I have noticed in the past few days I have received a ton of traffic from people looking for the recipe for red velvet cheesecake. If you are interested in it, drop me an email and I will send it to you.

People’s trash say a lot about them, don’t you think? This morning, as I sat here preparing to work, I looked out my office window and noticed all the recyclable discarded Christmas rubbish sitting out in front of the houses. Empty toy boxes, bags of used wrapping paper, and even old broken toys who now have a replacement. Had I wanted to walk over and dig a little deeper I could have possibly seen a little into what type of gifts the man/woman/kids of the house received. Of course I didn’t do this…I am not one to go digging through trash, but still it made me think.

Thursdays are usually our trash and recyclable pick up days. When I drive through the neighborhood I can learn a lot by looking into those recycle bins. I can tell what kind of beer my neighbors like. Whether they are Coke or Pepsi people and how many pizza’s they had delivered during the week.

I am not one for putting out my cardboard for all to see. When I choose to actually recycle I tend to break down all the boxes and put them into a larger box. No need for my neighbors to see the four or five cases of beer I go through in a week. Susan doesn’t need to see that either. She may determine we can’t afford that much towards my beer budget! Along the same note I personally hauled my Christmas trash to the dump the other day. I didn’t want to junk up the front of my house with tons of boxes and I surely didn’t want the neighbors to see the box that my life size friend came in.

Okay…that was a joke…

Ironically, when I opened the local paper late this morning, there was an article about just this same thing. Carla Crowder, a talented staff writer for The Birmingham News had this article on the front page. She weaves her tell of “picking up trash” well and mixes in a little 80’s music along the way. It is a good read, go check it out.

By the way….I have 5 invitations to Gmail if anyone wants one. First come first served!

Christmas has come and gone and it was pretty dang good here at casa Chuck. The kids were up by 6am. I let them come downstairs at 6:30, and the presents were all opened by 7am! Both T and L were very pleased with their gifts, and there sure was a lot of them. My ex picked up the kids around noon and took them to see The Incredibles again while Susan and I took a nap. FA had them home by 4:30 and my parents, sister and their boxer, Annie arrived around 5ish. My Mom and I finished up all the dinner prep I had already began, and we all sat down for a huge ass Christmas dinner around 7pm. Ahhh, it was divine….turkey, ham, my “special” dressing, lima beans, mashed taters, gravy, green bean casserole and broccoli casserole, and of course rolls. For desert we had applesauce cake, fudge and Susan’s red velvet cheesecake (which was pretty good, by the way). That evening we all gathered in the livingroom and played a board game, then turned on music and watched L dance for us. That was a site to see. I swear my boy is destined to be on Broadway someday. I just hope he chooses women to date. Afterwards my parents, Susan and I watched The Hot Chick on HBO or Showtime or one of those channels, while my sister took the kids upstairs to watch the new Harry Potter movie on DVD.

Sunday morning, once the neighbors had awoken, my Dad and I broke out the chain saw he had brought with him. We cut out a huge limb resting on my fence from a tree that bit the dust back during Hurricane Ivan. Glad to finally have that taken care of. They loaded up and headed back to Tennessee by 1pm. It was nice having them here for a visit, however short it may have been. They haven’t been down since I have done all the interior changes (painting and stucco in the kitchen) and they were very impressed. The ex came and again picked up the kids for the day and Susan and I ended up in the bedroom, in bed, watching some lame ass movie on The Lifetime Network.

After laying there for a few minutes I found that there was a considerable growing in my boxers. I pulled the covers back, waved it around a little and asked Susan if she, “wanted some of this?” She took one look at my huge lil buddy and politely declined. God, why don’t things happen to me like the do with Ed? Hell, our wives have the same name! Anyway, I laid there for a little while longer, stroking it even more, and again asked if she wanted some. She said, and this is where it gets weird, “no….but you can cum on my face if you want.” I had to ask her over again a few times till I really believed that she meant it. So with the confidence that she was “down w’dat” I got up on my knees, in front of her face, and continued jacking it. A few minutes later I felt the moment was here and asked again if she was sure. She said yes and I let loose the first volley. It struck right at her right nostril and continued across her cheek into her hair and onto the pillow. The other bursts landed on her cheek, in her mouth and on her upper lip. What a classic porn scene, other than the fact she had a terrible grimace on her face the whole time. You don’t see the whole “grimace thing” very often in porno facials. Once I was done she tried to once ask for a towel, but I politely thanked her and proceeded to walk out of the room, leaving her laying there with cum all over her face and in her mouth! Of course I was joking….I turned around and headed into the bathroom to get a towel, but it was a funny moment (to me) while it lasted! Once she was all cleaned up we took a nap then got up and ate some Christmas dinner leftovers. The kids came home and we all gathered in the livingroom to watch the Harry Potter DVD. What a memorable day after Christmas.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Our kitchen sink got majorly stopped up. The sad/funny thing about this is that the exact same thing happened last year on Christmas day. So one year and a day later we found ourselves having to call a plumber to come out and fix things. After the $185 check was written we now again have running water in the kitchen sinks and unclogged pipes. Ironically it was the exact same guy fixing it today who came out last year. Once he was finished and was heading out I told him, “Thanks…see you next year!” LOL

Today, Monday, we were both off and didn’t do too much. I hauled a SUV load of boxes and bags of wrapping paper to the dump, went grocery shopping, rented “I, Robot”, and we again took a nap while watching a Lifetime movie. This time we had regular sex….Tonight we made a macaroni/cheese/ham casserole and watched the movie with the kids. Susan is now in bed, the kids are upstairs playing new PS2 games and I sit here reminiscing with you all.

One “kid related funny thing” did happen this evening. Susan had put L in the tub and after a few minutes I went in to check on him. He was sitting there in the water with his knees up and his arms wrapped under his legs playing with his Tee-Tee (yeah, that’s what he calls it…). When he saw me standing there he said, “Dad I am singing Happy Birthday to my Tee-Tee.” He then proceeded to sing the song while squeezing his “thing”. Not exactly knowing what to say I just stood there with a grin and said, “cool”, then went into the kitchen to tell Susan about what had just happened. All she said was, “Well at least he is finding ways to have fun with himself.” Man what a moment that was. Who knew that your penis had a different birthday that the rest of your body?

Hope you all had a very merry Christmas! Back to work tomorrow……

Thought I would continue with Chris’ post title from today. After all, reading his post has increased my own Christmas spirit by a good 83.56%. Thanks buddy!

Things are beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in my home. I just went and picked up my kids from the ex’s and brought them home. They are running around all excited about what lay ahead. Having been gone for a week, they couldn’t help but notice all the new gifts under the tree. There sure is a butt load of Holiday cheer going on here! Susan is in the kitchen making, what she claims will be a new tradition, a red velvet cheesecake. She found the recipe in the latest issue of Southern Living Magazine. She’s been at it for a while now and I think I have only heard her cuss maybe twice!

Well, I am going to post this and start helping with the house cleaning. SusieG and her husband are coming by this evening, and my parents are coming tomorrow afternoon. There is much to do.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. As I have mentioned before, so many of you have become very good friends, and practically like family. I hope you and your families have an awesome holiday!

I’ll post again sometime on Sunday!

A little background before I begin….Susan has this ex boss, D, I mentioned him here. I have expressed anger before because of the way he treated her. What kind of husband wouldn’t be a little pissed off if his wife was mistreated by a manager? I have even gone as far as to say how I would love to kick his ass. I was sure to say that I wouldn’t dream of doing so until she quit the job and I was to see him out in public somewhere. I would never go to the work place and be anything but distantly cordial if I were to see him. Much like the way I was the last time I saw him in person. It was after all the shit had began with him, and I saw him at an anniversary celebration for the morning DJ team. I was very nice to him, said hello and shook his hand. Never once did I frown or say anything negative to the man, even though I knew, at that point, the way he was treating my wife professionally. He ended up pushing her out of his realm of management into another area within the same company. If I were to meet him today I would be nothing but nice to the man. Although I would want to behave differently, I would be polite in respect for my wife. And she knows that…..Which leads me to today’s activities….

Today both Susan and I were off work, and we are off till next Tuesday for Christmas. We slept in, then woke up but lay in bed watching “Little House On The Prairie” on the HallMark channel. We watched two episodes then left to go pick up my new company car at the Ford dealership. I am the proud driver of a brand new 2005 Ford Taurus. It is nice to have a brand new car that I don’t have to pay a cent for. We left there and drove to her office building. There is a co worker there that is divorced with two kids and a dead beat ex husband. She had no money for Christmas presents. Susan had decided to give her $50 to contribute to the donations that other caring coworkers had given. When we got there and parked Susan turned to me and said, “Why don’t you just sit here and wait for me. You don’t want to come up do you? Just wait here, I will be right back.” I sat there flabbergasted, assuming as we drove there that I would go upstairs with her. When she hurried out of the car with out allowing me to go with her I was just floored. I sat there for 20 minutes, looking over the new features of my new car till she came back. When she got back in the car she told me about the nice time she had had up there, how laid back everyone was and then proceeded to tell me that she wanted to go for a late lunch at a new restaurant. She said that her best bud, SusieG, was going to meet us there. I was a little pissed off. It kind of burned my ass that she didn’t want me to go upstairs with her and I asked her why. I knew the real reason, but I wanted to hear her explanation. She claimed that she was worried that I would confront this old manager, D, and cause a scene. I immediately didn’t buy that. She knows, better than anyone, that I would never cause a scene in front of people….especially at her place of work. I may hate the guy for what he did to her, but I would never dream of doing anything stupid. And she knows this. Suddenly I was taken back, in my mind I remembered this morning, when she told me how fat I am getting. Then it donged on me…she didn’t want to be associated with me in public, around people she works with, because I have gained some weight. When she asked what my problem was, and I had told her, she tried to claim it was because she was afraid I would confront D. God, how much more lame of an excuse could she dream up? It would have been better had she lied and said that the elevator was out, and she didn’t want my fat ass to have to walk up the seven flights of stairs. But no, she chose a lame ass lie, but she didn’t realize that I wouldn’t fall for it.

We went to the restaurant. Began to drink some good draft beer and then her best friend SusieG showed up. They talked about work and we ordered some food. We ate and drank and had a pretty good time. Towards the end of the night two of Susan’s work friends showed up. One was a seller, like her, and the other was a VERY popular DJ on the Top 40 Station. They both came up to the table. Nick Nice, the DJ, had to introduce himself to me and the other person, the seller, I had to introduce myself to her. This just blew me away….Is Susan this embarrassed of me? Hell, I can somewhat understand that she didn’t want me going up into her work place, but to dis me infront of these two people at the table? Damn, what is up with that? Then I learn later tonight….once we got home (5pm) and Susan had gone to bed, that she didn’t want me to go to her company Christmas Party because she feared I would “beat up her old boss.” What kind of lame ass shit is that? I am the most laid back, civil person you would ever think to meet. It took all I had to spank my son a while back for lying….much less some guy that really means nothing to me.

It just really sucks to be an object of shame to my wife. I know I need to lose some weight and I will do so at the first of the year. Maybe it would show her if I chose to begin my weight loss regiment now, and not cook all the food she is wanting for Christmas dinner. I reckon she would change her tune if she found that she would have to do all the work to make the dinner herself.

It sucks to have your wife be ashamed of you. I am sorry I have gained a few extra pounds, but I am still the same person. I just want to be appreciated and wanted.

You may be thinking that this is just a bitch fest because I am hoping she will read this and then make up for it. Well, first of all…this isn’t a bitch fest, this is the truth the way I see it. Secondly, she hasn’t read my blog since October. I doubt she will begin now.

I guess I will go and begin drinking again. Night…

I went today and finished up my Christmas shopping. Even though we have bought so much for the kids, I couldn’t resist getting this. That thing is the shiznit! I have had fun playing with it for the past hour. Can’t wait for the kids to see it on Christmas morning! I also bought T an electric scooter. She had asked for one, but we told her no because it isn’t all that conducive for exercise. So she is totally not expecting it and will be way surprised! We have bought the kids too much, but there is just something about this time of the year. I soften up and give in. I just remember all that my Mom and Dad would do for me at Christmas. They would go all out. I make sure the kids don’t just get random stuff during the year. I want them to appreciate the gifts they get on Birthdays and at Christmas. So I tend to go overboard on those occasions. Oh man, I am so excited! Can’t wait for them to see their presents!

Susan picked herself out, and bought, some new clothes during our mall trip over the weekend. They are wrapped up and under the tree. Won’t be too much of a surprise, but they are things that she wanted. Today I found something she wants and had mentioned, but didn’t plan on buying. It will be a surprise, so I shan’t mention it here (in case she is reading), but I know she will like it!! I am not expecting much in the way of gifts this year. Susan isn’t one for buying things for special occasions. She feels like the things we buy during the course of the year are gifts enough. She also feels like buying for the kids is more important. I agree, but still I would like to open at least one thing on Christmas morning. Guess I am a freak for feeling this way….oh, well maybe someday I will grow up.

As I have said a couple times on here before, this blogworld keeps getting smaller and smaller and more real everyday. I have met another friend thanks to bloging and have spent some time talking to her and getting to know her. Y’all go say hey to Michelle sometime when you get a chance. She is an awesome woman, always good for a laugh and full of good advice for dorks like me.

I also got to have a nice visit with my old buddy Jim today. Those of you who have read from the beginning may remember him. Well, he surprised me today by stopping by and we had a nice time catching up. He is off this week, so hopefully he and I will be able to catch up more at a happy hour somewhere soon.

The kids are having a nice time with FA’s family down in Florida. I sure do miss them though. Talked with the ex (FA) tonight and she was shopping, with her Mother’s money, to buy the kids some Christmas gifts. She wanted my advice on what to buy them. I am so thankful for those two kids! I sure do love them. Can’t wait for them to be home on Thursday night.

I am off now to make a breakfast casserole for Susan’s company Christmas breakfast tomorrow morning. It’s pretty good and I am willing to share the recipe. Sparkey, hope that dressing turned out okay for you guys!

Wow, what a day yesterday was. As I had mentioned before, I have a lot of things I have been stupidly sitting on that needed to get done before year end. Seeing as I am only working Monday and Tuesday of next week I decided to devote yesterday to a whirlwind attempt to knock out most of my projects. I worked from about 7:30 am till 9pm last night to get it all done. Stopping only a couple times to eat, use the bathroom, run to the liquor store and to have sex. More on that later….

So, has everyone finished their holiday shopping? I would say we are about 95% done. All that is left is getting a few things for family and stocking stuffers for the kids. We intend to go out this evening and wrap all the remaining gifts up. Susan went out early this morning, and $150 later, we have most of the stuff we will need to make our holiday feast. She will be given a certificate from work for a honey baked ham from that honey baked ham place, and all we will have left to get will be a turkey. I love making big holiday meals. I make some killer sausage dressing (in the south it is dressing, not stuffing) and if anyone is interested I will be happy to share the recipe.

So far today we have worked hard to clean out the garage. Every since the yard sale a few weeks back our garage has been a hell hole. We drug out a crap load of junk we didn’t want, nor felt like selling and I hauled it all to the dump. Susan swept and organized the garage while I was gone. Tomorrow is supposed to be a cold day, temp in the teens with a chance of snow, so I just got back from running to Blockbuster to rent a few movies. Thought it would be nice to huddle up under some blankets tomorrow and watch movies all day. My ex wife took the kids down to Florida for a few days for a pre-Christmas visit to her family. I talked to T this morning and they were on their way to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I am sure they will have a blast, but I will miss them. They will be home next Thursday night in time for Christmas.

I don’t think I have ever mentioned on here before, but Susan has an ex boss at work that she hates with a passion. He was responsible for pushing her from one job, that she loved, onto another job that she has had a hard time adjusting too. This guy is a real jerk. He has been accused of sexual harassment before and has a lot of negative crap in his file. Susan had to write up a multi page description of the injustice he handed out to her back during the job switch up that he initiated. Well, it seems that she found out yesterday that his firing is looking like a definite. The inner office gossip suggests that he has pissed off his last person and made his last big mistake and will be pushed out the door very soon. Little did I know, but Susan drove home last night feeling happier (and hornier) than she has in a while. When she walked in I was sitting here busy at my desk still (6:30pm) working like a frantic dog. She called me into the laundry room where she was getting changed from her dress clothes. When I walked in she practically attacked me; kissing, holding and fondling me like a mad woman. I got her out of her bra and we kissed our way to the bedroom where we both stripped down and climbed into bed. I was rock hard and she was soaking wet. The arousal conditions were perfect, as I slid between her legs, to allow my cock to slide home without any guidance of any kind. Isn’t that great when things just work out that way? The two parts just connect with no hands being necessary to aid in the insertion. It didn’t take long, maybe two minutes, and she was moaning in orgasm. A few more minutes later I pulled out and warmed her stomach and chest with a good 1/4 cup of cum. Well maybe not exactly that much, but it felt like it! Sometime quickies are okay, especially when they are fueled with such passion. Damn, wish more of the people she doesn’t like at work would get the axe!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

If it is cold where you are, as it is here, maybe this little game will mentally take you back to the beach…or at least entertain you for a little while….

warning: Playing can be addictive!

Well there isn’t too awful much to report, but I figured I should write something. So let’s see….

This has been a very busy week, work wise. I have been trying to get a lot of junk done to finish out the year. Thursday and Friday will be equally busy, then I will screw off next week! Ha! Actually, I am only working Monday and Tuesday next week…so it should be pretty stress free, I hope!

Today I had a nice meeting with a customer and then took them to lunch afterwards. There is a new restaurant in town, R.J. Gators, and it’s pretty good. I had me some gator tail for the first time in about six years. It was pretty good, and of course it tastes like chicken! The rest of the day has been busy, busy so I haven’t been able to keep up with many of my favorite blog reads! I promise to get to your sites and check them out soon!

Thanks for all the great comments about the “father and daughter” moment from Monday. I truly love being a Dad, it’s the greatest thing in the world. So many of you said some great things, and I regret that I haven’t been able to thank you all personally. Again…it’s been a hellish week! But, thanks for your kind words/thoughts/memories/experiences, etc.

I have made yet another new friend. Damn, didn’t I mention a few days ago how awesome this blogger community is? Well, I was sent some interesting offline messages from someone who was concerned about the security of my site. It seemed I was, unbeknownst to me, sharing some secret info here on my blog. Well, being the computer igmo that I am I wasn’t aware that with a simple right click you could have become privy to my full name. She helped me fix my problem and now I feel safer. Thanks to my new friend Martine from The Netherlands! And the world becomes even smaller….

Yep, I know you might be thinking, “Today is Hump Day…wonder if ole Chuckie is gonna get him some tonight?” Well, I got me a quickie last night. Susan has tonsillitis, so I am doubting the little monster will get it’s work out tonight. Well, unless I take things into my own hands!

Let me get through this busy week and I will be back with y’all. Have a good one!

I love being a Dad. Just about twenty minutes ago I was driving home after picking up my daughter from her math tutoring. I was doing as usual, singing along to a song on a CD (’Just Another Day In Paradise’, by Phil Vassar) and when it was over I turned the CD down and said to T, “Just think, someday you will be all grown up and you will think back to all the times your old Dad used to sing to you in the car.” She smiled and I turned the stereo back up just in time for ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. I had to sing along to this one, what Alabamian in his or her right mind wouldn’t, and half way through….right around the part about how “Birmingham loves the Governor”…I looked over and noticed she had her head down and her hair was blocking me from seeing her face. I turned the song down, and asked what was wrong? She looked up, then looked away out the window and said, “Nothing.” When she had looked up I noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. I pressed, “What is it honey?” She kept saying that it was nothing. I asked her if someone had been mean to her today? Had a teacher got on to her? Was she sad about a grade? She answered no to all of these. Finally she looked at me and said, “I just don’t want to grow up too fast and leave you.” God, that touched my heart. Of course me, the big Pus, started tearing up too and I said, “Hey you have quite a few years before you have to worry about that. When you move away from me it will be to go to college, and trust me…you will want to be away from me then!” I also told her, “But even when you are grown up you will always have a “home” with Dad and Susan to come home to.” That seemed to make her feel better and then we were home. She really is a sweet girl.

Today I was, yet a again, the Good Ex Husband. On the way back from a customer meeting I stopped off at the ex’s apartment, at her request, and helped her hang a few heavy mirrors and to put the kid’s bunk beds together. This is the third place she has lived in in the past twenty months, she was kicked out of the other two due to not paying rent. So, for the third time I went and helped her do the things she couldn’t do herself. She told me some disturbing things about her affair with the married therapist/pastor guy, but maybe that will be junk for another post.

Today when I got home I went online and checked out some of the ways folks are finding my site. Thanks to Chris’s suggestion I have installed a new site meter on my blog. It was interesting to find that someone came to my blog by googling “Scott Peterson Foot Fetish“. Damn, scary to think of what they were hoping to find!

Have a good Monday evening!
