**Title provided by Master...and yes it is a play on words.
No, I am not Ethel Merman...and those of you too young to know who she is, have missed out on a wonderful singer. Also, when I was in college and took the required music class...at the end of the class, the professor presented me with a basket of notes, in case I ever 'needed to carry a tune".
We actually had Monday maintenance this week...Starting with my naked kneeling, both of use concentrating on just Us...blocking the rest of the world out. Then over Master's lap for a lovely hand warm-up. After a few sets, I feel Master reach for something, the oval soft leather paddle that I love. Master finishes my warm-up with a couple of sets with the paddle....I am so relaxed.
And then I hear, time for the real spanking to begin, and Master now has the small wooden maintenance paddle. So much for being relaxed. Maintenance is 4 sets of 25, with a short break for rubbing after each set, each set harder as I get louder. When we finish the last set, I am on my knees, this time to 'thank' him.
Master then tells me to bend over and present my bottom. He has the tawse in his hands. It is like a split leather belt, maybe a bit smaller than a belt. I am having a hard time adjust to the double impact with each spank. Master stops, rubs my bottom a bit, and then I hear the sounds of his belt being pulled off...ahhhh. We continue with the belt. Much nicer feeling, each set a bit harder, as I get more vocal. Finally he says, last 10 hardest of all...and I am very loud. As soon as we get to 10 Master says to me.....you just gave a whole new meaning to the saying...belting out a son....but don't think Ethel would mind. I laugh and say...thanks for the blog title.
We are both ready for snuggling and loving. After the loving part...we are both more than ready for nap time...ahh..the advantages of having the house to ourselves...and both being old enough to appreciate a good nap:)!!

Time Flies....
Where does time go? I realized today that I had not posted in a couple of weeks, I have been reading, but not updating my own blog. I used to think retired folks had nothing but time on their hands.....boy was I wrong!!!
Last week I was treated to a wonderfully long hand spanking. Master's hand is more like leather than a feather....but it is my favorite spanking 'tool'. This was followed by the horse hair flogger....ever since I complained that it spent too long at the bottom of the toy bag, it seems to have moved up closer to the top:)! When I was almost jello...Master switched to the large leather flogger...followed by permissions and snuggling...a mini-vacation!
We did have a maintenance session this past week, on Tuesday. When spankings are not regular, that little paddle seems to pack much more of a wallop! I was ouching early on...that does not deter Him one bit. Once my 'cheeks' were an acceptable rosy red color, we moved on to permission needed activities ;)...
We also managed some Fun Friday time....starting with a long hand warm-up, followed by time with the lovely small oval paddle. I was so relaxed, when I hear...up and bottom presented. It took me a couple minutes for the words to register and for me to get moving...Master can be patient...
He is holding the large leather strop, starts off mildly and each set gets harder. By the time He is finished, I am in the 'hurts so good' zone.
As most of you know, Master expects me to do a task...just for Him...every day. Most days I choose either..no panty day, some corner time, kneeling time, using my plug (rarely), texting him every hour, whatever activity I think will please him. I text him when it is completed. Occasionally Master will assign me a task before he leaves for work.
Last week, he had found a submissive poem and my task for the day was to memorize it...it was 8 lines, and was fairly ease to remember. I now repeat it every day...One day, I realized that some of the lines really talk to relationships in general...so thought I would share them....and add my thoughts...
Become acutely aware of him...
Which of our partners would not love being acutely aware of, knowing we think of him/her during the day, that we recognize all they do for us, that we appreciate them.
Be sensitive to his moods and changes....
A lot of time, the saying...it is all in the timing...is so true. If work or family or friends or illnesses or whatever have our partner worried, probably not the best time to ask for extra attention or nag (not that any of us ever nag...)...
Find out what he wants from you, give it to him, and more....
Who does not like to be surprised by something special, something more than what we were expecting??
Find out who he want you to be, be that person, beyond his wildest dreams..
Our partners want us to be the 'best us' we can be. It is what we want also. I believe, our relationships, help us down that road...of being the best us
Just a few lines I thought I would share...
and finally....Fondles is starting an FFF fun fitness Friday group. May of us are trying to get healthier so this is a way to encourage each other and maybe share any helpful hints we might have. We 'officially' start this Friday, if you are interested give Fondles a visit!
Have a good week everyone!

Questions from Baker..
Baker posted some questions pertaining to our similarities/differences...getting to know each other better...here is my 2 cents worth.
1. Are you an introvert or extrovert, or some where in between? What about your HOH?
According to chart provided, I am much more of an extrovert...I think that might be true of most teachers. If I am around a new group of people, then they probably see me as introvert. Master is positively an extrovert, checked off all of those traits in the extrovert column on your chart.
2. At what age did you realize spanking was something you were attracted to and at what length did you go to hide it?
I was a late comer, in my 40's. For a long time...years... it was all about books and fantasizing. Master was the first person who I actually had a conversation with about it. He had been to spanking 'parties' and spanked quite a few ladies.
It was freeing...and a little weird at first...talking out loud about my secret fantasies.
3. Did you know anyone else in your family who practices DD, TTWD, etc. and how did you learn they did?
No, not a sole that I am aware of....
4. Are you a homebody or outgoing?
Hmmm...both? I do enjoy my quiet days at home, but I also love going out and having fun with friends and family. I rarely refuse an invite for some fun, and will initiate outings...so maybe slightly more outgoing?
5. How do you view blogging? Is it an outlet? The way you process?
I started blogging because Master insisted...I was very hesitant...after my third post, I told him I was done...He said give it 6 months then decide....that was 7 years ago. For me it is a place of acceptance, a place where I can share an important part of me without judgement. It has become a place of friendships, new ideas, sometimes much needed very wise advice.
6. What tendencies do you see in your DD and TTWD friends and bloggers??
I see a group who have found a wonderful outlet for a part of our lives that is very private. A place we can share, learn, discuss, and feel acceptance. I see very strong woman in most parts of their lives who dared to take a step into the unknown, in an effort to better their lives, their marriages , their relationships, their curiosity. I see a group who have a delightful 'little secret' than enriches our lives, our relationship, maybe even our view of ourselves.
7. Are you a lover of the printed word?
Oh , yes, always have been. Even as a child I was often found with a nose in a book. I belong to a book club, in an effort to explore books I might not pick up on my own, and to share some wonderful discussions on the books, helping me to see some things with a new perspective. I am also loving passing that on to the grands...they are all book lovers, and would be disappointed if grandma ever showed without a new book to share. The oldest (9) and I are working on writing on illustrating a book series....we are on book 3.
8. Do you view yourself as a submissive?
The first time M used the work submissive to me, I laughed out loud and said it showed how little he really knew me. For a very long time, out of necessity, I was the in charge person..in a classroom, the oldest sibling, raising 3 children...
but my answer to that today is yes, I am a submissive, and it enriches my life, it is a part of my life that I treasure, and know how lucky I am to be traveling this road with M. Does that one word define all of me...no.
9. What traits do you see in your HOH that help you follow His lead?
Oh, my where do I start with this one...
His voice...or more exactly that certain tone, that he uses that draws me in.
His willingness to get to really know me...I am not an open book..not an 'easy read'. It took a long time, and lots of hard work for M to get me to open up, to let him in. He really knows all of me...and accepts all of me and that is a wonderful gift he has given me.
His trustworthiness...It took me way too long to really believe that when he said to me...I am here to stay, not going any place....that he meant it. I know without a doubt, that he always wants what is best for me, for us.
Thanks Baker, for a great idea for a post...

Bored....No Way!
One of the questions Master will ask me periodically is..."are you bored, yet"...I always answer no...He is very creative, in many ways, and as He puts it likes to keep me on my toes...
I think I am fairly good at surprises and can be creative...I have mentioned here one of the things I will sometimes do when I am away, or life has become very busy, is I will text Him every hour, sometime during the hour. Usually just a variation of I am thinking of you, something along the thought of 'all of me, all of the time, sometimes a pic...a mixture of things just to let Him know I am thinking of Him. He always says He enjoys such days, gives him a lift and something to look forward to.
On New Year's Eve, He was working, and I decided to do the hourly texting, but switched it up a little by adding a theme...favorite memories of us. He loved it....and I very much enjoyed the walk..texting..down memory lane. I was thinking it would be a nice occasional thing to add something to as ordinary day...silly me.
Since then Master has informed me three times of the theme for the day for my hourly text....I do enjoy it and am please He does also..but I was planning a much more occasional thing. His themes have been...the hardest or scariest things that He has asked of me. This one took a lot of thought. When we first started, just about everything fit into this category. Later, when we were discussing the list he added a couple of things that he expected to see, that were not on the list...but, he was right. His next theme was...things you have learned about me. I thought I might need to be a little careful about this, but it turned out to be the easiest one yet...
Yesterday I was told to pick a toy from his 'toy bag' every hour and rate it. He has quite a toy bag, and I tried to even out the low rated toys and the higher ones....to my way of thinking...or feeling them. Yesterday was also maintenance day..yes on a Wednesday, life is still keeping us very occupied with many things.
We started with , as always, my naked kneeling time. I was really squirming as He concentrated on my nipples, and moved my hands from their required position...clasped behind me...the pinching became much harder and I was told would continue until my hands were back where they belonged. Quite an incentive for keeping them where He wants them.
Finally I was invited over his lap, starting with a nice hand warm-up followed by 4 sets of 25 with the small, but very effective, maintenance paddle. I started squirming and ouching very quickly...Master saying that is sign that not enough spanky stuff has been happening.
Maintenance over with, Master pulled out the horse hair flogger. It is like a mini or baby flogger, and I love it. I had put it on my list as something that does not come out of the toy bag often enough and why I miss it. He started with it on my back, thighs, had me face him and spread my legs, up and down all over.....it was sooo nice.
Master then pulled out the rose, brown leather paddle...I had also mentioned that it was one of my favorites, like his hand only covers more territory with each spank. He treated me to a few sets with it, I was so in that wonderful 'spanking zone'.
Master told me not to fall asleep yet, there was one more toy that I had rated high on my list...the flogger. (Sometimes, often, he can be such a sweetie:), he helped me up, and I leaned against the mantle, and Master went up an down my body with the flogger. By the time He as done I could feel my 'wetness' puddling....Master checked and laughed saying He knew what He would find, and I did not disappoint Him. So, of course we moved on, to ending our play time, both spent and ready for a nap.
This morning as he is leaving, I hear...don't forget your hourly text...I look surprised, and asked if that is a new routine...He gives me that ...look...which usually means, yes indeed something new has been added to my day. As he is walking out he adds...it keeps us much closer all day, and makes his day better. Bored...no...thankful that I am His...oh yes!

Baby It's Cold Outside...but Inside...
Let's say it is nice and toasty! Yes, we are deep in snow and cold...but knowing that even Florida is getting some of the white stuff makes it more bearable. Hope all of you are safe and warm...and partaking of lots of indoor fun activities;).
The kids and grands are all back home...both live in places where the blizzard is hitting, so I am happy they left in time to make it home safely. We had planned a girl's weekend this coming weekend, but looks like that old man Winter has other thoughts.
Master and I had some 'just us' time yesterday....starting in the usual way...with my naked kneeling. I could feel myself relax and let go as His hands traveled and claimed all of me.
Then over His knees for a hand warm-up..you know it has
been too long between spankings when a hard warm-up has you squirming....Master nicely including lots of rubbing to help me relax. Since this is a new year, we are starting fresh with maintenance spankings 👏.
Two sets of 25 before I get a break, to try and distract Master...:)....it never works. Then the last two sets, and I am back on knees pleasuring Him....I hear no swallowing without permission. With my mouth full, Master decides I should cum and swallow at the same time. Now, usually I try to last as long as possible...feels so good...but I knew that was not a good strategy this time.
After a bit of snuggle time, Master say he has a new belt he wants to break in......in my experience new belts are way too stiff...I am told to present my bottom, and the first few have me ouching and moving. Master does say the belt feels heavier than his others....note to self....test the weight of a belt before purchasing. Finally he says he is happy with my warm, red bottom, and we get some quiet, snuggle time.
On a side note...Master and I text a lot to keep in touch...When I am away, or sometimes just as a surprise to him I will pick a topic/theme and send him a text every hour having to do with it. Last week when I was busy with the grands and the new year was approaching I picked the theme favorite memories of us...and sent him a shot text with a quick memory of the past....17 years. He loves it when I do this, and told me he especially enjoyed this one. I was told that today, he wants a text every hour of what has been the hardest/scariest thing that I remember. This is the first time he has given me a topic or theme, so I was pleased....but this one has taken some thought. It is providing me with lots of proof about how far we have come.
Stay warm and safe everyone!

Blessings for the New Year...
........I want to start by thanking all of you for the support you offered me this year. I wish all of you blessings, wonderful memory making moments, lots of laughter and love and...oh yes..good girl spankings!
....Our celebrations are always planned around when we can all be together. This year, daughter and crew were here before Christmas, so Santa came and left gifts for them to open on Christmas morning. The same thing happened at my son's...he and his crew arrived the day after Christmas...that is when we had our big family Christmas. We also got in some sledding, a couple museums, a movie, and lots of family games.
....I managed with only a couple of "those looks" from Master...and I am now trying to remember to add the word Sir back into my vocabulary.
....Not sure what weather you are all having but it has been...and will continue to be FREEZING here..mostly below zero...with lots of snow. Not supposed to let up for at least a couple of weeks...UGH. I have to admit, Master has many creative ways to keep me warm:)...
....Wishing all of you a new year that finds you healthy, content, and with many new memory making opportunities....
