I have abandoned Myspace for fb. I attempted to return to Myspace in a fit of aggravation caused by one of fb's rediculous unnecessary changes only to discover they had deleted my photos that I had posted. Well that caused me more aggravation than fb, so I have not used Myspace, and since Google+ is not gaining the popularity I had hoped, I have resigned myself to suffer the constant changes (none for the better mind you, it is less user friendly than it has ever been...and I miss my is.) of fb.
I returned to Myspace this evening to reread those blogs. They are my history, and as such, deserve to be posted in my new blog. So here they be:

I had a marvelous Mothers Day.
It started with breakfast in bed cooked and served by Lici (for those of you don't know my daughter of only 10 years) consisting of scrambled eggs, toaster waffles, and a banana. Layed in bed til 11:30 reading and listening to my girls laugh together hysterically, simply joyful.
Then she gave me a gift of a shrinky dink book mark.
Marlena (my 8 1/2 year old daughter) wrote me the most wonderful letter (in mothers day photo album).
We went on a bike ride to have sushi for lunch, I laid in the sun and journaled and read. Marley made macaroni and cheese for dinner and the piece de resistance, Lici made strawberry shortcake from scratch and even whipped up the whip cream. I wasn't even in the kitchen!!!! And it was marvelously tasty!
We enjoyed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on the tele as we enjoyed her creation.
It was truly a lovely lovely day.

Well, I don't know how to put a pic in this blog so you will have to visit my new pix album to see the result.
My latest creative endeavor has come to full fruition, in fact, I finished it in about 5 hours. I sewed a new comforter cover (if you want to be fancy: a duvet) for my bed. I love it! It turned out fabulous and cost me a minimum amount of money. I even matched up the pattern at the seem (which would have been a bonehead maneuver I would have once done).
It is these kind of accomplishments that remind me of who I am and from where I have come. It is this creativity and having the ability to accomplish the task that reminds me of my parents, and the obvious inherent knowledge that I was so lucky to have bestowed on me. I have realized in the last few weeks, that not only am I capable of following through with my creative ideas but I am also a very clever girl/woman and that smart does not mean you have all the answers but knowing where to get them.
Well, that's my latest epiphany.

Well, I am taking classes in Jitterbug (east coast swing) and Tango and Rumba (sp?)
It was an interesting experience to say the least.
But fun. More women than men in the Jitterbug class (no surprise). And I can definitely appreciate a partner who knows how to lead. I discovered that ballroom dancing (or partner dancing however you want to call it) is much like driving a car. For the man anyway. The man is the driver and the woman is the car. The tighter or stiff the woman is the more she is like a sports car in that she responds with slight adjustments.
So, then there is the Tango. Hmmm, a very seductive dance indeed. In both of these classes the men rotate through dancing with each lady. I ended up dancing with 6 different men. One of which was mid to late forties maybe even fifty and was maybe 5'2" and that's with the 1 1/2 inch of hair on his head. I do have to say he was good at leading, and when I got past the idea of him staring straight at my chest at arms length, could appreciate his capability. I danced with a taller oriental man, taller than me, with bad breath and who was not as good as he thought he was. Had much criticism for me so I had to remind him he was the driver and I only go where he guides me. I mean if you want your car to turn right but you turn the wheel left or you over steer can you blame the car? I think not.
The most surprising part of the class was Tangoing with a 60ish short chinese/cambodian man who was attending with his wife. He was surprisingly good and had the decency to watch his feet. But was much more subtle in his leading but effective. It was interesting to experience a bit of seductiveness from a man such as this, I would never have expected it. I will never underestimate the power of Tango again. LOL.
Of course my favorite partner was the instructor. When lead with an experienced partner you don't even have to hardly think about where to go. He very subtly shifted his hand on my back and I automatically turned and looked to the right. He didn't even tell me that's what he wanted me to do. Fabulous! Not to mention the force or strength that comes from the man's shoulders in the tango is impressive I think that's what turned me on the most.
How dangerous it would be if I was actually dancing with someone I was attracted to.
Yikes, may be too powerful for me. At any rate it is an excellent avenue to channel my dramatic personality. ;-) For all who know me you understand.
Anyway, that's my first lesson, I'll keep you posted

Sooo....
My girls' friends Hannah, Libby and Nikki came to spend the night last night. You can imagine the ongoing drama that ensued.
Hannah and Libby's mom is a good friend of mine and we often catch up with eachother at drop off and pick ups..Last evening was no exception.
so Kirsten and I are chatting away in the hall way. I can hear Nikki calling out from behind one of the closed doors from the hall for one of my daughters. Kirsten and I keep chatting. She calls out again for one of my daughters. This goes on for I don't know how long because I am chatting with Kirsten.
Then Kirsten's daughter with her cell phone in hand politely interrupts us to ask me where we keep the toilet paper. Nikki is on the phone (and on the pot apparently) she needs toilet paper. Oh the poor child, I don't know how long she had been sitting there trying to get someone to help her. Good thing she had her cell on her! What a resourceful young woman! ;-) And here I thought these girls were too young to have cell phones.

OK I have a major complaint to the clothing industry.
Who the hells idea was it to put spandex in jeans and create them into "STRETCH" pants!?!
Okay this is the most rediculous thing I have come across in a long time (i might be exaggerating but can't think of anything else at the moment that might rival it)!
First of all I do not want to put anything on my body that is labeled "stretch" on it. In my opinion, it implies that one needs stretch to fit into a pair of jeans or any other piece of clothing.
Second of all, no manufacturers and I have searched the internet and every store close to me for jeans without "stretch" labeled on it or without some kind of stretch material in it, woops I take that back, the only place I saw a pair were at Walmart of all places and they were that old style that now is called "mommy jeans" which is definitely not my style. I even checked Levi's! Nope they went the stretch route also.
Third of all, and this is the biggie, with in an hour of putting on the perfectly fit jeans that I bought in the store they have stretched out so much that they are falling off me, seriously can be pulled straight down still zipped and buttoned. They are baggy in the derriere and legs and knees. It is sooooo frustrating. I understand that many people like the comfort of jeans that give but oh my goodness it is way too much spandex. Even if I buy a size smaller they still end up out of shape and too big.
Bring back the 100% cotton jeans, I beg you! My body begs you! My wardrobe begs you!
(MARCH 27th, 2012: Just thought I'd update you, I'm soooo grateful there is spandex in my jeans!)

Well, back from the Bitter Ball, and all I can say is San Francisco has it aaaaallllllll over Las Vegas! Went to Vegas last fall and did not have half the attention my girlfriend and I got this evening. 92.7 put on such a great party!!! The crowd was probably 50% gay and 95% of that were gay men and I found them so sensual and affectionate and love just radiated from them and I just soaked it up like the sun.
And then....there was Mr. Candy Pants. I don't think I could describe this heavenly body with any justice. He was definitely hired to work the party and that he did, and he did it well. No older than 22 or so and he made every man and woman feel special, sexy, and wanted. He turned no one down and he danced with all and was very physical, and he actually kissed me a nice soft gentle kiss on the lips with just enough linger for me to bite his lip so gently. He picked up my girlfriend as he was dancing with her and had her straddle his hips and made gyrating motions to the music then had her lay back and arch her back. It was the most incredible vision. We would watch him with other girls without even a jealous tinge because he was not something you could keep to yourself, his gracious attitude was infectious that I realized one could not deny anyone an experience with him and enjoy him. This child has a gift and I thank God for him because he made our evening. He actually came back to dance with us again. :-)
I was asked to dance, I danced by myself, I danced with my girlfriend, I watched gay men passionately kiss all night long, and lesbians caress and kiss, and heteros trying to get into girls' pants. Alot less kissing and affection among the heteros, are we that up tight? Watched many a young girls' bare bottoms and lower fronts revealed because their dress or skirt was just long enough to conceal their crotch so when they bent over, full view or when they were dancing the dress would creep up. So I guess the big attraction now is ass since I saw very little cleavage (but on the occasion that I did see it, there was way too much). Silly little girls.
I felt so sexy and attractive and I was on top of my game of flirting. This was definitely needed for my self esteem. I've still got it. I don't think I ever lost it, it just wasn't paid much attention to. But I digress. SF is the best city in the world (Of the cities I've been to) the only one that might rival would be Mykonos, that was fun. Well, I could go on and on about Mr. Candy Pants...but u get the picture, oh and speaking of pix my camera died so now I have to hunt down the pix he took with the radio stations camera.
My girlfriend and I used to go dancing every week in the city at the Paladium, X, and a couple other clubs whose names escape me, we had always run into wonderful, wild, unpredictable evenings and this evening took me right back to those days. I am totally content... accept for the arousal (overused lately I know but for lack of polite synonym) for which I have no luck.
Good night all!

I am soooo proud of my daughter! She has sold 114 boxes of girl scout cookies so far and counting. She has an absolutely insane goal of 1200 boxes this year so she's almost reached 10% of her goal.
GO LICI!
Some of our ideas for when cookies come in are:
Stock mom's car and write "Girl scout cookies on board" and drive around the mall, and community college parking lots.
Hit some of the more popular night life spots late in the evening when everyone is in a good mood and in the mood for something sweet.
A friends mom wants us to come by her work.
Hit up the tellers at Wells fargo when we make our deposit.
Maybe we could visit the senior center? I don't know if they would want us to do that or not?
Can anyone else think of any practical ways of moving large amounts of girlscout cookies? We are open to any ideas. Thanks

We will board the Horn Blower yacht in S.F. and party till, well until we don't want to party anymore. HaHa!
I can't wait, already thinking bout the outfit.
...And the shoes!

Due to recent budget cuts in the Heim Household, DirecTV service has been postponed until May 31st. Thought my kids would drive me crazy, but instead, they are doing their projects for school on the weekend. This would never happen before. And they are playing with toys and each other. Shoulda done it a long time ago, but I didn't want to give up my shows. But I can get those of Netflix (much more budget friendly!) And the girls aren't deprived of water cooler talk since they watch alot at their dad's house.
I am so pleased. I didn't realize what an energy suck it really was, and I don't miss it either.
The girls are being such good sports about it too. They haven't even mentioned missing it.
Anyway, there is my latest epiphany.
(March 27th 2012, Turns out they were just being patient...they missed it terribly. Thank goodness Netflix came out with streaming.)
Well, here goes. I am separating from my husband of 11 1/2 years and I am heartbroken. This could not have been avoided, not a decision I take lightly and did give it a chance but didn't play out as I had hoped only left my hopes dashed and my heart broken. Sooo, I am having a pity party today. Although, I did fix my own dishwasher today. AND, I fixed my own leaky faucet last month and cut my water bill by 1/3. Woohoo! Well, I could go on and on and vent and vent but won't make a difference and make me look very negative. Sooo, been spending the day doing short quick chores, loading all my CDs onto my new IPOD and playing video poker. Frustrated that I can't add pix to my site cuz some stupid Adobe program took over my computer and I cant' get the pix out. Ugggghhhh!
Anyway, hope y'all havin' a better day than me!
(March 27th 2012, since this post, I have fixed 6 broken sprinkler heads, the dish washer several times, the dryer, the washer, calked my tub (but I will never do that again), my leaky kitchen sink several times, laid new irrigation, loaded up 4 Christmas trees onto the top of the car and moved them into the house and back out of the house, and successfully plunged toilets umpteen times.)

It is a today only opportunity.
