Waking thought...

[nanners]

Morning already? Nooooooo! Too tired...need coffee....oh damn....I forgot to set the delay on the coffee pot last night. What day is this?

oh crap, only Wednesday? :| :seeingstars:

[jac]

It's Wednesday. Staff meeting day. *burries face in pillows* I'll appreciate this later.

[girl_dee]

Tylenol.........

[easygoingfemme]

What day is it?
Standard checklist follows:
Where is my kid
Where is my guy
What time is my first obligation
What is it like out?

However, if it is nice out than the windows are open and I first flip over to stick my nose out the window, along with my trusty dog, and we just sniff the nice air while mulling things over.

[CXanderRun]

... :| ... Oh crap.

[Miss Scarlett]

What a beautiful day and what a wonderful weekend it will be!!

[Soon]

[JAGG]

[Miss Scarlett]

[TheMerryFairy]

I wish I could stay a little longer laying here, floating in my dreams.

[Miss Scarlett]

[TheMerryFairy]

Can't I stay here just a little longer?

[Venus007]

I wonder if I should bring breakfast to work today

[Glenn]

I'm going to miss waking up in this body.

[LukeCian]

I wish I could turn off My mind and find some peace. Sadness reigns.

[MaggieBluIze]

i don't want to be here ...
i want to be there ...

[cinnamongrrl]

"I don't want to get out of bed yet...."

and that never happens...I hate our mattress! lol

[little_ms_sunshyne]

*Sigh* Rain :)

[LukeCian]

Whoa the buzz of the cell scared the hell out of Me.

What time is it?

Then.. a slow smile... remembering the fun at the Club.

[The_Lady_Snow]

"I should be waking up to fuck and then head to the beach, instead it's off to work.... Hmph..."

[WingsOnFire]

one more hour please.. then smiling because the sun is out and I have plans for the day for once!

[LukeCian]

Wow..we are getting a serious storm

*fumbling to find the cell that is buzzing*

*squinting*

The club on a Sunday???? Reallyy??? Ok maybe.

*rummages around for the day planner*

I really need to transfer all of this to the Blackberry tab

[puddin']

[KCBUTCH]

I love her...must attend to my dog first then her

[ONLY]

SS (f) should be right beside me so I can.............. whisper "good morning beautiful" in her ear.......

[Cailin]

"wtf is that damned noise?"


3 am, and someone is outside revving engines, speeding off and slamming on brakes making them squeal.... and doing it repeatedly outside my apartment.

[tonaderspeisung]

horrified scream followed by what the @@$@%^&* was i thinking

i've set my alarm to cannibal corpse - a skull full of maggots

on the plus side
it's a good motivation to wake before the alarm and i have yet to sleep through one

[LukeCian]

*the buzz of the cell*

Yes Mom I will be there by 8.

*squints*

*stretches*

Oh yeah, that is why I still feel so sleepy.

*pulls the blanket back over My head*

[Miss Scarlett]

Mmmmmmmmm......

[Bad_boi]

Can I go back to sleep please?

[LukeCian]

Is it daylight already? No, really is it?

*lets the smile creep across My face*

[Miss Scarlett]

Is it Thursday yet? Will this week ever end?

(That's my Friday...lol)

[The_Lady_Snow]

"Oooo, birthday cock!"

[prettyboyreg]

I don't want to work today....So I'm taking a very rare mental health day :)

[Happyfemme]

I'm so glad it stopped raining and it looks like the sun is coming out.

[BoDy*ShOt]

*sleepy smiles* man. I like him so.

[LukeCian]

*stretches*... you can only smile... just smile... and well.. yeah.. that... ;)

[StoneOne]

thinking ............

if babygirl was here
I could open My eyes to see her
than the lake

[LukeCian]

*stretches* why am I up as early on a Saturday as I am during the week? Oh yeah, Mom.

*then thinks* ...all is right in My world.... ;)

[Tommi]

XXX rated. :bedfuck:

[SleepyButch]

Ahhh damn.. My computer must have rebooted during the evening.

Doc must have slept with his aunt last night because he's not in My bed! It's nice having more than a couple of inches of bed space without the dog being right on top of you!

[*Anya*]

I think I will go wake her up now, in our "special" way...

:innocent:

[Wryly]

Oh no - my ears hurt.

Then: that was a really nice dream.....too bad I had to wake up. ;)

[FemmeItalian]

I want to go back to that dream......

[Hollylane]

6:30am....I don't think the boys (Chessie, Obi, & Zeus) know that it is Saturday, and that I have the right to sleep in...Damnit.

[Wrang1er]

Hmmm...that was an interesting dream. ;)

[Happyfemme]

It's a beautiful day today.

[Soon]

I think I could use this morning off...

and I did just that.

[jac]

Ha ha I just remembered this thought from this morning....

"Who's waking? I still have time to sleep some more." *cuddles pillows tightly and falls back to sleep*

[MaggieBluIze]

My waking thought tomorrow will be
<I should not have had that whole bottle of red wine :wine: *holds head*>

*taking ibuprofen now* (thinking ahead) :)

:waitinggirl:

[Trev]

U.G.H. Yeah I believe that sums it up

[wahya]

My walking thought is...I got invited to go dancing this weekend to the only Gay club in this town. lol it's been years since I have been out like this. I believe I will go. Got A LOT of major stresses to release. :)

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

Finally, now that I can think and it only took being awake for 8 hours....thank the Gods and Goddesses for days off

[Happyfemme]

I slept so good and it's beautiful outside.

[puddin']

I want chili fo' breakfast, wit' cheese...

[cinnamongrrl]

Already....?? :(

[Hollylane]

Oh for the love of....It is Saturday, everyone get back in your beds!!!

followed by...

Oh! Hi handsome :)

[DaddyNik12]

my awaking thought was ...... only if she was here next to me

[WingsOnFire]

what day is it? Am I late to work?? Lol nope. It's Saturday!!

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

No repeating that dream PLEASE

[o'queery]

I wonder if taking a trip would change things?

[Ranger Butch Force]

Who the FUCK is calling me at 7am?!

[Hollylane]

3:30 am

I have to pee, but I'm sooooo comfy....

On the way back from the loo...

(squinting with sleep blurred eyes at the webcam pointed at my sleeping butch, who's room is dimly lit, and talking out loud, because Chessie's always listening)

"Is she in the bed? Oh, there's an arm, and there's the other arm, and a leg...

Oh, for fuck's sake, I sound like I'm reading a prenatal ultrasound...:|"


7:30 am

Oh my Dog, look at that handsome face smiling at me, I probably look like hell, and she is gorgeous...Oh well, it's so wonderful waking up and seeing her.

[PoeticSilence]

I need toast.

[jac]

Never again will I have a niquil and melatonin cocktail before bed!! :blink:

[agape]

Who the FUCK is calling me at 7am?!

It could be your destiny... lol ;)

[lilapache]

why do sinus' have to be this way
todays to do list
why couldn't i wake up beside You

my granddaughter.. i miss and love you babyboo..

[Katniss]

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE

Nope, I'm not on vacation and yes, it is a start to my work week, and no, nothing exciting that I know of is coming up.

I just felt that poor ole' Monday always gets the short end of the stick appreciation-wise so I was going to be all yippy-skippy about it.

I hope everyone finds something to appreciate about today and make it a GREAT one!

Katniss~~(Guess who had a diet coke and a pack of Skittles for breakfast?)

[Hollylane]

NO!!!!!!!!!

[Queenie]

Waking thoughts for this morning...

One: I wonder if my box of 100mg. morphine pills has come in yet? The drug store I use has had a really hard time getting a hold of them.
So, because of this I have had to take six 30 mg. morphine pills twice a day for the last few days. And now I am almost out of my 30 mg. morphine pills. Thank god, I am seeing my hospice doctor this week.

Two: I am still really tired.

Three: I am in such pain at the moment I want to die!

[JAGG]

It's Monday ready or not !

[SirLucian]

t is going to be a Great week
Man I need coffee and lots of it
:sunglass:

[PoeticSilence]

Sometimes, because of the narcolepsy, waking up doesn't really mean I'm awake. So when I woke up this morning I was trying to figure out if this very large snake in my dream (about four feet in diameter) would be able to squeeze itself into a birdcage or a heating duct. To complete this action, I stared at the bird cage while thinking about it until I actually became lucid enough to shake off the concern.

[o'queery]

I have the ENTIRE farm to myself for 10 whole days.

I see deviance and fuckery in my very near future.

[jac]

Waking thought...

"Holy crap!! I have never seen through the eyes of another in a dream. That was some scary shit!!"

I know her full name and I was her... kidnapped, held hostage, escaped, sought help and heard the conversation between the person hiding me and the kidnappers. They were trying to get me back. Wtf??

Wondering if this was some kind of premonition or something. :blink:

[cinnamongrrl]

First time:

Why is my phone making that awful noise?? (My eldest was calling me at midnight, wanting me to go out and have some fun with her...somewhere)

Second time:

OK! I WILL have a banana when I get up! (Trying to reason with my body during a Charlie horse....)

[girl_dee]

"These hot flashes are a bitch!!!"

[jerbear]

I was woken up from a sound sleep to the emergency alert system from work telling me i had 5 mins to be there to decon someone and get the tents ready. I felt bad for them having to strip down and get cool water sprayed on then in 30 degree weather.

[ONLY]

wondering when I will get to talk to my girl (f) ........

[Ginger]

Happy Birthday, R

[mountainbikedyke]

Ahhh, room service coffee with my baby, and then MORE coffee at our favorite local coffee house...

[cinnamongrrl]

The morning light in the mountains really is different....

[cinnamongrrl]

I sureee hope that's my hair tickling across my face.....

[AnAwkwardAccident]

....I don't want to get out of bed. I feel sick.

[Kenna]

Dangit...
It's too early for winter!
This is a good morning to curl up under heavy warm quilts and sleep till 9...
What was I thinking by asking for morning appointments in Charlotte? Hit snooze again. Damn

[cinnamongrrl]

hearing the rooster crowing this morning, I thought it must be 430am..his normal rise n shine time...

but I checked my phone and it was 6am! Either the rooster slept through his first crowing or I did...either way...I slept in! :)


:praying:

[MasterfulButch]

Hurrah. My day is my own.

:thumbsup:

[girlin2une]

(My food has to pass my approval before I give it to my friends :) )

[Cailin]

[A. Spectre]

huh - i'm alive again - guess i am going to work.

[girlin2une]

Kinda morbid! ;)

[A. Spectre]

Kinda morbid! ;)


morbid would be - huh - alive again - i'm doing somethin wrong. (f)

[snowbrdr303]

[Jedi]

Of wanting to murder or at least maim the party that woke me up after 2 hours sleep.......after trying to get to sleep for hours

[Smiling]

It was a mixture of ugh and yahoooo, lol. The same exact mental dilemma I'm having right now upon the end of my "break period," lol.

[TruTexan]

It was like uhm, fuck this headache I gotta take something NOW, in my mind first upon awakening this morning.

[Cailin]

waking thought at 450 when alarm went off "what time is it?"- to cole

waking thought at 640 "you over slept huh?"- to cole

waking thought at 9 when alarm went off "what the hell?"

[WingsOnFire]

Am I still on vacation?! Heck no! lol

[JoSchmooze]

[Justin]

Oh CRAP ..... I forgot to set my alarm !!!! :eek:

[Tommi]

[cinnamongrrl]

[JDeere]

[JDeere]

That's my waking thought every morning, without fail. It's what gets me going. :D

Lol me too! I knew I wasn't alone with this one.

[Kenna]

*stood up from bed* ....ohhhhh shit!! My body just said WTF DID YOU DO TO ME YESTERDAY???

[Kenna]

Uggggg...my body hates me! ...but I got BABIES to feed and water! :) :)

[Chicklette]

grumpy, grumpier, grumpiest....coffee now....

[MysticOceansFL]

The first person to apologize is usually the stronger and wiser and for the other person to not judge or have sarcastic critizalationistic remarks and just excepts the apology is even stronger.

[JDeere]

My waking thought was holy crap my neck hurts

[Bèsame*]

The sound of the Hawaiian text tone, with a video to watch.....

[bright_arrow]

Holy crap I slept in! Oh.. no.. it's only 5:30 a.m.!

[WildHorses]

Why do I go to bed at 9:30 pm knowing I will be wide awake at 11:00 pm?

[Orema]

I'm a sexy old broad and I can buy a pair of purple, tortoise shell, cat-eye-shaped frames for my next pair of glasses if I want. I'm keeping them.

[randrum]

I need a vacation...

[cinnamongrrl]

[JustLovelyJenn]

Today my waking thought is sorrowful. I miss my grandmother. I am so sad I didn't get to say goodbye... and just a little I am angry at all my cousins who have spent so much time with her and are posting those memories...

[cinnamongrrl]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[uglyboi]

I woke up thinking, there is a farm outside my city that breeds miniature cows and I then realized where petite sirloin come from. :blink::blink:

[ksrainbow]

Remembering on this date 4 yrs ago that Heaven was graced the most wonderful lady I know! Love and miss you Mom :stillheart:

[uglyboi]

I woke up and my first thought was, "Where the hell did my face come from."

[ksrainbow]

2 yrs ago: My Dad graced Heaven with my Mom for her Birthday for a day of cards, dancing and cocktails. Love and Miss you both!

ks-

[cinnamongrrl]

who is texting me so early???

:blink:

[Tuff Stuff]

I must be getting old..I can't remember shit. :|

[Talon]

"good morning Miss...ummmm, I'm sorry...look, do you need some money for a taxi home?

[Venus007]

I woke myself up saying "Thank you" over and over

I had a wonderfully vivid dream of my Gran and Pop, who raised me and are now dead. I was missing them particularly. It almost feels like I got to hug them and speak to them for a minute. It was a great gift.

[WingsOnFire]

was I ready to face a new day... Turns out I survived.

[clay]

thinking ahead to the upcoming holidays....hoping I have been a good enough boi for Santa to leave me a sweet, loving, single woman in my stocking this year......what? I CAN wish, right?!
I HAVE been good...berry, berry good!!

[Lyte]

Macadamia nuts. Wondered if I had any left. Lol



http://i50.tinypic.com/34srscx.jpg

What was the first thought that popped into your head when you woke up today?

[WingsOnFire]

Macadamia nuts. Wondered if I had any left. Lol

and did you???? Inquiring minds want to know

[Lyte]

Oh! Yes, I did! Roasted unsalted and yummy!! *happy happy Snoopy dance* :p

and did you???? Inquiring minds want to know

[JDeere]

Oh God, I have to go to work.

[Orema]

Did I use enough postage?

[cinnamongrrl]

Who would message me at 6 in the morning??

My mom...that's who. And that's okay :)

[C0LLETTE]

I sat bolt upright in bed and, in surprisingly loud voice, I said, "I need to buy a condo. I just can't face shovelling any more snow and ice...and it's only January."

[Bèsame*]

First let me explain...

We watched the Menendez commentary last night, which one speculation was a Mob hit. Fast forward to my dream, I was being kidnapped at work by three big mobster type guys. Then early this morning, before 8am, there really was a hard door knock.
First thought, home invasion! Who knocks on a door this early, when your not expecting anyone???

Scary, I'm in my nightgown, my phone is closer to the door, that I won't be answering. Well, Blaze does, and some big burly dude wants to know if we want to take some extra driveway material from him, at a really good deal. WTH? Scam.

So Blaze goes off to work and I double, triple lock the doors and could not get back to sleep.

I'm feeling safer, it's cold and rainy. Who wants to be out in that? Convincing myself, that's it.

[clay]

I am heart connected, spiritual, communicate, passionate, seek pleasures and the many adventures in living and making mistakes and live life without blinders in the present moment. Sensuality and seduction enthrall me and I am fiercely attracted to those who are more femme, since that "dance" balances out the butch side of me and gives both of us a soft place to land. You are not afraid to be vulnerable and are following a mostly balanced life realizing that the "chaos" is not necessary, know yourself, have developed an ability to dance in your life and are playful.
Be at peace, gentle and loving, slow down, be silent and listen for your answers, protect the children, mentor others, remember who you are, dance always and have belly laughs often -- Namaste

[BullDog]

It was very chilly this morning so I just hugged one of the extra big pillows and thought about my girl and smiled. Then I pulled the covers over my head and read her FB page from my phone and smiled even more. We are such two politico peas in a pod.

[homoe]

I sat bolt upright in bed and, in surprisingly loud voice, I said, "I need to buy a condo. I just can't face shovelling any more snow and ice...and it's only January."

COLLETTE, couldn't you just hire a service to shovel? God when I was a kid, I'd trudge all around our small town and seek out shoveling jobs. I guess kids don't do that anymore.

[tantalizingfemme]

People who present themselves as the consummate victim. Even better are those who do it vaguely, with a lesson attached as to make it look like they are trying to help others. Gross. Attention-seeking behavior like that makes me gag. You are an adult, act like one.

[RockOn]

casting for a lovely day ahead ...

chilly outside, the sun was and still is so bright at 9:00 a.m., makes me squint

suddenly remembered tomorrow is a holiday, M.L.K. JR's Birthday ... I actually said Happy Birthday to him out loud then laughed at self's goofiness

[*Anya*]

COLLETTE, couldn't you just hire a service to shovel? God when I was a kid, I'd trudge all around our small town and seek out shoveling jobs. I guess kids don't do that anymore.

I love that picture.

You, as a small butch, carrying your shovel and knocking on doors.

It's a really nice vision.

I guess kids really don't do that anymore.

[theoddz]

Dear Wife and I took in the Van Morrison concert last night, at Ceasar's Palace. It's been years and years since I last attended a concert there.....like 1984 or so?? Oh yeah, I saw Diana Ross there, live, and that was something I will never forget. Wow!!! Anyway, it was a packed audience and we had great seats!! Dear Wife and I have been to quite a few concerts together, and we've really enjoyed them. Most recently, we've seen Jimmy Buffett (MGM Arena) and Garth Brooks, with Trisha Yearwood, at the T-Mobile Arena. These artists gave some really great performances, engaging the audience and really entertaining like they really enjoyed it and the audience. The more worked up the audience got, the more the band got into it. It was truly fun and entertaining and contributed to the "live" experience.

This morning, however, I woke with Mr. Morrison on my mind. The concert was great, mind you, but very different from the concerts I'm used to going to. Van didn't interact with his audience, hardly at all, last night. No "Hey folks, it's great to be in Las Vegas, etc.", or any kind of verbal acknowledgement of his audience. The lights went up, he came on stage, grabbed the mic and started singing. The songs went one by one, one after another, almost without missing a beat and Van sang without missing a beat. He did a fraction of his well-known repertoire and never hit "Brown Eyed Girl" or "Tupelo Honey" (my personal favorite). It was really weird. This went on for an hour and a half. At then end, he did manage to do a rousing rendition of "Gloria", but then he started to walk off stage, then return a few moments later. After a couple of times of doing that, he walked off stage and didn't return. A guy came out from "stage left" and said something to the keyboardist. The band kept playing and did a helluva great job, but no more Van. Finally, after the band finished the last note, the house lights came up and it was time to leave. No more from Van. We didn't see him again.

On the way out, everyone was looking at each other and saying, "REALLY???". Dear Wife and I were thinking the same thing and looking at each other. Never had we ever been to a live concert and experienced anything like this. I got to wondering if Mr. Morrison was okay. He's no young man anymore, yanno. The guy is 71 years old and probably tired. No telling how long he's been on tour or what his real state of health is. We just hope he's okay. He's on my mind today as I wish him the best. I've enjoyed his music for many, many years.

It was just strange. :blink:

From what I've learned from other people I know personally in the music trade (recording studio owners, promoters, booking agents, et al), is that once an artist (music, film or any other type of art creator) signs a contract, they have to fulfill that contract, even if their health and life is impacted by those particular restraints.

It's not easy watching this kind of stuff go down, but I'm guessing that maybe contractual agreements might be largely part of this particular scenario ... among other types of issues concerning artists in the music trade or film industry, etc.

Glad to hear you and your wife went to a concert, Theo. :rrose:



Dear Wife and I took in the Van Morrison concert last night, at Ceasar's Palace. It's been years and years since I last attended a concert there.....like 1984 or so?? Oh yeah, I saw Diana Ross there, live, and that was something I will never forget. Wow!!! Anyway, it was a packed audience and we had great seats!! Dear Wife and I have been to quite a few concerts together, and we've really enjoyed them. Most recently, we've seen Jimmy Buffett (MGM Arena) and Garth Brooks, with Trisha Yearwood, at the T-Mobile Arena. These artists gave some really great performances, engaging the audience and really entertaining like they really enjoyed it and the audience. The more worked up the audience got, the more the band got into it. It was truly fun and entertaining and contributed to the "live" experience.

Charlie Parker. I fell asleep to the radio last night and that was playing when I woke up.

A bad dream I had. The details could be triggery for others, so I won't post it.

I didn't take my makeup off.

Why is my cat being so cute, cuddly and friendly this morning, is he out of food?

I should remind my manager to finish my performance review (it was due January 1).
