The latest 411

WHEW!
Sorry I've been so absent latley.
Just a little on what I've been up to for the past two weeks...

Well... I made it down to the "Perverts Saloon" for the blog reading event 2 weeks ago in NYC. It's about a 100 mile trip for me to the city but Metro North made it a very relaxing train ride. I took the afternoon and next day off from work, hopped the train in the early evening and made it down in plenty of time to have a light dinner and try to make hotel reservations for the evening. To my, not so much surprise, the price for ONE evening was well over 400 bucks at every one I tried. I had just refinanced my current mortgage and had a little cash left in my account so I decided to say "fuck it" and put it on my card. the problem I had was that all my card payments were late because I knew they were going to be paid off with the new refi. so none of them would go through. Really about the only bummer that occured for the night.
In any case,, I had a great time. It was nice to meet some of my fellow pervert bloggers and get the hell away from town for a night. It's the first real night out by myself I've taken in about 3 years. Everyone was so much fun and the reading was exciting. All in all it was a very nice evening. My only regret was that I had to catch a train back. I would have had a fun time if I had the chance to stay the night.

I kinda took the day off because I knew that when I went back to work on Wed. I'd be working non stop for probably the whole summer. One of the guys I work with retired and another broke his leg so we're covering the shifts by doing overtime. It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that all the other guys work 4, 10 hr days so when they work one extra day they still have 2 days off. I work the restaurant on Fri. and Sat. so my only day off on Sun. is covering the other shift. Fridays suck the most because I work 7-3, drive an hr home and go to work at 5 till 10. I asked the boss, (restaurant) if I could have Fri. off because I have to work there for Easter which is a 12 hr day. At least I get to go home Fri. and chill for the evening. It's gonna be a hell of a summer! The state doesn't work so fast and we don't think that position will be filled till probably August or September. Oh well,, at least it's extra money!

Speaking of extra money..
I had a pretty fuckin' great week as far as finances go. It was my anniversary on tuesday, 18 years. I called ahead for 18 roses to be delivered to the house that day and (jokingly), said that we had a rough year in there and it would be funny to put a black one with the bunch to throw her off. They said, sternly, "Oh NO! we can't do that, it's against the law"!
I thought she was kidding and she repeated it,, "In this state they consider it to be a death threat to send someone black roses. We could get in a lot of trouble" I'd never heard of that before and I work full time in a state prison! Huh? Learn something new every day.

Anyway,, On my way home I picked up some cash from the bank, (that extra I had in the account) and called and asked the florist if I could pay cash for them when I got back to town and please not charge my card,,(which is now paid off btw). She said no prob and she'd see me in an hr.
I stopped for a coffee on my way home and bought a 10 dollar scratch off ticket and low and behold,,, I won ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!
WOOHOOOOO! When I got home and opened the mail I had an overpayment check from my car loan for 864 bucks as well. WOOOHOOO AGAIN!
Great day.
I took my wife out for dinner which was the first time in 2 yrs we've been out. Ya know how hard it is to get a sitter for 5 kids? The oldest are capable but when they're alone they get on the computer and forget about the whole world. My 3 yr old gets into everything. It was a nice night out. We went to a nice steak house that just reopened under new management but little did we know the new clientele was gay. It didn't bother me, it just took me by surprise. It used to be a posh place where businessmen and politicians hung out. For what it was worth, dinner was just as good.

My wife wanted to have another drink somewhere else so we stopped at a bar we used to go to years ago. They had "Quickdraw" there and... Low and behold again...
I hit for 114 bucks! DAMN!
Don't think I didn't play Mega-millions the next day. (Since then, I hit.. 2 bucks. I'll take it!)

Now think about this,,,
Wife got a dozen and a half roses,, gave her 500 dollars, took her to dinner, took her for drinks and when we went to bed that night..... "Honey, I'm buzzed, leave me alone"

FUCK! Can this get any more pathetic?!

I'm gonna go fuck someone soon. I can't take this much longer.
I went out and bought a new 32" TV yesterday. She said we could have used the money for Easter. I told her I wanted it,, SO THERE! Besides, I gave her money.
I'm still waiting for MY anniversary present and will probably still be waiting till next year.
AND IT DOESN'T COST A THING! GGRRRRrrrrrrrr!

That about sums up why I haven't been around.

So again, sorry for not being present lately.
I'm going to be pretty busy for the next few months so I'll try to get back to posting once in a while when I can find the time. With the lack of anything to compare to I'll have plenty of fantasies running through my perverted mind for a while.

I hope you all have a nice spring.
