I've been trying to post this in the TQC community, and for some reason it's not working for me. So, Ill just ask you wonderful folks on my friends list....
Alright, give me your honest opinion. What do you think of a relationship where the age difference is 17 years. (If it matters at all, the female in question is 23. The male in question, 40.)
As far as your own personal relationships, what's the biggest age difference you've experienced?
(As a side note because this is my own personal journal and not the community: Yes the above mentioned 23 year old is me. And I think the 40 year old is one of the most down to earth guys I've ever met, and he's definitely not being a pig. Nothing's happened except for sharing a few drinks. Going out to dinner. Spending one afternoon at the beach. And there's been one kiss. Two of my friends have met him, and adored him. Everyone I've kinda discussed it with has been either "give it a shot, what's it gonna hurt?" or "that guy is a total creep to even be talking to you" So let me have it, be brutally honest....Whatcha think?)

Seeing as I don't update very often...Here's what's been goin' on:
My little white torpedo was in an accident yesterday. I need a new windshield. And passenger sideview mirror. 'Cause I have money for that and everything. :(
Needless to say, I wasn't in the mood to do any 4th of July partying, so I washed up, put on the pajamas and got ready for a nice night alone feeling sorry for my brokeass self.
I've been seeing a really amazing guy for a few weeks now. Mike (For those of you that remember, yea...that Mike...). We have a bajillion things in common. We were both punk rockers as kids, turned classic rock/country nuts. August editions of our graduating class due to stupidity on both of our parts. Renaissance Faire junkies (He's not quite as big into it as I am, but he also wasn't raised around 'em from the time he was 5...). We both like to go out partyin' on the occasion, but for the most part are big into spending the day taking the puppers fun places and relaxing in front of a (hopefully) good movie in the evening. I dunno, things are really really great, and I'm kinda hopeful.
So about Mikey, he wasn't having any of me sitting home alone. He went and rented a movie and came over and hung out. It was really great of him, but I felt awful that he missed partyin up at AOK with all our friends. He didn't seem to mind though, and kept me company 'til about 1 in the morning before heading home.
I am BARELY keeping my head above water financially. But as soon as softballs over (the end of next month) I'm going to get a part time job. I'm pretty much not above doing anything. I'm hoping to land a waitressing spot somewhere, but if McDs is the only place that'll hire me, so be it.
The ex on the other hand is breaking my heart. I'm totally over the fact that we aren't together anymore. It was REALLY hard for the first couple of months, but looking at me now I am soooo much happier with everything. I have great friends, get to see my family LOADS more and am loving life. It kills me to see him falling into this horrible path though. He's selling weed (it's currently the highest quality going around Rome, so he's raking in cash..but EVERYONE--cops included--knows it's him that's selling it). He's currently dating a 90lb, 20yr old stripper. (Yep, she's really a stripper..I'm not just being mean) His friends are all talking about how horrible he's doing behind his back, and I feel bad..I usually tell 'em to shut up. We aren't even really friends anymore because he can't talk to me around her. Someone kicked the window in on his Jetta the other day and surprise! stole all his weed. The radar detector I bought him for his birthday a few years ago (like $300!), and a bunch of other stuff...CDs and playstation games and such. It makes my heart ache how horribly he's doing. Seriously, that's the guy who 2 years ago I was SURE was going to be my husband. I was SURE we were going to have kids together, someday. And, I was SURE he was gonna love these dogs for the rest of their lives (I can't even remember the last time he came to see them...). Everyone tells me to keep my head up, and at least I got out of the situation totally before it got that bad.
The dogs are doing great. Loving the summer weather. They've been swimming and hiking and doing loads of really fun stuff lately. They haven't gotten into any scuffles in probably a month or so.
I guess that's the update on my life...

The Tom Petty show was by far one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen. We actually had covered seats, but we got up to grab some food when Steve Winwood (also pretty amazing) finished playing. Once we were out from under the tent, Ralph realized he lost his ticket, so we couldn't get back undercover and had to enjoy Petty from the lawn. Right as Petty and the Heartbreakers took the stage you could see lightning sneaking up from a distance, and about 4 songs in...the sky just opened up! It poured, the power went out twice. We were soaked, muddy and exhausted from the 5 hours spent tailgating int he parking lot....but the set list, the jam sessions EVERYTHING was just undeniable.
The ride home was rough. It took an hour an hour to even start moving in the parking lost, and we spent the whole ride chasing the storm that had just passed through Darien Lake. We pulled over to sleep at a rest stop for an hour, and by the time we got back to Rome we were absolutely in the thick of the storm. I had to unload the cooler and chairs and everything in a total downpour.
Ugh, now today I have a million things to do. Only one more night off and I head back to work.

*sigh* So I haven't updated in a while. Life has been...pretty okay. I've got great friends and an amazing family. The job is going. The pups are fantastic. I can't really complain.
Tomorrow's going to be really hard though. I'm driving up to Oswego to meet Shaun's wife Sonya and we're going to head up to Sterling and spread some of his ashes. I dunno if I'm strong enough. I know he's been gone for a few years now, but he was my best friend. This is like the final goodbye. In a way I think it'll be good for me. I never really had a chance to come to terms with everything that happened. Seriously, I need to do something. I've gone through at least 3 phones since he's died. I've saved his number in each one. I download the ringtone he's had FOREVER (It's Casey Jones. And it was originally one of those monotones. Technology has changed since then and it's been upgraded to a real tone) and set it to his number. I know full well that it'll never ring, but I do it anyways. I dunno, I miss him so much. But at the same time I hate him for being so fucking selfish. He left behind an amazing wife. An absolutely perfect daughter, who will probably someday lose all memories of the dad that loved her. An angel of a mom (who helped me get through so much of this). And a crew of friends that would have done anything to prevent this from happening.
I dunno, sorry if this doesn't make any sense. My head isn't too clear right now.
Shaun wherever you are...I hate you. I hate you so much sometimes I just want to punch the wall, a window, anything. But in the end, you know I love you. I love you with every piece of my heart. My soul. Best friends, kid. Best friends til the end. I dunno if I believe all that stuff about being able to watch over me, but I guess deep down--I hope you can at least check in from time to time, and say "Damn, that bitch is doin' alright." And just know...every time I hear the Grateful Dead...I think of you. When I go see Ratdog, it's like you're right next to me. And Saturday at Tom Petty, I'm sure I'll feel ya there too. Wharf Rat will always be our song. There's a lot of memories I'm sure I'll lose, but they'll never take that song away from us.
Fuck guys...I'm really not ready to do this tomorrow. I don't think I can.

So today, my mom's Golden Retriever woke up vomiting nasty white foamy stuff. When she took him outside, he couldn't walk and he kept falling over. She wrapped him in a blanket and took him to the vet. He passed on the way there. The vet thinks it was a stroke or maybe some sort of internal tumor he couldn't feel. I don't know, I just know he's gone. And it seems so surreal.
Beau was by no means the perfect dog. He was scared of everyone that wasn't his family. Would not leave the yard. He would literally just collapse and lay there if the gate was open. Getting him in the car always took two or three people. But he was a GREAT dog for me as a child. And my mom after my brother's and I moved outta the house. He stuck so closely by her after she and my stepdad divorced. I just..I dunno--I can't believe it.
RIP Beau. I'll miss you my little scaredy cat.

[04 Apr 2008|10:08pm] |
I spent way too much money this week. $80 at Olympia. New cleats, new batting gloves, and an UnderArmour shirt because the start of practice/the season is fucking cold and those things are AMAZING.
$100 at one of those sex toy parties. And I'm not even getting any action these days. I just got some great smelling sprays (I'm not big on body sprays, but these things are PHENOMENAL!). OMG This AWESOME massage oil (I love giving/getting massages). And this candle that burns soy or something, so it doesn't get SUPER hot that is like a hot massage oil...I can't wait to try that out someday. Oh and I got this stuff that she gives you on a little spoon and you go in the bathroom and put some on your box. Umm, it felt so good that I can only imagine what it'll feel like when I AM getting laid again...so I had to buy that too. No toys for me though. They kinda intimidate me.
In other news: She sprayed this stuff that the smell changes depending on how you sweat/your chemistry or whatever. She sprayed the same stuff on all of us, and nobody smelled the same. By the end of the night a few of the girls smelled amazing. I smelled like the cologne Rocky wears. I didn't buy it, but tonight I am going to bed smelling like that boy...which makes me kinda sad. I miss him, a lot. We were great friends before everything got so complicated. We've been texting back and forth a little bit, but this is the longest we've gone without talking in like...a year. And for the last few months we saw each other every day, so it's definitely an adjustment.
The Yanks are getting their asses handed to them tonight. It's gonna be a long season. But I'm a Bills fan, so I know how to take it.

RIP Sweetheart. I only met you twice, but you left a huge impact on both Jeff and I. That transport was one of Jeff and my first experiences actually hanging out with a pit puppy, and weighed heavily on our decision to adopt one when we wanted a second dog.
I even called Jeff to tell him (we really don't talk much anymore...), and he was pretty upset too.

| An update on Hummer and Jerry. |
[01 Mar 2008|06:55pm] |
Seeing as I haven't said anything in a while, I figured I should update on the Jerry/Hummer situation. Last I posted Hummer was getting EXTREMELY dog aggro with Jerry and their last fight resulted in Jerry having a split tongue. (I don't remember if I wrote the tongue part or not..)
Anyways...since then there has been ZERO fights. (Okay, maybe one. But I had some company and they were eating a sandwich and something fell out of it onto the floor. It was easy to correct, I just used my STERN MOMMY VOICE OF DOOM and seperated them both by their collars. And it was over) Hummer pulls his ears back every once and a while, but quickly gets a 10 minute timeout in his crate. He leaves his timeout a happy, ready to play with his brother kinda dog. I'm still very cautious about leaving them together. Only supervised visits EVER. Feeding time is still seperated, but it always has been (as it should be with most dogs). Life is pretty peaceful.
I'm starting to think a lot of their issues together were because of the 'bad blood' in the house. With Jeff and I fighting a lot. And then the tension when he was in the process of moving out. It's a lot for a dog to process and understand, and I'm almost sure that caused some of the grumpyness on both their ends.
So as of right now, I'm once again living in a peaceful two dog household. I just hope it stays this easy, but I'm always ready.

Don't vote for Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend's wife!

Stimpy passed away a few days ago. :( I didn't have the heart to post it because it's not at all how I envisioned. He was getting weaker. But he was still eating and playing. His breathing sounded good. No lumps and bumps. I assumed it was just old age, and I thought I would have more time.
What makes it worse is I kissed him goodnight the night before, and I awoke to Mocha making a meal out of him. I heard it happens---but I guess I never imagined I would see something like that. I couldn't deal. I quickly got Mocha and Latte out of the cage and put them in a travel cage. I called Jeff (the first time I have really leaned on him for anything since we broke up), and he rushed right over. He helped me wrap him up and we brought him to the same resting place we brought Ren. No easy task in the middle of winter. It took a few hours, but it was worth it to be able to give him the proper resting place he deserved.
I'm pretty heartbroken, and have been trying not to talk about it.
RIP Beautiful Boy. I swear they just don't live long enough...
