Parmesan Chicken and Rice Fast-Oven Barbecued Chicken

I am playing up the period game with FFH. Pretending to feel quite virginal at the moment. No horny talk to him today. My legs are tightly crossed, my lips (upper pair) are clenched tightly together, my Don't come near me bra is hooked like cement. Yes, I sometimes thrive in the bitchiness that can be me. I love pre-period time, the time when hormones allow you to act out of control nasty, and you have the most plausible excuse, and believe me, no man will argue with itDon't know about all you women in the blogosphere but I get cranky pre-period, cranky followed by extremely randy. Didja all know that the big Os help relieve cramps?? Didja know the Os are most powerful and plentiful..meaning multiple.. right before and right after the curse?? I call it the before the period horniness followed by the after the period necessary sex. If you want to get into TMI, it takes a REAL man to do the deed during. Mind blowing my ladyfriends, mind blowing. Like Yelling "Hurt Me Lone Ranger" mind blowing!!
