Hi Girls,
Whew, what a whirlwind weekend...I just got back from the lake and had driven round trip from St. Louis to Chicago and back to see Madonna on Thursday and Friday, so I'm whooped :p
This annual ritual called "Boy's Weekend" at Mark Twain Lake (in Northeastern Missouri) brings together long time (and brand new) male friends for some camping, boating, skiing, drinking, eating, and other assorted embibing. I think this is around our 12th year. It's always been a lot of fun and allows me to get away from the city and the wife and become one with nature... Over the years I've missed a couple and there have been a couple years where it didn't happen at all, but we usually do the "guy thing" at least once a year.
This year was small, only 6 of us (we've had as many as 15 before), so it was manageable and concise. One power boat and a nice Polaris WaveRunner helped entertain us on the water, and this year we ate out instead of doing the whole communal cookout thing at camp. It was much easier just eating out at the local greasy-spoon called "The Junction" Restaurant, instead of slaving over an open-pit wood fire...that very well could become the new tradition. ;)
I'm sharing this story, because I'm not sure what was going on, but I found myself thinking about being away and dressing, rather than living "in the moment" and enjoying the surroundings. This has never happened. I was glad to see that being around 5 other scantily clad males has not raised my desire for an intimate encounter...I'll continue to stick to the soft pretty feminine look and feel of a woman anyday.
I was actually pround of these guys, because they are secure in themselves enough to lather one anothers backs with sunscreen lotion... Mostly sports, cars, and girl talk...with a little business banter thrown in for good measure. I just couldn't help but think how nice it would be to be tanning with a bikini on and completely shaven, but I would quickly be brought back to reality when the Nerf Football would splash water onto me and interrupt my daydream.
It's funny to sit back and listen to them all talk. Everyone has a different direction in life. I was wishing I could tell them all what I really enjoy. They are all men's men, so I just had to be "one-of-the-boys" this weekend. I don't think Madilyn would be welcome at the campsite.
I'm just curious how some of you would feel or react in a similar situation? Do you submit yourself to boy-only events still or have you given up those completely? I've gone to boy's weekend before and not thought about dressing, but this weekend it completely consumed my thoughts...even when the discussion turned to "look at that blue bikini" or "wow, what a rack" I still was thinking "That bikini top would look good on me"...what gives?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I have a weekend out coming up in 3 weeks...
It was nice to be out with the boys, but it's GREAT to be back with the ladies...I missed ya girls, thanks for everything you all so. Have a great week!
Kisses,
Madilyn :cool:
