Quirky things people do
Do you have things you do that seem perfectly normal to you but might seem odd to someone else? This thought came to mind as I was making some fantastic blueberry muffins (ask me for the recipe) and after creaming the shortening, butter and sugar it was time to put the eggs in. Now I always take the eggs from the right hand side of the carton. I would never think to take an egg from the middle or left end. It’s just what I do.
So it made me think, what else do I do that might annoy the crap out of my husband? (Actually he’s the most easy going bloke in the world so not much gets his irritation going.) When I put my shoes on, I always put on a sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe. That does make him raise his eyebrows but as he says, “They’re your feet.”
Then I think about sexy lingerie. My husband loves it. No, no.. not on himself — on me. Most of it isn’t comfortable at all. Either it’s lacy and it scratches or the straps are too loose and they fall off my shoulders or it’s satiny and slippery and gets all wadded up when I try to roll over. To compromise I wear it, flaunt around a bit and then I take it off. It’s what I do.
I do the lawn mowing around here and I have a set path that I take. It never varies. Always around to the right and then in concentric circles. I’ve heard it’s bad for the grass but my feet won’t walk another way.
When I take a shower, I have the same issue. I scrub my face with the scratchy thing and then my neck, shoulders, arms and move on down, ending with my feet.
I’m obviously a creature of habit and THAT’S when it hit me. Of course I am and guess where I’m probably just as much a creature of my own quirky? Yep, you got there first. In bed.
So I’ve decided that in order to keep my marriage and our sex life fun and interesting (and not so routine) I’m going to make up a SEXFUN jar. In it I’m going to place little slips of paper with instructions for one adult activity. For instance, the next time we have sex, I’ll start on top. The next time I’ll wear something flimsy — even if it’s only for 5 minutes. The time after that I’ll wake him up with a blowjob. I’d continue but then that’s too much information.
I think it will work. I felt awful when I realized I was probably very routine in my sexual habits. What fun is that?? I will probably always be quirky but my husband and my marriage will be happy.
If you have ideas that are better than my jar, leave me a comment, ok?
If you are more than flat chested, you don’t have to hoist those puppies up in a plain boring bra any more. If you’ve got it, flaunt it! Your breasts deserve to be sexy, sassy and well.. hot! Treat them to fine lace, leopard print or satin! Small breasted women have always worn the sexiest lingerie made and frankly it’s pretty easy to get the size right. Larger breasts not only need the right size around the body, they need a bra for their own breast shape.
