We just caught you ridin' dirty...

No way dude cause you're ridin' dirty


Is it Friday yet? Sure feels like it. Gotta love shorter weeks. Deadlines are a little trickier to meet but it all just evens out when you’re making a mad dash from the office to be anywhere BUT there.

Could you tell I was indulging in a beverage or two when I blogged Friday night? Perhaps you noticed I was a little more eloquent. And a little more… angry. Little did I know how much more was going to hit the fan with the whole G20 weekend. All the Becker’s are safe and accounted for so we’re all good.

Our pub crawl Friday night was a double edged sword. It was great to be able to walk right in at any time to places that usually the line up would be too intense to even consider. In turn, some places we turned around and walked right out since it was deadsville. Even though it’s all about the company you keep – and we are fantastic company – but we can drink alone at any one of our places for not only a lot cheaper, but with a whole heck of a lot less judgement.

Scored myself a few modest points by giving out my number to three different gentlemen (at the same venue – two when we were there the first time, and the third when Gwen and I returned later) and a quick PG makeout. Some of the Beckers started a little earlier on the bottle that day than others, so when Gwen and I bid adieu to Cassie, Monica, Alex and another guest who had decided enough was enough, we started our trit trot down the street to go back to a venue that we were at earlier that was pretty fun. Mid-way there was a cab with three gentleman that passed us by and they were looking pretty good, so we invited them to join us. Read: there was screaming involved. They let us know where they were going, to which we replied “that place is for douchebags, so see ya!” Fast forward to a few moments later as Gwen and I were continuing down the street, the guys were behind us trying to catch up and identifying themselves as “the douchebags – wait up!” They were Brazilian and cut a nice silhouette from afar. Were they as attractive standing infront of us as from the cab? No, but the wheels were already in motion so you just have to roll with it. When we arrived I spotted one of the gentlemen from earlier on that evening and when we started talking again, the clingiest of our entourage quickly put the kibosh on that by slipping his arms around me. Thanks for the block dude, thanks for the block. My number pretty much just deleted itself from his phone. Ah well.

Gwen and I continued to somewhat enjoy (put up with?) the attention from the gentlemen. My clinger was as Gwen would put it, acting like an octopus so since his face was already in mine I decided I might as well. That was short lived cause next thing I know Gwen points to her ring finger and then points to his and gives the all-call. Oh hell no! I don’t care that your girlfriend is back in Brazil. Homey don’t play that, so we shut that party down real fast. G and I surveyed the rest of the scene and then decided to leave for home. Which happened all on foot since the streetcars just weren’t coming. But to entertain ourselves we stopped at every single group of police officers along the way (G20 – there were a lot). Some seemed pleased to chat, others clearly were a few years away from retirement, were angry and just don’t interact with civilians…

A fun night that ended with some unexpected exercise a pied and a Rabba visit instead of Sobey’s… but hey, amongst other things us Beckers are very flexible.

Happy Canada Day!

just can not watch this game in the office.....

Quick poll...

What are our views on a guy shaving his chest??

a) hot! lets see those abs baby!

b) only ok if required by profession (model, swimmer, etc)

c) maybe ok, if the alternative is a sasquatch

d) never ok, I prefer sweater vests

Keeping Fit

Top of the Morning to you,

Well, I met my goal for last week, and broke into the 200 level of this game! I sense some of the other girls are coming up fast behind me, so I should enjoy the lead while it is still in my hands.

After my adventure last night with Gemma I thought today I would focus on keeping fit, and some of the efforts the Beckers are making to achieve our health goals.

So here we are, edging on mid-season, and some of the Beckers have put a recent focus on getting healthy. What is the motivation? Training for September playoffs? Planning to rack up more points over the next couple months and believe a hot bod will help that goal? Bikini season here....and maybe we'd like to look like this?: http://www.wwtdd.com/2010/06/kelly-brook-bikini-pictures-day-2/

Efforts to date:

• Recently Pam became a member at the same fitness club I go to, and we are trying to find a day or 2 a week to meet up for some Becker bonding while calorie burning.
• Meanwhile Gemma and I met for our first outdoor "Boot Camp" class last night, which means some burning muscles today and no heavy lifting for a couple days.....next week Chelsea and Cassie are planning to join the class as well, so we can stumble around the park together in an effort to tone these active bodies.
• Our fair Brooke plays soccer as her fitness activity of choice, which I plan to get back into come the fall.
• Many of the girls enjoy running/jogging......and my text messages tell me Chelsea has even ventured into the world of running with the lastest member of her fan club, 'White Shirt'.
• Like every female in Toronto (it seems) we all dabble in yoga/pilates classes.

MOST Importantly......The one activity every Becker is proud to be doing, that not only burns calories but has multiple health benefits.....yep, you guessed it......S-E-X !!

Research (and experience) tells me the workout between the sheets is a great stress reliever, calorie burner, flexibility increaser, promoter of good rest and of course promoter of good moods!

I thnk we can all agree that Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod (seen in picture above) would approve of the Becker's ambition to "Keep Fit and Have Fun".

Here's wishing you lots of safe & fun exercise this summer,

Monica

Week 11 standings

Its been a doozy folks! With some heavy recycling, NFLD points being reported and new batters being introduced to the line up this is one of our highest scoring weeks yet!

• Monica is still on top, and has broken the two hundred mark! She lands at 208 points after some "I missed you so much" recycling with Beer following a week long hiatus while she was out east.
  
• The recycling theme continues with Chelsea... a whole lot of White Shirt action has her at 157 points.
  
• Our fair Pamela was working the crowd on Friday night to get her to a cool 156 points.
  
• Look out world, Brooke has arrived! Thanks to her antics in NFLD, and heavy recycling with the Brit upon her return, she's finished the week at 147 points.


• Next up, Cassie has joined the century club this week (100 pts +) following some action with GL and New Guy. She's at 125 points.


• Gwen did her part to welcome the Brazilian delegates (probably not part of G20, but lets roll with it) on Friday night, taking her to 97 points for the week.
  
• Victoria remains at 75 points for this week. Will she jump on the recycling bandwagon for next week??
  
• Hot Spur has been helping Alex climb the charts. She's at 56 points for the week.


• Gemma avoided the riots this weekend by spending some time with family. We're all relieved that there were no points earned :) She remains at 21 points.

Can they keep it up folks? I certainly hope so!!

Toodles,

Cassie x

Ain't nothing gonna break my stride...

Quick update from Cassie on this hazy Monday morning.

Great weekend all around for this Becker. I was not about to let some crazy protesters or torrential downpours get in my way, let me tell ya!

Friday night was the much anticipated SOS pub crawl. Monica and I kicked things off a little early out on a King West patio, and then were joined by Alex, Pamela, Gwen and two SOS supporters back at my place. Some quick ‘force-blogging’ for Alex ;-) and numerous bevvies later, we take it to the streets of Toronto. King West was quieter than usual, but that didn’t stop us from having a good time and acquiring some points along the way!

Saturday I went to help out with my nieces’ birthday party. Nothing like 20 screaming 6/8 year olds to cure a hangover! Headed back home for a power nap before entertaining the Giant Loser for the evening. Seems this guy’s expiration date keeps moving up… he’s going to Oxford in the fall - start date is October, moving day was September, and now August... next thing you know he’ll tell me he’s leaving tomorrow. I get the hint buddy. This may have been the final recycle.

No worries though, not ready to settle for a break in the line up, I have been talking to an interesting gentleman that we’ll call New Guy for now. New Guy and I have been having some great, and all-day-long texting sessions. He is super fun. We had made plans to meet up tonight (Monday) for dinner at his place, but before I knew it we had bumped up the Monday night date to last night! He is a good looking dude, and had a nice place too! New guy made me dinner, and was rewarded with a HR. I am hoping for more recycling here.

New guy also helped me reach a new personal milestone. Chelsea – you and I are sharing a cake!

Until next time,
Cass x

p.s. muscial accompaniment on this Monday morning... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28KobNbbI2s

G20 you suck and I hate you

You move in on my territory at work & freak us all out, forcing me to work from home today in which I had to call my IT guy this morning on the designated number (aka his cell, which he sounded like he was at a party. Not happy when he had to talk work stuff. Therefore not helpful worth $hit. That is why the second time I called the other number and that dude sounded like he was still in bed. What the hell?? YOU circulated those numbers, not moi.) I can deal.

You take away my patios. I can deal.

You slow down my street cars. I can deal.

You block my cell phone bidnass. I can deal. (And I am popular)

You populate my 'hood with more crazies than usual. I can deal.

You take over my Captivate Network screen in the elevators which I usually like to read for weather updates and news snippets so I can have topics of convo to toss out there while I am waiting for the a-holes at work to finish heating up their stinky lunch in the microwave and move the hell out of my way so that I can get a fork. I can deal. (And potentially starve to death thank you very much.)

You threaten my "personal safety". I can deal.

You cancel local sporting events that I had plans to go to. I can deal.

You clean up my streets so that I'm not walking through a sea of refuse and trash in my open-toed sandals. I can deal.

You clean up the empties and ciggy butts faster than they can be produced by myself and fellow SOS'ers. I can deal.

But where $hit gets real and gets real fast, is when I go to hit up my local LCBO (aka church) and it is boarded up for the weekend thanks to you. I almost suffered a concussion due to falling to the ground in shock and disbelief and my makeup smeared from tears. A gal could dehydrate in this city faster than Cassie burns through a baker's doz pack o' Magnums.

FURTHERMORE, the knife slices through that final black and shrivelled artery of this "heart" of mine is when you close my local 24 hour grocery store. Oh no.

No.

No.

No.

Why don't you just show up to my house Christmas morning after I have invited all my family and friends for the most magical Christmas ever, then $hit on my Martha Stewart turkey n' trimmin's fit for 50 of the most distinguished guests, then burn that mutha down. Did I mention we're out in the middle of nowhere having a Norman Rockwell holiday so there's nothing around for miles and miles?

That explains how I feel right now. This "heart" is broken and heavy. You've done it and I hope you're HAPPY!!!!!!!

G20 can EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT happy, NOT friendly, but still FABULOUS (and you're f'in lucky)

PAM

Alex intro... and then some

Alex Becker checking in! I know I know … it’s taken me this long to write a blog, but that’s just how I roll … a bit behind my sisters!



So here’s an update on what’s been happening this summer for this little Becker: I have been on dates with three eligible (well almost) bachelors!

• Bachelor #1 – Mr. Laundry. We went on two dates. Date number one: we met for drinks. He was fun, smart and good looking. We had lots of chemistry, the conversation was fun and it seemed like we had lots in common. He told me that he was ready to settle down, get married and have kids … YA on the first date! So the attraction was obviously mutual. After about three hours of good conversation and drinks he told me that he would drive me home. Once outside my apartment I thanked him for a wonderful evening and attempted to give him a hug, to which he replied “that’s it?” and I replied “oh, would you like to come up?” and he said “YES”… on base actioned followed!
  Fast forward to second date. Once again out for drinks, lots of good conversation, chemistry yadi yada yada … So he tells me that he used to be engaged, so I asked "how long ago" … he says… "well lets just say that It's not ancient history" WTF is that suppose to mean? He seemed to get really nervous after my questions and his next statement was "I need to go home and do laundry!!!! Once again WTF! So a few days after he texted me and said "Just wanted to let you know that I started seeing my ex" = I am still engaged…. Ummmmm NO!!!! On to the next one!


• Bachelor #2 – The Old Guy. He was … well old! But I thought it would be a different experience and who am I kidding … it would get me POINTS. Ok, so old guy was 48 years old. So I was optimistic, he picked me in a convertible BMW and he was pretty good looking … for an old guy ... but he sounded like an old guy. He was boring and only spoke about himself and his multimillion dollar business. I couldn’t get a word in … it was all about his travels and how great he was. Again … on to the next one!


• Bachelor #3 – Hottie Hot Hot (aka Hot Spur). We found ourselves a winner … at least in terms of recycling! He’s super cute, tall, dark, handsome… and good in bed! If we’re skipping ahead ... his biggest fault is that he doesn’t wear undies, which in the grand scheme of things is NOTHING to complain about!!! Easy access right? So this dude and I have been on a few dates now and recycling potential is looking good!!! More to cum from this one ;)

And if tonight is any indication, the other Becker ladies will force me to provide a progress report!
That’s my update for now …. More to CUM!

Alex

Where do I start?

So much to tell; get comfortable!

I landed in St. John's a couple of hours before Monica so I hit the hotel bar to wait for her. Ordered my first Heineken and consumed many more of these throughout the four days we were there... think I should have shares in the company by now! A couple of men were giving me the creepy eye and tried to make conversation, by the time I ordered my third beer I went out for a smoke and was rescued by some people from New Brunswick who invited me to join them till Monica arrived. Another beer and a shot later Monica arrived! One more beer and off to George St.!

What a place! The stories you've heard are true!! I was in heaven, bars, boys & music! I have never been hit on so much in my life!!! Was called out by one boy who asked my name, gave a fake name of course and he asked if it was my real name or my bar name... Newfies are smart?!?!?!? No points this night but a great night nonetheless.

Night two was another story! Monica did not come to the bar this night but was out for dinner which was excellent. Fresh fish & seafood, it was delic!!

Walking to the bar a boy hit on me, and I have to say he was quite cute! His name was Dave, he is 25 and a soccer player like me which was intriguing... He chatted with me in the bar a bit but disappeared after a 21 yr old that is on his team was working his thing on me. The 21 yr old found out we had not been screeched in at this point to arranged for it to happen at the bar next door.

The 21 yr old continued with us to the many bars we hit was really starting to get annoying but for the sake of the game I sucked it up! Gave him my number and even made out with him in the bar a little. When he started taking his shirt off in the bar I had had enough and started talking to a 60 yr old man at the bar who has his own company distributing wine all over the world... good person to know, no? We're going to call him Gramps.

He and I chatted for the rest of the night, he was really quite sweet. While sitting outside talking we saw the 21 yr old stumble out of the bar and head down the street... bye bye! Gramps and I exchanged contact info and he asked me to have breakfast the next morning. We did meet for breakfast and by the end of the day he had emailed & texted me a few times... uh oh, old stage 5 clinger?!?!?! All for the sake of the game!

Our last night there was a bit of a shit show! Started at a pub around 4:00 in the afternoon with of course, Heineken. A few beers in Mon and I decided it was time for a shot for a little pick-me-up, then, off to George St.!!!!

Went to a jazz bar with live music. On this particular night it was a live one man show who couldn't play anything Monica and I requested; time to go!!!!

Off to karaoke we went! I think Monica might have a problem! :)

This turned out to be a very good night. After many a beer I jumped on stage and totally took the mic away from a woman and belted out Nickelback... this is crazy because I am not a fan of karaoke and I dispise Nickelback! Monica and I went out for a smoke and again, I get hit on! This time by a South African who after speaking to me for 5 mins and watching me in the bar told me that he thinks he is in love with me... what?!?!?!?!? On another smoke break a man just appeared. We have no idea where he came from but was there, we chatted with him for a couple mins and the next thing I know we are swapping spit!?!?!?! I LOVE NFLD !!!!!

That's all I have to say about NFLD. Let's talk about the Brit because that's where my real smiles are coming from these days.

Things are going really well between us and I see this becoming something really great! We haven't spent a lot of time together on weekends, we both have really busy schedules this Summer but we are making up for it during the week!

Toronto this week.....what a week !

I thought it noteworthy (for the official files) to mention a few events in Toronto this week:

1. G20 summit......what a mess! The downtown core is on serious lock-down, forcing many of us to "work" remotely. Hopefully there will only be peaceful protests, but no need to risk losing an SOS'er to politics! (This did inspire the new background, which is temporary, in celebration of the International delegates visiting our city!)


2. Earthquake...hit the city Wednesday afternoon. Epicenter was in Quebec, but the 5.5 rumble rocked Toronto.


3. Tornados....warnings were everywhere after the quake, and a few hit in smaller communities outside of the city. No, we are not in Kansas.


4. SOS Pub Crawl tonight.....ok, maybe not on the same news level as the others but noteworthy for sure!


5. World Cup fever.....the city is filled with flags from around the globe, and after each game there is a neighborhood celebrating......I smell an SOS event coming up; sports bars filled with dudes watching soccer and drinking beer......points, points, points !!

Stay safe, play safe.

Dildo

Is a real place. We had lunch there. End of story.

SOS photo op

Had this little gem sent to me while Chels was on a date......oh how I love my fellow SOS'ers!

Monica

From George Street to SOS Pub Crawl

I've missed you Toronto !

Well, I survived a week away with Brooke, and even managed to grab myself a couple assists. I have been working hard with Beer since my return on a personal mission to break 200 points this week!! He came over Wednesday for some evening recycling, as well as some Thursday morning hanky panky ( a week apart = making up for lost time). He returned again yesterday and I prepared a lovely meal that he cooked on the BBQ, after which we filled a couple travel mugs with wine and waltzed around the neighborhood. Before returning home for some more environmentally friendly work we stopped into a great playground and tested out some of the equipment, briefly considered getting some 'park/public place' points before determining we should save it for later in the summer, since I am already in the lead!

Back to the trip......4 days away with the one and only wild Brooke. I was quickly reminded why I pegged her as a front runner (despite her lackluster performance so far).....was it the NFLD air? The vacation persona? One of life's mysteries I guess. We enjoyed the scenery, and more importantly George Street. For those that have been no explanation is required.....for those who haven't; picture a single block lined with bars, pubs, and clubs, pedestrian traffic only, and some of the friendliest people in the world. Basically SOS heaven. Brooke impressed me with her competitive spirit (and karaoke willingness) as she pulled in some points and I cheered her on.

Tonight I look forward to an SOS Pub Crawl event organized by the lovely Cassie. We will be a few SOS'ers short but we've invited some outsiders who we feel can handle the fun factor....I'm sure there will be some good stories to come!

Ain't that the truth

Know when to walk away, know when to run

Mid-week greetings from Pam.

I hope everyone is thoroughly enjoying the madness that is G20. Other than my brief stint in the click for reasons I won’t and legally can’t get into, I have never seen such a concentration of police in one area. I contemplated getting a little rowdy to see what they’d do with their handcuffs, but considered my permanent record and shut that idea down faster than SOS shuts down an open bar. Besides, 5-0 are Gemma’s thing and not so much mine.

Anyway, the aforementioned potential under-ager (who shall be know as Baby Face going forward) in the last post may be a bit of an exaggeration. Okay so most likely he could get away with one shave a week, but he wasn’t that young. I tried to instill a manly sense of confidence in him by being generous and pegging him at 24, to which he eagerly agreed. Didn’t give him all that much swagger in the end as I had hoped but hey, after a long night out Friday for a birthday party that took us to a few different venues, to say I was a hot mess was an understatement. I wouldn’t really say the phrase beggars can’t be choosers would be applicable here, as I don’t beg. More like you got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. So I held ‘em.

Around 4:30 am I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer and let Baby Face know I was calling him a cab. I knew his “name”, but given my past history in hearing incorrectly and messing them up I was hesitant to use it. Instead I gave the cab dispatcher my name and hoped Baby Face could find his way to the elevator. So clever? No, so transparent. But I slept fine for the next 3.5 hours before my alarm told me it was time to get up again and start a new day.

And just to add a little twist – as any good tryst has – I looked over to my beside table in the morning and started to laugh. What was perched right on top of it, right next to where Baby Face’s water glass was? A prominently displayed baby bootie of course. A friend had recently given it to me as her way of telling me she is expecting (this is a good thing, she's not an SOSer), which I am over the moon delighted about. So I put it there as a nice reminder for whenever I see it. But that on a one-night-stander drunk chick’s beside table is just a red flag of so many shades. So, so many shades.

This week is all business and no pleasure for me, so will check in later on. Unless I change my mind about those handcuffs….

Peacefully yours,

Pamela

Week 10 standings

We're about halfway through regular season and things are really starting to heat up! Here's our recap for Week 10:

• Monica's still on top, but a week away from Beer and some stiff competition from the lower ranks means this lassie may not be our leader for much longer... she's at 175 points


• Pamela isn't going to lie down and take it, at least not when it comes to Monica and Chelsea taking the lead ;-) A late week HR with a *maybe* under age gentleman has her back in second place with 150 points


• Chelsea better watch out, things are looking serious with White Shirt! And while steady recycling with a hot dude is nothing to complain about, the question is - is she ready to be a step mom?! She's at 142 points


• While things are also looking to be headed down the serious route for Brooke and the Brit, what happens in NFLD stays in NFLD? There are some stories here that need to be blogged! Brooke has landed at 102 points for the week (and broke in to the triple digits!!)


• Cassie made the GL work for blowing her off last weekend with an early week recycle. Rest of the week was quiet, so she's at 97 points. Looking forward to picking up the momentum again this week though - Friday night pub crawl here we come!


• While the results of excessive alcohol consumption may have impeded her ability to rack up the points this weekend, Gwen finally reported in on some of her previous trysts to get her to 91 points


• Victoria lived it up this weekend with family - and thankfully had no points to report. She remains at 75 points.
  
• Has Alex found herself a regular recycler? Even though its World Cup time and there are many games to watch on TV, she's managed to get some field time of her own with Mr Hot Spur and is at 51 points
  
• Gemma remains at 21 points, but I am hoping this Becker has some tricks (and points) up her sleeve yet!
  

That's all folks!

p.s. I thought I would post an image that celebrated today's summer solstice with the week's standings... the image selected was #2 when you google images for 'summer solstice'. AWESOME!

BBQ Sundays

G'day mates,

Monday, Monday, Monday......not as fun as Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

What better excuse to have a BBQ party on a Sunday than having an Australian friend visiting this fine city of ours? Highlight of the BBQ was having ALL the SOS'ers together in one spot for the first time! It's pretty difficult herding the kittens together, especially to an environment that is not ideal for scoring new points, but the sisters all came out to make the Australian feel welcome, along with several other friends and family members.

A couple funny Beer moments......

1. Beer meeting my parents, and then being stuck in a long conversation with my mom, who decided to invite him to the next big family event....the Canada Day BBQ.....this was not something I would have subjected him to so early, but he agreed to come, and now has to meet everyone. Not sure this is ideal, I haven't even met anyone in his family, can we say overwhelming? He really is a good sport.....if he was collecting points he'd get a bunch more today- really is a good guy!

2. Me handing my friends baby to Beer to feel how heavy he is, Beer looking at me with fear in his eyes as I push the baby into his hands and he announces he has never held a baby before, but this one feels heavy and could I take him back. Did we mention overwhelming? He is such a good sport about putting up with me, and now my family too!

Last week involved many late nights, and far too many drinks....including Saturday afternoon and evening when Cassie, Chelsea and I took the visitor to Niagara Falls, and most importantly a couple wineries. If you are looking for a great winery to visit, have a bite to eat, and enjoy the view we reccomend Ravine Vineyard; we fell in love with it as soon as we turned into the driveway.

The next couple nights are going to have to be low key, as I prepare for a week's vacation in the East Coast, where I will be joined by Brooke for the second part of it in Newfoundland.....can't wait to see the kind of SOS trouble we can get into out there (by that I mean mostly Brooke with my encouragement!).

Monica

Week 9 standings

It finally happened folks! The Beckers descended upon Monica's backyard yesterday and were in full attendance - what a way to wrap up a stellar week! Here's our recap:

• Monica is still holding on to her lead with a whopping 165 points. She's pulling ahead folks, and here I was thinking Pam had it in the bag!
• Leapfrogging to second place this week, Chelsea-Chelsea Bang-Bang is at 127 points. She is one determined little beaver, recycling with both the councelor and white shirt!
• Pam almost got public washroom points this week... too bad Bitch Tits didn't make the move. Its still a tight race though, she's at 126 points.
• Brooke and Cassie are tied for 4th at 92 points each. Brooke sadly had no points to report as The Brit was away... but Cassie hit it out of the park with Giant Loser earning her a cool 18 points.
• Next up is Gwen, who has had some drama this week, but unfortunately not point worthy. She did manage to sneak in some recycling points before coming down with the plague. This has her landing at 76 points.
• Victoria really pulled one out of the bag this week and got busy with a gentleman caller to take her to 75 points.
• Our little dating machine, Alex, was out with 2 dudes last week, and liked the second one so much she got HR points! Woohoo! She's at 41 points.
• Finally, Gemma earned herself some onbase points with her co-worker. This takes her to 21 points for the week.

Well done ladies! It's been entertaining!

Living up to his name

Cassie here with a quick update for our loyal following.

Giant Loser came over on Wednesday night for dinner and the hockey game. I was all nerves, but thanks to my good friends Monica and alcohol, was able to calm them enough to act mostly normal when he turned up.

We had some great conversation, and it was definitely flirtier than our Sunday date (I went to the movies with GL the day after the mathematician… was not feeling the double header so there wasn’t even on base action that day).

We didn’t end up making it to the second period of the hockey game before we got to fooling around. He’s a great kisser! Fast forward to HR territory and I go to reach for protection.

I WILL WARN YOU THAT THE NEXT BIT OF INFO MIGHT BE IN THE ‘OVER SHARE’ TERRITORY FOR SOME, SO LOOK AWAY NOW IF YOU ARE FAINT OF HEART.

GL proceeds to say rather coyly “I don’t mean to be cocky, but are they large (condoms)?” umm… no regular sized, thank you. “ah well I need large, I have some” and out comes the Large Magnum. Oh dear god. He then struggles to even get that bad boy on. At this point I am a little worried about my little lady friend - I certainly don't want to add her to the injuries list. I have been sitting here trying to figure out how to write the next part without sounding like a porn star with a loose va-jayjay. Let’s just say that after warming up to GL’s large member, it was all good. But the dude lived up to the Giant nickname in more ways than one!

This weekend, however GL earned the second half of his nickname by cancelling on me twice!! I'm going to keep him around for recycling purposes, but keeping one foot firmly out the door. Anyways, I probably had a better time hanging out with the SOS ladies this weekend!

Until next time,
Cassie x
