Ladies short

March 31, 2016 Thursday

11:47AM Sassy
Back at the arena for the Ladies short programs.  7 groups… 38 skaters.  Whee!

12:47PM Sassy
Two groups down, five to go.  Here’s group 3 warming up.

12:57PM Sassy
It saves us from 6 Carmens, 2 Malaguena, and 3 Sing Sing Sings but I still rue the day they changed the rules to allow vocals in figure skating program music.

2:57PM Sassy
Paul Wylie – US Silver Medalist at the Olympics 
and Harvard alum on the concourse!

4:51PM Phil

I like all of those songs! What’s the problem?
4:57PM Sassy
Repetition.  Lots of repetition. 
5:08PM Phil

Ahhhhhhhh got it

5:13PM Sassy
And the ladies short is over! 38 skaters!
The US skaters did so well! Woohoo!
I’m headed home.

The first of what are likely to be many awful photos 
of skaters on the ice! 
12:15PM Sassy

First foray to TD Garden concessions – plain Italian sausage on a stale bun, small bag of potato chips and bottled water $14.75. Eep.  Gonna try not to eat here!

12:43PM Sassy
Zamboni time! 
12:47PM Sassy
Fun teaching an usher how to judge ice dancing!  Ha! 
9:25PM Sassy
Figure skating coach sightings tonight – Peter Oppegard, Frank Carroll, Rafael Arutyunyan, Igor Shpilband, Alexei Urmanov, and Brian Orser! So fun to see former big name skaters teaching others and the best coaches still at it!
9:38PM Sassy
Done for the night.  Made it through the ice dance short, the pairs short, Opening Ceremonies and the men’s short!  I am TOAST!  Whee!

Windy March morning

March 29, 2016 Tuesday

10:43AM Sassy
Sis, the minister and I gave my friend a good Christian burial this windy March morning with singing, scriptures and prayers. She has a lovely spot under the big old trees on the hill with her family.  I am so lucky she had this all arranged years ago.

11:06AM Sassy
Heading back to the office with dumplings and hibiscus tea from Dado Tea.  They are so zen!  I needed a treat.

Barn owl or apple?

March 28, 2016 Monday

9:38AM Sassy
Barn owl or apple? 🙂

Marvelous bouncy Calypso version of the hymn “Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee”
I adore steel drums!

Happy Easter to you!

You cooking?
12:44PM Phil
Church was uplifting and yes!
12:45PM
Yay! 
12:47PM Sassy
I’m driving to Sis’ house.
She hired a chef to make us lamb.
1:20PM Phil
I love love lamb. I make killer lamb chops

2:48PM Sassy

1:23PM Sassy
Mom is smiling in her room again!

3:20PM Sassy
Kitten or ice cream?  🙂

8:32PM Phil
You doing ok Sass?
8:34PM Sassy
Yes.  Keeping busy.
8:26PM Phil
That’s a good thing. Hang in there.
8:36PM Sassy
Playing with my silver bullet.  : ) 
8:45PM Phil
Damn that’s hot as hell 😛
8:46PM Phil
Made my cock jump to attention
8:50PM Sassy
Mmmm hmmm
 Made me cum. 🙂 
8:51PM Phil
Always a good thing
8:51PM Phil
[Snoopy licking the screen gif]

Helping you clean up [devil emoji]
8:52PM Sassy
Thank you! 
8:57PM Sassy
Something about this one
[sent him a tumblr link that doesn’t exist anymore.  Grrr…]
You home?
8:59PM Phil
Yup. I like that’s it’s real women, makes it hot
8:59PM Sassy
Oh yes
9:01PM Phil
Those are my favorites
Not photoshopped models
9:09PM Phil
[photo of his smiling face out on his balcony]
9:10PM Sassy
Aww….there’s a real man!
9:10PM Phil
An old one but real
9:11PM Sassy

[photo of me in restaurant bathroom]
Watch out – I had oysters for supper
9:11PM Phil
Well hey there!  Lot of clothes for the bullet
You good slurping down oysters
9:13PM Sassy
I did slurp!  I took what you taught me to heart
9:13PM Phil
Couldn’t help but think of you slurping down something else
😛

9:13PM Sassy

Oh!
9:14PM Sassy
I’d like that
9:14PMPhil
What can I say?
Had a hard on watching you : )
9:16PM Sassy
Right there in the airport restaurant last week?
9:16PM Phil
Uh yeah
9:16PM Sassy
Good
9:18PM Phil
Yup!
You never saw me reach down to adjust?
I really enjoyed dinner
9:19PM Sassy
No! You were subtle
I would’ve been glad to help…
9:20PM Phil
Missed opportunity
9:23PM Phil
Did get a little tongue though
9:23PM Sassy
I can’t stop thinking about that
9:24PM Phil
Good
9:31PM Phil
I have seen you naked and we have enjoyed each other so I see you naked of course. The result is a throbbing cock
9:33PM Phil
Hope that’s not offensive
9:33PM Sassy
not at all.  Glad to help out in that way.
9:35PM Phil
Mmmmm
9:42PM Sassy
You have certainly fed my imagination
9:46PM Phil
Good, think sexy thoughts like 
my hands cupping your ass at Camp, 
our lips touching by the fire, 
my cum shooting deep inside you in 2010
Yummy!
Help that bullet hit the right spots
9:49PM Sassy
Indeed!
It can be something very simple… like me stroking your thumb
10:03PM Phil
Ahh, I remember
10:18PM Sassy
The way it felt plus the look in your eyes… oh man
10:19PM Phil
I liked it
10:19PM Sassy
I’m trying to find a simple and elegant hymn to sing at my friend’s funeral
Something I do a cappella outdoors
Maybe “Steal away to Jesus”
Or “Precious Lord” or “Amazing Grace”
I feel like there is an obvious one I am missing…
10:21PM Phil
And he walks with me and he talks with me
10:21PM Sassy
In the Garden
I was looking at that…
10:22PM Phil
Yes
10:22PM Sassy
Thanks!
10:22PM Phil
I like that one

10:22PM Sassy
I’ll suggest a few to the minister, see what she thinks
I looked up Good Hymns for funerals… a lot of them make me cringe
10:23PM Phil
Just a closer walk with thee
10:26PM Sassy
Not sure I could make it through the last verse of that one
Maybe “How Great Thou Art”
Though that’s tough a cappella
Thank you… sorry for the tangent
10:31PM Phil
Elvis did How Great Thou Art so well.
I think it’s easy to do a cappella, so pretty
10:31PM Sassy
You have that magic voice… smooth as silk
10:32PM Phil
I’m always happy to talk gyms or music
10:32PM Sassy
I used to sit in church and swoon when you sang a solo
Gyms?
10:32PM Phil
Hymns, damn auto correct
10:32PM Sassy
Hee hee
10:33PM Phil
Sang a lot at my last place
10:33PM Sassy
There was that one time at the gym where your spotter got an eyeful when you opened a message from me with a racy photo 
10:33PM Phil
Ha!
10:34PM Phil
Just finished riding the bike,  love working up a sweat
10:40PM Sassy
mmmm
10:43PM Phil
Nothing like working up a sweat fucking, both people working it, slick with sweat, it’s hot
10:53PM Sassy
Mmmm hmmmm
10:56PM Phil
When you lay back both gasping for air, soaking wet, going holy fuck baby that was incredible, that’s amazing stuff
11:07PM Sassy
Oof… you typing that does things to my insides.
11:15PM Phil
; )
Off to bed for me, sunrise service is early. Nite!
Happy Easter!
11:17PM Sassy
Sleep well dear man.


Cold hat

March 25, 2016 Friday
6:41AM Phil
I’m so sorry.
7:27AM Sassy
Thank you.  It was time.
Have a good Good Friday!

I am posting an obituary everywhere and trying to find a minister and plan a funeral over Easter Weekend.  Sigh.

1:48PM Sassy
Got taken to lunch at The Red House by a colleague. 

Nothing like 50-cent oysters and lobster chowder on a rainy day!

5:48PM
Supper at Shanghai Village in Arlington

Fancy folded napkins
My Shirley Temple and Hubby’s mai tai 
Me being wonton 
Hubby being hot…and sour
Boneless spareribs and eggrolls 
My kan shao shrimp and Hubby’s kung pao beef
11:58PM Sassy
The FDA finally approved the Dignitana cap that freezes your head during chemo and keeps you from losing your hair!  I so wish this had been available to me five years ago!

Frozen Sangria Slushies

March 24, 2016 Thursday
9:06AM Sassy
Good morning kid!
1:13PM Sassy
I signed the hospice papers…they said it won’t be long – hours, or a day or so.  
Not even going to move her to the hospice space. 
She’s in a coma.  So glad I saw her awake yesterday.  
Now we wait.  
3:22PM Phil
Oh lord, wow
9:23PM Sassy
This looks like your sort of thing.  Ever tried it?  Sounds easy to make.

Frozen Sangria Slushies 

10:28PM Sassy

The doctor called… she died.  *sigh


Focus on comfort

March 23, 2016 Wednesday
8:42AM Sassy
Good morning!
8:43PM Sassy
Wanted to put the phone between my legs with that licking graphic.  : ) 

8:44PM Sassy
Today’s tough…my friend in the nursing home is in the hospital with pneumonia. Is in ICU.  Doctors are asking me tough questions.  Pray for me please.
1:26PM Phil
Aww, hope it works out ok
1:27PM Sassy
I signed the DNR.  
Talking with hospice people tomorrow.
Not much hope. 
1:28PM Phil
Oh wow, that doesn’t sound good
1:29PM Sassy
Time to focus on comfort.  Sigh
2:24PM Phil
So sorry
2:25PM Sassy
Thanks.  It is what it is.

3:35PM Sassy
Took Hubby to see a doctor, gave us a chance to have a late lunch at our favorite Chinese place near there.

4:05PM Sassy
We tried some new dishes! Shanghai Gate in Allston is delicious!

 Garlic green beans with chicken 
 Yu Shiang pork with Chinese bread
Lotus beef
