Oh, I don't abhor cows at all. Not in the least. What if said to you, as the zoo keeper, all this time I thought I had a swan, when really, I have a cow. That make any sense?
Yes. Although I must say that I am shocked to hear that you, like every other working Mom in America, are devoting too much selfless energy to your relationships (Mom/cow part) and wealth (working part) and not enough to your own physical, mental, emotional and sexual well-being. Dr. Bunkey prescribes one part hip-hop dance workout DVD, one part meditation room or 5 hour long BBC costume drama, one part massage chair pedicure (hot pink nail polish), one part warming intimate oil and two parts telling your BF "Next time we have sex I want you to say "Scream, baby, scream."
BTW, I am totally with you and LP on the BF boundaries issue even though GP and I have only been dating for a couple months. I basically told him "You are dating a woman with a weak*ss cow at the moment." this morning and he got real quiet and then he said "I think I already told you several times that I don't care." Here's the thing that boggles my mind (and perhaps yours as well). All most men care about when you are dating them is the bunkey. If you are attractive, nice, smart and sexual, they don't care if you are totally broke and you live on lemon drops and whiskey and throw away stuff when your apartment gets too messy and have several cats. I thought this was true because my friend who dated Sebastian Junger fit this description. Now I know it is true. So, although the differentiated woman should never run her life in a manner to simply please men (whether BF or husband), it is helpful to understand these matters in order to make informed decisions when choosing how to please oneself. So....after my discussion with GP this morning, I had to choose between fixing the broken cellar door in my basement or going shopping for a new Xmas outfit for me. I decided that I would leave the cellar door broken for the next guy who inhabits my house to fix and I got some bright red corduroy hip-huggers, a fluffy white hoodie and a form-fitting green t-shirt with a bunny wearing an Xmas hat that says "I've Been Naughty...So What?"
