So I have this time on my hands, what with the "strike" and all, and so when I'm not waving my "F Jeffrey" picket sign in the air (which I will continue to wave even after the strike is over) I've been doing some serious thinking. (Danger, Will Robinson. DANGER.)

Fun Fact Number One: Being menopausal is sometimes just like being pregnant— big sore breasts, nausea, no more period, hungry ALL THE GODDAMN TIME. How unfair is that?!

This is what happened. It all went down at The Little Red Schoolhouse, which is as great a name for any school as I can imagine. A fairytale place. Where magic happens.

"Sex is spontaneous and dirty. Sex is... all the time. Whenever, wherever you want it. Sex is like the movies. it's like going to a PG show and then suddenly finding yourself at the NC17."

It starts this way. Mr. Handsome comes up to me and says, “Mommy, you know my favorite President is Abraham Lincoln.” To which I reply, “Why, that’s wonderful lovey.” To which he replies, “You know he did the emancipation proclamation.” To which I then say, “It is amazing and historic that we are going to have our first African American president of the United States.” To which he then says, “Can we go?”
Which somehow leads us to the back seat of a car that is driving us from Dulles International Airport towards our nation’s capital at midnight. Me and Mr. Handsome, in the fire-engine-red down coat newly purchased for the occasion (the better not to lose him was my idea) and it is fucking freezing cold. “It’s kind of cold, isn’t it, Mommy?” says Mr. Handsome and I say, “Oh, no, you’re just not used to this weather because you live in L.A.” when I’m really thinking, “History should be confined to warm climates.”

So in the spirit of the holiday season, I found out that Wednesday was “Day Without A Gay.” I found this out while I was standing at the Troubadour nightclub on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, where I still live, though I do have these crazy moments when I think about pulling out a mid-life crisis card and moving to Hawaii.

It was just about one year ago that I wrote my first gratitude journal. I must admit, it was not easy to feel grateful about a whore-mongering husband or a best friend who decided to set her beady, near-sighted eyes on my philandering spouse.

In general, I like to talk about sex way more than I like to talk about politics. I always feel more satisfied after a good girl gab that has to do with our sex lives (or lack thereof) than one of those boring meetings about who is running for city council.

I’ve never been that big on anniversaries. Well, let me put it another way. Jeffrey was never that big on anniversaries and so I guess I picked that little bad habit up from him. He said he didn’t want us to be like everybody else. That holidays of any kind were a Hallmark construct and that he sure as hell wasn’t buying in.

I am not one to hold a grudge. Okay, I am one to hold a grudge (see Jeffrey, see Jeffrey fucks Super Fan in my very own living room) but in honor of the Jewish Holidays, I had made a plan to get over that. Not to get over the Super Fan fucking, necessarily, but the holding a grudge part.
