Finally I’m ready to announce the winner of my $50 Love Card giveaway from Eden Fantasys. I am so happy I get to work with them and even happier I’m introducing a new customer!

With six entries, I plugged 1-6 into Random.org (I would take a screen shot but on my Mac, I don’t know how).

I had two entries from Ewokmama, one from SaraMD, two from Jessie and one from Cabana Boy … and they were numbered in that order … 1 2, 3, 4 5 and 6.

The number that came up?

2

This meant that @Ewokmama is my lucky winner!!!!

Ewokmama, please contact me at Sarahndipitea at gmail DOT com with contact information appropriate to share with Eden Fantasys!

Thanks to everyone for participating!

I had my first panic attack in months on Sunday night. It was a typical Sarah-panic attack; freezing cold body, sweating from every pore, throwing up, crying, shaking, not being able to breathe, and feeling like I was going crazy. It was a typical Sarah-panic attack except for the fact that TheMister was there with me. He held me, he soothed me, he told me that it was okay and that I’d be okay, he was there in every sense of the word. I am so thankful to have this man in my life. The past six months have been amazing, @Obfuscius; I love you.

I still like coffee.

My panic attack coincided with the first day of real teaching with my new job. Everything went fine, and honestly the panic wasn’t worth it, but OHMIGAWD there are professionals out there who are trusting that I know what I’m doing. This is important people. IM. POR. TANT! Then, on top of that, there are eight high school girls who LIKE coming to see me (so far). They get to spend two hours a week with  me learning science stuff (to teach to grade school kiddos) and they are EXCITED about that. To me? That is EX. CITE. ING! too!

The new birth control I’m on (Micronor) is not for me. That is all.

People all around me are falling apart emotionally and for once, I’ve been able to be like “hrm, I’m feeling good again” and that’s both good and bad for me. I want to be able to help, but since I’m able to soak up moods so easily, I haven’t been feeling like being around them, which doesn’t help make them feel better. It’s a strange situation to be in. I don’t particularly like to avoid my friends when they need me, but sometimes I just have to to protect my own sanity in stressful times.

The San Francisco Tuesday noon-siren still catches me off guard every time I hear it.

TheMister’s Christmas gift is still sitting half-finished on my dresser. I got him an old-school map of the city (I’m in love with a map-geek) and I need to have it framed. Yeah, I should do that sooner rather than later – since uhm it’ll be two months late by the time I get it back. Go me. Maybe I’ll do that next Monday. Add it to the list.

Speaking of list, my work list is not shrinking while I’m blogging. Why?

PS – Oh, and the $50 Eden Fantasys give-away? I have a winner. I’ll post that this evening!!!

sleepless in san francisco

February 2, 2010 3 comments

for the second night in a row, I am sleepless

it’s ultimately frustrating because for the second morning in a row, tomorrow I will drive to Oakland for my CHORI job … after a night of not quite enough sleep

my left eye has started to twitch – always a sign I’m not quite myself – always a signal that I need more sleep – always a sign I have to find my outlet again – always a sign that there’s too much on my brain I’m not letting out

my body has been overly achey lately, my mind has been racing too quickly, my heart aches for some people in my life, my soul has faith that things will even out eventually

I have a list of “to do’s” that include some anxiety-producing tasks on it – I will tackle them one at a time, but until then the list stares at me even, no, especially when my eyes are closed and I’m trying to shut down

it’s no one’s fault but my own, and even as frustrated as I am right now, it’s a) not that late, b) not that big of a deal to be tired tomorrow, c) the list will be taken care of as it ultimately needs to be, d) I can handle this and e) when I can’t handle it, I have a skeleton crew who is there to support me

so I take a deep breath, clear my mind and remind myself that tomorrow is nothing more than Wednesday

Win a $50 LoveCard from Eden Fantasys!

January 29, 2010 10 comments

With Valentine’s Day coming (pun only slight intended) around the corner, I’m joining with the fantastic Eden Fantasys to help you celebrate the Hallmark holiday. Even though I’m not a fan of the commercialization of love, I figure that with the help of this fantastic company, I can add a bit of fun to your life.

In the past, I’ve reviewed a few of their vibrators, including the Clitapatra Twister, the Satisfy-her and the Sweetheart-G, two thirds of which have been quite rewarding for me. Do any of those vibrators sound like something you could use? What about a dildo, an erotic movie or a even a couples sex toy?

Want to win a $50 LoveCard from Eden Fantasys? (Of course you do!)

  1. For one entry: Leave me a comment sharing your most amusing story surrounding sex or sexuality. Did you walk in on your parents just last week? Did the condom slip off and shoot across the room? Have you ever broken your penis? (okay, so that’s not quite amusing but I might still giggle)
  2. For a second entry: Tweet about this contest (leave your specific Tweet address in the comments section)
  3. For a third entry: Blog about this on your own blog (leave the link in the comments section)

Additional notes:

  • must be 18 to enter
  • unfortunately not valid for my international readers
  • contest not valid for family members (uhm, ick, seriously)
  • contest begins immediately and ends Friday, February 5, 2010 at midnight
  • the winner will be chosen by Random.org
  • winner’s contact information (email) will be shared with my contact at Eden Fantasys; be sure I have a way to contact you!

uhm, yeah

I like this format. It works for me when I have too much to say and am lacking the capacity to organize it.

  • I got iMail to work. It’s importing my Gmail account and my WEGO Health work account. There are 11,000+ emails to import. I talk a lot. I work a lot. I talk about work a lot.
  • I was born eight pounds half-an-ounce. I know you were curious.
  • I love my new job. LOVE it. Love what I’m doing, how I get to do it and where I could go with it. That being said, I hate not having benefits or PTO stuff. This could change if we’re given another SEPA grant but I won’t know about that for a while.
  • I am considered a bonafide public health educator now. By professionals. (By professionals outside of WEGO Health who have known my public health educator-ness for a while now.) This? EXCITING!
  • I think I want to go to graduate school … still … for public health … in the future. Eventually.
  • I (I, I, I, I, I!) still haven’t imported even a third of my music to the MacBook (lovingly named Gretel by my cousin Jessa) but I have a jump drive to do that now. Let’s hope I can get the Dell to turn on.
  • I am not as motivated to work right now as I should be. That’s why I’m blogging.
  • I love coffee entirely too much.
  • I get to celebrate TheMister’s birthday next Wednesday. The stuff for his gift is sitting on my desk (he’s seen it and didn’t even know!) but I have to find the time to put it together … that’s hard when I want to be with HIM.
  • I had to switch birth control pills two weeks ago. I am not particularly pleased with that but know it’s for my health and I’m okay with that. I’m just not functioning the same without some added estrogen in my system; I cry a lot and it sucks to have PMS again. I’d rather not have a stroke though.
  • I should get back to work, eh?

run-ons

  • There are two open diet Coke’s on my desk;
  • yeah I own a desk now.
  • It’s covered in stuff already -
  • like a fern that TheMister’s mom gave me,
  • and a new MacBook,
  • because my Dell PC died
  • and I can’t work without my own computer.
  • TheMister generously helped me “finance” a new laptop purchase
  • and I can’t be more thankful.
  • I feel like I’ve been working my butt off,
  • but my butt is still the same size,
  • and my toes are frozen
  • because of the weird storm system in California.
  • Which reminds me
  • Californians get so nervous driving in the rain,
  • it cracks me up
  • but it also frightens me a bit.
  • I have a hard time telling the difference between the heater and the shower
  • when both are on in my flat.
  • Either way, this place is freezing right now.
  • Oh, yeah, my flat?
  • It has a water leak
  • because of the weird wet windy storm system in California
  • so our dining room chandelier is dripping into a pot
  • surrounded by towels.
  • I thought I left the House O’Crackah.
  • Both jobs are going well,
  • but I am definitely dealing with an adjustment period
  • and am seriously wondering:
  • “how did I ever successfully work 60 hours a week?”
  • because back at 40 hours a week,
  • I’m totally exhausted.
  • Life with @Obfuscius continues to be amazing.
  • When I’m stressed,
  • he listens to me.
  • When I’m freaked out about the thunder
  • because of the weird wet windy thundering and lightening storm system in California,
  • he offers to hold me.
  • When I’m too busy to play games,
  • he goes to @Ewokmama & @WhoIsDaveT’s house with my spirit,
  • while I sit in front of my new MacBook and write about health stuff.
  • He also keeps an eye on my Farmville when I’m working,
  • so that I don’t get disrupted by my spoiling crops.
  • He’s my one.
  • I found a bunch of CDs that I made between 2003 and 2006.
  • Some of them are hysterically funny.
  • Some of them are insanely sad.
  • I was a tortured soul there for a while.
  • Speaking of torture,
  • my stomach is growling.
  • It’s 8pm and
  • my work here is done.

A Review: Eden Fantasys’ Sweetheart G

January 18, 2010 3 comments

A while back Eden Fantasys sent me a Sweetheart G “G-spot massager,” and I’ve held off on posting the review because I was sorely disappointed in the product. @DrewG78 and Cecily, both employees of Eden Fantasys (maker of fantastic sex toys) encouraged me to share the review anyway; honesty is the best policy, right? Here goes!

The Pros:

  • It’s pretty. Kinda. It’s red, with little hearts on it. Or maybe it’s creepy and that’s a pro.
  • It’s large. This could be a con for some women, but it works for me.
  • It’s curved to hit your G-spot.
  • It’s phthalate free and hypoallergenic – it’s healthy. Gets a “6″ on the safety rating.

The Cons:

  • Although it’s listed as “100% high quality silicone,” I swear that this thing is made of jelly. It bends … right as you find your G-spot with it, it bends.
  • I don’t need a lot of vibration to get the job done, but the “three speeds of incredibly vibration” did nothing for me. I tried two different brands of batteries thinking that was the deal and still, nope.
  • It doesn’t work now. I used it three times thinking I could make it work for me … now it just doesn’t work at all.

Reading the customer comments on the Sweetheart G G-spot vibrator on the Eden Fantasys website, I see that I’m not the only woman to be disappointed with this sex toy. Instead of buying the Sweetheart G, I would recommend you go with the Clitapatra Twister, instead. (Remember my review of the amazing Clitapatra Twister?)

Eden Fantasys offers every type of sex toy a woman could want. You could spend hours looking through their selection of glass sex toys, the choices on sex toy storage or even their erotic fiction reading lists. Whatever your sex toy needs, Eden Fantasys can satisfy.

Want to buy your own Eden Fantasys toy?

Keep an eye on my blog for a contest where a lucky winner will choose a product to play with!

**Dear FTC, Eden Fantasys gave me this vibrator in exchange for a review … they did not pay me to say it couldn’t get me off. Love, Sarah**

it’s aliiiiiiive!

I realized yesterday that it has been a week since I blogged. Uhm, hi. *waves* I’m not dead and @Obfuscius hasn’t locked me in his closet (which would be a feat because the “doors” are a pretty shower curtain) but I’m oh my gosh living my life and haven’t taken the time to hang out here.

I do have some blogging goals to attack this week though:

  • update/check-in on my 110 in 2010 list
  • write about my recent medical issues
  • talk about how amazingly fantastic my boyfriend is
  • share my new job stuff with ya’ll

So yeah, I’ll come back after I get this presentation done and start in on things. Until then, know I’m not dead; I’m just really busy making out with the man o’my life.
