Resolution-Based Date Ideas for 2013

by

This is going to be brief (not). We are far too busy during the holidays to sit around reading random posts by aspiring writers (even if they’ve just published a book on Amazon for Kindle – oh yeah… uh huh…). But I wanted to get this off to you quickly… before the Hanukkah and Christmas decorations were yanked off the walls and the New Year’s Eve celebrations and the endless professions of New Year’s Resolutions began.

You know, I’m not much on making resolutions. I’ve got enough lists of things to do, one of which is my list of lifelong and short-term goals. I am so damn goal-oriented, I get overwhelmed looking at how long my list of goals has become.

That said, I’m not living under a rock, and I see your tweets and Facebook posts. I see what you share with me in your circles. I realize everyone is thinking in these last few days of the year about New Year’s Resolutions.

So I’m going to provide you my giant list of Goals or Resolutions for the coming year (there are two), and I’m double-timing the list. It will also serve as a list of great date ideas for you and any significant other you choose, or happen to be with, in 2013. I love killing two birds with one stone. So instead of hitting the Hot or Not or Tinder app you single wild-things, try THIS. And this first one might feel a little harsh, but that’s what resolutions are for.

1. CLEANSE THE CRAP AWAY.

My Resolution: This past year I went through a TON of crap, surgically, physically, mentally, emotionally… you name it. I also have deep emotions about food and booze. I’m in love with both of them. It’s a sordid love triangle. If I need to feel the love, I allow myself more indulgence than is generally necessary. So, come January, (after the New Year’s holiday travel), I’ll be lean, and dry, eating organically as much as possible, and drinking all non-alcoholic beverages. I plan to do this for at least a month. Stay tuned on that.

Your Date: Similar to me, many of you have experienced your own share of CRAP. Only yours may have been with the opposite sex. If that is the case, do a cleansing ritual of your own (perhaps burn their names on little tiny pieces of paper and send their ashes down the toilet). Then do us all a favor (yourself mostly) and vow to have a closed door policy on your life, would you? At least in regard to Mr. or Ms. Charming. Unless he or she does what they should to be granted admittance, don’t let that door creak open. Trust me. You’ll be surprised and delighted. Once you are surprised and delighted, let them in, and you can continue the cleansing as follows:

Take a BATH together baby. You and your date should seek out a cool bath house, a hot springs spa, outdoor pools, or simply fill the backyard (or indoor) Jacuzzi! Then jump in and enjoy. Bring the strawberries and wine or champagne. Just because I am abstaining from alcohol, doesn’t mean you must.

Awesome pools for skinny dipping

2. EXERCISE FREQUENTLY.

My Resolution:  For the same reasons listed above, my daily workout regimen has suffered greatly. I’m feeling more these days like a bobble-body than a svelte, lean, mean fighting machine (which I vehemently prefer). Play time is OVER. Time to get back to it, and at LEAST 3 times per week, at that. This starts the same time as the cleansing.  Yes.  It’s on. (And yes, I will probably be doing my yoga practice which is in my new book on Amazon — yeeeeee!!!!)

Your Date:  We could figuratively go to a wide array of places with this one… have sex frequently (I love that one), go to the gym together… But how about you go out for a long walk or hike? Next time, ride bikes. Don’t own one? Take a drive to the nearest bike-friendly location and rent them for the day. If bikes aren’t your thing, there are any number of alternatives: roller skating, blading, skateboarding, exercise your mind playing chess in the park. Pick an exercise and do it together!

Just be Active!

That’s all I got for ya‘.  I told you it would be brief.  Now, if you are so inclined, I’d love for you to find my books on Amazon for the Kindle, Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD.  Don’t have a Kindle? It’s okay! Amazon has a free Kindle Reader for your computer.  Click here to see my books, and if you choose to purchase one for a buck, ninety-nine, there should be an option to download Kindle for PC or Mac.

Have a beautiful, fun, safe New Year’s Eve celebration lovely ladies and gentlemen!  I’ll be in touch very soon!

#MomFactor: If you’re a single mom, all of the above applies to you. And I MEAN THAT. Get out there and date, lady! If you aren’t single, get out there with your significant other and DATE lady!

Dirty Little Secrets

I’m working on smoky eyes in front of my mirror, to match my long-sleeved black-cuffed mauve blouse and tight black leather shorts outfit. Butterflies in my stomach.

Three years ago, maybe even to the day, my relationship with Christian turned into an affair. I didn’t plan it that way; it just happened.

I suppose the circumstances were right. Even though The Ex and I were working on working things out, deep down inside I hated him for putting me through everything he had. It was our roughest year yet, and I was quite sure The Ex was fucking whomever he wanted to as well. For the most part, we were just keeping up appearances for our family, because they were convinced that they would still get their wedding.

I do have regret for the way I handled the situation. I know I should have dealt with it like a mature adult, whatever that means. All I can say is, I never intended on having an affair; but sometimes when you’re in a relationship, you meet someone else who fills voids that your existing relationship just doesn’t fill. Or maybe you meet someone who brings escape from the problems of your existing relationship. Or maybe you just meet someone who throws you for a loop, blows your socks off, and intrigues you like you never expected.

If at first Christian’s undivulge-able absences made my palms sweat, they soon turned into a type of foreplay, which only made my fascination for him grow. He would write me these e-mails…about what he was doing, and what he wanted to do with me—even to me sometimes—and it was all very provocative. And when he was here, I would escape to his house for a long game of chess over a bottle of wine, giving him a place to rest his head and me a moment to find……whatever it was that I was looking for.

I loved The Ex, but we’d had a dysfunctional relationship from the very beginning. One day we would be madly in love; the next day we would be screaming at each other. Our brief engagement was just another piece of evidence that we probably didn’t have what it took to make things work long-term.

Christian and I didn’t have those problems. Of course, Christian and I also didn’t see each other on a regular basis, so we never had to face the daily grind of a real courtship. It was more idealistic—an unfair comparison, I know, to my in-the-trenches life with The Ex. But at the time, Christian was…my peace in times of war. He made me feel good when The Ex made me feel smaller than a speck of dirt. Christian put a smile on my face when I didn’t think I could smile again. Christian Knight became the knight in shining armor that I’d always thought The Ex should be.

I fantasized that one day, when he returned from one of his covert missions, Christian would show up on my doorstep and tell me he loved me and wanted to be with me forever, giving me the reason I needed to break up with The Ex for good. He would take me away from everything that made me despair, whisk me away to his kingdom that I knew so little about—except that it was far, far away—and we would live happily ever after. But that never happened. My relationship with Christian was as much a fantasy in my mind as it was in reality. He was an enigma, and I feared our association would forever keep itself in this one dimension. So after a year, I put an end to it.

It was an end though, without an official ending. I just stopped responding to his phone calls and e-mails, and he eventually stopped calling and writing. But every now and then I would catch myself thinking about Christian Knight, still wishing he would rescue me.

10 Things Girls Secretly Wish About Guys

by

I received some interesting comments in response to my article “10 Things Guys Secretly Wish About Women” here on my site, on Facebook and via personal emails.

It was a fun post to write. I really wanted to explore the subject because I feel as though women tend to believe (and promote) ridiculous notions about themselves. It is tiring and embarrassing being held accountable by men for ideas floating around (which sound good initially, but end up falling flat) like ‘women should “become” successful or fashionable or fit, because that is what a man wants’, or even worse, that certain behaviors are okay because we are – well, female – for goddsakes. Not true. Clinginess or nagging is unattractive no matter what sex organs you possess. Yes, there are certain things we can do to rock our partner’s world. The article definitely addressed some of those things (like supporting their passions, even if it involves watching, listening or sacrificing our date night to sports almost every day of the week). Reminder. It wasn’t a list of MUSTS – just what guys secretly wish. Likewise, this is not a MUST-DO list for guys. Guys can take it or leave it with no judgment whatsoever. They may never get lucky again, but hey – it’s their prerogative.

In all fairness, however, women deserve equal time.  I covered things for the guys, so by-god my girls and I get our day in Ms. Cheevious-land too.  Plus, some of you wrote and asked me to do it.

One of the things that crossed my mind when I decided to write about this was “are you friggin’ KIDDING? Women? The list could be endless!”

I admit I think we are a little whacky and our wishes about guys are all over the map.  With men, whittling it down to ten things seemed pretty easy – and I probably covered it pretty thoroughly. They’re pretty simple human beings.  Food, sex, laughs, eye candy and activities they enjoy (reading, athletic, channel surfing – choose the poison) are probably about it for them. Not so for women.  A quick Google search of the things women wish about guys delivered 579 million results.  That’s the actual number people.  One such result was a Facebook page dedicated to the 257 Things a Girl Wished a Guy Knew.  Wow. I wouldn’t want to be a guy.

If you haven’t noticed yet, WE’RE VERY DIFFERENT.

Female_Male_SymbolsThere are some really important differences between men and women (aside from the obvious) that make it truly impossible for me to list ALL the things women wish about men in this article.

EMOTIONS. We women are complex creatures who are not only willing to allow emotions a place of prominence in our decision making processes, we are  hardwired to do so (hormones, cycles, etc). Most men (not all, of course) are simple individuals (see above).  They know what they want and need, and they try to make that happen.  Simple.

BRAINS. Women think differently than men. We access our left and right brains simultaneously. Men use one side at a time. This benefits us often (we’re amazing multi-taskers), but it can backfire as well.  If, for instance, we are compelled by logic (left brain) NOT to text or call the guy — AGAIN — often (at the very same time) the right brain in all its creativity and imagination (fueled by those ooey-gooey, yummy emotions) offers up just as compelling an argument to do so, i.e. ‘but I really like him.. and…[imagining] wouldn’t we make such a cute couple? If I show him how cute I am, he’s bound to see how cute we would be together. I’ll text him this cute picture right now…”

BODIES. Our bodies are different, and have different needs. We possess extremely complex, multi-layered va-jay-jays (and our not-so-complex, but equally tantalizing ta-tas). Men have some pretty basic elements to their physiques – a penis and its – ehem – cohorts.  Once you’ve explored every nook and cranny, there AIN’T much else to discover.  But no one knows or holds the keys to the kingdom when it comes to every undiscovered secret of the great female organ. Not even the woman possessing it. So then, why would anyone expect that from any man (who simply wants food, sex, laughs and enjoyable activities)?

I could go on, but I think you get my point.

Still, in the name of equality, and in an effort to be just as thorough for my girls, I’m diving in.  LORD help me.

1. TREAT ME SPECIAL NO MATTER WHO IS AROUND (DON’T TREAT ME DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU”RE AROUND YOUR FRIENDS). That’s just weak.  Be good to me.  Period. Not too difficult. Don’t disrespect me. If you need guy time, I get it. Just don’t treat me like one of your locker room buddies when they are around (insults, jabs and wise-cracks about bodily functions included) and expect me to crawl all over you later that evening.

2. DON’T BE A JEALOUS  OR POSSESSIVE NANCY. That’s even weaker.  Be confident in yourself and in our relationship, no matter how gorgeous you think I am (and thank you, by the way, but it’s not a threat to you), or how scandalous and untrustworthy other guys may be.

3. DON’T BE A SLOBBOVIAN WHEN YOU GROOM YOURSELF. You did NOT just clip your nose hairs and leave it in the sink, did you?  Puh-leeez.  I am not your maid, or your mom.  I love seeing you when you’re well groomed (translation: when you look and smell clean and are the HOT guy I am attracted to).  I don’t want to know (or see or smell) how it happened, especially when it’s etched into the grout.

4. IF YOU ASK FOR DIRECTIONS WE WILL LOVE YOU MORE. You might even get a little extra somethin’ somethin’. This one requires no further explanation. Just ask, for goddsakes.

5. SUPPORT MY PASSIONS. Just as I watch and try to enjoy – or fake it  –  your sports, your dune buggies, motorcycles, model airplanes, etc… at least on occasion, I want you to do the same for my shows, my occasional trip to the mall, antiquing…. even daisy picking.    Yep…once more… with feeling.  The “Real Housewives,” “The Bachelor,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Revenge,” are all now part of the deal. And those daisies won’t pick themselves. But seriously men, if we agree to extend each other a hall pass for such activities, well, at least smile and act excited for us as we head out the door to our next chick flick.  When we see you next, maybe even ask about it, and try to act interested.  Don’t let your eyes glaze over.  Hopefully in return we’ll do the same while you’re on your way to hang out with the guys at the Sports Bar all day on a Sunday, or when you launch into a ten minute diatribe on the NFL draft and the doom of the first-round draft pick’s career.

Shopping is done

6. CELEBRATE MY SUCCESSES WITH ME. Don’t be threatened, even if you are out of work. My good fortune is your good fortune.  We’re a team.  If that means you are on Windex or Pledge duty, well, I’ll cheer you on too.  I’ll be that support you need, but don’t ruin things by handling my good fortune badly.

 

7. CUDDLE AND TOUCH ME MORE. I’m not saying it has to be all the time.  But geez, how about once in a while?  Maybe after a hard day, while we watch TV, anytime the time is right… caress my cheek… stroke my hair… squeeze my arm gently… hug me…  put your hand on my leg when we sit next to each other…  Once in a while will do.  Just do it.

 

8. MS. VA-JAY-JAY LIKES “SPECIAL” ATTENTION AS MUCH OR MORE THAN MR. WINKY. Because I am built so that you can please me in a multiplicity of ways, I don’t complain when I don’t get that specific attention.  Just don’t make it rare or never.  NOT ACCEPTABLE. Not only that, sometimes we actually want, or NEED to have that full-throttle orgasm that just won’t happen by the traditional means.  You may have to get creative yourself Mister.

9. SURPRISE ME. Let me know you are thinking of me when I’m not around. Buy me some flowers or do something as a token of your affection… at work or at home… in a restaurant — For no apparent reason.

Whistle While You Mop

10. BE MY MAN. And all that entails.  Chivalry is not dead, and contrary to popular belief – I still like it. I am strong, intelligent, independent and an incredible success story in my own right. I’m not looking for a knight in shining armor, necessarily, but if you want to walk on the street side of the sidewalk, and open the door for me, I won’t mind.  I would also greatly appreciate and probably become your love slave, should you find occasion to defend my honor, and do so.  I’m just sayin’.  I don’t need a man to rescue me, but I do appreciate him showing that he can, that he cares  and that he is willing, should he see the opportunity.

So there you have it. I did say there was no way on EARTH to cover everything, didn’t I?

Check in next time for something frivolous and delicious.  I’ll be over here conjuring it up…

Love you people!!!!! Mmmmppphhhuuuhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

10 Things Guys Secretly Wish About Women

by

Awww.  Men.  Try as they may to figure out the feminine psyche, they just can’t seem to pull it together.

But hey, women are no Einsteins when it comes to figuring men out either.  That’s why books of the Mars and Venus persuasion are such top sellers.  We spend millions trying to get inside the minds and hearts of the opposite sex.

Women especially do some serious spending on the subject.  But you’re in luck ladies.  You can stop spending those millions right now because I’ve spelled out for you below what guys really think – and what they wish about women. (I’ll get to what women secretly wish about guys soon, don’t you men worry).

Remember, these below are what I believe most guys truly think – if they’re being honest.  My thoughts on each are included, as well as how I interpret the “guy’s perspective.” Also- many of you will note, these are not such “SECRET” wishes. Yes, guys have been verbal about most of these things for eons.  Some of this is pretty damn deep, and may actually cause you to question your own intentions in your life and relationships, but that’s what I’m here for. Dr. Ms. Cheevious. Now, let’s dive in.

1. DON’T BE A CLING-MEISTER.

Women who are clingy should get a life.  Confidence, intelligence, and spending time with friends – apart from a significant other  – is just plain sexy, and those traits make people more interesting anyway. If you want to lose a guy – and fast – sit around moping until he comes home, let him know how much you missed him while he was gone for an hour, and beg to come with him each time he wants to go out with the guys for a beer (be sure to whine and let your eyes well up).

2. I DON’T KNOW WHAT I DID. I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING.

Ladies, tell your guy what you think!  Especially if he hurt your feelings, or did something to upset you! And not a distilled, filtered, purified version that you “believe” he can handle. None of us are experts on what he or anyone else can handle from us… And well – DUH – he is not a mind reader, for goddsakes. Be transparent, authentic and REAL. Misrepresenting your true self and feelings, or expecting him to figure it out will DEFINITELY backfire.

3. JEALOUS WOMEN ARE NUT JOBS.

Jealousy

“Jealous?  Me? No. Those hot women fawning over him are awesome.  They remind me of how hot he is, and he’s all mine. Uh – huh.  Awesome.” Basically, if you are not secure in your own beauty (inward and outward), and in how he truly feels for you, then what are you doing with the guy? Clarification: I am not condoning smarmy, flirtatious behavior on the part of your guy that is either an obvious ploy to *create* jealousy in you, or just proves how ridiculously ICKY he is (in which case, what are you doing with the guy)?  No, this is all about the fact that being with a man who is attractive to women, but knows to put respect for you first, and to put the attention from other hotties in its place, should be something to be proud of. Enough said.

4. FEMALE SPORTS LOVERS ROCK. (in most cases, for many men)

Image from: http://lineaday.blogspot.com/2011/05/when-you-grow-up-fantasizing-about-pro.html

Example: this football (golf, soccer, fill-in-the-blank) thing on Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays (or any day, really) is so much fun!  Did someone say football pool?  Seriously, not all men actually want their woman around for every Monday Night Football, or (insert any other sport). Guys like to hang out with the guys sometimes as well.  The point is, some men (I’ll admit, not all are sports fanatics) wish women were supportive of their need for sports (or whatever their passion), even if sometimes their “need” seems to extend into many other areas of life.  If it’s a passion of theirs, they want freedom to pursue it, watch it and enjoy it.  If you’re happy to join in sometimes, all the better.  If it is getting in the way of your happiness, then you either need to take a look at whether your demands for attention are balanced, or perhaps you should look for a guy who likes to read books or something (not that there is anything wrong with that).

5. WE HATE NAGGIE-STILTSKINS.

Image from: http://joanne-helpinghands.blogspot.com/2010/03/confessions-of-nagging-wife.html

I so agree with this, ladies.  My take?  If I asked him once… let’s say, to take out the trash (to be stereotypical), or… not to park on the left side of the driveway… and he didn’t (or did) do it, there must be an excellent reason. Don’t nag – COMMUNICATE.  Find a unique and non-threatening way to broach the subject, but do not — REPEAT:  DO NOT bring it up AS. IT. IS. OCCURING… or while you are upset about it. HOLD (AND BITE) YOUR TONGUE. Shelve it for a few hours, or days without stewing over it. Make a mental note and think about a good way to approach it.  Ask a good friend or mentor for advice if you must, but be careful to choose someone you know to be impartial and fair. Then, only when you are confident that you can bring it up without stress, talk about it! And, if you happen to be with a lame-duck kinda guy who always forgets that you asked him to not do something (or vice versa), well it may be time to trade up.  Just sayin’.  Do you really LIKE being a nag?

6. DON’T BE A BAT-SHIT CRAZY STALKER.

VLUU L200 / Samsung L200

 

Stalker girlfriends, once discovered, are dumped pretty damn fast. Plus – if you’re resorting to stalking him, there is not only trouble in paradise, my dear, but also in your head. And not to be confused with cling-meister behavior, which is done in the open, or jealousy, which is a feeling based in insecurity, stalking is general done covertly and in secret. Don’t tell him you’re going out with friends only to spy on him in disguise while he’s out with the guys. Don’t go through his drawers or his cell phone. Do NOT hack his email. Just don’t. Not because of what you may find (though you’ll deal with that soon enough – and then some), but because it’s a clear sign you are in need of some psychiatric help, or at minimum, a life. Learn to trust him, yourself… everyone, because I am guessing if you are resorting to these things, there are some serious issues to deal with here.  Get help.

7. BE WHO YOU ARE. DON’T CHANGE FOR ME.

It takes courage! Be who you are. 100%
 

Though he can’t figure out what you’re thinking, most guys get a sixth sense when a woman is faking enthusiasm over his poker night or if she is just trying too hard.  Besides, that act can only last so long before it all falls apart. If you saw “Runaway Bride” with Julia Roberts, you know what I’m talking about. Under the guise of being “open to try new things” her character “tried” things she KNEW she didn’t like, at the sacrifice of her own happiness. BE WHO YOU ARE. Stick to your guns. Guys respect their woman for her tastes and preferences, and for bringing something unique to the table.

This one is explicit – PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

8. BE SEXUALLY CREATIVE.

Image from: http://mootee.typepad.com/innovation_playground/

Missionary position again? Can we please experiment some?  Trust me on this one… it is not only a guy complaint.  But girls – ya gotta be willing to try new things and have some fun with it.  Bring toys (and I don’t mean your favorite stuffed teddy bear from kindergarten, unless you have something kinky going on there), body oils, sexy photos, porn – whatever.  Be the first on occasion to suggest a trip to the local bikini bar to spice things up if that is your thing (note: I didn’t say if that is “his” thing, because if it is not your thing, you’re not BEING WHO YOU ARE #7).  Whatever you do, just change things up now and then. Also, I would be remiss to omit this one, because it is true:  guys wish their gal absolutely loved giving him blow jobs. There. I said what everyone knows, but hates to say out loud. GUYS WANT HEAD – REGULARLY ladies. The KITTEN is now out of the bag. This is a guy’s DREAM COME TRUE. If it’s not your thing, this is the one place I may even go so far as to say “FAKE IT” HA! That, or find a way to enjoy giving them. Chocolate, anyone? Unless, of course you find the one guy who can’t handle blow jobs, then you’re in luck.

9. BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN.

Image from: http://glasshalffuller.blogspot.com/2010/05/what-superbowl-ads.html

One of the biggest turn-ons for most guys is for a woman to walk around in front of them naked and unashamed.  I don’t mean “parading” yourself in front of him (although I’m sure most guys would love that as well). I’m speaking of every-day life here. When you’ve just had sex, don’t grab the blanket to cover you up while you run off to get dressed in private. It may be a cute stunt once, but if you’re hoping for longevity, you’re going to have to progress here. If this is not your thing, you may want to ask yourself “WHY?” What are you ashamed of? What embarrasses you about how you look? Just remember that negative opinions and feelings are contagious.  Be careful what you project to your guy (and others) about yourself. Remember guys are visual, so they will notice and love if you are unencumbered, but definitely if you make this into a big deal.

More important however, is to love yourself AS.YOU.ARE. Focus on the good things.  But if you don’t like your tummy rolls and you can change it – then do. PERIOD. Which leads me to another aspect of being comfortable in your own skin: Guys love a girl who takes care of herself, physically, medically, and aesthetically. You are lovely. So prove it! Then, birthday suit aside, whatever you decide to wear (in the clothing department), choose wisely. Wear what you love – what makes you feel good, and what you love being in. Otherwise, to a guy, why would you be wearing it? Also, this is an addendum to being creative sexually, but maybe it’s time to get to the closest lingerie shop and find something that looks and FEELS FABULOUS? Just remember – back to #1 (and a constant thread throughout) – Confidence is a SEXY trait. A little bit of whimsy doesn’t hurt either.

10. VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE.

Image from: http://www.mryantaylor.com/2010/10/the-spice-of-life-part-i-loving-more-to-live-more/

Ahhh.  This is a HUGE subject. Oh yes, you have heard it talked about before, but you’re going to hear it here, in Ms. Cheevious-ese (?)…  I’ve not yet addressed what many women consider unspeakable – the issue of boredom, and some of the known ways of combating it (or not) in relationships. We’ve all heard of people trying threesomes, hall-passes, and more to stave off “boredom” with a long-term partner.  Are they necessary?  Do they work?  That’s between you and your man.  I will say this:  Let’s face it.  The idea of waking up to the same person, the same body, the same skin, with all the flaws out there in the open day after day – well it at minimum can be intimidating and daunting. It’s not that your man has to have those threesomes or hall passes, or any of the things you’ve heard of (maybe even practiced). Hell no. Every person, and every relationship is completely different.

But it’s important to talk about how are you defining “boredom.”  I personally believe many men are truly not built for monogamy, and love to explore other “grass,” whether it’s greener over there or not. They’re just hard-wired to need their freedom to explore. I won’t get into that psyche, because it simply cannot be hashed out in a single article (or even a book)!  Plus, whether you choose to accept that in your relationship (the hall passes or threesomes, whatever) is – again – between you and your man. But if you are talking about “boredom” in the sense of “tired of” or “weary” then there are some other things going on there, and sometimes people confuse that for the need for “other” or “greener” grass.

When a man grows weary or tired in a relationship it’s generally because the relationship has become all work and no play – all the time. If he is constantly surrounded by the same-ole, getting-stale you, it may cause him to wonder more about what else might be out there. And wonder breeds wander. I’m not telling you to change who you are or that you are old or stale. I’m saying a guy can handle the same you day in and day out a whole lot easier, if he isn’t expected to endure all of your stresses, depressions, worries, fears, hangups (emotional and physical) without also enjoying the equally yummy (confident, non-clingy, non-naggy, sexually creative, etc..) you he came to know and love. Our guys are there to support us through the stresses (or they should be), but they are also hoping we’ll get through it all and get back to enjoying life.

And this my girls is the GRANDADDY of all philosophies right here, and my own personal mantra: ENJOY EVERY MOMENT.  If life is hard, reach out, get help, work through things, and MOVE THE F*CK ON. We all go through rough patches when we aren’t so pleasant to be around. Just don’t let the rough patches keep you from being beautiful inside AND out for long (clinical depression or similar conditions not included).

Before I finish this point, let me close with saying that none of this is bullet proof protection against a guy (or woman, for that matter) fantasizing about threesomes, or your being treated badly or getting dumped. If you are not going through a rough patch, you both laugh and truly enjoy each other’s company and the sex is phenomenal, yet he still wants the hall pass or otherwise, and you’re not into it – well then that may be a deal breaker and he is probably not the guy for you. Or, if you are in a relationship with a selfish, narcissistic, chauvinistic, rude, mean or abusive person, no amount of “work” or “growth” on your part will make things better, and you should dump his ass and MOVE THE F*CK ON.

Men are not generally visceral beings.  As a matter of fact, I find it rare for a man to emote or use intuition much at all when he experiences something with a brand new love interest.  No.  That’s a female thing.

Do you think most men sit around after a fantastic evening with a beautiful lady they’ve just met (maybe there was some kissing or something sexual), and draw conclusions about what she is thinking, or wonder if she’s going to call?  Do you think he romanticizes having kids with you and shopping for a new home?  Nope.  He enjoyed himself physically… probably visually and socially, but the serious or real emotions take a long while for guys.  They have to be in a situation with someone for a long time before they start allowing those emotions into their life.

And girls – guys’ “long” times are so much longer than ours.  Many females think they know if they want to be in a relationship with a guy after only a few dates.  Be honest. How many times did you take it all the way to the thought of “you” sharing his last name, after only a couple of months?  Most times McDreamy or McSteamy never has the chance to catch up emotionally or intuitively, before women start changing who they are, following him around, trying to lure him away from his sports or other passions, clinging to his every move, thus chasing him away.  Let’s give the good guys a break here and focus the work on ourselves, shall we?

Fini! Done! Moving on!

Stay tuned next week for a guest post extra from a fantastic fellow blogger, Liz at www.welovedates.com!  She’ll be talking about how her independence gets in the way and can cause some silly fights. Until next time my lovelies!

Love you people!!!!!!! Mmmmphhhhuuuhhhhh!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

Sh*t Girls Say — If They’re Ms. Cheevious

by

I’ll admit. I had to do it. I cannot watch something like “Shit Girls Say,” which is so hysterically funny without thinking, ‘HOLY CRAP that sounds an awful lot like a sweeter version of me!’ I’m sure that’s what was intended.

But I think I’m pretty funny. Is that bad?  I’m pretty harmless in my narcissistic view of my hilariousness. I simply crack myself up. What harm is there in that? I’m sure I turn some heads as I walk past folks in the market or on the street chuckling out loud at something I just said out loud to myself, but who is it hurting? That’s all I wanna’ know.  A little nuttiness never hurt anyone.  As a matter of fact, my man M.C. Nugget and I make a habit of exhibiting nutty and weird behavior on a regular basis.

Before I get rolling on that whole tangent, let me get to the point of this post.  I think you will really laugh (or at the very least, mildly chuckle) at the first clip I have for you – my muse, if you will, when it came to putting together “Shit Girls Say if They’re Ms. Cheevious”… And then you’ll see that very video (and either laugh, cry, or mildly chuckle).

The difference between the two is that the first was professionally produced.  It was also scripted and performed by a dude in a chick’s wig, who is very funny, alongside a star – like – um, JULIETTE LEWIS.  You’ll know her when you see her.

My clip is REAL SHIT. Things I said without being prompted, which were caught on video.

After you’ve enjoyed both of these short clips, I have a little project we can ALL participate in.

I’d like for you to help me write a new video via the COMMENTS section on this post, which WILL be scripted and performed by a few of my best and hottest gal pals (also actresses). It will be called Shit Ms. Cheevious Girls say.  If we get some great phrases here, when it is up on YouTube, I will enable ads on the video, and any proceeds made from those ads we’ll donate to a charity of our choice (we’ll vote on that when the time comes).

Watch, Enjoy, and put your thinking caps on.  I’ll throw out some suggestions after the clips to get the ball rolling in your brains.

SHIT GIRLS SAY, EPISODE 1

If you can’t see the above Youtube window in your browser, please click here

SHIT GIRLS SAY – IF THEY’RE MS. CHEEVIOUS

Again, if you can’t view the above video window in your browser, click here

BEFORE YOU COMMENT:

Now, in terms of coming up with comments.  This video will be scripted, and I’d like to use my “Girls” as some inspiration.  By that I mean the girls in my paintings, which you can see some of them here on my website (left border) or those I will actually use are here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150193003761734.291906.119215056733&type=3.

The “Girls” all have names, and I’d like to give them personalities.  If you’re inclined feel free to specify who would “say” your comment.  I’ll hand pick some gorgeous girlfriends who are also actresses to represent some of the girls and act these out.  Here are some ideas that have been thrown around for Shit Ms. Cheevious Girls Say, and remember:  You MUST think Ms. Cheevious-ly.  And think about all areas of life – health, fitness, medical, career, leisure, entertainment.  Whatever!  And remember:  Ms. Cheevious girls are EMPOWERED, INDEPENDENT, LOVING, FUN girls.  So here are just a couple to get you started!

1.  Does this dress make me look too skinny?

2. Do you remember that thingy that I wanted to BLOG about?

3. O.M.G. Girlfriend!!!!

4. AAAAAAAHHHHHH (screaming & jumping up and down because they find JAMESON’S or Grey Goose Vodka on sale at the grocery store).

5. Dude your boobs look GOOD in that!

If you want to see more specific phrases that we are USING, I’m compiling them on a private note on Facebook, and can share them upon request.  Just ask! Now put your minds into high gear, and let’s all create a really FANTASTIC video, shall we?  You will get credit (you’ll be credited as you are listed here on the blog, if we use your quote) in the video credits, so get rolling.  Put those ultra witty, razor sharp, naughty, nice, sweet, funny thoughts down below!  I can’t wait!

Then, boys and girls, stay tuned next time for something entirely different.

Love you people!!!!! Mmmmmmppppphhhuuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious

The OFFICIAL X-Factor

by

 

I apologize in advance, but this is not a review of the popular television show The X Factor starring Simon Cowell. You will not find any content about singers or performers here.  No, my little devlish ones, this post is about the OFFICIAL X-Factor, and stars one Ms. Nawty Norski, but the only singing going on in this post, well – there is none.  You can hum along to “Oh Sweet Mystery of Life” if you’d like (look it up you rug-rats that don’t know what I’m talking about, sheesh! Look specifically for clips of the late Madeline Kahn belting out a few bars of it in the classic favorite, and hilarious film “Young Frankenstein”).

Over the recent Valentine’s Day holiday, a gal pal of mine, Ms. Nawty Norski, posed the following question, which is the essence of this post – The OFFICIAL X-Factor:

Can women successfully rekindle the flames of love and passion, or more importantly, have healthy relationships with X-boyfriends?

It came about because an X of Nawty’s got back in touch suddenly,  for no apparent reason. He is an X from years ago, who was far too immature to give her what she desired from a relationship back in the day. That’s why it ended in the first place.

In his most recent communications, X-Man seemed interested to pick things up from their most intimate of stopping points, professing a newfound maturity that was obviously amiss in years past.

She remained a bit ambivalent about the matter, but was willing to consider the merits of the situation, should Mr. X deliver the goods he was promising (those “goods,” aside from his newfound maturity, well they’re a bit x-rated. You see, Ms. Norski sent around a Nawty-Note for Valentine’s Day about how women are only interested in men who possess some very – ehem – specific qualities.  Not all physical, mind you.  One of those qualities was fiduciary. Well, Mr. X, who’d already been trying to “reconnect,” as it were, responded in the affirmative to her Nawtiness). Being the adventurous, mscheevious, inquisitive, fun-loving gal that Nawty is, she spent the evening at his home on Valentines Day. Nothing serious happenend, but she was not convinced. She asked me to pose it to you – my lovely readers. What do you think?

(Above image “borrowed” from http://furniturestoretoronto.blog.com/ex-boyfriend-quotes/)

Can we women overlook the hurt, pain, confusion and/or frustration (even disinterest) of the past with an X-boyfriend, husband or otherwise, and hope to engage in a fulfilling, fun, adventurous, positive relationship experience today?

Tell us what you think you wise, razor-sharp boys and girls. I am waiting with bated breath. And Ms. Norski? She’s holding hers. So hurry it up. The clock’s ticking. And you don’t have to join any email list to comment below, so you have no excuse. Feel free to advise Ms. Nawty Norski in your comment.

I’m going to post the most creative, fun, interesting, random or weird comment in my blog next time, so get to it, and use that wicked-smart wit and brain-power you’ve been given.

That’s all for today, but I’m in Mammoth Mountain ski resort as I type this, so you’ll be seeing another couple of videos from me very soon. Sorry. The nuttiness WILL forge on.

Love you people!  Mmmmmppphhhuuuuhhhh!!!!

xoxo,

Ms. Cheevious
