As raw as sushi gets … eatin’ it alive
okay I loves me some sushi - I really do but I can’t do this..
Pardon my French as I said I was gonna stop cursing -but this is COMPLETELY FUCKED UP..
Seriously.
to all the moms I know trying
this really is everything I could ever say about my parenting
and parents who love - (Dana especially for you)
He loves softly
Gentle like breezes
Firm like air between fall and winter
like thighs pressed high against my
…..
he should be lying
beneath my palms every time I think this
reflection on our sex is
not close enough to reality
to be satisfying
when he
……
he drinks my wishes
and sweats my satisfaction
bodies flex like his biceps wrap sweetly
push slowly
ride low like tides that hide
waves that keep crashing
until we are
…..
we kiss like sunday mornings caress saturday night
tangle like moonbeams and sunlight
poetry cliche I know
but it feels good

Now previously I failed to mention my Saturday adventure. We threw my sister who is due in less than a month a virtual baby shower.
I hear you internets, I hear you asking, “Now, how Raquita did you pull that off?”
Well I’ll tell you internets, it was just as involved as throwing her one here. We did our standard shopping for my darling niece Sophia, then we packed a nifty giant 20 x 20 box and filled it with confetti and tissue paper and packed it full of presents the we put a shower balloon in there and decorated the flaps – so it was a party in a box. My hunky brother in law P went a got us a nifty web cam and I picked one up here and on the advice of the gspn.tvGSPN.tv pod casting guy Cliff, we went to Ustream.tv and signed up for accounts. Add one gut wrenching trip to OVERNIGHT THAT BYTCH a couple of free clicks and then BAM! Instant shower.
She squeeled like a girl when the balloon popped out of the box.
My aunt and mom squeeled like girls when she showed us her belly, we all reached out to touch the computer screen, instant habit. We could not stop the motion. She took us on a tour of her house. We just talked and talked and stayed on line long after the presents were opened and the tickle of tiny clothes had passed. We all feel so much closer to her knowing we can see her when we want to, or for me when I need to.
It was so wonderful to get to see her and watch her move in real time and talk like she was right here. We were only missing the ability to touch her. Rub her belly and whisper promises of love to her tummy. Hug her. Press our devotion into her so her child will know it is real and that she is ours too.
I so hope she knows.
Stupid move to Philly. I want my sister back.
And its not so bad…
Ahh my faithful internets.
I am back at work today. And I miss my kid pretty tough.
But she is with my grandmother during the day so all is well. It has been a pretty good weekend and ironically I am not too upset about having to be back here at the jobby job. It’s a necessary evil, and forces me to be back on my game.
I’ve upped my wake up time, to five thirty. I’ve been waking up that early for a few weeks now prepping for the inevitable return to work. So this morning my body would not totally rebel when I tried to prod it up in the darkness of morning.
I woke up and made breakfast for my family, got myself

This was my dinner on Friday night.Yeah go ahead and get your drool on.. I’ll wait.
The picture was taken by a very great new friend Todd Jordan (and fun wife Sharon). Makes me remember how tasty it really was. Wish he’d got a shot of Jerry pulled pork sandwich - I highly reccomend it.
We had dinner with roughly twenty local bloggers, all pulled together by Marijean. And the hubby had a lot of fun meeting people, he had no idea he was gonna enjoy meeting. Including Dwight Wannabe for the very first time. I’ve never seen him react quite like that to a new person, but we all have a slight groupie reaction to Dwight, so it was understandable. The Beautiful Wife is, beautiful, and really one of the sweetest people ever.
Now keep in mind before this, my husband gave me a little grief about going to hang out with bloggers, as this was not my first blogger meet up, now I don’t think I’ll be able to go to one with out bring him along.
My husband said and I quote “Dana is one down ass chick , you can hang with her when ever you want to. ” well thanks hunny for permission and all.
e also met and had a good time with Jeanette ,Michelle, Dennis Kennedy ,Matt Homann. i WAS STOKED TO MEET Liz SHE WAS SOO COOL. I wish I got to meet her hubby but alas it was not to be. there was very interesting conversation about the Transformer movie (Hi News Bitch) , HBO TV shows and sex and old people.
Trust me you had to be there.
We’ve got the chance to foster some good relationships I think. With some people we probably would have never become friends with.
So thank you blogging for introducing us to some great people. (can you thank an action?)
There is a flickr group and I’ll be adding photos later - although mine aren’t nearly as tasty as this one.
Really all - it was such a pleasure to meet you - and I so hope we do it again soon.
Okay - cause I loves ya I’ll tell you my little internet secret of the day.
Darling baby Shoes at Darlingshoes.com is having a MONSTER sale on regularly priced shoes - 85% off.
I just bought 11 pair for 40 bucks - no lie…
I suggest you check it out, discount code is city85
(if you are in St. Louis you can pick the shoes up from their warehouse and save the shipping cost too.. double bonus!)
thanks to Dana for giving me the code for this.. new toy SWEET and you guys get an extra dose of cuteness… that is all…
Okay I’ve been meaning to post about alot of things lately - so I am gonna do a drive by posting on alot of subjects - okay only like three or four - and then i’m gonna get back to the cute that is my new baby.
She totally rocks.
That was so besides the point but hey. what do you want from me? I’m a mom - and speaking of which I want to put my two cents out there about Mrs. Sienfelds book that she possibly stole ,or not, what ever. Thats another post all together.
Honestly I am not the kind of parent who thinks it would be who of me to put squash in my kids mac and cheese.
Seriously? is this what parenting has been reduced to?
Can’t you just say - your not leaving the table til you eat your (Insert gross, now ice cold, been sitting on your plate since six o’clock its now eight thirty veggie here)? Look I’m rather old school I guess cause Veggie consumption is not an optional part of eating at Chez Henderson. We (meaning me) are not afraid of junk food. Cammy and i bake all the time. Halloween cookies
I love Sara Ramirez. I think hse is great - I love her voice and I hope they let her sing this season. I love her character Callie on Grey’s anatomy. But I swear if they don’t give her back her SPINE in the next episode or two we are gonna have some serious problems.
Okay Now I can talk about other TV. I typically watch Greys and Private Practice and the shows that come on afterwards, Dirty sexy money and Big shots, I also watch Brothers and Sisters, Ugly Betty and Tell me you love me - which airs on HBO and is a wonderful show about relationships - although it can be a little graphic on the sex front - although I understand totally why they went that route. Cammy watches Charlie and lola and Word World, and Stanley - two of the three most days. I also listen to the fan podcasts of Greys Anatomy and private practice on GSPN.tv. The hosts, Cliff and Stephanie, can get a little off track and a tad holier than thou (thats mostly Cliff 
) but for the most part it gives me a quick fix of arguing about my Greys so I can let it go for the rest of the week.
clearly I watch too much tv.
