Cause and Effect

Posted by mmkeekah on October 13, 2009

Actual conversation on the phone after a really bad day:

Him: I’m sorry you are having a bad day.

Me: I just keep asking who I pissed off today that I deserve this bad day.

Him: Well, if you look at it objectively, everything that happened today was a direct result of your own actions.

(total quiet)

Me:  Yeah, like me picking up this phone and calling you right now?

(laughter on the other end)

Just Think Happy Thoughts

Posted by mmkeekah on September 9, 2009

Today is my lover’s birthday.  He dreads this day every year because he thinks he is getting old.  I tease him every year by saying, “you are only as old as you act, so my love, you are barely 12 years old…”

It’s funny to think that he worries about getting older because he is so young at life, young at heart, and young in spirit.  He always gets carded because of his boyishly handsome good looks.  He is the life of the party and people – women especially – flock to him at parties.  He has very few worries in his life because he chooses to celebrate the goodness in life, to focus on the fun that life has to offer.

He’s my own Peter Pan… and I love when he turns to me and whispers, “Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you’ll never, never have to worry about grown up things again. “

All we need is fairy dust…

Happy birthday, my love… and remember, you just think happy thoughts.

While I Was Sleeping

Posted by mmkeekah on August 29, 2009

Actual conversation at 1am on the way home from a bar:

Me:  (searching through my purse drunkenly) Where’s the camera?

Him(soberly driving) I put it in your purse.

Me:  (as I dump the entire contents of my purse on the floor) No, you didn’t.  I just looked.

Slight pause.

Me:  We left it at the bar – great.  I will call them.

I pick up my iPhone and punch in Goog-411

Goog411:  This call is recorded.  Google!  Say the business and the city and state.

Me: (slurring and yelling into my iPhone) Frontier Club, Aurora Colorado

Goog411: (a search noise and then) Top Listing, Front Loading, Aurora Colorado. Number one…

Me: (frantic) No! Ah!

I hang up angrily and redial Goog411

Goog411:  This call is recorded.  Google!  Say the business and the city and state.

Me: (trying to go slow and speak clearly while obviously drunk) Au-ro-ra Club, Fron-tier Co-lo-ra-do… ah FUCK.

I hang up angrily again and once again redial Goog411.

Goog411:  This call is recorded.  Google!  Say the business and the city and state.

Me:  (slowly and more loudly) Frontier Club, Aurora Colorado.

Goog411:  Frontier Club, Aurora Colorado… top listing, number one, Frontier Club on Colfax Avenue…

Me: (into the iPhone) Number one.

I glance  at him and notice he is laughing his ass off at me.  I’m slightly embarrassed.

Me: (starting to giggle too) What?

Him:  That took you 10 minutes!

Me:  Stupid Google… (into the phone) Hi. We were just there and I think we left our camera at the bar.  No? Okay well let us know if you find it.  (to him) It must be in C’s back seat.

I dial our friend, C, who we were visiting with at her neighborhood bar.

Me (to C):  Hey, did we leave our camera in your backseat?  No?  Curses, it isn’t at the bar either.

Him: I may have put it in the back seat.

Me: (looking at him, incredulous) WHAT? (I glance in the back seat, then say into the phone while glaring at him) It’s in the backseat.

Me: (as I hang up) It was in the back seat the whole time!

Him:  (laughing)  Now you can go to sleep like you always do on the way home…

And here’s what happens with the camera when I finally go to sleep:

Thursday Thirteen, #55

Posted by mmkeekah on August 13, 2009

Thirteen Things
MON-MON
Likes About Poly
(aka Poly Pro List)

1. The Personal Journey – I’ve learned so much about myself, how I love, and why I do the things I do because I walked down the poly path.  I truly believe most people go through life never questioning why they do the things they do and whether it makes sense.

2. The People - alternative lifestyles attract people who don’t necessarily play by the rules and who don’t just choose the road most traveled.  Poly also attracts very loving and very open individuals who look at love as a commodity best shared with everyone.  I like that concept. 

3. The Freedom – I need lots of freedom in relationships, and when I’m in the right relationship, I get that.  Freedom to me does not mean doing whatever the hell I want at any cost – but rather the freedom to express myself and be heard and understood by my partners. 

4. Flirting w/o Repercussions:  I’ve always believed I would find other people attractive even if I was madly in love.  Turns out I was right!  With poly, if I meet someone who I find attractive and can safely flirt without pissing off any partner they might have, my partner *supports* my ability to do just that… sometimes he *even* encourages it when he knows I like someone and I’m a little shy to act on it.

5. The Community – We have an active poly group here in Colorado, and I just love, LOVE the fact that we do.  One of the greatest poly organizations is Loving More (based in CO), and the woman who runs it is awesome, as is her partner that lives here in CO with her. 

6. The Online Community – I spend a lot of time online getting to know folks all over the world who are long time poly folk, new to poly, never heard of poly or trying to understand a poly partner.  I learn so much about interactions with people, how to express myself in a better manner, how to offer support and  advice without being judgmental – and I also get all of that in return.  I’m so very thankful for my online friends.

7. Acceptance – at least by people who understand how I feel about live and love.  For so long I felt alone because I could conceptulize how I wanted to love and be loved but the only models I had around me were lifetime monogamy (which seemed very hard to achieve), serial monogamy (which I found unappealing), and singlehood.  I thought I was destined to be a spinster or the crazy old lady with all those cats – until I found polyamory.

8. New Relationship Energy - the coin termed to explain the gushy, romantic, crazy, sexy attraction everyone experiences in the beginning of a new relationship (yes, even monogamists, gays, lesbians, etc).  We all love that first intense period of any new relationship. 

9. The T-Shirts – visit http://shop.cafepress.com/polyamory and search on polyamory.  They are wonderful!

10. The Poly Bloggers – I love a good blog, and I love a great poly blog.  I love it when folks get out there on the net to share their joys and trials all with the hope to help someone else who might be feeling as they do.  I just wish people read it to actually learn, instead of feeding some insatiable need to enjoy other’s misery.  Ah well, one step at a time…

11. Poly Blogging – I love being able to share my own poly stories and poly viewpoints with the group of folk who bother to read my blog.  It’s catharitic, fun, and I love to write so it fulfills that need in me.

12. The Get-Togethers – who loves a good party?  ME!  I DO!

13. My Poly Partner – Even though he was poly before I met him, and even though I’ve learned so much from him about loving honestly and with integrity – I also get to watch as he learns all of those items as well.  I’m also thankful that I get to enjoy watching his growth, all the while experiencing my own personal growth.

Baked, Part II*

Posted by mmkeekah on August 5, 2009

Actual conversation while baking cinnamon streusel muffins:

Him: Is that streusel stuff supposed to go on top of the muffins?

Me: (busily adding the streusel on top of the muffins while they are baking) Yes.

Him: While they are baking in the oven?

Me: (sighing) No. I forgot to add it to the top before I baked them.

Him: So it was supposed to go on before you put them in the oven?

Me: Yes. And I can’t reach three of the muffins now so they will be streusel-less.

Him: (looking into the oven) Is something burning?

Me: No.

Him: What’s that black burnt spot on the bottom of the oven?

Me: Not sure.

Him: Should you be baking at all?

Me: Probably not.

*Title is in reference to the Baked blog I posted before.

How To Make An Orgy

Posted by mmkeekah on August 3, 2009

Actual conversation:

Cousin: So how do polyamory people commit?

Me: They move in together?

Him: They get married, have kids…

Cousin’s Wife: How is the polyamory stuff going? Are you still poly or are you taking a break?

Him: I’m certainly not looking. I’m content.

Me: Me too. It’s a lot of work.

Cousin’s Wife: Well that’s good. I’m glad you guys are happy.

Cousin: So how many people does it take to make an orgy?

(short pause as we look at each other)

Him: Five.

Me: (laughing) Well, poly really isn’t just about sex.

Cousin’s Wife: Yes, it’s about love.

Cousin: Anytime you get three naked people in a room, it’s an orgy.

(We all laugh)

Me: Actually, I think we had less sex when we were in our two triads…

Him: Yeah the third was always upset about one thing or another…

Happy Anniversary, babe! It is babe, isn’t it?

Posted by mmkeekah on August 2, 2009

J and I celebrated five years together today.  We went to our favorite classy restaurant, Capital Grille, which is just a lovely experience. The atmosphere is soft and romantic, the service is outstanding, and the food… oh gosh, the food is excellent.

We’ve had some amazing times together, J and I. Most recently, we’ve discovered a level of communication that goes beyond anything I’ve ever known. Maybe its all the trials we’ve experienced – both together and individually – or maybe its just a comfort in one another… not sure and don’t care. I’m just enjoying it!

I love this man and I know he loves me! I can’t wait to see what the next five years brings us.

Radio Killed the Mon-Mon Star

Posted by mmkeekah on July 31, 2009

Actual conversation:

Him: I can tell you drove my car yesterday.

Me: Oh? How’s that?

Him: You changed the radio settings in my car. I had it set on random repeat all for you.

Me: I did not! I deliberately avoid all the buttons except the move forward and move back a song.

He laughs quietly.

Me: It’s not funny. I know you set it to only play music I don’t like. I was stuck in this crappy gangster genre that was driving me nuts. No matter what direction I went, it was gangster music.

Him: (laughing louder) Well today it was set on non-random, repeat all in this folder, so that explains why you were in the same genre.

Me: I’m telling you I didn’t touch any other button – frankly I’m scared of your radio. I think it dislikes me.

Sharing Lunch

Posted by mmkeekah on June 29, 2009

J has way too much time on his hands.

The other day I was at work when he sent me an email with two pictures attached, and of course, I had to share them with you all…

Below is a picture from the box of the lunch J was expecting to it:

Fiesta Grilled Chicken

But this is what he got once he warmed it up:

I like how he took the time to circle/draw around the chicken and add a cute little title bar for ease of understanding!
