kids into the hall closet. Poor Cal was so scared he was shaking.

Thursday's weather was rain free but we had the lovely after-effects of rain...mud. I was prepared with plastic bags for our slog through Olympic Village. My kid took his shoes off to go through the inflatable obstacle course and I didn't let him put them back on until we had exited Swamp Olympic Village. His feet were filthy but socks and shoes were relatively dry.

We managed to make it through all two hours of our Y swim party. No lightning or pool accidents drove us out and the kids were ready for sleep when we returned to the dorms. I love a swimming night that goes well...no showers!

Today we packed everything back up, hung out at a lovely pond on the OSU campus and ate lunch at Hideaway Pizza. I had a much better time this year since last year by the time we hit Hideaway I was well on my way to being sick. The only thing I remember about that lunch was sitting in misery wishing it were over and we were on our bumpy bus ride home. Today though I had a good time with the kids and even read some comics on the trip home.

Now I'm back and pooped. So pooped that I'm amazed I wrote all of the above. If some of it doesn't make that much sense, you'll understand why.

Another day of my ramblings. So anyone else have anything to share? You know we welcome folks to come ramble for us anytime.

Until then back to the updates with the good news that Tamara returns tomorrow.

Odd Spring
 

Seems this years cold spring has brought more than the average share of unhealthy days with it. Home all day today taking care of the kiddo. To bad the Wii wont appear until tomorrow or Friday. Oh well, on to health we go. Tamara is off having fun at the Oklahoma Special Olympics. An event she volunteers for yearly. Today is opening ceremonies and I think the rain may have subdued the excitement a tad bit.

Enough of my rambling, back to your updates. Enjoy them!

Tuesday
 

The week seems to be flying by. Not due to anything special other than me watching time slip away hoping for the arrival of my new Wii so I can become one of the addicted. Unlike many I don't have cable or any basic tv access. We currently play DVDs only, so this will be a big change.

I rarely use the television currently and that's all coming to an end. So I wait. Good news though, my new toy should arrive tomorrow or Thursday and since I'll be without my online chatting partner I'll have something dandy to do! Tamara leaves for the Oklahoma Special Olympics in the morning, hence you all are stuck with me for a couple of days.

So off you go and enjoy those updates.

Wii
 

I officially did it...yep, I'm soon to become one of those addicted. I've waited a while, but finally broke down and joined the herd. I even bought that Mario Kart game. I am just another consumer. But hey...our economy in this country can use my money. So that's it...I'm helping out our country. All in the name of consumerism.

Now back to your regularly scheduled updates, enjoy 'em.

Movie Day
 

Went to see Iron Man the movie today. This comic book geek thought it was a lot of fun. If you're of a mind to see this, hang around until after the credits for an extra fun scene.

Cold Shower
 

Yippee...a non PG ramble from Black Cherry!
She knows I'm watching...so she puts on a little show. She comes out of the shower, all wet and wrapped up in a towel....but she pulls it off, and dries herself, taking it slow. She caresses her skin with the soft billowy towel. She enjoys the feel of the terry on her skin, she breathes in and out with hedonistic enjoyment. She checks herself out in the mirror; turning back and forth to check her frame. Cups her ass cheeks, smacks them checking for firmness. My mouth goes dry. She moves her hands up and down her body, caressing, cupping her breasts, playing with her nipples, making them hard. She brushes tendrels of her long, soft hair over her breasts, she runs her fingers through her mane, and shakes it, and I throb. She is making me nuts, and I want to do things to her....so I step inside the room. My boots clunk on the floor, and she turns. She sees me, my leather, my tools: rope, handcuffs, floggers, candles, my toys: harness, dildos, lube, spreaders and my wicked, wicked grin. She smiles. I enter.

Hot
 

Gotta love that Oklahoma spring weather. A high of 88 (31C) today and tomorrow we'll be in the 70s (21C). Next week I make my annual trip to the Oklahoma State Special Olympics summer games. Send good thoughts my way for no 88 degree days. I could also do with not repeating last year's mud wallow. Rain, rain, stay away....

Online Garage Sales
 

I've been doing some spring cleaning around the ol' house. Ebay has been my method for getting rid of a few things. So far I've been pretty lucky with all but one item selling. E convinced me to put some of my comic book trades that I no longer want up at Amazon. That's been amazing. No fuss with putting them up and they only charge you when the item sells. That's my kind of online selling. Now if I can get some of Cal's toys he no longer plays with posted, sold and out the door before he notices....
