Andrew crawled into bed last night after playing a yawn-inducing two-hours of Tiger Woods Golf on the Wii. I put down my copy of Interview with a Vampire so we could chat and just then, Toilet Face jumped in bed with what else, soaked paws. 

“Somebody has wet feet.” I… Read full post »

My cat, Gracie, has a feline instinct like no other I've seen to find water in any part of the house, from any source, and not only drink it, but make as much of a mess with it as possible.   

A forgotten glass of water on the nightstand?  Over it goes. … Read full post »

Lying on the bed with his pants only halfway down, raging erection already wrapped in an unlubricated rubber, I tiptoed to him, feeling nervous and awkward.  

In the dismalness of the afternoon that bathed the spare bedroom, my boyfriend reached out and guided me on top of him. … Read full post »

I ran across this post on a blog I used to keep years ago.  I enjoyed this list so much that I've updated my selections and re-posted.  I'd love to see your list too!
