Boston Bound
Just a quicky post to say GOOD BYE...for the week end. We leave at 11ish today to head to Boston for the week-end. I get to play tourist...yippee! Of course being the hicks that we are it will be a huge culture shock but I think we will survive it and come back just overflowing with culture...he he he. Baby girl is sure that she is going to get mugged, I told her that if she did I'd be sure to get pics so that she can remember the momentous event, she didn't find me amusing...go figure! Well If, and that is a big IF, my cell decides to work I plan to do my audio post from Boston on Sunday. 'til then have a great one...I plan too. Can you tell I'm ready to get to hell out of here...This could be why;

Kissing 101
Kissing....One of my all time favorite pasttimes.
My first real kiss happened when I was about 14 (I know - a late bloomer) he and I were snowmobiling (coincidentally this boy was also my first 'drink' & my first 'joint', another day another post) and stopped on the trail to 'take a break', he leaned towards me every so slightly and then his lips brushed mine, gently at first and then with a bit more intensity. I remember wondering how, when it was so fucking cold out, his lips could be so wonderfully warm. This lasted for only a short time but I knew right then that Kissing was going to become a very important part of my life. I 'practiced' several more times with this boy over the next few months and proclaimed myself a Very Good Kisser.
I did NOT sleep around in high school...but I did KISS around as much as possible, it became one of my favorite hobbies. I would often rate the boys I kissed, here are a few of the standouts...both good and bad:.
One boy used to think it was a real turn on to bite my teeth...yup that's what I said, BITE my teeth - this was NOT a turn on! do Not to this gentlemen.
Then their was one who must have been able to dislocate his jaw like a snake can because his mouth would cover my entire face...note to all: If you need a wash cloth when you are done 'kissing' you are not doing it right.
Then their were the ones who were tentative, meak, unsure; sometimes these ones could be taught...sometimes they couldn't be. It was always fun trying though.
Those with BAD breath - always a turn off.
The best:
Of course my first kiss will always have a special place in my heart but in retrospect, even though at the time it was earth shattering, it was not the best kiss I've every had.
There was a boy in high school who, in my opinion, was the perfect kisser. We never really dated but we were friends...you know the kind of friends who made out whenever the opportunity presented itself. Maybe the kissing was so good because we knew each other very well and we BOTH knew that kissing was as far as it was going to go and made the very MOST of it.
The 'bad boy' in school was a very exciting kisser - different from most of the others - maybe it was the element of fear, the unknown, but whatever it was I always looked forward to a kiss from him.
An unexpected Kiss can be great too, the element of surprise can add that little extra needed to push an otherwise average kiss up a notch or two.
I really enjoyed my 'kissing around' days and one of the things that I noticed early on was that the best looking guys were not always the best kissers, in fact they usually weren't. How odd is that?
In Conclusion class....always remember this: 
The perfect kiss should be intimate, should make you feel like the most special person on the planet. It should never be rushed. It should never be forced. It should always make your tummy tingle and your toes curl. . My husband is a very good kisser....I'd like to believe that I taught him everything that he knows...or that he was just a 'natural' but the truth of the matter is that he probably liked to "kiss around" just as much as I did. I was very lucky to find a man who could live up to my very high kissing standards.
This is just my opoinion and I welcome and encourage any of you to share with me your idea of the perfect kiss.

Google ME
Did you ever wonder what you REALLY needed? Google your name and needs together, for example: Melody needs... and see what comes up. I stole this from Sue, it's a riot. Of course with a name like "Melody" it took alot of looking to find stuff that wasn't all about music.
Here's what I found out I needed:
1) Melody needs Airplay: well I guess that this could be fun...maybe I'll play the air guitar...or air basketball...or air tennis...I'll be I could be
good at "air"
2) Melody need help with her studies: the only thing that I study right now is a cook book and the weather forecast, but I could use some help with that
3) Melody needs to be stretchable: Hmmmm...I suppose that maybe my hubby would agree with that...or maybe it's more about multi-tasking?
4) Melody needs some work and a little variation: This is part false and part true...I do NOT need any more work to do..but a little variation would be a real treat.
5) Melody needs a sturdy hero: Hey wait a minute...is google reading my blog? How did they know about My spidey-fearing, hubby hero anyway?
6) Melody needs less stress: TRUE...'nough said
7) Melody needs drug treatment: NOT...but she does need some good drugs or drinks...
8) Melody needs to be reduced considerably: Ok now...really...have they been reading my blog...Weight is ALWAYS an issue
9) Melody needs to satisfy 3 critical requirements: Yessah...now I have something to fill all those vacant minutes in my day...I shall go right to work on those critical requirements.
10) Melody needs to change things up a bit: Nope...guess that they haven't been reading my blog...if they had been they'd KNOW that I do NOT WANT OR NEED ANY MORE CHANGE IN MY LIFE!
That was kinda fun and now that I know just exactly what it is that I need I can be completely fulfilled.

Ooooo...To Be 13 AGAIN!
 This is Bre and Kristen-the birthday girl.
Hubby, Baby Girl and I attended at 13th birthday party for my niece Kristen. She had 8-10 of her friends over for an evening of music, games and water fun...well the water fun was NOT exactly planned but due the the downpours and the fact that it was an outdoor party...they just sorta happened. Kristen's mom, Julie and her dad Tim did a wonderful job of making the party a special event in their daughter's life. They set up a tent and decorated it with rope lights and paper lanterns, Julie out did herself with the food and the music was great. Julie did stressed out a 'bit' well actually a whole lot, over the preperations but I hope that she now thinks that it was worth it. The kids all seemed to have a good time playing in the rain and jumping in mud puddles and just visiting. It is so funny how kids one minute want to be all grown up and then the next they want to play in the rain....oh to be young again...oh wait..I DO like to play in the rain. Well anyway....I'm not going to say too much more about the party, I'll let Julie do that but I wanted to say that we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Thanks Kristen...for turning 13! Can't wait to see what's planned for 16!

Simple Home Remedies
A friend emailed this to me today...just wanted to share this wisdom.
SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES
1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic.
Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat
and presto. The blockage will be almost instantly
removed.
2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing
vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while
you chop away.
3. Avoid arguments with the little woman about lifting
the toilet seat by simply using the sink.
4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut
yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing
the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.
5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock,
will prevent you from rolling over and going back to
sleep after you hit the snooze button.
6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of
laxatives, then you will be afraid to cough.
7. Have a bad toothache? Smash your thumb with a
hammer and you will forget about the toothache.
Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of
life really are:
You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it
doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it
shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.
Remember:
Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom.
If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get
another chance.
And finally, be really nice to your family and
friends; you never know when you might need them to
empty your bedpan.

Rain Rain Go Away
It's been raining  here for 4 days and it's still gloomy today, the sun has hidden itself behind the clouds  for so long I'm not sure what it even looks like any more. The rain is bad enough but what makes it worse is that my roof is leaking. I have had a bucket  catching water for days. We have known that the roof needed to be replaced for a couple of years now and have just been putting it off...well NOW we have to fix it, I don't like taking a shower in my living room. Hubby and brother can do the job and it will only take a week end to complete but here's the problem....HUNTING season is fast approaching. My hubby could not possibly give up a Saturday during hunting to fix the roof...oh no...he MUST trapse thru the woods in search of the illusive white tail. He will spend enough money on gas and hunting paraphenalia to have bought an entire cow.  I know that he deserves his time to have FUN...but come on I deserve a dry living room too...don't I? Now we will stress out over getting our roof fixed  before October 29th...before it snows...before hubby is completely focused on hunting!

Not Such A Big Deal
When I was a kid...Yup it's gonna be one of those...I appreciated the special things in life, and it took very little for something to be special. There were 4 of us, I have one sister 3 years my senior, one sister 16 months my junior and then a baby brother, 10 years younger. We always had cloths on our back, sometimes hand me downs...but still, a roof over our heads and food in our stomachs. We didn't want for much, all of our NEEDS were met and some of our wants. It was a very big deal to get a new pair of jeans when it was not christmas or a birthday, at least until I started working. A trip to Bangor, the nearest city, happend maybe twice a year. I had never stayed at a motel, eaten at a McDonalds or left the confines of Maine until I was a junior in high school (this all happened on a band trip). I went to the movie theater maybe 3 times all during high school. Going out to dinner was big treat. We never went on a family vacation, except for staying at different camps that my dad used to 'care take' for around the lake. We would go to the small county fair every August and go 'school shopping' in Bangor once a year. I would get excited and was very grateful every time my parents would 'give' me anything. Every little "extra" would make my toes tingle. I think that my childhood was fairly typical of the times for the rural area that I lived in.
My children...have been to Disney twice, have been on a cruise to the caribean, to the coast, water parks, Prince Edward Island, countless motels, cottages, restaurants ect. I really wanted them to experience "family vacation". They go to Bangor regularly. They go to the movie theater at least once a month. They each have their own car. They eat out often. They want for very little and need for NOTHING. (They do both work and have since they were old enough to get permits.) Their closets are overflowing with cloths, especially baby girl, and shoes. They have access to snowmobiles in the winter and water stuff in the summer. I am so glad that we could give them all of these pleasures, I enjoy seeing them enjoy. But it seems that there is NOTHING left that is special...exicting...new. I know that they appreciate all the things that we do for them and with them...they always say thank you and have smiles on their faces. But the more they do and have the easier it is to take it for granted...nothing excited them the way I think it should...nothing makes their toes tingle and thier tummies twitch. I think that this is normal for the times NOW, I really don't think that they are excessively spoiled, I just believe that we live in a far different society then that of 30 years ago...when the mere mention of the movie theater would have kids, around here anyway, all aflutter for days in anticipation.
I am glad that my kids have been able to experience so much in their lives I really am...but it's bittersweet because nothing is "such a big deal" any more. Times sure have changed!

Season Finale
 We closed up our camp this week-end. It's always a sad time for me, and not just becasue it will take me a month to do all the laundry, but because  it means that summer truely is OVER. Gone are the fun filled family week-ends.
Gone are the kayaking trips. 
Gone are sitting at the shore of the lake watching the sun come up.  Gone are leisurily conversations in front of the fire. 
Gone are smores. Gone is the star gazing from the hammock.  Gone is my TAN. Now....there is just the THREAT of WINTER!
