New lovers are so much fun aren't they? Kitty especially loves new vanilla lovers who have no idea what to expect from Kitty and then realize that you can't judge this particular book by it's cover.
The best part of this new vanilla lover of Kitty's is that he is under no pressure to perform for me. If he doesn't go down on Kitty, I can always count on Surfer Dude...or at least I hope I can. That velvet tongue devil! Esq is always good for a good pounding from behind and let's not forget about the threesome and potential threesomes to come with Sidekick.
Kitty even loves that this new lover has another girlfriend that he is hiding Kitty from. In other words Kitty knows about her but she does not know about Kitty. I wonder if she realizes how hard Kitty makes her boyfriend's cock! I wonder if he cries out when he cums...IF he cums when he is with her. According to him he's not been interested in sex for a while. I'm confident I've changed all that for him. At least he's plenty interested in sex with Kitty. I have to say he really is quite a competent lover. He is very warm and gentle. After we both cum we lay in his bed and fall asleep. It's really very sweet and quite different from the "fuck me and leave" sessions that I have with the others. But let's face it, without the others Kitty would be bored. Afterall, as I always say "Variety is the spice of life."

New Lovers
His cock gets as hard as an 18 year old boy yet he is 14 years my senior. He moans as Kitty gently takes the head of his cock into my mouth. I run my tongue around it enjoying the sweet and salty taste of his precum. I take in more of his cock. He rests his hands gently on my head letting me know not to stop. His breath quickens and I move up to his face. He begins kissing me feverishly...passionately. He pulls me on top of him. His cock slides into me very easily almost like the missing piece of a puzzle. I feel those sensations. My pussy is wet. I am riding his cock. He is looking me straight in the eyes. "This feels good," I tell him.
He closes his eyes briefly then opens them and says, "I love watching you."
I think to myself, "I love that you love watching me."

I've Missed You Man
Kitty has been quite a busy Kitty lately…and quite naughty thereby living up to my name. Among other things Kitty has met a vanilla boyfriend. I call him "I've missed you man". You see Kitty has known IMYM for years. We pray together but IMYM is painfully shy. The others at our place of worship would tease Kitty because I would say hello to IMYM and he would disappear for months. One day this past fall IMYM decided to approach Kitty at the social hour after services. Not to sound conceited or anything but Kitty is quite popular among our group as I am one of the few single women under the age of 85 so when IMYM came up to me it seemed like everything else stopped. And that night after IMYM left all the 80 and over women gathered in the kitchen for a little hen chat.
I'd see IMYM at services every so often and we would chat just a little. He would blush the entire time and then disappear for weeks. Over the winter there was a break since the weather can get harsh here and we are dealing with quite a few senior citizens. OH!! Did I mention that IMYM is 64?!?!?! No worries though. The other women assured me that men that age can still "get it up". WHEW!!
So a few weeks into the spring we are all back to praying in our regular sanctuary still getting over the loss of a few of our beloved congregants. After a few weeks IMYM comes up to Kitty and tells Kitty to wait because he has something for me. OH SHOOT!!! I forgot to mention that IMYM's birthday was in December and Kitty gave him a card and a little bag of candy as a token. Kitty's birthday is in March so I suspected that he was going to repay the favor although I had no idea how he would know when my birthday was.
So IMYM left the sanctuary and returned with the most beautiful purple envelope covered with pictures of butterflies. He went into an entire explanation about giving me the card and having it but not seeing me yadda yadda. Then Kitty's teenage daughter came out into the hall where IMYM asked me to meet him and IMYM completely lost his somewhat shaky composure.
In the car Kitty read the card and it said, "I've missed you and I hope you have a wonderful Mother's day". Now isn't that just the sweetest thing you've ever heard?!?!?!?!
Unfortunately IMYM did not leave any contact information. Kitty used her connections to get his email address and a beautiful somewhat fucked up vanilla relationship has formed.
You see IMYM is kind of a down on your luck kind of guy. He is semi retired but never put any money away for retirement so it seems like he lives on social security or disability and a little part time job he has. Not that Kitty is a snob or anything but I am quite motivated professionally so while
I adore IMYM, I know right away that I will never be monogamous with him.
So Kitty and IMYM went out on a traditional dinner date last week. It was nice. IMYM has made great strides in coming out of his shell over the past few days. We had a nice conversation at dinner then walked to the beach and talked there. Then Kitty drove IMYM home because he doesn't have a car…I know…I know!!!
The thing about IMYM is that even though there is an age difference between us it is very subtle and does not hinder our conversation. For example on the way back to his place he said, "Do you like Woody Allen?" and Kitty said, "of course!" then IMYM went into how in "Annie Hall" they get the kiss over with at the beginning of the date to get past the awkwardness. This surprised Kitty somewhat since I was kind of thought maybe he was gay and/or just wanted to be friends. But Kitty being Kitty went with the flow and kissed IMYM. I have to say the kiss itself was just okay. IMYM's moustache seemed to get in the way but I could see there was potential so Kitty went with it.
A few days later IMYM and Kitty met up at our sanctuary at the social hour. IMYM blushed the entire time of course but we kept things pretty vanilla in front of the other congregants. I did take him home that night. We were chatting and he mentioned that he left his cell phone at work. Kitty made a joke about hoping no one sees his sexting and he said, "Something like that". This intrigued Kitty.
Kitty texted IMYM later that night and asked if he'd like to meet me Wednesday for dinner. He agreed and texted, "I hope Wednesday comes quickly." See…those little things warm Kitty's little Grinch heart.
I couldn't stop thinking about IMYM's comment about the sexting. There is obviously more to him and Kitty wants to get to the bottom of it. The next night Kitty decided to blow off chores and asked IMYM what he was up to. We decided to park and just chat for a while. We began kissing and talking about sex. It turns out IMYM is into porn. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get it out of him. That's what the sexting comment was about. He was afraid someone at work would see his history on his phone. He likes lesbian porn. When he was telling Kitty this Kitty was grinning from ear to ear. He was confessing like I was a priest and I think he was pretty surprised by my reaction which was,"yeah you and every other man in the world like to watch women have sex with one another. Don't sweat it!"
IMYM admitted to Kitty that he doesn't much enjoy sex. He says he feels "inadequate" whatever that means. Then talk about mixed messages…he invites Kitty in after some pretty intense kissing. IMYM fortunately trimmed his moustache so the kissing was much better and made Kitty quite wet so yes of course I went inside with him!!!
We lay on his bed in the tiny apartment that he shares with 2 other men. Quite a sketchy bunch but let's face it, Kitty is not one to judge. It did not take long before IMYM began to undress Kitty. So much for not enjoying sex!! When Kitty undressed IMYM I exposed a nice sized hard as a rock cock. VERY NICE. Kitty rubbed it just a little and IMYM pulled Kitty on top of him. Just the way Kitty likes it. Kitty rode IMYM's nice cock until he came which did not take long but Kitty thought it was a nice start.
A few days later…a little more of the same…so you see IMYM is becoming a nice little vanilla fuck buddy for Kitty. Surprisingly enough though IMYM has another woman that he sees. Apparently she is more down on her luck as well. She is Vietnamese, jobless with a gambling problem and oh yeah! She's possessive of IMYM not to mention the fact that she has other boyfriends. What a fucking mess!!!
When IMYM told me about her again I think he was surprised by my reaction or "non" reaction. Sure, why shouldn't IMYM continue to see his Asian girlfriend? Kitty is not threatened and of course Kitty has her own bag of tricks.
So last night when Esq. texted and asked if I'd be around just one night after fucking IMYM for the second time Kitty jumped right on it. Esq. has a Kitty's blogging bestie points out has turned into quite the diamond in the rough. He is not the best at oral and he is kind of a pain in the ass with his last minute invitations but in the end Esq. has the greatest hardest cock and when he fucks Kitty from behind it is pure bliss.
So last night while Esq. was fucking me hard from behind while reaching around and rubbing my clit as I cried out in ecstasy all I could think was "oh what a lucky little kitty I am".

Back By Popular Command
Kitty is back! Kitty is back! Well…sort of. Kitty has had quite a few men asking when I will be back. Actually I never really left. I just lacked inspiration. That's not to say that Kitty hasn't been playing. Kitty had a pretty hot play date just yesterday. My sweet, wonderful Surfer Dude kidnapped Kitty for the day. We spent the entire day in bed fucking for hours. It was wonderful and relaxing to say the least. That man has ruined Kitty with that velvet tongue of his. Nobody can make Kitty cum with their tongue like he can. I believe at one point in the midst of one of my many orgasms Kitty confessed this to him.
On a separate note today was an absolutely shitty day at work. Kitty never has bad days at work. This is the first in several years. To make matters worse Kitty received texts from several former playmates. I call them former playmates because after the day I had I'm in no mood to put up with their nonsense. Kitty doesn't ask for much from my playmates but I think as a result some of them lack respect for Kitty.
Take T-Bone for example. He's going through some shit at home. Kitty won't get into it but I've been a good friend to him even offering to let him stay with me while he gets his shit together. Today he texted me while I was at work and starts telling me about this new chick he is dating. Then he starts sending me pictures of her. Kitty doesn't want to hear or see that shit! Kitty knows my playmates have other women. Let's face it, Kitty is not exclusive but hearing about other women is not a turn on for Kitty especially in light of the fact that T-Bone makes promise after promise to keep in touch with Kitty and the only time I hear from him is when he wants something. So T-Bone, if you happen to be reading this please don't text or call me anymore. Kitty isn't your doormat.
While we are on the subject of pet peeves, something else has been pissing Kitty off. It seems certain men, namely Ebony posts all this lovey dovey shit on facebook about his wife and how she is the "love of my life" then that bastard starts texting Kitty to try to hook up. Again, I know these guys love their wives. Kitty realizes my purpose is to get them off because their wives won't. I have no problem with that but why on earth would you rub my nose in it. Goodbye to you, Ebony.
The smart one in all of this is Esq. He says all the right things and keeps his other playmates to himself. Esq. plays it just right and he comes with a Sidekick that makes a nice little threesome.
Kitty is hoping tomorrow is a better day. I know it will be but every now and then I can't help but think it might be nice to get an honest to goodness down to earth hug from someone who may actually care.

High School Musical
There aren't many men any more that can make Kitty feel small and somehow he can. He's not particularly handsome or rich. He IS smart. I will give him that and I suppose that is what is attractive about him to Kitty. We also joke quite a bit (albeit by text) which is always a turn on for Kitty. I haven't seen him in person since that night at his back woods house. The night that I fucked his incredibly large cock and then he refused to kiss me afterwards.
After not hearing from him for months he finally "pocket dialed" Kitty. We began to text. I asked him what went wrong. Why didn't he keep in touch? I thought he thought the sex was bad. He said, "You lost your cool." What the FUCK does THAT mean?!?!?
At any rate, we got past it and have been texting on and off since then…for 8 long months. We talk about meeting for lunch. We talk about fucking again. We talk every so often about a threesome with one of his down and out friends. But in the end it's all just talk.
There's an arrogance about him. That's what keeps Kitty intrigued along with that dominance. Kneeling in front of him while I attempted to suck his enormous cock. Having him force himself on me to a certain degree. It's a turn on to Kitty.
Bad Boy said he must have been one of those guys that never got laid in high school. He must have been one of those guys that none of the girls liked and so now that he is a successful attorney he is taking it out on all of us. Bad Boy may be right but as we all know, Kitty cannot turn away from a challenge.
For whatever reason Kitty texted Esq. 2 and said, "We should have a play date." He was out of town all last week. He was at a conference. We texted throughout the week and he was due to come home. I hadn't heard from him so I followed up the next day which happened to be his first day back in the office. Of course Kitty knew he'd be swamped with work but when Kitty offers up a play date the polite thing to do is at least ACKNOWLEDGE the invitation!
Instead he said he was busy. Okay…I didn't mean that EXACT moment. It kind of make Kitty feel shitty that he blew me off that way. He's kind of an asshole. It's funny though because I mentioned it to my teenage son and he said, "You can't expect him to read your mind. You have to be specific. I mean, I'm not the guy's biggest fan but he's not wrong here." And I thought to myself, "Kitty, he's RIGHT! You have to be specific. You have to give him a chance."
So I texted Esq. 2 with a more specific time and date. He said, "Let's touch base tomorrow." Okay then! Now here is the thing…I'm not sure why Esq2 is different for me. Maybe it is because he is a work associate, maybe because he is so local or maybe because I REALLY like him intellectually and aside from his gigantic cock he offers very little sexually for me. For whatever reason even though Kitty offered the play date, I just wasn't sure about it. Esq2 and me…we have a lot to work out as far as compatibility. Kitty is all about kissing and Esq2 not so much. Esq2 is about dominance which is great inside the bedroom but outside; he's really kind of a DICK.
So when he said, "Let's touch base tomorrow," Kitty thought…"okay let's wait and see." And then…he texted,
"Is Fred invited?" Fred…his down and out friend.
Kitty being honest and somewhat taken aback texted, "I hadn't thought about it."
"I'm not quite ready for that"
"Sure you are…lol"
"I was thinking about some one on one attention but we can make it for another time."
And then….nothing…just like a high school kid not getting his way. We all know that Kitty is not afraid of a little threesome especially with two men but there is a way to do things right. I try to explain to these guys. I was with Esq. dozens of times before we had our threesome with Sidekick. Esq. and Kitty have chemistry and there is just something about him that Kitty trusts. So these guys that Kitty has only been with one time who want to jump into threesomes well…those days are over for Kitty…not the threesomes…the" random, desperate sex with strangers" thing.
So yeah, Esq. 2 shutting Kitty down because he isn't getting his way hurt Kitty's feelings a little sort of like back in high school. But in the end Kitty knows it's not right and it's not necessary. And in the end Kitty and Esq2 are just not meant to be.

Taking the Hard Line
It's funny really how different each of us can be from one another. I'm always joking with my work bestie about how I wish I could take Esq2's cock, combine it with Esq.'s personality and The Surfer's tongue. "The perfect man," I tell her.
Esq and Kitty have been trying to get together now for quite a while. In his defense Esq. has offered to come down Kitty's way several times and Kitty just didn't make the effort to drop everything and meet him. In Kitty's defense these meetings would be in the middle of the night. Kitty would have an hour to shower, shave, dress and apply make-up. Given Kitty's chosen profession along with the type A personality you would agree that this sort of thing doesn't always work for Kitty.
But yesterday Esq texted Kitty at work and asked if I would be interested in meeting after work. Now Kitty had planned to go out to dinner with one of my tight ass friends but ditched the idea somewhere around noon thinking the longer I had Esq, the more orgasms I could have.
When I arrived at his house I walked in and called for him. No answer so I called again and then quickly realized that he was on the phone still dressed in his business suit talking about some big case and about "taking the hard line". Listening to Esq take the hard line made Kitty super wet. This is the part of Esq that turns Kitty on. Esq is not a typical asshole guy at least not to Kitty. He is always very sweet, warm and giving. He apologized to me as the person on the other end rambled. I assured him it was fine. In reality it was sort of foreplay for Kitty.
When he finally got off the phone he grabbed a water for Kitty out of the fridge. He had lit about 10 candles lighting the otherwise dark room. We chatted and then mid sentence Esq began to kiss Kitty. Contrary to Traveling Salesman Kitty and Esq have a chemistry. We have a rapport. We decided to go upstairs to the bedroom taking two of the candles with us. The house was like an icebox as it was built in 1890 with little or no insulation and it was an absolutely frigid day.
We quickly undressed and slipped under the covers. Esq was warm and quite nice about letting Kitty warm up next to him even though I was freezing.
Now Kitty can't be sure but I suspect Esq has or had another mistress. He had some new moves which Kitty happened not to care for. One thing I have learned after a year with Esq is he likes to do his thing. He likes to go down on Kitty even though he just doesn't have the touch I need. He was able to make me cum right after our threesome with Sidekick. It was as though he observed Sidekick's technique and followed it the letter. But yesterday, he was too hard…too rough. Someone he fucks must like it but Kitty likes it slow and gentle. I told him I wanted his cock. He said, "You'll get it". So I laid back and tried to lean into the pain.
Luckily he gave in and said, "Roll over". Kitty happily obeyed. Esq slipped that beautiful hard cock of his inside Kitty and slammed into me over and over while holding my hips. His cock seemed bigger than ever. Kitty heard myself moan, and then he moaned and rested on my back. Kitty had missed getting fucked from behind. In fact I think the last time was back in June which was the last time I saw Esq.
We lay in bed talking. Esq likes to talk…A LOT. We took a look at the clock and it was almost time to go but Kitty needed to cum so I began to kiss Esq. Kitty leaned down and put his half erect cock in my mouth and damned if that thing did not become nice and hard in a matter of seconds. Kitty climbed on top of Esq hard cock and began to ride him and boy did it feel good. I could tell that he was ready to cum before I was but Kitty persevered. I rode and rubbed and gyrated. Sure enough Esq came but Kitty didn't stop. Kitty went to my happy place where Esq is standing behind me thrusting and Sidekick is in front of me with his dick in my mouth. Thinking, visualizing and wishing Kitty finally came.
I must have worked harder than I thought because as soon as I got home I crawled into my own bed, fell asleep and was finally able to relax.

Bringing it Home
Kitty received a very sexy email the other day…well…it was sexy to Kitty. See, Kitty and the Traveling Salesman were making plans to meet. He gets a really nice hotel suite nearby and he'll pick up some wine while Kitty will try to provide a snack of some sort. Last year on New Years I made up a beautiful, festive fruit and cheese tray. The last time we met I made chocolate fondue only something went wrong and it was a terrible disaster. So as we were making our plans via email I told him I might try the fondue again since it bothers me that it was so bad the last time. I asked him if he had any cravings.
His response which Kitty found terribly sexy was, "I crave you." Damn! Don't ask me why but to this day that line makes me wet even knowing the truth about the Travelling Salesman.
It is difficult to describe the Traveling Salesman. First of all, we have been fucking for a year now and I don't believe he knows Kitty's name…and I mean my FIRST name. I find it funny and sexy and pathetic all at the same time. It just kind of got lost in the shuffle. At first it was a game to conceal it but now it's simply too late for him to ask.
I'm not quite sure. Maybe he wants it that way.
So our usual routine is that kitty goes to meet him at his beautiful hotel suite. He had laid out a beautiful spread on the coffee table in the living room area. He set out two plates, forks, napkins a cocktail shrimp plate and two glasses of wine. Kitty arrived and quickly got the fondue together which by the way was perfect this time.
We sat and chatted for about an hour which is actually quite nice. We talk like friends about family, work and then he excuses himself to go to the bathroom.
"I got you a gift," he said on his way back to the couch. It was a candle. Kitty loves gifts from lovers all though they are few and far between but just the thought makes
Kitty wet and making Kitty wet buys extra cock sucking for that person.
We began to kiss and although Kitty adores the Traveling Salesman he just does not have the skill set Kitty is used to. Kissing on the couch is very awkward so we move to the bedroom. We kiss and I can feel that he is already hard. We undress and slip into bed but this time Kitty knows not to go down on the Traveling Salesman. Kitty has the need to feel his cock inside of me and going down on him gets him too excited. Kitty gets the feeling that the Traveling Salesman is vanilla all the way. Try as I might he will not admit to any fantasies or desires. Kitty does most of the thinking. In fact he never even hinted that he'd like kitty to suck his cock and when I did he lost all control.
This time however Kitty played it safe. As we lay in bed kissing Kitty rubbed the Salesman's cock and we found ourselves in the perfect spot for Kitty to roll on top of the Salesman so I did. Typically Kitty prefers the man to take control but "Desperate times call for desperate measures" as they say. As soon as I put his cock inside of me, I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't going to last long with me on top. The bad part is that I could hardly feel his dick inside of me which made me sad. But alas, Kitty is a GIVER so I decided to make the best of it and rock the Traveling Salesman's world without a thought for myself.
Kitty rocked and gyrated on top of the Salesman as his face twisted and turned. I sucked on each of his nipples giving each a little nibble and within a matter of minutes kitty could see and hear that he was cumming. Kitty pulled off of his cock quickly giving him a moment to catch his breath.
The thing about the Traveling Salesman is that he is not one to snuggle or caress after he cums. When he is done he is done which is fine with Kitty. We did take a few moments to regroup. He said a few nice words then we dressed and Kitty braved the bitter cold night to go back home.
You may ask, "Kitty, weren't you disappointed that you didn't cum?" Well…Kitty likes the Traveling Salesman. Maybe he can't bring it home in bed but he is kind and sweet and if Kitty can give him some pleasure then that in a sense makes me feel good too.

Happy Holidays From Naughty Kitty
Happy holidays everybody!!! I hope your New Year is full of good health, happiness and lots of SEX! I am not sure what the heck is going on with Kitty but I have had terrible writer's block. I have no inspiration to write whatsoever which makes Kitty so sad. Don't get me wrong. That's not to say that Kitty hasn't been having a great year filled with good health, happiness and lots of sex myself…it's just…I don't know…I just haven't been inspired to write about it.
It's crazy. Kitty's blogging buddy has been up to all sorts of shenanigans. He's been meeting women on Tinder, Craigslist…you name it. He's been having all sorts of couples swaps and threesomes. Kitty even tried at one point to gather his experience and maybe write another book but in all honesty Bill moves so fast and furious through these women that Kitty can't keep up.
What's been going on with Kitty, you ask. Well, Kitty's vanilla life is quite busy and of course my busy season is approaching which is part of why I wanted to at least ramble a little bit online. I suppose I feel somewhat obligated to keep up my blog. I'm not sure about all of you but I used to feel a little cheated when a blog I enjoyed just ceased to exist. Kitty has no intention of doing that.
I am going to speak frankly about something. Kitty does not have many regrets in my life. In fact the few I have are menial. One regret I do have however is telling some of the men in my life about this blog. I'll admit that when I told some of the men in my life about it I was either 1. Not sleeping with them at the time or 2. Trying to get their approval on some level. At any rate there have been times when I do not write trying to preserve the feelings of one of these men. Don't get me wrong. That is not an excuse. Kitty is just trying to keep things real.
Which is why when Tom Hagen texted me the other day asking why I hadn't updated my blog in quite some time I was unable to answer. Tom Hagen is a great example of one of the men I am talking about. Tom and Kitty well…we fucked…several years ago. Since then we text every now and again. It generally starts out playful then ends with Kitty saying something that offends Tom and he cuts off communication…until we start again. I think one of the things that offended Tom is that he reads my blog. He sees that Kitty has a threesome then immediately assumes Kitty would participate in a threesome or gang bang with him and his little buddies. Oh Tom, don't be offended.
You are not the only one who thinks this way. Esq2 has the same attitude. I think the issue is that the days of Kitty fucking some random guy that she has never met before is over at least for now. That threesome was an organic occurrence between Esq. and Kitty and Esq.'s very best friend. There was a trust there that for whatever reason sunk in with Kitty. It wasn't just a random spontaneous thing.
Okay, I am sorry for the rambling and Tom Hagen, if you are reading this, I do not mean to offend you.
I do have to say that I received a text this week that I have not been able to get out of my head. It was a very simple text. It read:
"Good Morning. I was feeling really good last night…Relaxing with a smile on my face and a very hard cock. I think my dick was trying to tell me something. I love making love to you and I think we are just beginning to learn what we really want…"
The text in its entirety lends itself to planning the future. Not a future as a monogamous couple. A future of sex with one another. Not to mention the fact that Kitty is surrounded by people who make it quite clear that there is absolutely nothing worth loving about Kitty. So for anybody to show any "love" for any parts of Kitty…well…that is just heartwarming. But let's face it, Kitty knows better. Kitty knows all too well that the endorphins wear off and we get back to our vanilla lives until the next time.
This text came the morning after a very warm night of fucking The Surfer. The Surfer and Kitty…well…we have something nice. The last time we fucked he said, "I like what we have." Kitty agreed. He is a simple man and Kitty appreciates those simple statements and I agree with them. We have for lack of a better word "relationship" that seems free and easy. We float in and out of each other's lives as our schedules and libidos permit.
To date The Surfer can make Kitty cum every single time. His tongue is like velvet on my clit and when we fuck we melt into one another effortlessly. We have something very nice and while Kitty cherishes the moments we have together, I am very well aware that each time we meet may be our last.
"I love making love to you"…don't ask me why but that simple line just made Kitty's holiday a little brighter.

Pownal man to pay $700 for importing deer from NY
BENNINGTON A Pownal man agreed to pay a fine of more than $700 for bringing a deer he killed in Hoosick, N.Y., into Vermont in November.
Gregorio F. Messina, 28, pleaded guilty Monday in Bennington criminal court after being cited for importing a wild animal without a permit. Messina was ordered to pay a fine of $716.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Travis Buttle, a state game warden, said he was sent to Messinas home after police got a complaint that several shots had been fired from his home around 8 p.m. Nov. 25.
Buttle said he saw a deer hanging from the back deck.
Messina admitted shooting off his back deck at some targets, Buttle said. When asked about the deer carcass, he said he had shot it Nov. 23 in Hoosick, near the Bennington Battlefield, Buttle said.
I asked him if he was aware of the regulations for importing deer from (New York) and he advised that he was not. I explained to him the regulations related to importing deer from (chronic wasting disease) states, Buttle said.MORE IN This Just In

When life throws you a curve ball, you should try to hit a home run — and that's what Fred Langa is doing by re-committing himself to help his loyal readers.
Fred wrote for Windows Secrets off and on from November 2006 to May 2008, but the retirement he announced at the end of that period didn't work out, so he's back, starting today.
As you may know, after years of yeoman's duty at Byte Magazine and CMP Publications, Fred wrote his own e-mail newsletter, the LangaList, twice a week for almost 10 years. His newsletter and ours merged in 2006, and he became the editor of Windows Secrets, continuing to write a column nearly every week.
Fred's devotion to his readers is legendary. Even when he went on his dream summer hiatus in 2007, riding his motorcycle in a big loop around the U.S. and Canada, he spent time helping others. He chose four Windows Secrets readers around the continent to receive a full day of his personal help, free of charge. (His eight-part series documenting these Langa Housecalls is on our site.)

Lawmakers: Declassify Portions of Sept. 11 Report
A bipartisan effort is underway in the Senate to overrule President Bush and declassify portions of a congressional report that suggest a possible Saudi link to the Sept. 11 attacks. Leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee plan to review the 28 pages with the CIA and FBI. And Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) circulates a letter urging Bush to release the information.

Holding onto yourself the best you can
This song. On Repeat. All day.
What do you think?
Any requested content? Is the Arial Narrow too difficult to read?
Should I post this link on facebook and let everybody I know judge me and view how terrible my writing skills are/stupid my life is?
Purchase #2: Australian Vogue
THERE WAS THREE COVERS TO CHOOSE FROM! HOW COULD I NOT BUY ONE? I am known to buy magazines simply for their brilliant covers (I once bought a Cleo because the picture was a close-up of Cameron Diaz in black and white - massively risky and different for the magazine but I think it was pretty cool). I chose the blue Vogue cover but I am consider forking out two more lots of $8.50 for the other covers. Oh Vogue, how gullible I am to your clever marketing strategy.
So I was going to spread out my TED talk postings so you weren't overwhelmed but PLEASE WATCH THIS! It is so amazing. A neuroanatomist talking about her own stroke. It kind of makes me think about what drugs do to the hemispheres of the brain. I don't do drugs but from what I have heard this seems to make a bit more sense. The way she describes the sides of the brain are really helpful and simple for people like me who have no concept for such things (yet).
I have 217 unread blog posts on Bloglovin'. Seriously need to get onto that but I have been so busy/lazy* over the past weekend that I haven't even bothered to turn on my computer.
If you are up to date with your blog reading or are just bored because you have done all your work and can't leave without suspicious until 4, then have a look at my blog and let me know what you think.
*how was I busy and lazy at the same time?
Check out this totally awesome blog that some totally awesome person made!
Okay, so that person was me and I'm not totally awesome and the blog is not totally awesome (yet). But have a look and tell me what you think! Please. I want it to be a little bit like a weekly newsletter/magazine. This week there is some cool things on there about Frightened Rabbits, Alexa Chung, backless cardigans and book Europe tours. And there is also some cute photos. Pretend to love it. Thanks :)
But I'm scared I'll get scared and I swear I'll try to nail you back up
On repeat. Too much love.
I keep getting caught up on this envelope clutch from Sportsgirl. Every time I go into the store I pick it up but I can't yet bring myself to pay $40 for it.
My man repeller-esque outfit. I don't know how well this will show because it's an iPhone photo but all the elements are there: layers, neon, animal (well it's hard to see but the shirt has two cat eyes and says "meow").
I'm excited about this weeks blog post. It may, or may not, include information about my recent purchases and travel confirmation, Rachel Zoe, a super cute blog from an arty girl living in Amsterdam, my favorite song, beach and book, and the phrase "loosening up for what you both want"*.
Check out last weeks blog posts at:
*I found a note on my phone saying this. I don't know what it means or why I wrote it. All I know is that I wrote it very late on saturday night after a few too many house champagnes. Writing under the influence… What it's all about.
Just casually watching TED Talk upon TED Talk. But seriously, this guy is a genius. One of those very simple but outrageously effective ideas that make you think: How did no one else think of that? Go have a look at the Khan Academy. I am way too excited about watching all of the biology, chemistry and cosmology videos.
1. Don't care about what anybody thinks of you until they say it out loud. Accept that you can't read peoples thoughts and that most people don't give a shit about you until they actually meet you. (yes I did write that post in your ask)
I wrote a blog about advice I would give people. I think there are a few gems in there. Also an analogy about your ex as 100 cheeseburgers and your future lover as 100 strawberries haha. I like this post so read it please :)
Lafeyette Cat Eye Sunglasses by Elizabeth and James
I might have posted these before but I am obsessed with them. Although I have major problems buying sunglasses because my face is weird (heh). They are $155. Is that too much? I feel like I need them though.
BrisbaneTimes have an open position for an Arts blogger (Fashion/Stage and Screen/Social Scene). I would adore this job but I am no where near good/confident enough and applications close today. You even get a "small writer's fee" which is actually a GIGANTIC WRITERS FEE for people who know anything about how often writers get regular pay. But seriously, I hope whoever does get this job is actually good because it makes me crazy when I see young published writers who have no skill or style whatsoever.

Bio: With precise bars and hard punchlines over a mix of hardcore and hip-hop beats, Menace stands as one of few lyricists left in the game. Official wordplay and his commanding voice force u to listen up as he speaks on his life and his views. No Bullshit!
Menace The Savage
"Ohio's own Menace The Savage gives audiences something to hold onto with his bold hip hop stance. There's something a little menacing about "One, Zero, Zero"…which makes sense given the emcees name. It's a clever take on 100. I see what you did there. I didn't expect to hear what I heard when "Fake 2 Me" started. It started with this Spanish guitar and that was heard throughout; different but pulled off well. Deja The Artist hopped on to help out with "No Love." She didn't give an R&B hook, but rather spit out her own rhymes as well. You can hear Booman bringing it with Menace The Savage on the forceful "Respect," energized "Shake It" and hype "Til I Die." He can do it on his own though and does with "Special D-livery." Whether he's playing well with others or on his own, Menace The Savage does his thing. If you're a fan of Ludacris and Scarface, check out Menace today. (http://www.reverbnation.com/menacethesavage)"

Saint-Exupery: A Biography (Paperback)Stacy Schiff
Paperback Published: 07/11/1996
- Not available
This is a fascinating account of the life of one of the century's great eccentrics - the brilliant Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Born in 1900 of impoverished aristocracy, he swiftly developed a mania for aviation, despite his chaotic mind and total technological incompetence. He flew reconnaissance missions in the War and wrote some strange and wonderful books, including the classic children's story "The Little Prince", between theatrically executed airplane crashed. He died in the air in 1944, and his brief life instantly acquired mythical status. 'Every facet of Saint-Exupery's short and dramatic life is covered in this fascinating biography. This is Stacy Schiff's first book, but she writes with all the skill, assurance and mastery of an old literary hand. If there was such a thing as a prize for a first biography, I would nominate this book' - Frank McLynn, "Sunday Telegraph".

Good. The Vatican document On the Collaboration of Men and Women in the Church and in the World (released July 31) rejects "an outdated conception of femininity" as passivity. The letter to the bishops of the world, written by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, advocates the equal dignity and active collaboration of men and women in the church, in society, and in the home. While no evidence of women's theological collaboration appears in the document, Ratzinger states that the goal of his letter is to serve as "a starting point" and an "impetus for dialogue."
Fortunately, dialogue is different from monologue. The first step must be to listen and acknowledge that critical differences can arise among those engaged in a "sincere search for truth." Participants who disagree with one another can still be "men and women of good will." Much as I disagree with many of Cardinal Ratzinger and Pope John Paul II's ideas on sex and gender, I readily grant their sincerity, faith, and idealism. It is a cynical misunderstanding to see the Vatican's positions on sexuality as a last-ditch effort to maintain control by refusing ordination to women, rejecting homosexuality, condemning contraception, or disallowing divorce. No, Cardinal Ratzinger and the pope along with...

On their new show 50/50, co-hosts Samantha Brown and Chris Grundy ask unsuspecting people on the street one question: "Can you leave right now?" Those who dare to say "yes" will embark on an adventure-packed 50-hour getaway worth $50,000. See what we did there?
Adventurous and handy? Before coming to the Travel Channel, Grundy hosted DIY Network's Blog Cabin and Cool Tools among other series on our sister network HGTV.
"Never apply self-tanner after 2 glasses of wine."
Who knew? Samantha always packs a jar of peanut butter. "I brown bag it even when I'm flying first-class," she says. "It's my last chance to eat something homemade."
You'll find we affectionately call Chris, we mean Grundy, by his last name.
"I get terrible homesickness," Samantha says. "Usually when I first wake up in the morning, but only for about an hour."
"I always bring a book of poetry with me -- usually Robert Frost or Mary Oliver," she says.
We suspect his knack for improv has something to do with his stints at the beloved Second City comedy clubs.
"I would own a little breakfast place where I would be on a first-name basis with all my customers," says Samantha. "I would wear cute aprons and go around to all my tables with a carafe of coffee at my hip asking if they wanted 'some more Joe.'"
"My biggest regret is that I never did a sport in high school," says Samantha. "I was too scared of failing."
In the season premier, Samantha and Grundy team up with Al Roker to whisk one lucky pair from The Today Show set on an once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Abu Dhabi.
"What I love most about travel is feeling like a fish out of water. I love being the person in the room who looks and sounds like no one else," Samantha Brown says. "The challenge of seeing where I fit in and how I can make a connection with people who are completely different than me is absolutely thrilling."

June 26
If we are to fulfill the task that God has given to us as Christians, if we are to carry out the mission of this church to reach the lost and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, if we are to serve in the spirit of Christ, then we must be serious about our commitment to Christ.download
June 19
The parable of the prodigal son not only tells about wayward sons; it speaks about the good father. Jesus told this story to teach both the religious authorities and repentant sinners about the character of our Heavenly Father.download
June 12
The religious leaders complained because Jesus welcomed and received "sinners." In these parables Jesus shows the error of their attitude and demonstrates how we should respond to those who are lost in our society.download
June 5
In our service of God, we will be given tasks that are beyond our capabilities to perform. Elijah faced those same challenges as he called on God to turn the hearts of the people of Israel back to him. In order to face such challenges, he had to learn to call upon the power of God.download
May 22
To meet the challenges of living the Christian life and to be what God calls us to be, we must be growing in our relationship with God. The events of 1 Kings 17 show us how Elijah grew to be a great man of God. First he had to learn to trust in the provision of God.download
May 15
At 85 years old we hear that Caleb was energetic, excited, and ready to be used of God. He was at peace and satisfied with his life, and his story gives us insights to how we can be content as well.download
May 8
We face conflicting images of greatness in our society. While all fall short of perfection, the scriptures do provide us snapshots of people we can emulate. Mary is one such character who demonstrated a number of traits that make her a worthy example.download
May 1
As we celebrate the 46th anniversary of the church, and our annual Covenant Sunday, we look once again to Joshua 24 as a reminder of how the people of God periodically need to be called to recommit to the Lord.download

Chief financial officer Arthur Watts tells The Birmingham News the city is paying $17 million in salaries and benefits this year with one-time federal stimulus money.
That won't be available when fiscal year 2012 starts on Oct. 1.
Watts says the district is also losing about $8 million in state funding because of declining enrollment and about $5 million will be lost to an anticipated 4 percent proration in 2012.
Watts says that means the city will need to close and consolidate more schools, sell surplus property and have mass layoffs.
Superintendent Craig Witherspoon says he's working on a plan to address the budget crisis.
He says layoffs will definitely be necessary.
