GO FOR IT

ONLY 41 days left until the ESPRIT gala! Do you have YOUR tickets yet?

Wellllll...Why NOT?

CONGRATS, Demi!!


**SIGH** I went and stopped by Demi's place tonight. I definitely want to say CONGRATULATIONS, GIRL!!

But, I think I am rather envious. To be able to not work, to dress up when you want, to spend time with those you love; Seems like a far away dream for me.

Having an ex to support, aging parents to care for and a special someone that I want to be with more than anything necessitates Money.

Money Equals Job.

Job equals ten to twelve hour days alone.

And no time with my sweetheart...which means no time relaxing. Because I can only be Sharon when I am with Jay.

I'm not asking for sympathy at all. I am SO GLAD for Demi! And I am grateful for Jay...because as little as a year ago, I didn't even have THAT chance to escape. Some of our adventures were only fantasy until I met Jay. I'd never dreamed I would actually, REALLY go out; much less in a crowd in a backless dress. Or stay at a hotel with Jay, have dinner, listen to jazz in a nightclub...

Hmmm, come to think of it, I guess I'm not so envious after all. Lovin' you, Baby!

Hiyiyi heels!

Was just checking in with some of my friends and read this post byMisty mentioning walking in high heels.
WOW, do I know where you are comin' from, girl!?!
I consider myself to be in fairly good shape as I have a very physical "male" job (ok, except for the little gut) but it never fails to amaze me how painful heels can get after just an hour or two.
Jay found this fabulous little shop in a nearby city. Second hand store, really. But they are VERY T.V. friendly. In fact, when the proprietor found out what Jay was looking for (and decided that she was "for real") she called into the back and out came a very handsome TV. Older lady, had her own hair grown long. But she proceeded to give Jay "the TV tour" of the place. Corsets, wigs, dresses galore! And the HOTTEST pair of four-inch black and red heels...in just my size. One of the straps was damaged so Jay got them for a song...and of course, I fixed that strap right up in no time flat.
THEN...I tried the things on! I've never been in heels that high. Darn near got a nose bleed. And came very close to snapping my ankle a time or two. But it was an experience. I've been practicing.

And Jay says they make my legs look VERY hawt!

I think she's biased...just a little.

Request for Feedback...

Can anyone can give me some feedback on the COGIATI test I found online.
It stands for the COMBINED GENDER IDENTITY AND TRANSSEXUALITY INVENTORY.
Actually discovered it several years ago and have taken it numerous times, but since I met Jay...I've gotten some different results. "strongly suggesting consideration of Gender reassignment and counseling".
The thing is that Jay took it too. Even though this test is strictly for MTF, she just flip-flopped and read the questions with reverse genders. And her score was very close to mine.
Of course, we've always suspected she had strong male tendencies.

Have you taken this test? Have you found it true for you? Have you heard anything about it?
