Ok well I have been pretty terrible at posting for the last while…..I put it down mainly to pure unadulterated laziness! Anyway I have written out “I will be better at this” 100 times below and resolved to be more consistent with my posting. I’m also going to have a few changes around the place, in the hope that this will encourage me to be better! So to start with, we have a new theme which has lots of pretty colours. . Let’s see what will happen from here…

9.25.9 - Friday Night Blues

I can’t say that I behaved myself Friday night at Red River. I only danced with Aldine, the cowboy from the week before who I ran out on after getting him all worked up. While driving to the club I was so nervous. Daisy had chosen the outfit: my new pair of Levis that hug my curves like a second skin, my custom belt buckle, ropers, and a tiny tight white spaghetti strap tank. My long blonde hair was full with volume and slightly curly from being in a braid all day. I looked incredible. The butterflies donned flaming wings that night as I walked through the doors. I could feel eyes on me as I approached the bar and waited several minutes for a single beer. The line for the bar was 4 deep, the chicks infront of me ordering several fruity mixed drinks. When I ordered a single bud light I believe I saw the waitress sigh with relief. I was going to just walk for a bit as the djs were on their raunchy and classic songs binge. After pushing my way through the lines of the bar I stopped to tuck the change back into my pockets. When I looked up I saw Aldine grinning at me. I felt myself blushing, the heat rising to the my cheeks. Daisy crooned as I looked over him. He was built thick and lean at the same time, taller than me with huge arms. When he waved I remembered how great those hands felt on my hips and crawling across my stomach. I made my way toward him and he quickly extended an arm, lacing it around my shoulders. After a while the slower songs started to play and we danced to almost each one. He taught me how to waltz, leading me quickly over the floor and spinning me around, catching me by the hips to guide me back toward him. His kisses were tender and heated, his fingers snaking through my hair and pulling my head to the side to plant a trail of kisses along my throat. My song came on, “Friday Night Blues”, and I sang along as he lead me over the dance floor. I was in heaven. The raunchy songs began to play again and I earned several whistles and cheers from his friends as I dropped low, grinding against his thigh. He pulled me back up against him, almost off my feet, and covered my mouth with his. I was dizzy, drunk from his eager tongue, his fingertips searing hot as they crept across my flesh. “Texas Angel” by Honey Browne came over the speakers and all the lovers gathered onto the floor. Aldine took the beer out of my hand and put it down then led me out onto the dance floor. He serenaded me as he held me close to him, pulling me dangerously close, “Smile for me my Texas Angel…It’ll be alright…” I tried hard not to stumble over his feet as he pressed me against his chest, our cheeks brushing. After a while I closed my eyes and relaxed, allowing his body to lead me. The room was spinning. When the song ended another slow two step started and this time he was merciful enough to hold me away from him, leaving Daisy hungry for the warmth of his body. He asked me if I had any kids, when I shook my head he confessed that he had three. The oldest being 16. He’s 35, not married, but married before for 13 years. ”Are you disappointed?” I was confused…why was he asking?…I told him, with a sincere smile, that No…I wasn’t disappointed. When the song ended I told him I had better go…but I wanted him to walk me out if that was okay. He took my hand and led me out. As soon as we left the raucous of the club I turned to him, “I’m sorry…I have a boyfriend but I just,” and he wouldn’t let me finish. He took my arms and turned me to him, “You want to him fun.” I laughed and nodded, feeling tears press against my eyes. He told me he also had a girlfriend.  She was younger than me at 21. I smiled as he continued to explain, “I was married before. I don’t want to be married again. I don’t want to be tied down. But when I meet someone like you, I can’t help but want something more…You blow my mind, girl.” With my breath catching in my throat, I told him that I had come tonight because I hoped he’d be here. When we reached my truck  we began kissing, softly at first then in time the kisses became more eager. He pressed me against the truck as his restless hands traveled over my sleek frame. In no time we were in the truck, I don’t remember climbing in. We clawed at each other in the back seat and I peeled my jeans off and laid across the seat with my legs tangled around his thighs, only my panties, bra and tank on. I heard him mutter something about sexy and unbelievable as he fought to pull his pants down. It all happened too fast, yet time crawled. He pulled my panties off and threw them. As he pressed himself into me I could feel just how hard and large he was. It felt incredible as he moved inside me. Daisy was screaming in ecstacy as our bodies rocked together. My hands flew out to try and grab onto something, pressing against the window to keep from bucking against the door. After several wonderful minutes he pulled my shirt up and came across my stomach. I couldn’t believe how wonderful I felt. We wrestled for several more minutes, kissing and grabbing each other. It seemed to take a lifetime to find all my clothes, my panties in particular. When we crawled out of the truck we were kissing again. He was laughing against my throat, “Girl, I’ve never done that before. You’re crazy, sweetheart! You’re crazy and I love it!” his words rolled off his lips, soaked in that sexy southern drawl. “Please tell me there’ll be a next time…I have to see you again.” I nodded, telling him that if not this next Friday, then the next, but there would definately be a next time. With a grin he locked me in his arms, “And we’ll go someplace more comfortable…I’m going to take my time with you…I’ll fuck you all night. God, you’re crazy!”

We kissed once more and he left me yelling after him, “Be a good boy!” he laughed, looking back as I added, “Just kidding…be as bad as you want.”

The drive home was wonderful. I was in a state of bliss. My dreams that night were flooded with his face, his skin, his body on top of mine.

The developmental roots of narrative expression in therapy: contributions from attachment theory and research

The developmental roots of narrative expression in therapy: contributions from attachment theory and research, Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training. 46(3):301-316, September 2009

DANIEL, SARAH I. F. 1
University Clinic, Department of Psychology, University of Copenhagen

Abstract:

A central element in many forms of psychotherapy is the narrative articulation of client experience. From both theory, training, and practice, clinicians learn that structural aspects of client narratives may reveal important information about the client, but there is still limited research-based knowledge on this topic. This article explores and discusses the relevance of attachment theory and research to understanding structural and stylistic aspects of client narration in adult psychotherapy. Research into patterns of narrative expression identified by the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) suggests that the emotional tone and structural organization of narratives are related to patterns of information processing and affect regulation originating in experiences in attachment relationships. Attachment research thus holds the potential of linking client in-session narration to findings in developmental psychology. Clinical implications of the AAI-related research are discussed in terms of the therapeutic significance of narrative coherence and the possible meaning of different kinds of narrative incoherence.

Spending scarcely a few dollars extra can create all the difference in looks and value, plus they will hold up in lieu of additional Halloweens to happen.

Sastun: My Apprenticeship with a Maya Healer

By Rosita Arvigo with Nadine Epstein and Marilyn Yaquinto

Place: Publisher & Year: San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 1994

Genres: Non-fiction, ethnobotany, anthropology, autobiography, biography, traditional medicine

ISBN: 9780062502551

Intended audience: Adult

Number of pages: 190

Setting: San Ignacio, Belize

Time period: 1980’s (1981- 1993, most of the book’s story is 1981-1987)

Plot summary: When Rosita moves to San Ignacio, Belize with her husband and daughter, they have dreams of establishing a farm along with their medical practices, but find life quite challenging.  When Rosita meets Don Elijio Panti, a well known Mayan healer in the area, she asks to become his apprentice.  She has a thirst for knowledge about the local plants and his healing techniques; she also recognizes that Don Elijio’s knowledge was in danger of becoming lost to the world if he didn’t pass it on to someone else.  Don Elijio, however, politely denies her request thinking that the Mayan spirits would not accept a gringa.  She also had no sastun.  In spite of his rejection, Rosita regularly visits Don Elijio, helping and learning from him.  Eventually, Rosita receives a sastun, and her apprenticeship begins in full.

Appeal factors:

Pacing: The slower beginning introduces the reader to both San Ignacio and the surrounding area and characters.  Once these have been well established (around chapter 5 – p. 40), the pace increases rapidly.

Characterization: The story is told in first person through Rosita’s eyes.  We learn of her struggles and fears and are heartened by her successes.  The other primary character is Don Elijio a truly amazing man.

Frame: The jungle (Central American rainforest) sets the scene for this story.  It is both fearsome, and beautiful.  It is a source of life and medicine, but also evil spirits.  Additionally, it is being destroyed at alarming rates.

Story Line: A wonderful story about one woman following her heart to learn more about plants and ends up helping found a national plant reserve and research center.  Rosita’s efforts to save both traditional healing knowledge and ecosystems will be appreciated for many generations.

Ill Wind

By Nevada Barr

Place: Publisher & Year: New York: Berkley Books, 2004, 1995c

Genre: Mystery

Series: Anna Pigeon mysteries; 3

ISBN: 9780425197257

Intended audience: Adult

Number of pages: 309

Setting: Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Time period: mid 1990s

Plot summary: Anna Pigeon recently transferred to Mesa Verde National Park for a promotion.  She arrived just as the park is replacing old waterlines to public buildings.  Many of the park’s staff are distressed by the digging for pipelines in this archeologically rich area.  There have also been an unusually high number of visitors who have had to be carried out from Cliff Palace this summer.  Worst of all, though, is the death of a friend and co-worker, Stacy Meyers.

Appeal factors:

Pacing: The first third of the book has a slower and somewhat erratic pace.  After Stacy’s death, the pace picks up considerably and remains constant.

Characterization: Told in third person through Anna.  There are many interesting characters in this story, most of whom are Anna’s co-workers.  Readers learn more about Anna’s personal challenges in this book.

Frame: Mesa Verde National Park is both wondrous and beautiful, but also very mysterious.  What happened to the people who built the dwellings and lived and died there?   No graveyards have ever been found.  The mysteries of Mesa Verde are intertwined with the more immediate mystery of Stacy’s death.

Story line: An intriguing and entertaining tale filled with suspicious characters and much malaise.

Subject headings:

From PCPL:

Pigeon, Anna (Fictitious character) — Fiction.

Women park rangers — Fiction.

Mesa Verde National Park (Colo.) — Fiction.

Colorado — Fiction.

Mystery fiction.

Similar authors: (From NoveList) Lise Mcclendon, Karen Kijewski, Dana Stabenow, Deborah Crombie, Marcia Muller, Taffy Cannon, Jessica Speart, Sue Grafton

Personal notes: I didn’t care for this book as much as Track of the Cat or Hard Truth.  I found many of the characters to be annoying.  I did enjoy Frederick the Fed when he showed up – about halfway through the story.

Other (themes, diversity): Diversity – female park ranger, child with dwarfism

Schwinn Fastback Comp Adult Road Bike

Schwinn Fastback Comp Adult Road Bike

Product Description

Ideal for everything from road racing to commuting to work, the Schwinn Fastback Comp adult road bike will have you riding in style. The bike is outfitted with such features as a Super Butted N’Litened Gold Label aluminum frame with Black Label carbon stays, an N’Litened Black Label composite carbon fiber fork, Shimano Tiagra derailleurs and shifters, Schwalbe Lugano 23c tires, a Ritchey 31.8 alloy handlebar and stem, and two water bottles with holders.

Customer Reviews

“no regrets on this bike”

short review

great bike, for beginners, for people just looking for a workout, for anyone. probably not gonna be your tour de france winning bike, but great for training. research the parts on this bike, then search other bikes with the same components and youll see the price difference

“First 23c Road bike”

This is my first modern road bike (my other bike is a 70’s Fuji Grand Tour). With that said, I cannot think of a better deal: I found a 2007 model, identical to the blue one in the pic, for $750. It is the smoothest, most solid bike I have ever ridden: from the shifters, to the derailleurs, to the over-all, smooth ride (due mostly to the carbon fork and seat stays, and surprisingly comfy seat).

The only beware comment I can make is about the wheel set. I already broke 2 spokes (all in the same occasion), possibly had something to my lack of checking them and them getting loose from sitting in the shop unridden for over a year; But anyway I have not had any problems since they were fixed, and have no reason to expect future problems, so far. I do not know the specs of the wheel set and would not know how to interpret them if I did, but I would look into them.

Overall, I love the bike, I am 5′11 and the medium bike fits me perfectly. After adjusting everything, the seat looks to be the exact same height in proportion to the bike as in the pic above: The seat being 1 to 2 inches higher than the handle bars.

Christian Gingrich Names Porn Company 'Entrepreneur of The Year' For Stimulating The Economy

Build that relationship with Sexy Lingerie

One of the most flexible dresses that were ever designed for wear on big occasions is the cocktail dress. While the events for which cocktail dresses are worn are usually late afternoon or sundown affairs that are too casual to be called black-tie events, many cocktail dresses can now be worn somewhere else, depending on the cut and the material of the dress and the accessories worn with it.

To wear a cocktail dress to a more formal event, all you must do is to accessorize accordingly, maybe wear more flashy pieces of jewellery and heavier makeup. If you want to wear something dressy to the office for whatever reason aside from the usual skirt or pantsuit, you can wear a cocktail dress that’s not too flashy and just throw on a blazer and slip into sensible office shoes. Many current styles of cocktail dresses are not limited to being party wear anymore.

choosing what style of cocktail dress to wear , however , can be extraordinarily hard for most women. In fact , only a few girls could claim to have actually perfect bodies, and most women who do not fall into the supermodel category wish to hide the issues of their figures. Wearing an one-piece dress such as a cocktail dress can simply reveal those flaws if the dress does not fit the wearer’s body type.

In picking out the right cocktail dress to wear, a girl must consider her body type – whether she is top-heavy or bottom-heavy – and find something that may balance out her figure. If she is bottom-heavy, her aim should be to draw attention to the upper part of her body and to her face. If she is top-heavy, she has the option either to emphasize her cleavage or to wear something that may pull the eyes to her legs. Eagle Rose Lingerie provides a diverse selection of sexy lingerie for all body types.

What kind of cocktail dress would suit a lady with a bottom-heavy figure? As expounded above, a girl with a bottom-heavy figure would want to hide the thickness round her hips and thighs. A good cocktail dress for her to wear would be a dress that fits closely around the waist but without the seams pushed out by additional padding around the abdomen and has a skirt that flares out round the hips and thighs. A cocktail dress with a full skirt would be perfect for a girl with a bottom-heavy figure as it will definitely hide whatever flabbiness and bulges that she wishes not to be seen around her lower body.

another option available for a woman with a bottom-heavy figure is a cocktail dress that sports an empire-style waistline. A cocktail dress with an empire-style waistline has the waist placed higher, so pulling the eyes towards the shoulders, the neck and the face. It also drapes and skims over the lower body. The sole risk with wearing an empire-style cocktail dress , however , is that the empire-style cut is often used on pregnancy dresses, and so a lady wearing such a dress might be mistaken to be pregnant.

And yet another choice open for a lady with a bottom-heavy figure is a cocktail dress that is either sleeveless or strapless, also with a flaring skirt. Again, baring the arms and the shoulders is effective in drawing attention away from the hips.

As for girls with top-heavy figures, she could either emphasize her cleavage or her legs, as mentioned above. If she wants to put concentrate on her legs instead of her cleavage, she’ll wear a cocktail dress with a solid-colored top paired with a patterned skirt. She will hike the hem of her skirt up to make it shorter and truly draw the eyes to her legs.

If she wants to attract attention to her sufficient cleavage instead of her legs, she will be able to cover up her legs in a adult lingerie but show a little skin on her upper body with a low V-neck or falling neckline. In fact, she will be able to draw the eyes to both her top and her legs by wearing a short cocktail dress with a low neckline if she wants to. What she should not do is to wear a cocktail dress with a very busy top because it’ll make her upper body appear larger and skew the balance of her figure.

Accessories also help to keep the semblance of balance on a woman’s figure except for wearing the right kind of cocktail dress. Bottom-heavy women can wear flashy earrings, necklaces or chokers, while top-heavy women can decline the necklace and go for a bracelet instead. However [*COMMA] she should buy her cocktail dress first before working out what accessories, bag and shoes to wear.

SHAWNE MERRIMAN AND TILA TEQUILA: NFL Player Arrested, Accused Of Choking Reality Star

Tequila, 27, signed a citizen’s arrest warrant, charging Merriman with battery and false imprisonment, San Diego County Sheriff’s Lt. Gary Steadman said.

Both are felonies.

Deputies responded about 3:45 a.m. to Merriman’s house in Poway, north of San Diego, after a woman called to say she was choked by the player and thrown to the ground when she tried to leave, Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jan Caldwell said at a news conference.

Merriman’s attorney, Todd Macaluso, disputed Tequila’s story and said he’s confident Merriman won’t be charged by the District Attorney’s Office.

“There was absolutely no wrongdoing on the part of Mr. Merriman,” Macaluso told The Associated Press by phone. “He essentially was doing what was appropriate under the circumstances in trying to protect the safety of Miss Tequila. There were numerous eyewitnesses that will support his version of the events that transpired at his home.”

Merriman, 25, was taken into custody and booked into the central jail at about 8:30 a.m. He was released shortly after 11 a.m.

Merriman didn’t return two e-mails seeking comment. His agent, Tom Condon, said he hadn’t heard about the arrest when contacted by The Associated Press.

There had been considerable Twitter chatter between Tequila and Merriman during the last two months. She tweeted several times about going to the Chargers’ game Friday night and a party she held afterward at a downtown club, including:

_ “Im the Head Cheerleader Prom Queen and (at)shawnemerriman is the Prom King! hahaha! LETS GOOO! LIGHTS OUT! SAN DIEGO I WILL SEE U TOMORROW!”

Merriman was the 12th overall pick out of Maryland in the 2005 draft, and had 39 1/2 sacks in his first three seasons. The three-time Pro Bowl selection has been getting back into shape after missing nearly all of last season following knee surgery.

The Chargers, picked by some as Super Bowl favorites, open the regular season a week from Monday night at Oakland. Players had been off since after Friday night’s exhibition finale against San Francisco. They are due back at practice on Monday.

“It’s disappointing to hear about the issue involving Shawne Merriman,” Chargers general manager A.J. Smith said in statement. “We’ll continue to monitor the situation and let the legal process run its course.”

Smith didn’t return a call seeking further comment.

Smith often speaks of signing “character” players, yet the Chargers have had their share of embarrassing off-field problems in recent seasons.
