MOOD BOARD

 

I have to say, with the freelance projects picking up in the process, working for my friend in between at his floral shop, and the volunteer work continuing at the BSASPCA...with not working my old job anymore, and even during the pandemic when I was stuck home, it is amazing how quick the weekends will go by. It's like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday , Friday, I blinked, Monday again.  It was definitely another busy end of week and weekend. It's amazing how much of a shock to the system it is getting back into a groove. One reason why I kept up with a exercise regime during the quarantine and running at the lake. Had a nice run with the Lumbersexual, before heading back to the ancestral home once again. And he kept up. But for those wondering if there was a slap and tickle of towel in a shower scene afterwards, or after our run we emptied our water bottles all over each other, rubbing and jiarating our manhood on the others thigh, snapping each others jock straps.... pawing and kissing all over each other... ripping our shorts off.... ....alas...no. Where was I??? Oh!  The good news is on Tuesday I go to the mother's rehab for my second jab of the vaccine. Then wait out the fourteen days. A reunion with the Lad is already on the books!!!! That should knock the wind out of my sex sails! Who knows, I may even return after that work out!! I noticed this weekend that everywhere I was, everyone was still staying masked in and outside. The Mistress had a lovely private tour of a mansion in Hershey and  dinner with the Capital Street duo, outdoors at a new hip place, and seemed the majority were still wearing masks, even while walking down the streets. Felt good to enjoy a meal out.  Most places are voluntary keeping mask guidelines. But people wearing them outdoors had me in shock. I still am, but I think it just habit for me. Funny, it seemed like it took well over a year to get people to wearing them... now that we don't, seems no one is taking them off. I found it rather surprising. But then no one ever said humans were the brightest. I just enjoyed the spring.

I don't know any of you ever experienced a Fleet Week in New York, but it's very fun and lively....the Village is most certainly alive with the sound of music.... but it will seem odd to have another year without being in New York to welcome in the sea men.

  2. That photo of Killian Belliard in his drawers put me in a mood!
    We get Prick #2 on Friday and already have plans to go visit our friends Neal and David in North Carolina in June. It's been nearly a year since we've seen them!
    And I'll be masking inside for the next couple of months, no matter what, and outside if in a crowd. I take no chances.

  3. No mask outside, only if it's not crowded. Still masked inside, any place.

  4. These are beautiful, Mads! Pretty flowers and colorful birdies, nice. I will continue to wear my mask whenever I go anywhere. I don't want to be confused with those who haven't been vaccinated, but I figure most of them will not be wearing masks. Spring is already working on my last nerve with trying to get me to upchuck a lung or two. I don't need any residue covid germs in the mix. I think that I want a personalized mask imprinted with the words "I Got the Johnson" to advertise that I'm not an anitvaxxer, I just got a weaker shot.

    1. Your too funny Deedles! I got the Johnson could imply you just had another Johnson of sorts.

      I'm just glad us "mature" ladies of age came out the other side of this .

    2. It will seem odd to stop wearing a mask...get those lips back in tip top form and break out the red lipstick and gloss honeys!!!!!!

  5. TBH, with the amount of skanky people around even pre-pandemic, I think mask-wearing will remain habitual for quite some time yet. Not forgetting, of course, that even though we've had our two pricks (oo-er), we can still be carriers. Jx

    PS cock-a-too and cocktails - what's not to like?!

  6. Where's the Village People "In the Navy" video to go with Fleet Week?

    That round window with the magnolia looked very Parisian to me.

  10. So many pretty things and such a wonderful imagination. Keep running, but not to fast, maybe you will be caught.

  11. Welcome to my world. Can't figure how it is that I'm retired, with little to do, and every week "It's like Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday , Friday, I blinked, Monday again".

  12. I will say too without working how quickly the weeks go by, I thought time would drag. Now Im just starting to get back into job searching again. Feels like a safe time now to do so. These picture are certainly pretty. Fleet week?!?! Would you believe I've never been?

  13. We had one of our first live, and limited audiences this weekend. It felt great! I too notived many seeing even wearing masks outside on the streets. I get my second dose tomorrow. Maybe we can tend to each other if we have side affects, lol!

    This cat and mouse game is very catching.....I'm enjoying it. And I need that car in the first picture.

  14. Are you sure you and Lumbersexual didn't have this scenario? Its very vivid. Gave me all kinds of naughty thoughts. And you do realize we will need a video of you and the Lad being "reunited"?

  15. I see-men everywhere!

    I love the old-time cocktail shakers (the women). I'm sure they were very carefully instructed (and restricted) to do minimal shaking of their bodies. Now, they'd be shaking their booty for all they're worth. (I would, too.) A whole lot of shakin goin on.

    1. You should never shake a cock-a-tail to much...it bruises the ice.

  16. Spring is bustin' out all over up your way! And those sailors *sigh* look VERY springy.

  17. I still run into maskholes in my apartment complex, but today is a special day. It's the last time I'll ever do laundry in this place, and yes I ran into a maskhole in the laundry room. I'm taking my bath towels with me to the new place tomorrow and washing them there.

    Also, people where I'm moving to mask up. Gee, no wonder the positive test rate there is also so much lower.

  20. Your mood board is very cheerful this week -- who doesn't like blooms, blue parrots, Myrna Loy, cocktails and a man in uniform? Looks like the two women wearing industrial strength gloves are using liquid nitrogen in their shakers. Be careful Mistress Maddie, that stuff can break off appendages, LOL!

    1. We here at the Casa du Borghese strongly recommend the wearing of gloves for not only cock-a-tail shaking but other various activities.

  21. Yes, many are still wearing masks, and I doubt many of those who are not haven't been vaccinated, and most likely Republicans who evidently like to gamble with their lives.

  22. Oh I love this set of pictures! Those men are no doubt your houseboys? Fleet week? I have always wanted to go to a fleet week ever since I saw that one episode of Sex and the City.

  23. Now don't forget...when you and the Lad have sex make sure to angle the cam on center this time! You guys won't leave the bed for days! And Fleet Week!!!!!! YES!

  24. No Monday blues ? I think you may have had a little too much fresh air over the weekend.

  25. Ahhhh, these are such pretty photos. I just love them. Spring temps have arrived here, but not beautiful flowers just yet, my garden is about half awaken. But the trees along the canals are stunning, and almost done.

  26. Can I have that car, please?
    Yep, I think masks are staying for the foreseeable, suits me.

  27. Your board certainly sets the mood. It has everything: cars, flowers, men, alcohol, men, alcohol.

    I’m with you and do many of your intelligent, ever so charming followers. The mask is here for quite awhile, yet. Got my second shot yesterday. Thirteen days and counting. But the mask stays.
