I'm a Fisherwoman!!! (As long as someone throws them all back in!)

I went fishing again today with The Meat, and this time I caught three, yes THREE, fish!!! I was so excited!!! I still AM so excited!!! First I caught two Goby's - which The Queen says are worthless since they aren't natural to Lake Michigan. But that was because of some people way back when, bringing them over from Asia or something like that. But it ISN'T the fault of the Gobies I caught! The Meat usually throws the Gobies that he catches onto the cement for the seagulls to get. But then the poor fish either dies of suffocation or is eaten alive! That's so terrible!!!!!!! He threw my first Goby over like that but I looked at the poor thing struggling to breath and MADE him go get it and throw it back in the water. I really would have picked it up myself and saved it if he had waited three seconds longer. That is just so mean! So he didn't argue with me about the next two Gobies that we caught, one each, and he nicely returned them to the water. The first picture here (on the right) is of one of the Gobies we caught!!! It's so cute!!!

We fished for probably close to two hours. He actually handed me the rod all the time, so that I fished much more than him. He wanted me to experience it. I got pretty good at casting out, if I don't say so myself :) I was able to consistently get pretty far out. And The Meat said that my technique was improving fast! So, after all that time and catching three Gobies total, The Meat told me to cast out once more and then we'd take off. And I caught a Rock Bass!!! How exciting is that!!! I reeled it in, at least to the top of the water, but then The Meat had to grab the line and pull it up. It seemed way heavier on the line than it was when I held it - yes, I didn't mention that I HELD IT! Just with my thumb and first finger, and for a picture, but still, it was the first time I've held a fish! I felt cool! I named it 'Rocky' before I threw it back in! I hope Rocky is having a good night and doesn't fall for the fake worm again :) Oh - and the second picture (on the left) is a closeup of me holding Rocky!

Now for the update on the porn script! We have a couple wonderfully cheesy and suggestive names so far: Richard "Dick" Gazinja (and just in case anyone doesn't know, the "j" is pronounced like a "y" - and then it's very Eastern European!) and Helen Bedd. I like! Oh, and possibly a girl with the last name of 'Head' - who makes a mistake in her law school class and asks the teacher if there's anything she can do for extra credit. "Well, Ms. Head...."

I saw MWFB right when The Meat and I got back from fishing!!! I had ALMOST missed him, so the timing was so perfect! I showed him the picture of me holding the fish and it took awhile for him to believe it. I had to show him more than one picture, and swear that it was really me holding a live fish! He's so funny, I LOVE when I see him, and especially when he suddenly drops by! It makes my whole day, seriously!!! I walked him downstairs and we chatted and laughed, and gave each other hugs goodbye - I still always get the hug wrong, cause I'm used to going over - around the neck - but with him, he has to go over and I have to go under, and then he's so silly and does a silly leg hook!! Have I mentioned how he makes me laugh!!!! He's just wonderful!!!

And then, I hung out for a bit with The Meat and The Queen, and then Florida Girl and Mr. Asparagus came by - they were helping The Meat out with a class. I wanted to hang out with them a little more, but they had to prepare. And silly Mr. Asparagus was so serious about it - highlighting stuff in the fact scenario and reading it over in another room so he wasn't distracted - he makes me laugh!!! Still, it was fun seeing them for a bit. I so miss having Florida Girl around every day. I am still in withdrawal (sp?). I miss her! But I like that I can call her anytime and she's happy to talk to me and not too boringly busy. :) They are going to have no choice but to hang out with me now and then! No choice!!! And I will gladly go to a bar and watch football with them anytime - I love that!!! Or just watch football with them at their place, even though I may get tipsy, and happily so. For hints to them when they read this - I'll watch football or any other sport, I'll go out to Fitzgerald's, since I've wanted to go for a year now, or I'll do anything else fun or even not fun! :) I just like hanging out with them sometimes, since I have so much fun being with them!! But, also for them - I hope I don't sound like an obsessive stalker here! Cause I'm not, I swear! I just love you both! And you're my friends!

Tonight, when I was almost home, Warsteiner called. I let it go to voicemail and called him back when I got home. He sounded so down. He worked almost the whole weekend. He stayed there all night on Friday and on Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m., he slept for two hours and then continued working the rest of the day. And it was the same thing on Saturday night, except he went home for a few hours. The big change-over was supposed to happen over the weekend, but he said that when they were all finished and the bigwigs came to look at it and test it, they didn't like part of it somehow, so now they have to do a lot of it all over again, just in some different way. So now, according to him, they should have it ready on Friday and then have all weekend to test and perfect it. I asked him about five times whether he was FOR SURE coming to the Sox game with me on Friday, and he assured me, unconditionally, that he was coming and so so so looking forward to it. He sounded so down and blue. I told him I would kidnap him if he even thought of standing me up. But I don't think that will be necessary. I think he'll come, and be so excited about it. He needs some fun and a night out!

It has been only two and a half weeks since I've had sex. It seriously seems like so much longer...

How I Feel

"I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved."

"Desire is an entirely free sensation, loose in the air, vibrating, filling life with the will to have something..."

- Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho

Quotes That Touch and Inspire Me

♥ I think that the most beautiful women I've ever met are the ones that know who they are, have stories to tell, ideas to share, wisdom to impart and love the skin they're in. No one can love us as we love ourselves. No one can take away our beauty and our dignity when we own those things. To me confident=beautiful. :: CeeCi

♥ I'd been feeling a little blue (for no particular reason) when I began thinking about things like attention, age and body image. Suddenly, it washed over me. I see people looking at me and I see them reacting. I began thinking about the times I notice the attention and realized its the days I'm strutting, the days I'm open and holding my head up. This got me to thinking further. How I perceive myself is what I show to others...People don't realize it, but they show the world everything about themselves in the way they move and act, in the words they say and the way they say them. A little confidence can lead to a lot of confidence. :: CeeCi

♥ When we believe in ourselves the world is an entirely different place and our place in it feels right and happy and healthy. :: CeeCi

♥ Remember that something incredibly wonderful is always possible!

♥ There are moments that are wonderful, if you let them be.

♥ Being distrustful put me in a very lonely place, a place filled with doubt and hypervigilance. I'm grateful I've learned to trust again, because in learning to do it, I learned to trust myself. :: CeeCi

♥ We're all a work in progress. I believe we will be until the day our lives end. Why fight it? I love the changes I experience. Some are certainly easier and more enjoyable than others, yet I wouldn't stop the process for any thing in the world. :: CeeCi

♥ We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss the chance to see a rainbow on the way :: Gloria Gaither

♥ Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed :: Storm Jameson

♥ Love is everything. It is the reason we are here, and the wonder we take with us wherever we go.

♥ Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow :: Mary Anne Radmacher

♥ Just live in the moment, the moment you're in. Don't live two days from now. Don't live two hours in advance. Live now. And appreciate what you have now. Don't go any further. You have this moment. This second. Breathe it. Enjoy it. Live in it. :: Open Eyes

♥ Leap, and the net will appear.

♥ I've learnt that when we express our deepest feelings, even though we may stammer or be unable to find the right words, it always pays. It pays to be authentic.

♥ There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness :: Carl Jung

♥ I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, love is stronger than death :: Robert Fulghum

♥ You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens. :: Ethel Barrymore

♥ Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. :: Carl Jung

♥ I will try to be as honest as I can with myself. That is all that is required of me. I'll keep admitting and opening my hidden box of fears, hurts and insecurities, again and again, until I know each one of them by their first name. :: Anu

♥ It struck me that there is amazing beauty everywhere. Does it matter where you are or who we're encountering? There is magic all around us. The fact that we're alive, the fact that we're living in this place and time. The fact that we've met the people we've met, all of it, every bit of it, only contributes to the wonder that is life. :: CeeCi

♥ No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the starts, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. :: Helen Keller

♥ Half of doing anything is believing that you can.

♥ Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that he can subsequently open the door through which he wants us to go. :: Catherine Marshall

♥ Even if it burns a little low at times, the secret of life is to always keep the flame of hope alive.

♥ The three grand essentials of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.

♥ Some people will say that you are going the wrong way, when it is simply a way of your own.

♥ Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. :: Martha Graham

♥ Life is a series of new beginnings, and in every ordinary moment there are a thousand miracles to behold.

♥ Don't let the approval of others determine your belief in yourself.

♥ When it's all said and done, when all the opinions have been uttered, preached, shouted, and shared, there is only one thing we can do: From this moment on...love.

♥ When you're stuck in a spiral, to change all aspects of the spin you need only to change one thing. :: Christina Baldwin

♥ You have to look for the joy. Look for the light of God that is hitting your life, and you will find sparkles you didn't know were there.

♥ Be the change you wish to see in the world... :: Gandhi

♥ Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

♥ We each have only a limited amount of time here. We have to do more with it - pay attention, explore, be open to all of life. Because we have only one chance, we have to make life seem longer than it really is. :: Viggo Mortensen

♥ Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. :: Cadet Maxim

♥ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!

♥ What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? :: Unknown

♥ To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. :: David Viscott, M.D

♥ Right now it feels like:...no dream will ever remain unfulfilled...no desire will ever remain unanswered...no tear goes unnoticed and no effort wasted...the hills are alive and so are we...each moment is fresh and waiting to happen...and there will be garbage like situations all around...but it is upto us to light mud lamps in it...and glow in our own acceptance and appreciations... :: Anu

♥ I struggle with not feeling like I'm good enough at times. Usually, its because I'm pushing it too hard and have depleted my reserve. Yet, I know without a shadow of a doubt that no matter how heavy or thin, how young or old I appear to others it's what I feel on the inside that glows through. If I could give every person on this planet just one gift it would be the unwavering knowledge that they are beautiful and worthy of every good thing the universe holds. :: CeeCi

♥ It's easier to buy into the negative things we conjure about ourselves than the positive things. Knowing that is the first step towards changing the thoughts that keep us unhappy. With time moving forward, why stay trapped in the past? All we have is right here and right now, I intend to make the most of it! :: CeeCi
