Playing catch up

It really has been a busy week. i’ve been remiss in my posting because of it. my last post i talked about toy shopping and those playthings have arrived since then. i checked them out to make sure they work properly, without playing with them. We had a bad experience with a remote control egg we purchased back in December. LP ordered it as a sort of christmas present. So it sat unopened until She arrived and even then we didn’t check it out right away. When we finally did get around to it we noticed that while it has several different speed and rhythm settings they all have to be cycled through before She is able to turn it off. Kind of make it difficult to turn it off at the last second before it makes me squeal ;) We figured we would learn to deal with that though, we are adaptive. But when we actually went to try it out for real it stopped working altogether. There were no vibrations or pulses, only a high pitched whine. It was very disappointing. The company didn’t want to exchange it because we had waited too long from the date of purchase. But LP got them to change their minds and we sent them the faulty merchandise. After waiting and waiting we emailed them to check the status and they said they had never received it. Once again LP used Her powers of persuasion and they sent us a new one anyway, as a gesture of good will. That is why the toys just received had to be tested, if not played with, soon as they arrived. Let me just say that i am really looking forward to playing with these new pretties! Especially the wand thing.

It looks odd but it has such interesting possibilities! And it has a pretty strong high speed. That should be all kinds of fun! The other ones are vibrating bullets, one is a dual set….LP has really great taste in toys. i am not really a toy person on my own, but i do love the idea of playing with these with LP at the controls!

It’s kind of annoying that i haven’t been able to play, considering i have a quota to meet for this month. The arrival of the toys and the ideas they gave would have been inspiration enough even without being able to play with them on my own. Unfortunately i have gone and put my back out again. One little twist in the wrong direction and i am out of commision for days. Almost a week now and getting very frustrating….or should that be i am getting very frustrated ;)

i have been in an exceptionally good mood for the most part though. Writing inspiration hit and my little fingers have been nimbly tappity tapping away. Then life stuff got in the way and i had to pause it all in deference to doctor and dentist appointments and visits from my parents and having to create a corsage for prom this weekend. See…busy busy girl. But i am loving it. i think LP has enjoyed it as well, She always has prefered me when my mind is in high gear.

i have been keeping up with my daily reading rounds as much as i have been able. Since the demise of my previous computer which cost me my favorites file i haven’t been able to remember where to find all of the different blogs i enjoy reading. A few had been placed on the side bar here in the blog roll and i was so glad for that! i am such a fan of these writers, and find so much food for thought in some of their postings. What i find interesting is how so many of the posts seem to coincide with issues i am facing in myself and in my relationship with LP. i feel like some adolescent fan sometimes so i keep my comments to myself, other times i just can’t really help myself.
