Tackle Twill Numbers Giveaway

Tackle twill (sew on numbers, sew on lettering) is a form of appliqué. Although most commonly seen in combination with embroidery and embroidered patches on sports team uniforms and jerseys (consisting of the team logo, player’s name, and number), it is also used to customize hoodies, sweatshirts, tote bags, varsity jackets and cheerleading uniforms.

My friends at Crooked Brook have many tackle twill numbers in various fonts, colors and sizes that were extras, mistakes or have slight imperfections and will randomly choose two tackle twill numbers as giveaways.

These are perfect for customizing one of the kids hoodies or sweatshirts, and can be sewn onto a garment with a zigzag, satin or double running stitch. You can turn your little sports fan’s plain sweatshirt into a “jersey” just like the pros wear.

Today’s tackle twill give away is two, Varsity font, 7”, white on black, numbers, value…$17.00.  Winner can request the 2 numbers that they want, provided Crooked Brook has them, if not, they will have to choose from what is available.

Awesome, right?!?

Disappointed Tonight - Spicy Saturday

I'm sad tonight. My husband and I haven't had any time together this past week. We've been crazy busy! Don't get me wrong, we've still fit in lots of sex but not a lot of cuddling and taking our time.  He worked both days last weekend and was supposed to have them both off this weekend. We have been making plans all week.  It's been fun. We've been texting each other idea of things we wanted to do. Fun things....sexy things.....using our new EdenFantasys purchases type things....awesome!!

But this morning that all changed. He woke up with a stuffy nose. As the morning went on it got worse and a sore throat started too.  SAD!  He's been texting me tonight and he's feeling even worse. He's still off tomorrow and Sunday but since he's sick our plans are probably out the window.  I'm disappointed!

I told him I could be his nurse and take care of him all weekend.  He liked that.  I wish I would've know this was going to happen. I could've ordered a nurse's outfit to wear.  He would probably really like the naughty nurse costume.  Of course, then he'd be tempted to do things he shouldn't be doing while he's sick!

Hopefully he'll be feeling better soon & we'll get to do all those fun things we have on our list! Until then I need to be a good wife and concentrate on taking care of him. And maybe sneak in a little time to enjoy some of my sex toys myself to take the edge off!

Feeling Very Down Tonight

Gosh, my hormones must really be out of whack!  I am feeling very down, blue, sad, depressed, hormonal, menopausal, lonely, weepy, and any other sad word you can think of.  I've literally been crying off and on all evening long.  I hate this!

Even though I really think it is just my hormones I start going through reasons why I'm sad.  I miss my husband because he's been working a lot, we haven't gotten to text much while he's at work, I miss our daughter who is away at college, I'm stressed about a big decision I need to make, my husband and I haven't had much "cuddling" time recently.  The list can go on and on.  But honestly, even those things are bugging me they shouldn't be making me cry this much.  It's crazy!  I suppose that is where the hormones & menopause come into the picture.

I've been trying to just take really good care of myself tonight.  I'm blessed that I don't have to work or really have any major responsibilities.  I've been letting myself cry as much as I need to, lots of crocheting, reading, and catching up on television shows.  Unfortunately, that isn't helping too much.  Maybe I need a few more days of just babying myself.

The hard thing is going to be when my husband gets home from work.  He's so sweet and will probably be able to tell right away that I've been crying.  He'll ask what is wrong and I don't know what I'm going to say.  Probably just that my hormones are out of whack.  I really hate to load all of this stuff on his shoulders.  He shouldn't have to worry about me all the time.  He shouldn't feel like my happiness depends on if we've had much time together, if we have texted any, or if we've been having lots of sex.  He has a lot of things on his shoulders and even though they are nice and broad I shouldn't heap more on to them!

Hopefully writing here will help me.  I struggle with thinking things are terrible when I'm hormonal like this.  I read serious problems into little things.  I don't want to do that this time.  I just want to realize that it's hormones, that I need to really pamper myself for awhile, and that I'll be feeling better before I know it!

Live in Love

Thanks for the guest post by Eugene Fulton

Being a good live-in girlfriend is hard, you know what I mean? I try not to let it get overwhelming but sometimes I just get really stressed having to worry about my house and keeping Greg happy at the same time. I have a 40 hour a week job just like anyone else and it’s tough having to worry about a boyfriend who’s not just a roommate but someone I love as well. For example, the other day he asked me to go to http://www.cannonsatellite.com to look into satellite TV and I just forgot – he wasn’t mad at me but I know he was disappointed that I hadn’t helped him. There’s nothing about being a girlfriend that I find easy and maybe it’s because we’re not right together or that I’m not ready but I really want to make this work and I’m going to have to try hard to be a better partnerfor him. I want to stay living together but at this rate I don’t know where we’ll be in a few months.

Adult Toy Shoppe's Floral Wonder Vibe Review

I have recently been invited to begin reviewing items from The Adult Toy Shoppe. I love their website. It is very female friendly.  They even offer multiple sex toy guides, which are very informative and helpful.  As with most shops of this nature, all packaging and billing is completely private and discreet.

The item they sent for me to try out is the Floral Wonder Vibrator.  The first thing I noticed after taking it out of the packaging was that it was very pretty.  Not completely necessary, of course, but very much appreciated!  The vibrations are strong and you even have your choice of a few different settings.  I would recommend this vibrator and like it very much!  Isn't it pretty?!?

Of course, there are many other vibrators to choose from on their site! I'm sure you will find one, or more, that you really want!  Have fun!

Downsizing

Thanks for the article from Isaiah Gaines

Well, this move has been nothing short of exhausting. We downsized from a townhouse in Manhattan to a one bedroom in the Upper East Side and are thrilled to have less to clean and more trees to see. In the midst of packing, moving, unpacking and organizing, it slipped our minds that we’d need to get the heat turned on. The first few days of moving were rather warm, not to mention that we sweat through our t-shirts lifting boxes up the brownstone stairs. So, when we settled in on Saturday night to watch a DVD (no cable yet) and drink wine, we found ourselves chilly and unable to warm our feet. I, of course, went to NEWYORKenergyRATES.com right away, but they couldn’t come out to hook things up until Thursday! So, here we are, bundled under blankets and drinking hot tea after dinner every night to stay warm. Next time we move (which will hopefully be, um, never) I’ll pay more attention to necessary utilities than making sure my Kate Spade china makes it safely into the dining room. Who are we kidding? You know me better than that.

Rabbits Anyone? Spicy Saturday!

I have really been enjoying the friendship I'm forging with EdenFantasys! Their website is great.  They offer lots of outstanding sales all the time. They have a wide variety of items.  And everything I've ever gotten from them has been of the highest quality!



Today I want to talk about vibrators. They are a standard for any woman interested in purchasing a sex toy.  They're great because you can use them alone but you can also have your husband or significant other use them on you as well.  It's always interesting to me how differently he does it than from how I do it!

I noticed on EdenFantasys that they have all their rabbit vibrators on sale for 25% off!!  What a great deal! Plus, the Couture and L'amour ones are even 30% off.  Head on over and check them out.  If you like vibrators, or have never even tried one, the rabbit style are especially great because of the dual stimulation!
