Thank You Marilyn King !

[Lena]

I see this forum has been very busy today ........................ Am always happy to see it and the other non MEMBERS  areas doing so good .Makes FF even more interesting .You never know exactly what your going to come across.................


Yesterday turned out to be intense . I worked from 11 AM-12:30 AM all on  my feet which is nver easy but a little harder since my leg is still sore from strainig it during my sleep the other nite . .First at the county club golf tournament then doing a big wedding with just my luck weird Norm the slowest and lazyest bartender on the planet  .The whole thing made me so tired ( or in hillbilly 'tard ' ) I even dozed off at a stop lite . Not much chance to rest today , soon have to go and work the whole day back to the country club. Lucky me ................


The big annual golf tournament at the country club started off slow , hardly anyone except the players all in there polo shirt and shorts outfits showed up .Everyone seemed to think all the rain we've been having kept the crowds away .For awhile yesterday it even  looked like we'd be having another storm .But around noon the people began streaming in , all of a sudden the parking lot going from practically empty to overflowing with more then a few parking there expensive SUV's and European cars on the side of the driveway into the club and on he grass around the lot .As I looked out from the front door they ALL ( including even little children )  looked to have stepped right out of the LL BEAN catalog in polo shirts and shorts ( the men often in tan and white shorts with the women usually in pink/white /madras shorts ) with many many in those white wide brimmed  hats from Canada.  Thought to myself this how MARILYN KING must be dressing today ...........................


Fortunately for moi I did not have to slave away handling the parking  . The club has a new team of illegal aliens who may or not have drivers licenses parking all the expensive cars . The members don't care though , there used to having there cars parked and don't give a second thought to who does it . No doubt expecting the  club  manager to check which as far as I know he doesn't .Thats part of the whole  attitude toward illegal aliens here. No matter what they do whether it's park cars , mow lawns , clean houses don't ask too if  there here legally   or spend any time training  to do something more complicated since they come and go and you can always real easily get new ones .Basically disposable people .  Moi ended up working the  bar they had set up on the huge porch with this huge striped canopy over it  looking out on the 18 hole golf course all day with Carlene the regular bartenders super smart  VANDERBILT student daughter Rachel as my bar back  and associate bartender ( a new word I made up since she ended up pouring drinks with me even teaching her how to make a few    ) Carlene herself wasn't there since she's on vacation with her bf ,were at Mount Rushmore but now Rachel said was on the  way to see the bf' uncle in Idaho . Sounds serious what with Carlene meeting her man's people  . Rachel likes him and  while shaking her head  made a pointed jag saying he's the best her mom's had in years . I didn't ask her what she meant ................... Later they took Rachel away from me putting her  on a golf cart filled up  with soda , beer , wine to go serve the mob following the players from hole to hole .


The gig wasn't complicated but steady . Too steady , hardly any time to chill or like at the hotel to have a few drinks myself  Saw some of the members I know  from waitressing & bartending . There always nice, decided after yesterday to ty to recall more of what happens with them instead of just trying to remember there names and SMILE SMILE SMILE  One member was telling his out of town friends  about something funny  I saw at his table and TBH I couldn't ; recall it . So just went into a acting /big phony mode and laffed at what he was saying nodding my head as if I knew what the hell he was talking about .................. .


Did see a few  known characters including the 50 something snotty drunk Mrs .Werner and her teetotalling  intense analer then Anal husband who is so formal I think even she must call him Mr.Werner . As usual she was walking around with a drink in her hands , smiling , and making catty comments  to whoever she found herself in front off.  . Was funny to see some noticing the vile creature headed there way and suddenly  head  someplace else.............. But then again saw Mr.Poe who is friendly enough and  like me a genuine 'billy who they say got rich in the trucking business. Started out  with one truck doing all the work himself and now owns a whole  fleet of 18 wheelers. A nice man, you can tell he hasn't let money go to his head and when you see him swigging  beer from a bottle it looks so natural..............


I left at 5PM and ended up getting a little manioc on my way to the hotel .Everyone hates being rushed and Iw anted to take shower before clocking in but got held up by a police roadblock . They were doing checking for holiday drunk drivers . kind of silly , the cops were all dressed up in jump suits and helmets like they were fighting to Iraq . There were 2 lines and soon noticed how older people and anyone with kids in the car got passed right thru , young and single people though like moi were stopped and given a once over & warrants check also having to produce the car papers .It only made me more tense and started perspiring . After checking me out was let go but was still even more ansy .............


Made it to the hotel with 35 minutes to spare though ! Took a shower and dressed in the black cocktail waitress dress . Worked a 175 person wedding which as pretty much the same as most of the 40 or so weddings I work every year except for a few things .As usual weird Norm didn't do his share standing alone at his station all nite while moi was swamped .but instead of meat they served salmon for diner, had a 6 piece band I'd never seen before up all the way from Nashville that did all kinds of music real well, and the brides daddy who was two hoots and a hollar .because of him the nite stands out to me . He was real rich but didn't seem that way coming off as a colossal buffoon in this tacky sky blue tuxedo the men in the wedding party were wearing and more to the point looking and acting just like the 'Skipper' on the older then old GILLIGANS ISLAND tv show . Always laffing or smiling but nothing phony about it either . He was real proud of his daughter and new son in law and the biggest party animal I ever saw .He was nice to all of us working the party and the guests too. At one point was leading a conga line and later doing the MACARENA with his grand kids laffing all the time . Best of all he first gave me a $ 100 tip then a few seconds later turned around and gave me another $50 ..........................

Heading out in the country club polo shirt and tan shorts again for work , there finishing up in the dryer right now. Later head to Karin's folks where she and the whole family will be .

Monday and since it's my day off I should be in a great mood like I usually am but not today . Feel tired and sore and mentally blaaah Really was not a great week-end at all. The only thing I had fun doing was seeing our little friend Ying Ying and her girl scout troop in a parade on the 4th , sexxing Karin saturday morning when she got home from work ( after rough shifts I want to drink while she has to f*ck ) , and the wedding I worked on saturday nite with the crazy but fun father of the bride and the $150 tip he gave me .......... .But other things left me pissed off and full of general neagativityness......................


Part of it was my attitude about the 4th of july moi also posted about here at FF .Sorry but this year couldn't get into it since America is in such terrible shape . Getting all excited with the way things are made about as much sense to me as if the people on the TITANIC had a shivaree as the ship went down . We've got a recession thats getting worse every day , 2 wars , the housing crisis ,good paying jobs being exported ,and more and more Mexicans sneaking in that will probably be taking over the country in a generation or two unless someone does something and soon !!!!! .


But now think maybe I was wrong to be so cynical to the point of cutting myself off from fun .Life's hard enough so do think people should take every chance they get to party & have fun . The 4th of july being a great chance to do that . Also as rotten as things are now you have to be for your country and enjoy it's birthday . Maybe I'll try making up for it by throwing myself into the next big national holiday which is Labor day come september . With so many people losing there jobs nowadays me just having a job is good enough reason to celebrate !


Also worked too much which can take alot out of me . It's not like I am one of those yuppys who live for there careers but moi works as much as she can since we need the money & TBH I don't ever want to be dirt poor again . Also on the positive side like working and could never be happy staying to home . But I can overdo it and that takes alot out of me . Worked 13 hours saturday with a big part of it outside in the heat & humidity . Also 7 hours sunday the whole time out on the porch in the heat and humidity . :


Yesterday really sucked at the country club .They told me I'd only have to work 4-5 hours with me thinking I could get over to the bar b que at Karin's folks and have some middle class family fun . But nope, the golf tourny got intense so after it ended ( with a rich guy named something like Prentiss Van Smythe the 4th winning ) the mostly penis person crowd wanted to stay drink and talk and talk some more about the tournament .They were having a great time with the time flying by and didn't seem to want to leave . Men and their sports talk ........................ It was dragging out so much with no end in site Nikki the server whose a rich people worshiper usually always happy to be around them even got tired of it and suddenly remembered she had to get her kids ready to go off to summer camp and deserted leaving me alone to work the rich guys drinking & slapping each other on the back session . Moi endured , the boys always wanted more alcohol or for me to bring in more munchies . Also started calling me MISSY which they either thought was my name or was probably a rich people word for lowly hired help . Then again that was still better then 'Lil Beaver ' which was the stage name of a stripper my best friend once worked with ..............


As we headed in hour 7 the fellows were really getting into there penis person session going over every detail of the tournament ( including the different kinds of mud they came across on the green ) and tales of past tournys .Although I was keeping up with the orders and smiling from ear to ear was by then getting angrier and angrier . Inside i just wanted to scream out " ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOU RICH F*CKERS , I WANT TO GO HOME SO THIS IS LAST CALL !!!!! " But of course didn't . Was about ready to cry when this long winded old lawyer started telling the history of the golf and also tennis tournaments at the club going into every detail about both no matter how small ! . But luckily for me as who I was now calling the 'Babling old gasbag " was going on and on one of the other men got a call from home and said he had to go . It caused a near stampede leaving the old talk too mucher with hardly any audience . So after 3 minutes he finnally shut up and I got to go !!!!


I got home spent only wanting to have a cold beer or two .Karin was home to and just as beat as moi , comlete with a migraine . With her not from too much work but the usual stress that comes from being around her perfectionist mother .LIke vodka before you know it you've had too muc of beinga round her.Yesterday karin said she was angrily obsessing about where her still unborn grandchild will go to school and what suit her husband should wear to a big meeting today . That woman is so intense and Anal I can't undertsand why she hasn't exploded by now . :roll Made a few posts here and went to bed sleeping soundly

After getting all that out am starting to feel better . Gues we will go kayaking and try to have some fun ...................


Today will be my swim suit & lite blue T shirt and jean short shorts

[swee.]

My Christian lips are ready for a sukk.

[Lena]

They say life is taking the good and bad and yesterday we had both .After the way I was so in general annoyed yesterday morning it's great most of the day was fun since am sure had the crap hit first I wud have been in a bad mood the whole day . Probably even now too . Now can take it all in perspective and am OK mood wise .


After finishing here we went over to Karin's brothers and got the kayaks and car carrier.Really do have to get better at putting that sucker on , you have to be very careful to do not right or the boats will fly off ! Don't want to see them ruined crashing on the cement or get into any trouble if they were to fly off and hit another car or someone on the corner . For now Karin has to handle the loading with me as her obedient helper .


Kayaking still is great fun in sooooooooo many many ways ! The last time we were on the Ohio River which is so big with such strong currents it felt like we were on the ocean .This time took a different tack ( thats sailor talk !, my oh my aren't I getting sophisticated ) and stayed in town going to Beargrass state park which is in the actual city and huge . Also is next to another city park that makes it even bigger. Inside the park it doesn't feel like your in the biggest city in the state but way up in the hills with civilization a million miles away Just so quiet and peaceful with trees and bushes everywhere We paddled down the creek which was so narrow a couple of times we had to pull over to the side so canoes heading in the opposite direction could get thru . We joked about how it was like we were explorers going into unknown country . But it was after all right in the middle of town that gets tens of thousands of visitors every year . A fact proven by the site of a few beer cans along the banks and a cheap pink plastic clog that they sell at the grocery store floating by .


We also went into the park's swamp or in politically correct speak the 'wetlands ' part . I Although a little creepy what with lime green pond scum floating by and jillions of dead trees along with my fear of running into 'gators ( we have them in the west side of the state and moi was thinking some may have found there way here and might eat us ) that was still fun .But the creepyness soon got fun , appealing to my goth side I guess . Out in the swamp we saw some more interesting things . Starting with this real fat unshaven guy in army type clothes in a canoe .We said hi but he didn't respond , just paddled by as if we weren't even there. Did notice he had big blank empty eyes too........... . Karin was saying later that it's a good thing we came across him there in the pond of the swamp rather then in the creek that seemed so isolated since she wud have been terrified .I laffed and amened her, maybe he was one of those insane Viet Nam vets you hear about or some oddball militia type or maybe even a serial killer ? Along with him also saw some beavers scurrying around I think building a nest and some crows circling something way off in the reeds .


It'd been cloudy all day so it was no surprise when the rain hit . So not wanting to be struck by lightening ( although do wonder if being hit by lightening might cure my psych issues and maybe even give me superhuman powers too ) we went back to shore and waited the storm out underneath the tin roof covering a picnic table & grill. That was nice , we didnt tall much but just sat /laid down on the table watching the rain . The both of us feeling very peaceful and relaxed . I swear water has magical powers .................


After the rain let up we cruised around for another hour or so having more fun . Then headed back to the car loading up the kayaks .We dropped the boats and carrier back at Phil & Denise's , both were just back from work and while real nice even asking us to stay for diner we could tell they wanted to be alone to chill so we got out real quick . On the way home stopping off at KROGERS which is the big grocery store chain here . As always we stopped planning to get just a few things but left with 6 bags and spending close to $60........................ Why does that always happen ? Then went home where Karin made a lite pasta salad............ macaroni, tuna , olives, celery , green pepper & red onions bits


The nite was nice & simple ...........we both noticed how good we felt again after kayaking . You feel so strong & healthy since the whole upper body gets a great work out and also the soul feels like it's been washed clean .Dinner was good and we killed a bottle of Pinot Noir we picked up on sale. Not bad but I'll be sticking with merlots and Cabernets , am such a wine gourmet . Watched some news and a movie with Meg Ryan and Lisa Kudrow about sisters which was completely different from my experience with my own sisters, the women in the movie all got along . Nobody was arguing or threatening each other or putting moves on each others men or stealing each others dope stash Steve from upstairs dropped by too ,wanted to show off his weight loss. He's down from 250 pounds to 200 pounds and looking great . He says his sarge is off his back ,his gf Miss Dolores is happy , and he can get into all kinds of old clothes and old uniforms . We may go out with him and Dolores next week , as I thought about it America is sure getting liberal . I mean a generation or two ago who wud have ever thought a liberal same sex couple wud be planning a nite out on the town with a straight couple who are right wingers and polices ?


But the crap hit at 9:30 PM just as we were headed to bed for something delicious .As we were walking with our arms around the others waist the phone rang and it was Karin's cousin Cate , the 21 year old product of the middle class who is on a downward spiral which now has her trying to live the life of gangsta rap but if she lives headed for life as a homeless wino Cate wanted help , this time for a ride back to her temporary home in a wild part of town . She as at a big mall about 25 minutes from us and her expected ride hadn't shown up and whoever it was wasn't answering there phone .......... So after sighing about no nookie time together we got our shoes and the car keys and headed over to get her................ what could you do ?:roll:


We took Karin's jeep since I figured there was since there was less chance of it getting us carjacked in the semi jungle where Cate stays then my little Kia . The word on the street is car thieves and car jackers are now interested in small fuel efficient cars , I guess the high price of gas has even hit criminals ! I drove too since Karin wanted to talk to her cousin and TBH even though I said nothing me driving was safer since I was les likely to fall for any scam that crooks use to steal your car and although am definitely no tough guy wud be more likely to drive over the head of any carjacker with a gun then my good person beloved ......................


The mall was closed and no surprise deserted .It also looked creepy and lonely with nobody around too .The huge parking lot was all lit up by overhead lites however there were hardly any cars .But there by KOHLS was Cate hunched over sitting on a planter with a huge plastic bag in front of her along with 2 nylon bags with what I don't know in them . She smiled at first seeing us but before even getting in the car went back to being her usual withdrawn and pouty self . She thanked us for picking her up then just stopped talking sitting there as silent as a potted plant or rock .Real ironic as we drove out of the mall parking lot spotted a woman in a winter coat ( even though it was close to 90 degrees) talking to her self pushing a shopping cart full of all her life's possessions .............


There together in the back seat Karin tryed getting info from her but it was hard since Cate was so silent and cold .When Karin asked why she was so far away from her new home Cate just said she had 'business' on the east side then shut up .Did admit her old car broke down then got towed by the city . Am sure they've crushed it by now . Also how she hasn't had any real meal in a few days but that was OK since she can't keep anything down . Right away Karin asked if she's pregnant with the usually quiet/withdrawn Cate breaking out into laughter saying "Fuckin sh*t NO ! " .....................


After that Cate wudn't reply to anything Karin asked and fell asleep . Moi figured she'd been up to no good being at the mall and was doped up . Don't know about being pregnant , good lord I hope not since she'd be as bad a mom as my sisters .We made great time in maybe 30 minutes we manged to go from the east side of the metro area past downtown to Cate's new 'home' on the near West End .A mainly black area, not as wild as where grew up thats for sure . But still you could tell it was rough .My gf who is no bigot but a product of the 'burbs where the city is seen as too dangerous to be in after dark was now terrified we'd be robbed /raped/chopped up by the locals . Cate didn't help , she woke up and started talking about how we shouldn't linger a round since" Too much sh*t happens around here " ................There were 5 teen age black guys on the lawn of the wood frame house covered with chipping white paint where we dropped Cate off but when she passed them not a one said hello and she just ignored them . That told me she was the gf of a guy in the house and nobody wanted to risk trouble with him by being too friendly to his woman .


On the way home Karin was real worried about Cate what with seeing how depressed she looks , being drugged , the idea she may be pregnant ,and staying in the slums complete with a posse of wanna be gangstas on the front lawn , and lord knows whatever going on the inside of the house . I understood and tryed listening as good as I could . You can call me a insensitive bitch but since that kind of stuff is all old news to me and paid more attention to the driving and looking at the city at nite . Kind of pretty in it's own shining neon lites and speeding cars way ................


Back home the latest Cate episode took over for the next several hours , no sex for me . Do understand , caring about each other is so middle class and thats the world Karin is from . First she talked to her dad whose sister is Cate's mom then a hour later we got a call from Cate's step father Adam from Los Angeles , her mom couldn't talk since she had to run to her PILATES session at the health club ..................he said she'd call today but so far hasn't.Maybe got tied up at a a wine and cheese tasting party ? In a nutshell Karin's dad was glad to hear what had happened but being a nice man was sad about it , Karin says he thinks Cate's headed to a early grave . Also told Karin NEVER to go in Cate's neighborhood again as if she was 10 years old and he could boss her around . I thought it was cute though , again since he cares about his daughter . Karin's uncle Adam whose a colossal wind bag and know it all sounded like he was upset too but as usual gave Karin a big lecture about Cate and life in the slums .......................... During it all moi went to sleep .


So that was the good and bad of yesterday .They also say that you have to live thru whats between the good and bad which I guess is just average daily life and thats definitley a regular day like today . Karin 's calmed down today too which is very good to see , still worryed but back to our basic attitude that Cate has to help herself and we're not going to drive ourselfs crazy worrying .We're going out for lunch soon . She has to go in early to work , instead of clocking in at 11PM Karin goes on at 8 PM to help cover in the ICU . Moi has to work at the country club again , at least tonite will be in in the air conditioned inside though


So today in a pink tank top and white gym shorts .At work the uniform of the white blouse, Kelly green jumper dress along with nude thigh tops and brown flats ..................

[Lena]

Already mentioned it in the regular blog section but my 2 blogs now have over 250,000 combined hits. Am very happy so many of you take the time to read and I will try to keep being interesting . I go over to spend the day with my best friend Leslie tomorrow so knowing her will sure to have some fun info .................


Please check out today's other entry in the regular blog section , eternally narcissistic moi goes on about the blogs success , finding at least in one way I look like supermodel Kate Moss , and turning 28 ! Not much happened yesterday , again one of those real life days where nothing that stands out iin your life occurs . Thats OK , too much to often wud burn me out .


Also my congratulations to karrin and Tamachant for there upcoming babys . karrin already has a great track record as a mom and am sure she'll do great with the new arrival . The baby will be very lucky to come into a home with alot of love and motivation to do good in life. Tamachant is a remarkable person with so much going for her . Am positive she'll give her baby the same adventurous spirit and curiosity she has . For now moi will have to be content with her cats and having the mind of a child ...............


As far as yesterday goes we had a nice low cal lunch at the salad bar place. Moi pigging out on lettuce, tomatos & cucumbers with vinegar & oil sauce. The table full of cakes was a challenge to deal with though , but being so weak and selfish broke down and had 2 pieces of Devils food cake with vanilla frosting .Later felt guilty , gave some thought to pirging but didn't . Although I don't want to get fat was stopped when suddenly some bad memorys of my old days as a active anorexic and bulimic came back . Skipped dinner instead but did have some wine and lettuce back home later .


Worked at the country club . Carlene is back from her dream vacation out west .Complete with a deep tan and ring .................... It sounded very romantic, the retired sergeant proposing at dusk on the back porch of the cabin at this resort in Idaho overlooking a river . Carlene is thrilled !!!! She says her daughter Rachel is happy too along with her adult kids. At 49 she's as excited as any teen-ager I've seen about to get married . Have to start work on a shower for her now ................ We were steady too, must have been the cooks nite off at home since we had more then the usual number of whole familys .


Back home watched some tv then all of a sudden was shaken by the loud sound of a ambulance siren then the sounds of the sirens from 2 police cars screaming down the street outside . They were all in a hurry going fast with the overhead lites of the cop cars swirling around sending streaks of red and blue lite into our condo .A few moments later another marked police car followed by a unmarked car also came zooming down the street with there lites blazing way too. Moi wondered what was going on , things like that don't hapen in thsi neighborhood . Maybe Karin's cousin Cate and her homeys robbed someone or did my cousin Gaylord escaped from the Castle and was back chasing after some more underage girls ? Was curious so went out on the porch but couldn't see anything . So took the key for Fawn and John's penthouse unit ( we're feeding the cat and watering the plants while there on vacation to Egypt ) and going out on there roof top patio could see maybe 2 ambulances and 6 cop cars around a house maybe 4 blocks up .............and then like magic 3 police cars at the corner by our place. I called 911 to ask what was shaking but got nothing , the operator just laffed saying it was all just normal patrol .Doubt it ! Made sure to double lock the front door when I went to bed .Jogging this morning up where all the action was heard some people talking about cops with automatic rifles and dogs................have to ask Steve upstairs to find out what happened since he's a police himself .


Yesterday may have dressed like teen-ager but today am going out more mature looking . In one of the new outfits we got at the hijacked truck scale .........a pink combed cotton v neck top and matching plaid shorts , lite and liter pink checks on white . At work tonite since I am trying to be more mature the black cocktail waitress dress , nude garter stockings , and black flats . Also in case anybody wants to know again to act more my age white bikini briefs.

[Guest]

ohhh me so horny....ohhh me so horny....ooooh me sooo horny....

[Lena]

Not much to say today .......................wait till tomorrow though .Heading over to Leslies today so no doubt will be back with more storys from her wilder then wild life. Even now as a stay at home mom am sure Leslie is getting into more mischief then the average person could ever think of getting into.


Yesterday this blog had about 115 hits which is about normal while the one in the regular blog area had about 700 hits . Good lord ! That amazed even moi . A friend here says to copyright everything or risk one day turning on tv or going to the movies seeing a show about the life of a pomosexual bartender in the upper south . Hmmmm...................


Wonder how any movie or tv show like that wud do in Europe , especially far off backward places like Albania and Russia ? Or for that matter in old fashioned middle eastern countrys where they have tons of oil and men drive around in white robes going from harem to harem with there wives staying home ? Maybe my life which in the end is all about me standing on my two feet going thru life ( and in the past also being based on me laying on my back ) could be a inspiration to women there to stand up for themselves? Actually things posted here have found a global audience before .The lesbian orgy thread a few years ago was seen by American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq no doubt improving there morale .......................or making them incredibly horny .


Called the police to find out what the big commotion around our house was the other nite but again got no answer . All the corpoal said was 'routine patrol ' leaving it at that . But thats a lie , bunches of cop cars and talk of polices running around with M16 rifles is routine in my old neighborhood but definitely not in this part of town Who knows what happened ? Am going to ask Steve whose a rail cop to look into it since our police whose salary we pay sure aren't telling us taxpayers anything !


Work went fine last nite , instead of the usual penguin suit on wednesday wore black cocktail waitress since I wanted to feel more mature . I mentioned that in the other blog yesterday , am very conscious am almost out of my 20's and want to act like a adult woman . Didn't do any of the u other stuff I can do either like going barefoot from the locker room to Concierge Lounge or having more then a few drinks when I was there when no customers were around .Was even better in the bar ,itself except for my usual 11PM pick me- up drink didn't touch a drop all the time there .Kept the flirting to a minimum all nite too which is harder then it seems since unless I know them / there already friends have a hard times NOT adding sex to any talk with men . Call it insecurity ................. But did try to be friendly but not a tease and don't think I did to bad .Really do have to find a way to deal with men without the bedroom eyes and ' I want to f*ck you ' vibes but still be friendly ........................wish there was a pill to take to be able to that .


The baby boom going on all around me continues both here at FF and in real life. My buddy Rosalind at work is now in her 4th month and showing ! This is going to be a big baby She still plans to work up until about the 6th or 7th month since like everyone else they need the money .The word was Barb in security was preggers too but that turned out to be false . Last nite Barb told me when she heard she was shocked but flattered . But says thats not on the schedule till after she gets hired as a police and makes it thru the probation period . Good thinking and am glad someone else is also pushing motherhood back . For the last year or so anytime someone I know gets pregnant I start worrying about it and hearing my biological clock ticking ..............as I push toward 30 it's getting louder and louder too


Off to see the Les ...................... As big a idiot as she can sound reading about her whe you meet her you see what a really great gal she is . We've been friends since we were 13 having gone thru all sorts of wild times as well as peaks and valleys together .Whenever I sit and think about them like now can easily laff or get shocked about somethings we did and didn't wind up in prison or dead ................. Have much to catch up on , only hope we don't get drunk or high since I have to work tonite .................


Heading over in a white T shirt and short jean cut-offs .Les no doubt'll be in the latest summer outfit so we Will look like quite the mismatched pair to anyone who's us , but that's the way it's always been . She's always dressed better and without going into it looks like a young Jennifer Connolly complete with 34d breasts and long legs while moi is of course 'appearance challenged '...................... Oh well I get by .................... At work tonite again the black cocktail waitress dress , nude nylon and black flats .













copyright 2008 by MLJ........................am making sure I get my cut when this blog is turned into a series of movies with Neve Campbell or a TV show that makes a star out of some unknown actress as moi .

[Lena]

Slow here at FF .Too bad , we all like it lively .But slowness happens , things will pick up .


Didn't make it to Leslie's yesterday , she called saying to come over today instead . Turns out she had to be at baby Grady's day camp for something .Could get mad but won't since want to see Les do good at the mother thing and she's such a good friend . Looking forward to today now , should be extra nice.


Instead of seeing Les kept busy doing other things . Took Marie our cool 70 something neighbor to the dentist , she doesn't like driving after he numbs her. After she wanted to take em out to lunch as a thank you but was still drowsy so I passed .Also wud have hated to see her have any accidents trying to eat while still doped up . I have plenty of experience seeing how hard and also funny that can be . Wud never want to see senior embarrass herself dropping forks and spilling soda over themselves like I have with so many of my friends when they've mixed drugs and eating


And played here , had fun tormenting the Jolie cultists . The forum is insane We all need heroes I guess and moi can certainly get star struck when seeing some celebritys at the hotel whee I work ( Willie nelson will be back in a few weeks ) but being obsessed with 2 selfish movie stars like the people there are is downright goofy . What is the big deal about Jolie and Pitt? Do those cultists think either one cares about anyone /anything other then themselves ? But must admit after seeing so many caught up in them I honestly feel like I am the sanest person on the planet ...............


I am continuing to try to be more mature and calm .Like the day before didn't drink to much on the job and flirt my head off. Both can be hard but have to put the effort in since I don't want to go thru life acting like a teen-ager and the big 3-0 is coming up . First did the Concierge Lounge which was dead then got lively and after that a private party then the bar . Took over from weird Norm in the bar who told me he's now a follower of Nostradamus and thinks he can study Nostradamus and soon be able to predict the future . Maybe the typical insane weird Norm ( he also believes in outer space aliens being the first people on earth , the Illuminati & something called the oligarchy runs Canada ) but this time I hope so . Wud be nice if he could tell the future since it wud really help investing in the stock market and betting on sports events .


Karin is crabby and not easy to be around at times . I may have to use a whip and chair to deal with her like a lion tamer at the circus . being overworked at the hospital since it's vacation season and the place is short handed .Everyone has to do more and often work longer to make up for people gone . Naturally more is expected from the younger nurses ............... Her hospital is like the ER show or for that matter the hotel where I'm at with something crazy always happening .But she can't enjoy the lunacy since her job is so important and you have to give all your attention to the patients .They also have quite the gay underground at her hospital but there but it's no big deal .You can be out but as long as you do your job thats NO problem . Hooray for the medical world ! For awhile we had our own little bi & gay clique at the hotel too but had to be VERY VERY VERY quiet about it since sexuality could always be used against you in office politics Back to Karin , when she gets home in a hour or so will see what her mood is and if bad plan to toss raw meat in her direction then run ......................


Have the news on . See the old egomaniac Jesse Jackson mad a fool of himself dissing Obama . It comes off as jealousy since Obama has really shoved him aside as the leading black politician in America. CNN said even Jackson's son whose a congressman broke with his daddy . TBH have known many people who worship Jesse Jackson and I agree with him on many issues But also have heard others say he's a fake too or a vain old egomaniac so it figures something like this wud happen . The other interesting thing was on BBCAMERICA where they said Iran's missile may not be all that it's cracked up to be ,even saying the Iranians doctored photos to make the missile look more powerful then it really is . Thats amazing and a huge relief since it works against all the propaganda for the last 2 days about Iran's missile as if there about to use it now .No doubt all part of little georgey's and the israel lobbys campaign to get us in a war with Iran ASAP .................. Thank you BBCAMERICA for helping avoid another war and the deaths of more Americans ..............


Today will be going out in a white T shirt and jean cut -offs. Taking along my bathing suit for Les's pool . At work tonite the penguin suit and orthies . Looking forward to catching up with Les although do expect as always 90% of the conversation will be about none other then Les.........................















cpyright 2008by MLJ ...........................sorry FF , I luv you but don't want to turn on tv some day seeing a show based on this blog by FEMALEFIRST PRODUCTIOSN LTD. with moi not getting a penny .

[Lena]

Today's fresher then fresh post will be later.Am off to play tennis this morning with my bitches ................

Check back in , will be about my day with my friend Leslie .Including me making one UPS delivery guy very happy , rambling on about the joys of friendship and even Les's not so accidental rubbing of what my gf calls the ' Holyest of holys' when we were taking turns giving each other massages poolside .

Work got wild later , the air conditioning broke down and I ended up sweltering in the bar . Nasty .

Be back later......................

[Lena]

Am finally here. Sorry about not getting back yesterday , I am scum for posting I'd get some thing up then not doing that . I planed too but we ended up playing more tennis then planned and at work couldn't since for the very first time ever on a saturday  the Concierge Lounge was busy .The dam people expected me to do my job and not have fun ..............  


Some notable things this week-end . The  very most important  being spending friday with my best friend Leslie .It's  been a few months when we spent any real time together , years actually since we had a whole day to ourselves   . Do think most  friendships need something like that , you get a chance to recharge and make more more memorys .As insane as she can be Les is one of a handful of people who I feel closest too in life.She's right up there with my gf along with cousin Francie and the whole Simms family . Whenever  am around  her it  feels so natural and I love knowing she feels the same way  It's been that way since we hooked up at 13 , she was already a friend of cousin Francie when we moved here.She's just as perverted as moi ( yes she's a alcoholic and pomosexual too and we've slept together more times then I can count for fun ) but prettyer and underneath it all alot smarter then me  .  Over the years we've had all kinds of fun and adventures along with going thru some good and terrible times together . She can get on my tits ( like when she used me as babysitter while she went off to copulate with her bf's and not so long ago trying to get me to cheat on Karin by joining her and this boi in bed )  but in the end we'll always be friends ...............


She's now staying at her ex's farm ( RANCHO MACHO as we now call it since the whole place is so macho with things like guns on the wall and a Marine corps flag waving in front ) while he's working in Iraq watching the place and her soon to be 7 year old son Grady . Going to school too, wants to get out of stripping & bartending . I can't blame her, we're both getting too old for the world of saloons .  We met there to RANCHO MACHO and right away picked up where we left after kissing on the mouth we went into joking and laffing .I felt warm right off  Also the big difference was there too but that was OK , she's a 10 while I am a  definite 5 and she takes the whole appearance thing more important then  I do now .Les's long  brunette hair was shining , her make-up was perfect too. Also in stylish summer clothes that said comfortable and sophisticated .: a white blouse with 3/4 length sleeves and matching 3/4 length white pants . Accessories included a white and red Kate Spade  purse,  gorgeous topaz earrings and necklace with  these white wedgies  . The clothes from the MARILYN KING COLLECTION apart moi was living up to her title as the queen of unfashion in a white T shirt & jean  short shorts .................. I won't even get into whats always been the biggest difference between us  to me , namely that Les has  breasts  that stick out in front of her while moi is still waiting for hers to pop up .  


We hopped in Bill's huge YUKON SUV , the biggest car I have ever been in . Do believe Les wanted to show off , the huge pricey car , her stylish clothes ,and look at me attitude created quite a image and thats all important to her . We chatted and listened to music in the car . Naturally Bill had satellite radio which Les loves but gets annoyed whenever she turns it on to hear all his oldies and country stations .Thats what happens when someone born in 1981  drives around the car of someone born in 1950.................. Later I helped he reset the stations to music for the living ...............


We headed over to a farmers market since there always fun and  now ( despite our shared alcoholism ) we both try to eat healthy .A nice day for it too, the markets outside in a parking lot . The sky was cloudy which for me was great since it gave atmosphere and the brite southern sun  can be  a pain  . The farmers market was great too, although  saturday is the big day there friday was real busy being full of shoppers  mostly yuppy types ( you knew that even   before going in seeing all the SUV's and imported cars parked outside ) who also all seem to want to eat healthy and even a few seniors . Naturally the customers and farmers looked completely different : the yuppy women either dressed like  Leslie or in designer  gym shorts while the farmers were in old often ragged and dirty clothes that made no fashion sense. A few black farmers selling there too which is rare , hardly any blacks left in farming anymore .Alot of fresh corn , tomatoes , and other vegetables sold from mainly the back of trucks or under tents they rent there  .Also many of down on the farm homemade things from cider to peanut brittle to pies  . Some farmers had plastic bags while others didn't expecting you to bring your own , like liquor to a party I guess .


Plenty of atmosphere too. for awhile  old man and 2 little girls were singing while  playing guitars & fiddles  .All standard hillbilly stuff too............ROCKY TOP TENSESSE , WOLVERTOIN MONTAIN and I SAW THE LITE.  . Two smiling polices rode by on mountain bikes too, easy duty for them  Moi was loving it and going barefoot which enjoyed Les, she told me were grown ups and can't and besides in a disdaining  way we don't want anyone thinking we're country folks ...................   Moi wasn't scared and stayed barefoot continuing to shop and people watch . Also had  a ice cream sandwich  bar from a guy going around with a ice cream cart  , was fatty but delicious . had to laff seeing Les across the lot having her ear chewed off by some old goomer in his 60's . That's the price of being gorgeous , you get hit on by ALL kinds of penis people even 70 somethings with hair flowing out of there ears and nose like him .  .The old boy who was selling rutabagas and potatoes thought he was quite the rooster, trying to look cool in his own truck farmer way with a ball hat , cowboy vest , and black T shirt complete with a gold chain .  Despite him being old enough to be her granddaddy and  definitely not rich ( which for Les wud be a huge turn -on even if a guy looked like the fullback of Notre dame )  Les's love of male attention kept her there listening away as ' Senior stud ' told her how pretty she was and saying things like how black eyed women like her (actually her eyes are dark hazel ) are so foxxy and dangerous . After going on 10 minutes I could tell she was getting bored and the geezer wasn't going to shut up so went over and rescued Les.Funny to how she was grateful to be saved but at the same time thought the old dude  was nice. He must have brought out a regular person side to Leslie  since she was now more into the  whole country /farmers market thing  going barefoot and grooving to old mountain music .


After that we talked about   going downtown for lunch at this new sidewalk cafe but decided not too since it'd be to busy  so we headed back to RANCHO MACHO . Les whipped up a cucumber and tomato salad  and we rounded it off with chilled  white wine . The kitchen is gorgeous , even has  a island with running water and this cleaner then clean looking steel dishwasher all the way from Sweden . Bill really put alot of money and work into fixxing up the place. Still the kitchen is even macho  , the fridge is still full of long neck bottles of BUDWEISER  beer which he loves , about a million of them are piled on top of each other     . . After that we put on on our suits and went to the below the ground pool to swim , sunbathe and most of all talk  .


Out on the chaise lounges beside the pool we talked . Les  did ask if things were still good at home and I said yes . She  smiled saying that's good although do know she never liked Karin ( seeing her as too traditional and no fun ) and wants moi back as a  drinking/looking for men  buddy  At least she asked  and tryed to seem happy for me .though .    After a few more glasses of the white wine Les made herself the main topic ( of course !! ) went into how hard things were at the start of being a stay at home mom and going to school . She really sounded overwhelmed and while better now is till in edge by it all.  Got more and more agitated talking about how she had to get up early for the first time in years to get Grady off to school then day camp . Even had to pack him a lunch which she said at first was a apple and box of juice.The school complained o she then had to start making sandwiches which she also saw as a huge pain . Sounds bad but you have to take into consideration Les's own mom never did stuff like that , always being asleep , drunk or high along with chasing men who were even bigger scum then the ones my mom went for . Then there was the whole thing of getting Grady out the door which should be easy but with Les going outside( unless she's woken up at lovers or some strangers hotel room ) always means 2 hours getting ready .................. Then horror of horror's she had to watch Grady at nite not being able to party or even drink then get him to bed . She sounded exhausted at the end .


At one point she said it was all so much she was crying and not sleeping . Even  gave  thought about packing Grady off to his big sisters ( she's 32  from Bills first marriage ) up to  Canton Ohio but got talked out of it by our old friend Ronnie Raye . Les just happened to get a cal from her about getting the childrens together and broke out crying .Right way Ronnie Raye along with another old friend Corvah came over . They both went from being wild women ( Ronnie Raye slept with so many army guy there thinking of naming a  fort after her )  to pretty god moms . Les said they listened and laffed the whole  time nodding there heads knowing exactly what she was going thu . Then they  said they put it all into perspective of first how every mom goes thru this and you have to have the right attitude. Namely that the kids come first no matter what  Les said shew as amazed by that but that it figured . Again remember her own mom was about as nurturing as a cement block .................... For a few days Corvah or Ronnie Raye came by with there  kids to show how to act . Les really appreciated that but  is about dumbfounded any of us could turn out to be good moms who enjoy it too ! .


So now thanx to our old gang it's alot better for Les  .Still is overwhelmed but feeling better and more committed  doing a good by Grady .When you think of it that's all pretty amazing .Since meeting each other we've all been there for each other and shared plenty of knowledge ( although Corvah was dead wrong telling everyone when we were 15 you can't get pregnant washing yourself out right after sex )  and it's gone all the way to being a good mother ! All 3 of them are  taking the kids over to CREATION LAND next week , thats a big them park run by religious fanatics saying evolution didn't happen . 


But Les is still Les. has a crush on her writing teacher at LCC.................and he's married . Also when we were   then nude ( the pol is hid by a huge old barn ) giving each other massages by the pool Les got too friendly with moi . As I lay on my front she worked her way down my back starting with my shoulders ending at the waist then with there being no accident about it started massaging what Karin calls a woman's 'Holyest of holys '. OK I've been the no good cheating slut and I let her keep doing it for a few seconds since it just felt soooo good . But then again I don't want to be a no good cheating slut even if it is just a fun with a old friends who I actually have f*cked with so I  tuned around and taking my sunglasses off said "  No   " . Didn't seem to bother Les, she kept smiling and began to rub away at me in my new position I then screamed "Leslie " !! and jumped up .She got the message and backed off. Laffing he said living with Karin is making me boring , that made me a little mad so I said back to her " It's a new life like you being a good mom " 'Don't think she understood at first but then a real smile came over Les and she said OK . Then we went back to massaging each other, this time me doing her and stopping right at the waist too and will NEVER let Leslie give me another massage without some ground rules !!!! Although I may have let it go to far am proud I stopped things before they got out of hand ( unlike with Monica in the bathroom at Tinks ) and related to that this friendship has to be more adult like now Leslie now has with Corvah and Ronnie Raye since we're not wild kids any more and want to be true to Karin most of all.................


But did in a almost wholesome , there's nothing wrong with the human body way did get to be flashy trashy .The UPS truck came by when we were both at the pool and Les didn't want to go to the trouble of getting back in her bikini so moi went to sign for the package . The driver lit up like a neon sign seeing me come around the barn naked asa jaybird .....................was all matter of fact , the two of us pretending me being nekkid was nothing unusual . I wonder if he laffed as hard about it as Les and I did there at poolside ? Our friend Corvah who I mentioned above also works at UPS , wonder if she heard about it and without even hearing a name knew straight off it was us ?


After taking a shower thats out in the open at the pool ( felt very naturey like I was under a waterfall back in the hills left at 4PM for work .Les had to get moving too , having to pick up Grady at day camp . A nice day and it got even nicer when Les actually apologised for trying to get me to cheat and even dissing Karin . That was very nice and we hugged and pecked each other . Don't know about her but moi felt more grown -up .............


Off to work the country club , this time a family reunion or something like that . Already have the tivo set up to record the new FOYLES WAR that starts tonite Heading out in my seersucker dress that is white with lite blue pinstripes & button up front .At the country club the uniform of a white blouse, Kelly green jumper dress, nude garter stockings & brown flats .........................












c.2008 By MLJ ............................have to watch out for moi .Wud be very annoyed to see this become a hugely popular movie making FA & her hubby along with Judgey & Web Monkey all rich then on a yacht of the Algarve while I'm cleaning up after a drunk who got sick at the hotel.

[Lena]

Good morning or whatever time it is where your at .................

Nice day here, sunny and will be in the mid mid 80's .We're going for a drive in the country , heading south to see Mammoth cave and all these little towns . Will mostly skip the freeway and take back roads since you see the most interesting things going on them .


Gave some more thought to my time with Leslie friday which had me feeling good . Am of course most proud of saying no and in a definite way to Les' s kind offer to do some sport f*cking . One of the few times I've said no to anyone and really ironic since Les is so gorgeous and a natural born lover too. But fidelity is part of the deal with Karin and can't go back on it .There was also the whole self-control issue , the "if it feels good do it " attitude especially about sex is a huge problem in my family .Even if your married /mated /living with someone it's OK to have any extra fun that comes your way . In the end making trouble at home and after my experience with Monica making me feel like a unstable airhead . Good lord I'm talking like Fred 75!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But thats how it is for me .


Still have a way to go . May have turned down sex but did after still expose myself to the UPS man . A real grown up , at least a sober one wudn't have doe that . Guess moi is still in development
Oh well like they say Rome wasn't built in a day so neither can you become a responsible adult overnight either . Especially when exhibitionism is one of your more decadent hobbys .................


Can't blame Leslie for trying to get too friendly.By nature she's a sexual person so it's natural for her to be that way .Also since being best friends has involved all kinds of wild fun including decadent hedonistic totally self centered sport f*cking .............. Must confess it's always been great and very flattering to be wanted by another woman whose so much more attractive , like I she's a definite 10 while moi is a positive 5 . At times it's been funny too, after telling Les how I was sleeping around to get over breaking up with Jerry went to the fridge and when I turned around there she was taking off her dress and climbing in my bed joking like some penis person " If your serving hot southern fried love I want my piece " But more important really was impressed about Les apologized for trying to get me to cheat and bad mouthing Karin . That fit in with some other recent improvements on her part like trying to be a good mom and going to our friends for help in trying to do that . Good for Les !!!!


FF has been fun lately . Get happy seeing how karrin ,Tamachant and el colonel are expecting babys . Have had the same feeling ithe past with others like x Xx Lesley xX x , tecker , and of course karrin .Like too seeing on Who seems so pleased with thee positive responses his thread about adoption got . It's all bout kids finding homes where they'll be loved and taken care off. Saw the same thing with the now gone 5AM who was adopted by nice people too.Also all the recent fun in the jolie section .Love the now 8 page thread some psycho - paranoid or comedian put up there saying I'm really a Welsh woman living in America That's better then the 6 or 8 page thread once there calling for my banning /burning at the stake for ridiculing celebrity worship . Glad to see others join in the fun too mocking the obsession with jolie ...................


Worked a 150 person family reunion at the country club yesterday .Folks came from not just there but from all over the south and the rest of America .They all seemed to have plenty of fun , the adults were all in the dining hall with the teenagers out on the porch overlooking the golf course with some of the little kids in the pool . Worked with Meghan and Nikki serving , hardly any drinking which is pretty typical with these rich people ,especially black ones like yesterday . The member was a big surgeon , his wife and also brother are all doctors too. Even heard a few parents proudly talk how the kids or there SO's were in medical school too . Good place to be if you got sick .Meghan was fine but after awhile Nikki got on our nerves showing a pretty nasty side to herself .She's always been a rich people worshipper, infact a rich people wanna be trying to act like she's friends with the members . At first I thought it was to make more tips but after awhile Carlene and I came to the conclusion that Nikki likes pretending she's rich .As Tattoo on FANTASY ISLAND wud say ' Da plane da plane " But yesterday it went from just sillynes to nastyness. Nikki wasn't falling all over those people but being real formal and in the kitchen doing some pretty mean racist jokeing and acting like she was being punished or even tortured for having to wait on blacks . Meghan and I ignored her later saying how goofy Nikki was .Always wondered about those rich people worshippers................ However as degrading as Nikki may have thought serving blacks was doubt she turned down the Doc's $ 35 tip ..............


Back home had a great time seeing the start of a new season of FOYLES WAR . Really was like seeing old friends again .Happy to see Foyle came back to the police after quitting in disgust , quitting because of stupidity being something anyone anywhere in the work world can relate to ! I decided his driver Sam who is so wonderful has to have been MM6's /Jane_ 's granny . Both have the same honesty , brains ,and natural wonderfulness and are gorgeous too. I love Sam even more since last nite learned she has the same trouble typing as I do .............


Karin and I laffed at parts of last nite's show . The villain was this tall middle aged German guy who looked just like this old queen who used to have a gay bar here. That man seemed real mature and dignified but was also very excitable and we heard later muey KINKY . He sold out and moved to Mimi with the new owner finding what amounted to a torture chamber above the bar . Also the German guy was a Roman priest and really a nazi spy . Recalling all the anti Catholic stuff I heard as a a kid from my people said " Ah hah , all you Romanists and your priests are evil " to my Catholic Karin who started hitting me with a sofa pillow . She thought it was anti Catholic propaganda too .But it all worked out in the end , the priest wasn't really a priest after all with Foyle showing some respect for the Catholics .


So off on our road trip today . Going out in a navy blue T shirt and jean cut offs . Bringing along regular jeans for later .

[Lena]

........................Am almost too tired to post today . Had alot of fun yesterday on our 14 hour road trip to Mammoth Cave National Park but we over did it , that can happen when your having such a good time . Just like years ago when my then bf Jerry and the evil but fantastically sexual Colleen spent 3 days in bed ( with the aid of alcohol and some magical white powder from south America) but thats a whole other story ....................


Anyway moi is sitting here mentally refreshed but dead tired .Also have 'skeeter bites all over my arms & legs and even on the back of my neck .Still luckier then Karin who got bit in all those spots too by one on the top of her nose .D She's been fanatically rubbing it with alcohol to go away so she doesn't look like a witch or one of those carnival freaks .I also have a sore back from sitting in the car for 4 hours, plan to soak more in the tub to get back to normal . back pain is terrible to have . The worst though is the sunburn , unlike my much smarter nurse gf didn't use sun screen and got baked by the Kentucky summer sun . My face ,arms , and legs are all now red . For that matter so are my eyes from too much drinking . Well at least they all match ................ Am itching but the most painful is feeling the heat under the burn areas....... nasty!


We got off to Mammoth Cave National Park and had a great great time . Saw and did so much it was amazing .You forget sometime what a wonderful place is almost in your backyard . The park is only 90 minutes away. On the way home we also stopped off at the big Bernheim arboretum which may be no huge national park but is a pretty amazing place itself then still pretty wired & up for fun hit the bars here.


The park is huge having a whole lot more then just the cave. There rivers and forests with boating , camping & hiking . The cave is the longest in th world going something like 350 miles with more links to other caves still being found . There many legends about the cave too. The word is that the cave was discovered by a bear hunter 200 years ago, maybe but sounds a little too Davey Crockett ............. Also talk of horror storys and ghost talk There was once a radio preacher who said the cave is really the entrance to Hell itself . Also talk of the ghosts of slaves who were used to mine salt peter nearby , and even of a beautiful 16 year old girl who threw herself over the ledge inside after hearing her man who'd been killed in the civil war . I may laff at them storys now but know I wudn't want to be in the caves at nite to find out ........................ There's talk too the US Army even used the caves to practice underground warfare for Afghanistan .


The park too is surrounded by all sorts of tourist places from one place full of African animals running around freely down to tackyer then tacky but fun go-kart tracks one even with bungee cord jumping where this middle aged guy with a huge beer belly in a T shirt with a Confederate flag on front was getting his leg strapped to take the plunge . His buddy who had a mullet and was in a work shirt with the sleeves cut off was egging him on but either not as crazy or just plain chicken to jump too................ .No matter how tacky all those places that live off the park were doing good too.


The actual park may not get the massive crowds they get at Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon but there was still a mob of people . Waiting to get in we saw tags on cars from all over America and Canada ( including Prince Edward Island that we never knew about but found out was a little island in the ocean ) along with even from Mexico . Plenty of those huge RV's ( you'd have to be a jillionaire to own one now cause of the price of gas ) SUV's galore and vans vans vans ................ .Including a beat up old one with a peace symbol painted on the side being driven by what looked like to be old now white haired 1960's hippies and there big reddish brown dog out in search of America .They even had GRATEFUL DEAD music playing , couldn't tell if it was a radio or maybe 8 track tape from there time .Inside just standing around you see many southerners along with swarms of yankees all seeming to be wearing ball hats with the names of the local baseball teams .Along with all types of foreigners from Asians like Japanesse and Indians ( why the red dots on the women's heads ? ) to Europeans ( Karin heard Italian and French being spoken ) along with Mexicans & south Americans


Inside the park we waited to buy tickets for a tour inside, since it's national park I said to Karin it should be free to at least all American taxpayers who support it . All that got me was a cross look from her, we agreed I shouldn't bitch so much about having to spending money .So zipped myself up and stood there waiting & looking at all the people . Really were all kinds of folks with about everyone it seemed being in a happy mood and glad to be there . I guess you could call it the 'Spirit of vacation and good times ' The largest was by far the familys . Thats a good place for familys to go , although my people never did stuff like that going to a national park looks like the perfect family getaway . The familys were all a round us too . These people down from Pennsylvania people in front of us had 5 kids and the boys were going on and on all excited about this place that was like a little Australia complete with Australian animals and birds. Hope they make it to the land of Joffa , Fosters, and Boingo someday There were 2 familys from Japan behind us ,the women were really well dressed as I have heard everyone in Japan is since they are so fashion conscious and so conforming .Nice folks though , smiled and laffed all the time . They had Karin take a picture of them later inside . We have a free place to stay if we ever get to Yokohama too .


Also groups galore too............Girl Scouts, seniors from a nursing home , some retarded teen-agers , and at least 100 orthodox Jewish people from NYC who were having a good time with each other but sad to say down to the little children acting like everyone else was not there , even in the bathroom where I was the invisible woman among them . Maybe they were on guard being so far away from home or maybe thought they were too special to notice let alone interact with anyone else ? The strangest or better put most surprising bunch was a group of cave fanatics all the way from Denmark .I've crossed paths with sky diving fanatics and surfers but never people obsessed with caves . They had all this exotical equipment from walking sticks to helmets with lites on top ,knee pads, and radios .To each there own I guess, but do think drinking & flirting are easier and cheaper hobbys though , for moi anyway ........................


More tomorrow including about going into the cave and later our 4 hour canoe trip . Have to work tonite at the country club .......................baaaah .Not in the mood since I look like a tomato and am itching all over as well as just so tired . Wud love to stay here to home with the air on soaking in the tub . But as always we need the bank .Exhausted me will be stumbling /crawling out the front door in a red tank top and white jean mini and at the country club there uniform of a white blouse, Kelly Green jumper dress with nude garter stockings and brown flats.









c.2008by MLJ .............................I have been warned FF is going to have one of there writers redo this blog setting it in Wigan with me transformed into a Irish woman working at either the BRITTANICA HOTEL or THE IBIZA BAR . No way!!!!

[Lena]

No brite new day for moi . Am still tired from our road trip and also working last nite at the country club . Also didn't get to sleep all that well either. always getting up itching and from feeling the sun burn & heat surges in me . Am itching more from the sun burn right now too. Also my legs look like I ran thru thorns since there covered by nicks .That happened when I shaved yesterday with the razor cutting open many of the 'skeeter bites .................. May go over to the community pool to soak in the hot tub to chill before going into work tonite .


At first the country club was slower then molasses the old timers wud say .The dining hall is usually busy at 5 PM but yesterday nobody ! But by 6 PM it was busyer then the liquor store on Mother's Day ( welfare check day ) in my my old neighborhood . A almost over flow crowd of rich people with I'd guess over half including both male and female members in those poplin suits that only the real well of seem to wear . Meghan and I ran our bootys off. No surprise being so hot & humid outside the crowd tended to eat lite, alot of fish and salads . Charley Brown the chef is always busy coming up with new lite fare including these gorgeous looking salads .


Both Meghan and several members noticed how burned I am , I joked saying it's a new make up to look natural like vegetables & fruit which always had people laffing . One dermatologist gave me plenty of advice about how to deal with the sun burn ( almost identical to FA's here ) and how I really should do somethings to avoid getting baked like this in the future . At another table when asked how I got burned said it was when we went to Mammoth Cave which had the whole table talking about having been there. Do have to give these rich and educated folks credit , there smart enough to see all the interesting & important things going on around these parts . Along with seeing the cave must have heard a million storys about art shows at the Speed ( the big art gallery here ) and the symphony .


When we left Meghan brought up how bigoted Nikki was sunday when we all worked the black member's family party . I agreed , then mentioned how she also trys to act like one of the rich members too. Meghan laffed at that saying " I know ................" you could tell like me seeing that as just being so silly . Can understand wanting to make more of yourself in life but don't think the way to do it is by looking down on some people because of religion or race and worshipping others who have money trying to pass yourself off as one of them ................


Back to our trip to the big cave although feel exhausted it really was a great time . Forgot to mention yesterday how there other legends about the cave too. Like it as named Mammoth cave since they found the remains of a prehistoric Mammoth there but nope, they call it Mammoth cave since it's mammoth . Also there old old tales of a secret race of cave people who live inside .Maybe descendants of runaway slaves and escaped convicts . Who knows ..................? If so almost envy them for being out of the rat race that's life on the surface .


Going into the cave was a little scary , moi is definitely a coward so walking down something like 300 steps down underground was more then a little unnerving .Sort of like when I first started driving being on the freeway downtown at rush hour or the first time you freebase . All of a sudden fears came to mind of everything from being eaten alive by a swarm of killer bats to cave ins which you hear alot about off here in mining country or a earthquake that wud bury is too. Even the danger that the rivers down there wud suddenly over flood with them finding us like dead rats floating around or even being attacked by the rumored about cave people !!!! Even though we try to keep the public displays of affection low key especially around straight people that our group seemed to be made up off suddenly fund myself holding Karin's hand , infact squeezing away as if being help so tightly wud save me . She squeezed back too , being worryed too about our trip inside mother Earth ...............


Once inside though we both calmed down . The guide really seemed to know what t he was talking about and had a good sense of humor which lowered my neurosis /paranoia .Noticed how as we went along I should have dressed warmer , clothes from THE MARILYN KING COLLECTION wud have been good since even though it was something like 95 degrees on top down below in the cave it was 55 degrees and moist too . Also reported wearing flip flops, they really aren't the right shoe to go caving in . My legs felt like rubber bands a few times and later back home in bed. But what could you do , there we were down there and had to make the best of it . After all you don't exactly visit the longest cave on the planet every day ...................


In there own way caves are beautiful .I some parts the ceiling was low while in others it was high up .All kinds of different rock formations that makes it all so unique . My favorites we re the hanging rocks called Stalactites the sizes and shapes were all different . Some longer than me while others the size of a thumb . The moisture and water too created some gorgeous colors & colors on the rocks .There hard to describe here , this greenish brown circle really struck me . As we walked around the guide talked about all kinds of eco life down there you won't find anyplace else, like fish with no eyes possums that are longer then the ones up on the surface . D Finally w came to the underground river which was all in one strange ( after all you don't think of rivers underground ) , spooky ( where did lead , maybe this was the river of Sticks leading to hell ? ? ) and beautiful since after all water is gorgeous . Found myself staring at it & becoming very very calm inside . That feeling continued when we had to walk up steps an a hill getting out . Karin and some the others were complaining about the stress but moi now felt very very good and didn't mind anything really .


After that we ate at the TRAVELTINE restaurant which was very nice .Unlike most diners at tourist places it wasn't a dump that was dirty with crappy food and service .Really was as clean and well run . The food was good too .After that we walked around a little then decided to go rent a boat ,. Not bridging swim suits along we had to skip on getting kayaks but instead rent a canoe . A nice green plastic one that looked just like the old fashioned wood canoes. So we shoved of to go explore the Green River spending 4 hours on it . The trip was fantastic . The river runs thru the dense woods underneath hills with limestone sticking out . There's even bushes and smaller trees coming out of the lime stone too. came across a few small islands with my favorite was one about 10'x 10' feet with a big rock along with sand bars too.We pulled onto one of them to just sit but didn't stay long since it was surrounded by quick sand and while I love mother Earth don't want to be sucked up by it . Karin too saw what we thought was a salamander and neither one of us wanted to be bit by a poisonous reptile either


As we went down the river came across some more interesting sites . Including the famous Green River ferry which is a old boat looking right out of the 1930's that can take 3 or 4 cars a short hop across the river . Just seeing it was so atmospheric you could almost hear blue grass music and see 'billys on the bank taking swigs of mountain dew from jugs The captain waved along with some his passengers including this really nice looking family with 3 little girls from maybe 10-5 all with brite orange hair And a cave leading from the water underground with all sorts of gorgeous yellow and magenta bushes growing around it . Looked nice but we were both to chicken to paddle into it ...............am a coward !!


Did manage to be bad girl though . I guess it just comes automatically with me , just my gift . Tired of paddling in the & humidity we pulled over to shore to rest under a huge tree. Really was as nice. moi decided to col off and since nobody else seemed to be around stripped down & dived into the river. The water felt just wonderful and I called for Karin to join me which she seemed to want to do but was holding back so buck nekkid I came on shore to coax her to join me . IT was just then though one of those typical American tv type familys pulled around the bend in there canoe getting full view of me . The boy about 10 at the front screamed out "Look mom and dad there's a lady naked !! ) then no doubt since puberty is around the corner he began to glare . Sow as his dad at the back of the boat .Daddy really didn't say anything but his bulging eyes did alot of talking ................... N The mother who was sitting in the on the floor in the middle yelled at her son not to look as if seeing a nude woman wud burn his eyes out and then all scared like covered her younger daughters eyes . Not wanting to get in trouble or the reputation as the Green River flasher moi had already jumped behind the bushes . She did make a few angry comments at me but who could blame her . As they went passed we noticed how her hubby turned to get another look . Karin who had been real embarrassed up to that point started to laff...............guess I have been a good influence on her after all ! But then hollered at me saying I was going to get us put in the local calaboose ..............


Today in a below the knee tank dress, white top with a baby blue and yellow floral print on the skirt .Should be cool & comfy in our hideous rain forest weather and also will cover my scared legs . At work tonite the penguin suit and orthies

Getting back to normal , despite some pain and itching from the sun burn and more itching from the skeeter bites was able to sleep last nite . I woke up pretty refreshed . My renewed mind and now sleep-refreshed body are in sync . Now if only I could find some magic cream to get rid of all the nicks and bumps on my legs ..............


Don't want to beat a dead horse but we both really loved our day trip down to Mammoth Cave . Just getting out of town and driving down the road thru the country was great The cave itself was fun but I liked cameoing down the Green River best . It was so quiet and peaceful on the river with the limestone cliffs with trees/bushes along the side being so unbelievably beautiful The dinner at the Traveltine restaurant was great too. Karin really liked that . BTW the bump from the 'skeetr bite on her nose is gone now much to her great relief . Just picture a 27 year old woman smiling from ear to ear radiating happynes at the fact what she saw as a giant tumor has' done disappeared ' as they say back in the hills................ On the way home we took the Kentucky Parkway which may not be as fast as the freeway but sooooooooooo much prettier , going by all these little towns and mostly tobacco farms .The trees and bushes really are lush .


The crib is nice this morning . Although we may hit 10 today the air conditioning is humming away keeping us cool & comfy . The cats are up to there usual business . Agatha is on the back of the couch taking her morning bath then I expect will sprawl out like Cleopatra to observe thing s going on being perfectly content life is good ! Fritz the alpha male is out on his regular morning patrol the hall. He goes from unit to unit looking for food and more attention since he's such a sociable varmint . Marie down the hall always has tuna or sardines ready for him which makes Fritz very happy . Karin is home and sleeping after working very hard last nite in the ICU .


Work for me went alright . Bob in security came by to check up on things in the bar . He's been to Mammoth cave too and loves it . He's heading out tomorrow for vacation in Texas, seeing a old army buddy and then driving down along the border to soak up the wild west atmosphere down there. His fiance Julia is meeting him in Houston since she couldn't get that much time off .Bob just missed my favorite coyote Candy who came by . Am supposed to always report seeing her and any hooker but unless there working the bar or around it don't do that . Call it sisterhood and am not the morality police . At last site Candy was headed to the elevators with a very fat geezer about 70. Hope she rocked his world and he could take the stress................ Or maybe it was part of the old boy's plan to die with a smile on his face from too much sex ?


To moi's disgust the whole town seems to be talking about Tod Bentley a rocker type ( complete with a a body covered by tattoos and piercings ) whose a big revival preacher in town doing a crusade here . A real hell fire and brimstone type, screams & hollers away all during his sermon or really performance . Revival meetings are real southern tradition and explode during the summer . You can't drive too far outside of the citys and not see a sign or hear a commercial for a tent or camp meeting . You do get a good show since the preachers/entertainers really do throw themselves into it, running around all excited claiming to cure folks of illnesses, sometimes with rocking type music , and bet best of all for most being told your more holy then your neighbor .


But moi has never cared for them .Even though I have no religion don't go along with anyone /anywhere being so loud and boastful about religion .Also se most revival and tv preachers as grifters at worst , entertainers at best just in it for the money . Revival preachers also add to the stereotype of southerners as simple minded morons who can be easily led around . Also too emotional and hypocritical, bet most yankees think the average southerner leaves the revival meeting then runs over to the klan rally or gun show .............


Tod Bentley is maybe the worst of all. A colossal fake who should be struck down by lightening .Along with magically curing illnesses he goes further saying he's even brought people back from the dead . Was a career criminal and is a convicted child molestor . Who in there right mind could ever believe someone like that saying there all holy ?


Now going running before it gets to bad outside .Then going to the coffee boutique before work . Today in my other tank dress, with black top and dark brown paisley skirt sans undies . At the hotel the black cocktail waitress dress and suntan support pantyhose ( to hide my mutilated legs ) with black flats .

[Lena]

Not much to say today , sorry . Like everyone else has for moi yesterday was 'just another one of those days ' day . Wish I could say otherwise for the sake of this blog but thats just the way things happened and am not going to lie by making something up . The highlite of the whole last 24 hours was dropping in for a drink at a new bar .



Went running which felt good . Noticed lately am seeing more female then male joggers . Didn't wear undies under my tank dress which as always was fun . Went to he coffee boutique where the new dickhead manager told me since I was barefoot I couldn't stay inside but could sit at a table out front which was fine . Enjoyed looking at the people and cars going by . Went to work , wore the black cocktail waitress dress first doing the Concierge Lounge then bar . Nothing unusual in either . Had cocktail waitress Maggie whose nice but don't haven't made the same connection with her that I have with some of the other Irish women . Am sure that will change the more she work the bar . Then left ...................



On the way home stopped at a mini mart to pick up some fresh milk but before going in checked out the new bar that jut opened next door. Call it professional interest or my alcoholism that automatically draws me to any place serving drinks . Kind of strange someone wud be opening up a bar or for that matter any business with the country heading into a recession and maybe even a depression . The place has a retro theme of Vegas in the 1950's .Alot of brite lights and brass , the booths had overstuffed seats supposed to be leather but are actually plastic made to look leather .On the wall were photos Frank Sinatra and his rat pack along with Keeley Smith ( she was in THUNDER ROAD , the hillbilly GONE WITH THE WIND ) Tony Bennett , Louis Prima and Marilyn Monroe . along with copies of BILLBOARD hits lists from the 50's and early 60's & copys of posters with one showing a picture of SAMMY DAVIS Jr. complete with cigarette saying he will be playing at the SANDS HOTEL on new years eve 1957 with the show along with a bottle of champagne and a steak dinner costing $ 8 . The cd machine has a lot of retro sounds , when I was there heard DEAN AMRTIN'S ' THATS AMORE ' and PATTY PAGE'S 'HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW ' .Along with today's music to appeal to the Generation Y crowd management is aiming for .



For 1 AM the place was doing OK with about a dozen people all in their late 20's . One blond woman in a white business suit told me how she just loves the place . Met the owners who aren't geezers but 30 -40 somethings who were real nice . Thats pretty common in the bar business where being nice on the surface goes with the job . One guy was a lawyer who i think saw the club as a playground while his partner who said he'd been in radio and ohs dad owned a saloon do believe saw it as a business first . Got a fee drink , smiles ,and a invite to the big grand opening a week from today . Also told that while I am always welcome please wear shoes the next time I come in . The story of my life . When they found out I was a bartender they asked me to fill out a application with one joking I'd have to wear shoes though if I worked there since it's one of there major rules , as corny as that was and as big a sarcastic bitch as I can be it did seem funny at the time Hope the bar makes it .



As I left almost drove of without going into the mini mart to get milk . That's another story of my life, when alcohol appears I forget everything else . The owner was a from some place like India or Pakistan , looked bored & tired . Had a dvd on a portable player with all these women in saris running around dancing and singing in those high pitched voices that can sound as screechy as fingernails being dragged across a black board .


Back home saw the lites on in the penthouse , Fawn and John must have gotten back from there big vacation . Coming inside Fritz ran up to greet me while Agatha stayed sleeping . I was beat and just wanted to sleep but Fritz wanted to talk . Was meowing quite a bit , was either bored or had something important on his feline mind . . After getting him got undressed but he kept following me meowing . So to get him off my back opened up the milk and gave him some which he loved. although sound asleep only a few minutes ago Agatha suddenly appeared meowing for some milk herself so poured her some . Busy with there treats the critters left me alone to go to bed . Id like to think owing to gratitude woke up this morning with both sleeping at the foot of the bed .


Se the analyst later then work again . They have us doing a private party tonite for some insurance group . Going out the front door in a white baby doll top and off white capri pants. At work the black cocktail waitress dress& the same suntan support hose and black flats as last nite .
