Is NYC Ready For Catalina? Is Catalina Ready for NYC?

Whew!  What a day.  It started off with some asshat posting a comment on my HNT today that I look like a man.  Really?  I think sometimes people have no manners and/or their parents never taught them the Golden Rule.  Either way, I think mean people suck.  That’s okay - all the positive comments people left more than made up for it, John said I look hot, and Lochai said he liked the set.

I’m unbelievably excited to go to NYC next month.  Thanks to Mr. Johnson!!  I’ll be leaving Charlotte on Nov 13th and returning on Nov 16th to be in NYC for the Sex Blogger Calendar Launch Party.  You should pre-order your calendar, because I have a feeling they are going to sell out.   I’m giddy like a kid who finds out they are going to Disneyland.  I’ve never been to NYC before, so it’s an adventure in and of itself, and then to meet these amazing people - men and women - is over the top unbelievably cool.  Tess and Diva invited me to snuggle up between them in bed at the W one night, and I’m looking forward to that!!  Who wouldn’t?  Hot, sexy, and brainy = I’m in bloggerlove.  I do hope to get together with some other people while I’m there - I’ve talked to a few other people who aren’t involved in the calendar project that I’m going to make it a point to meet.  Expect at least a week’s worth of blogs and pictures from the adventure!  It’s just over a month away, it’s going to drive me insane!

Other things coming up I plan to attend:  Frolicon and Sex 2.0.   I would love to go to ShibariCon, but I just don’t see how it’s going to happen.  Frolicon is the weekend before Sex 2.0 and Sex 2.0 is the weekend of my wedding anniversary.  It won’t be the first time we can’t celebrate on the proper day - when I worked in a boarding school I was on duty the entire weekend of our second anniversary.  We’ll just celebrate another day.  Anybody else going?  It would be nice to connect.

Don’t forget to check out the Week In Kink - it just published on TheWeekInKink.com.  There are some new blogs in there, some really hot posts, and a lot of HNT (who doesn’t love HNT?!)  I bet you you’ll find something in there that tickles your fancy!  If you’d like to submit your favorite kinky post of the week (it doesn’t have to come from your blog, just something you liked, even) then please email me.  My email hasn’t changed since the beginning of time:  catalinaloves@gmail.com.

This has to be a short post - it’s been a long day and I’m tired!!  I’m thinking it’s time to get off and go to sleep.  I ran 3.5 miles today, which is the farthest I’ve ever run at once.  Tomorrow I’m going to run 3.6 miles.  I’m an overachiever - I set a goal and I always have to go past it.  Like this size 6 goal - I achieved it and now I want to be a size 4.  I swear to all the Gods that are reading sex blogs, I will be a size 4 when I hit NYC!  More yoga.  More running.  I have lost another 5 lbs., so I’m excited about those results.  The closer I get to my goal (119 lbs.,) the more difficult it is to lose one single pound!  When I reach 119, I will have lost 151 lbs. That’s fucking impressive! I have to say that it was really cool that one of the parents of a student I used to teach didn’t even recognize me.

It was a really good way to release some tension and stress and focus on the task at hand - my work for Fetlife.  I consider it my primary job more and more every day.  I don’t want to give up writing and doing promos, but Fetlife is clearly my primary job (buy an ad!)

I got a really neat note in my Fetlife.com inbox today from a (cute redheaded) guy who said, “…it was helpful to read your experiences as a bit of motivation, and to see that you DO look great after the weight loss.”  That’s kind of cool.  I’m glad to read that!  It motivates me even more, too.  Symbiosis.

Oh, if you’re curious, I uploaded new images to Fetlife.com - if you’re a member you can see them - a little preview from the nudes I shot with Nikki yesterday.   If you do join, please make friends and say hi.  I’m a really friendly person - don’t be scared :)

Night night - Chris Martin is going to serenade me to sleep with Lovers in Japan and Reign of Love.  If you still have not bought or downloaded Viva la Vida, then do it.  It is such an amazing album! (yawn)
