when I was not looking notanotherblogger tagged me with this book tag. So here goes ( much easier than listing 100 things for a start)

I) I have to look up page 123 in the nearest book
II) Look for the 5th sentence
III) Then post the 3 sentences that follow that 5th sentence on page 123
IV) Then tag 5 people

Ok,

I have a friend, a man, who had a brief affair with a woman who lived on the opposite side of the country. When it ended they stayed in occasional contact, and once, years later, when he was on a business trip in the city where she lived, he decided to look her up. When she answered the phone, she was emotionally shattered; her husband had died of a heart attack two days before.

Now they were very long sentences!
I tag adamantixx, davij, Jacobite, karria and phinebooty

Having just read my 6 messages, I find that 4 were from fellow bloggers. One was a Valentines message, which has made my day
and the other 3 were wondering where I had got to. Okay, 2 of them were from the same person, but nevertheless it is nice to know I was missed.
And it is really nice to be back.

I also received 3 invitations, one of which I have accepted, so hi to Jacobite. I am a little concerned about him actually, as I think i once read a post or comment from him to the effect that he disapproves of adultery

I have been taking a bit of a break from blogging. But now I am back again. Which means I probably have loads to catch up on. Just spotted I have 6 messages as well, so better check them out afterwards.
My long weekend with R was too wonderful for words, and afterwards I felt somewhat berift. That is why I didn't blog for a while. To be so high, and then to come down again always leaves me rather quiet.
I am seeing R again on Thursday night though, and again Sunday morning. And then he goes away for more than 3 weeks to an island in the sun where he has another home. He hasn't been for over a year, so definately needs to visit. And with all that has been going on, he deserves a break. I will miss him like crazy though.
I have definately fallen hard, yet my heart still yearns for Mark as well. Last night I was thinking about him as I lay in bed, and remembering some of our times. I got rather upset at that as well. Maybe it is my hormones Probably I will never see him again though. I cannot visit him in his new home whilst I am with R. I have promised R, no more men, and I know that if I was with Mark, there would be too much temptation, and he can be VERY persuasive

as to anorexia girl, Sienna asked what the status is, and unfortunately I do not know. My daughter told a female teacher of her concerns, who promised to follow up, but as they have just had a weeks half term, I am not sure if she has yet. I will have to ask my daughter.

Moonwoman reckons this is the weekend for romance. Forget Feb 14th, now is the time.
And we all know what i am doing this weekend, so I got the timing perfect 

I feel a song coming on. 

that featured blogs are totally random

tonight this one http://puisicinta.blog.co.uk/
is the number 1 featured blog

and it is all in a language that most of us have no way of understanding

In 68 hours time I will be back in the love nest, for a long weekend of passion, Saturday until Tuesday. The anticipation is sending tingles through my whole body. The text messages and emails are flying.
R is telling me what he will do to me, my whole body is reacting to the thoughts. I so want this, I so need this.
I can barely concentrate on my work, it is indeed like a drug. I need my fix, and am not sure I can bear to wait so long. But wait I must.
I have bought him a little gift for valentines day. It is now wrapped up, and I must keep it hidden from prying eyes for a little longer.
I have also bought a book on erotic massage, for us both to read. A gift for the nest, to keep there, and to practice what we learn
And now, I will try and do some more work, and not to think about what I would much rather be doing.

My 12 year old daughter has a classmate who she suspects is anorexic. The girl always complains of being too fat, even though she weighs aroung 33kilos, so is well underweight. She also apparently has bad teeth and smells of vomit.
Classic signs. I told my daughter to tell a female school teacher, but she doesn't want to be seen as a tell tale, so is reticent to do so.
Last night my daughter called a help line for kids, and was given a website address and the same advice as I gave. The website allowed you to calculate bmi's for kids, as if she needed proof that this girl is underweight, and also linked to some unpleasant pictures of anorexic girls.
I don't know the parents, and can't imagine how they can ignore the signs. The girl denies being anorexic, and I think giving her the website address will not change anything.
I asked R for his advice, and he tells me that many parents are unwilling to face the problem as the child could well be taken out of school and put in a clinic for months, so they don't want that to happen. Apparently at a similar age his daughter was faced with the same problem, told a teacher, and came under lots of pressure from the girl as well as the teachers!
So, anyone been there, done that, got the badge and can give advice?

this was on Confuddleds blog, and she asked us what about for us, so here goes

What is your greatest fear?
that something awful happens to one of my daughters ( rape, death, bad accident, kidnap, etc)

What is your earliest memory?
Hmm, well this is a bit embarrassing. Sitting in my paddling pool in our back yard and a poo popped out And my mum went nuts and spanked me for it, and put the pool away

Aside from property what is the most expensive thing you bought?
Nothing as exciting as Confuddleds, I reckon it must be the car.

What would your super power be?
I would like to be able to understand every language, and be able to speak every language. That would be so wonderful.

If you could edit your past, what would you change?
Heavy question, indeed. I have often thought about this. If I could go back to being 20 knowing then what I know now, would I change things? I think I would have had more lovers, and experienced more of life before choosing who to spend the rest of my life with

Have you ever said "I love you" and not meant it?
No

What is the closest you've come to death?
Walking home from school one day at a narrow corner, a lorry came bearing down on me, and would have hit me. I had frozen to the spot but my brother pulled me out of the way

How would you like to be remembered?
As a positive person who got on with life.

What is the most important lesson life has taught you to date?
Every experience can be used to help me grow as a person, and that things will always work out

Using the mentally disabled as suicide bombers. Just how low can these terrorists sink? It makes me so angry

Just been reading about the terrible weather hitting the UK at present. Esspee picked the wrong time to travel north. He seems to get all the bad luck at the moment!

R mentioned to me last night he was still looking for my blog
and that maybe he will try searching for sidestep.

he is getting warm

So darling, if you do find it, welcome, I am not going to stop you reading it, you know me pretty well anyway

well, the nominations are in, and I didn't get a single nomination
I must admit I am a bit disappointed.
To be honest the same people seemed to get nominated for several categories, which is nice for them, but excludes a lot of other bloggers.
And hardly any of my nominees are there, so it must be on number of nominations received that they get chosen, and I must have weird taste

Now I need to decide who gets my vote. Nick is there in just about every category , so I am sure I will vote for him in one or the other, and it will be hard to choose between Jack and Kevin for the funniest blogger, I think they are both great
There are some blogs I haven't seen, so I will need to check them out, and I am looking forward to checking out the off site websites, although Facebook will not be getting my vote,

last night we did indeed manage to meet, I slipped out of the seminar 30 mins early, we met at the station, and we had 2 hours in the nest.
2 hours is long enough, and we were both very hot with the anticipation of the day.
So I can really recommend that all serious lovers have a place just for them. Ok, it may be a hassle finding a place, and a bit expensive furnishing it - although you don't need much more than a bed And it is a form of committment.
But once it is there, it is a wonderful retreat. We are now able to meet spontaneously without the expense of a hotel room, and even if it is just 2 hours, it is better than not at all.
And next week, we meet on Saturday, and stay until Tuesday at the nest. Now that will be amazing

And all this regular sex is making me feel so healthy, I wonder if I can claim the nest rent from my health insurance
