FFF 9

    Yes, I am actually a day early...figure that is better than the last two weeks when I was a day late. :).  I am leaving very early in the morning, for my daughter's, my son is headed there also for a marathon weekend of fun!  Tomorrow we are celebrating a 10th (oh my, double digits) birthday, and an all girls trip to NYC on Saturday and Easter on Sunday...returning Sunday evening.
    De-cluttering. My early plan for this week was to change over my closet from winter to warmer weather clothing.  I saw a long range forecast, and saw the word snow twice, and no temps above the 30's..ugh.  So stayed away from the closet, and counted how many pairs of shoes I have, in a few places.  Let's just say it was over 30, many of which have not been worn in a long, long time.  So, I have a big box of shoes for a drop off at the Salvation Army.
   Walking...did well on this on....over 50 minutes every day!! This weekend will probably put a stop to that streak, but the NYC day might make up for the lost days....that is a walking city!
   No sitting binges, did OK....got some 'wriggling'..(that is what Master's tell me to do..put a wriggle in it...when I am walking), I did less sitting this week, and did do quite a few tours around the house.
    Weight loss 1/2 pound...still going in the right direction. Although I am thinking that after this weekend, I will have found that 1/2 pound...and probably a little extra...

Thoughts on an often asked question....

         When I post an entry on my blog, I am pretty certain that at least one person will comment...how do you take such a hard spanking (not those exact words, but that sentiment). Don't get me wrong, I love all comments, and thank all of you who take the time to comment, but I thought it might be a good idea to expand on my one sentence response to those comments. This is going to be a look back on Master and my journey and on my thoughts, no spanking...fair warning...and you have my permission to stop reading now.
        I started blogging, at Master's insistence...umm actually he issued a  "you will start blogging", when his insistence was not enough.  That was in 2010...and I am so happy he did.  At that point Master and I had known each other for 7 years.  He wanted me to be able to share my thoughts, and hopefully connect with like-minded people.  He reads here, but has never been at all negative or critical about anything I have written.
      M and I 'met' on line, and chatted for quite a while before we met.  He had spanked 'young ladies' for a number of years, been to spanking parties...I had read about, dreamed about and fantasized about spankings for a number of years.  After we had chatted for a couple of months, M decided it was time to meet.  He gave me a choice of..beer or coffee...I replied, given those 2 choices I always choose beer.  Master chuckled...one thing we have in common.  Being the wise man he is, he decided we should meet the next day..less time for me to agonize and think myself out of it.  I did sit in the parking lot and almost talk myself out of it, but something in me knew...now or never.
      I walked in...and that was the best beer I ever had.  We chatted non-stop, he made me laugh, we discovered we actually had quite a few things in common (besides the obvious), and yes, even then he did seem to be able to read my mind.  I got my first spanking that very evening....fully clothed and with his hand...but...finally...I had been spanked.
We continued to chat and get to know each other, and about a month later had my second spanking...still fully dressed, and with his hand, but this time on my bared bottom.
      Around this time, my oldest daughter got engaged, and I wanted to lose weight before the wedding.  When I mentioned it to Master, he offered to be my diet coach.  I was not sure what that entailed, but knew with help my chances of succeeding were much better.  I lost over 50 pounds, in that year before the wedding, at times it was a painful process.  I was introduced to Master's 'toy bag'....and was in shock for a week...it was heavy and had lots of items in there.
          By the time of my daughter's wedding, we had learned a lot about each other, we are very close in age, we went to catholic schools, we had the same sense of humor, we felt the same strong way about family..in fact, my youngest and his son were born on the same day, same year, same hospital..out paths probably crossed way back then.
              Over the years we grew closer, and I became 'His'..I had learned, M was/is a man of his word, he is patient, he is stubborn (as I am, he is the only person who has ever out-stubborned me), he is trust worthy, and he wanted to take very good care of me.  We also discovered that I had quite an appetite...and tolerance for spankings.   Our play sessions became more frequent and longer in duration.  My tolerance seemed to grow and Master was...make that is..very good at reading my reactions.  Knowing when to push me a little, when to pull back and move on to hugs.  Yes, spankings still hurt, some much more than others, but they also served to calm me, and with Master's wonderful after care, to make me feel wanted and cherished.
                    An unexpected side effect was, I discovered I was a sexual being.  Yes, I had three children, and was aware of how that happened LOL.  But I also had been convinced that I was not sexually appealing, that it took way too long to get me in the mood...and that I was incapable of having an orgasm.  Master almost choked when I told him that I could not orgasm....and anyone who reads here knows that he did prove to me that I could indeed orgasm...
                      So, it has been a long, wonderful journey of exploration and discovering new things about myself.  M and I often tell each other how lucky were to find each other, we share so many things, have so much in common, and are very happy to be growing old...er...older together.
                 Thanks for indulging me with this post, it has been swirling around in my head for a while...now I can leave that swirling here...hugs abby
                      
        

       

"Not Being Accommodating"*

*Title provided by Master...

    In my world, Monday is maintenance day.  We don't always get to it on Mondays, but it has been part of our lives for...at least 10 years now. In all that time, one would think it would have become routine..and some parts of it are a routine, but he still manages to keep it fresh and surprise me on a regular basis.  Yesterday was a combination of the old and the new.
    As is the norm, we start with my naked kneeling.  Master usually starts off playing with my nipples, pulling, pinching, rubbing. This time, He is using his mouth...his lips, his tongue, his teeth.  He is being relentless and I am starting to squirm and pant.  He pauses just long enough to tell me..there is one way to stop this.  We have this little battle often, and I know I never win, but some days, I just have to try.  He wants me to ask for my maintenance spanking...I do not like to ask....He continues, and as he switches from one breast to the other, he gives me that 'look'...cumming without permission is not accepetable. Finally, like always happens, I ask, he grins and says...I don't feel like being accommodating today, so good thing you asked....ut oh. After another few (seems longer than that) minutes  I am 'invited ' over his lap.
      As soon as I am settled, he starts in with the maintenance paddle,  my head pops up and I say...loudly...you forgot my warm-up.  He grins and says you asked for maintenance..not a warm-up. I start to reply and I hear....I don't feel like being accommodating today.  Four sets of 25 later He is done and is nicely rubbing my bottom, loving the heat that is being generated.
      Time for the spanking bench, Master asks if a flogging would help me smile:)!  He starts with the smaller flogger, swishing it all over, stopping for some flogging on my back, working his way down my body, yes I am relaxing and smiling.
He then moves to the larger flogger, any remaining tenseness is being pushed out and away, and I do not mention a word about his being 'accommodating'.  
        Next I feel a much harder sting....the split tail leather strap...small, but tiny.  "did not want  you to think I was being too accommodating"....After a few sets, he asks if I would like to end with the large strop.  Although it looks intimidating it is one of my favorites, and on an already very warm bottom, I quickly say...Yes Sir!  He stops after each set, to 'rub the honey pot', making sure I am fully enjoying the strop.  I hear 'last set', meaning harder ones, but I am so in the zone, they are just right.
        Master helps me up and off the bench....and decides it is time for him to be very accommodating...and several permissions later, we are snuggling and needing a nap!
     Have a good week all....snow is actually melting here....but might get a white Easter..ugh!

Orange Lacy Undies!

        When Master and I were first getting to know each other, we were always thrilled...and I was more that a little amazed...to find out how much we had in common.  One of the things that surprised us both was that we both love the color orange...One day he said that he had noticed that I wore a lot of orange, clothing and accent pieces.  My reply was...yes one of my weird traits it that orange is my favorite color. He laughed and proceeded to tell me that the car in the garage that is refurbishing....verrrryyyy slowly...when he is ready to paint it he has already decided it will be orange.  I almost did not believe him...but yes, he loves the color orange.
     A couple weeks ago I had received a couple of coupons to a department store, one was a birthday coupon and the other to entice me to go back and shop there...together they added up to 30.00 dollars...so it worked!  I decided I would buy something for myself, and avoided even looking in the children's or book department.  I decided I would look for some thing that would make Master smile.  I have looked for orange lacy things before...trust me, they are rare.  It took me about 20 minutes of searching...and was about to head to that book department, when I found them...orange ...real orange not reddish or yellowish orange, but positively orange lacy undies...more than what I would normally pay, but I had coupons:!
  Fun Friday is the day I decided to surprise him....I put on a sheer black lacy bra and the lacy, orange, boy cut undies..and look in the mirror and think...yikes I look like it should be halloween...lol.  But I knew...hoped...that would not be Master's first thought, so I went with it.
   Master is telling me to get naked and kneeling, while He is looking around in his toy bag. I undress and strike a pose..something I never do...and He turns around is about to say something...and then his eyes light up and he gets this big grin.....no, he is not thinking about halloween.  He very much approves. 
     He has me kneel between his legs, he has my little wheely thingy...and uses it on my breasts.  Up an down, around in a circle, and then settles in on my nipples.  Criss/crossing them each time a little harder.  I am starting to squirm, and then pant, when he asks if I am enjoying...no answer necessary...he does find the proof that I am.
    Time for me to get on the spanking bench, and he decides to use the restraints. He starts off with his belt, doubled then single.  Once I am used to the sensation, I am relaxing into the smacks.  When I start ouching loudly, He switches to the large leather strop....one of my favorite toys.  It is bigger and wider than the belt, but I think that makes the pain not so concentrated, and I am relaxing into it quickly.  After a few sets Master decides it is enough..I am not so sure, but I am more than ready for other activities:).
    Master releases the restraints, and massages my body, before helping me up.  And yes...we do get comfy and move on to more fun, pleasurable activities:):):)
    Have a good week all.....don't tell mother nature, but we might actually warm up a bit this week, and no snow, finally!

FFF update :):)

      I have read a couple updates, looks like many of us had a good week.  Thanks again to Fondles for putting this together, it is motivating and fun to see everyone's  updates. I was a little worried about this week, but my back was feeling better by Monday so was back to normal by Tuesday!
De-cluttering...was hoping to go through my closet and sort out the winter clothes and take out the spring ones...but Mother Nature said ...not yet...UGH.  So, I have this shoe box filled with greeting cards for every possible holiday and situation.  I always tend to end up in the card section when I shop, you know the..I might need this very card some day...thought.  I went through, saved the ones I know I will use...and am donating the rest to a local school for special needs to use for art projects..or for the teachers to send to someone...
Walking...My back limited me on this, but it was feeling better on Monday and I got an OK from Master on Tuesday so I did get 3 days in...and am headed to walk the circuit after this.  If only Mother Nature would look at the calendar and realize it is almost April...time for spring and walking outside!!
No sitting binges...Once again, had to sit out a couple days because of the back...but started slowly on Monday and have kept it up:)!
Weight loss....Yahoo...loss 2 pounds!!!!

A Variety Spanking....

       My first title for this post was 'Maintenance Tuesday'...I knew I had used it before, but  titles are getting hard to come by and I figured probably no one would notice.  But I could not live with it...so new title...
      My back was 'twitching' over the weekend, so I applied heat,took tylenol, and moved as little as possible.  I have had it 'go out' on me, and that is no fun.  Monday it was a little better, but neither if us wanted to risk it.  Tuesday it felt normal, and I insisted it was fine, so Master said he would help me whenever I had to move, and if I felt even the slightest twitch, I was to tell him immediately.  I did promise, and all went fine....well except for my bottom.
    Master helps me with kneeling, and He is claiming me, touching all of me, concentrating on my nipples for a long time.  My eyes are closed, I sometimes try to convince myself that if I can't see it...it will  be easier to accept. Then I feel a totally different sensation and my eyes pop open.  My little 'wheely thingy' has someone made an appearance and he is using it up, down, across, around, over the middle...my breast.  As he continues he increases the pressure, enjoying the slight marking it is leaving.  I am starting to let him know that it too much, when he asks if 'the girls' need some soothing...I nod my head.  He is soon, licking and sucking and 'soothing' them, but I am starting to pant...too much soothing... since there has been no maintenance yet.
   I am over his lap, expecting a hand warm up, and i feel a different sensation...I pop my head up, Master is grinning.  He is using the small leather paddle, he says I often say that this paddle reminds me of his hand, and is one of my favorites...he is correct on both points.  All too soon , there is not mistaking the feel of the maintenance paddle.  The usual 4 sets of 25....hard spanks.
    Master then asks if I think I will be comfortable on the bench...it has great support so I say yes. He shows me he has figured out a way to drape a towel off the back end....so there is not need for a rug clean-up ( smart man that he is). He helps me get up and on it, with directions again, to immediately let him know if i feel the slightest discomfort from my back.  He has chosen a smallish all leather strap and it is just right.  Too soon he stops and says, I have been promising you something.
          I look at him, not knowing where he is going.  He laughs and says...you always want to forget all about this. He is putting on a rubber glove and lubricating it...and the light bulb goes on.  He has been a mentioning that it has been a long time between fistings...and yes, I do try to ignore that conversation.  
            He reminds me that relaxing is key...yeah....and also reminds me that I love this first part.  Master knows that getting me all wet..and lubricated on my own....will make everything much easier...and it do love this part :)! When I am ready, Master tells me he thinks the bench positions me just right, all open and waiting for him.  He starts, one finger, two.........more stimulation...three fingers.....and then finally four.  Master then tells me He is going to put His thumb, into a different 'hole'.  I hear....all mine...as He starts to move his fingers and his thumb.  Between my wetness and his lubed fingers, and the movement, it does not take long before I am trying to voice the words to ask for a permission...Master laughs and grants a permission...or a few.  When I am just laying on the bench, spent, Master remarks...having that towel there was a great idea, much easier clean up after your mess....he laughs and assures me..he loves 'my mess'.
      Master helps me up, and pulls me into His lap, he asks about my back.....what back??  We snuggle and recuperate and finally decide...time for food!
    And....yes thanks to Katie, I have managed to give the blog a somewhat new look...the never ending hope that spring will soon be here!

FFF7....finally!

    I know I am making it a habit of being late for these...being tardy is not usually one of my faults.  
     FFF...not a stellar week, but Master has stepped in...and promises all of you he will be 'encouraging' me in my goals....
     De-cluttering...I was going to go through my closet and sort and make a donation bag and get the spring/summer things out...but we had another storm...and maybe another one this week....we are way over 100 inches for this year.
     Walking....I did get in the 5 days...and as Master always tells me to do...I did put a 'wriggle' in it...as opposed to a stroll..in it!
     No sitting binges...50/50 on this one...no excuses here, I just have to do it...
       Weight loss...none for this week, and I am still about 2 pounds above my lowest...so I need to do better...

A BIG SHOUT-OUT to Katie who spent over an hour with me trying to solve the problems with my blog.  We did not solve the not being able to get into some blogs, although I discovered today that I can use some of the links from Fondle's updates to get into a couple.  She did help me back every thing up and showed me how to navigate and update..she was sooooo patient! If you do not hear from me in a comment it is because I am still working on getting into your blog....
We did have maintenance on Monday this past week....on the spanking bench for the first time.  I am comfortable on it, and realize that not everyone has a bench built to their needs. I found that I prefer to be on Master's lap for maintenance.  It is a hard spanking, and I need the closeness that being over his lap gives me....
Later in the week, I found myself back up on the bench, for a caning.  Master did start with a wonderful hand warm-up, that had me so relaxed.  Then the first swish of the cane, followed by a lot more...no way can I keep count.  I found that being on the bench...even without being tied...does make it a lot easier for me during a caning.  No attempt to try and move and I can still be LOUD  about the ouchiness.  Finally, Master is pleased with the 'design' he has created and He steps forward to rub out some of the burn. He then decides to see if spanking my pussy will have the same effect as last time...when I came and gushed...repeat, repeat.  I can report that yes...a caning does not diminish my reaction to being on the bench, freshly spanked, and having Master hand spank my pussy....go figure!  
Hope you all have a good week...and I am hoping that we will not get any more snow this week...ENOUGH of that white stuff!

HELP!!! Please!!

        Blogger is not welcoming me back!!!  First I had a problem getting into my own blog, I have to go to my list of entries, hit view blog, then accept terms button...that was annoying, but doable.
   Then when I went to read MorningStar's blog, I could not get access...I thought that was strange, but figured if I gave it a day or two it might just be a glitch.
    Now, I also cannot gain access to Amy and Eric's blog....anyone having this problem...and anyone have any suggestions...I am holding my breath to see what blog seems to block me next....

FFF 6 and more....

         I have been away....more on that to follow...so this FFF update is not the usual...
De-clutter...nothing has been sorted or discarded, in fact I did bring a few new things back from my trip.....and since we went where the weather is much warmer than here (where it just keeps snowing) my closet is now stuffed with 2 seasons of clothing.
No sitting binges...I aced this one while away...mostly just sat to eat, and the few times we ended up playing games for a bit.  Other than that, I was on the go...go...go!
Walking 5 hours a week...More than doubled this one...
Weight loss....well, in spite of all that walking, I gained 1.5 pounds, something to do with ice cream and buffets and lava cakes...you get the picture...
But, I am back 'in the saddle' so to speak, since otherwise, I have been told my bottom will be too sore to sit on a saddle.

I spent the past week in Branson, Missouri with 3 college friends.  Npne of us had ever been there...it was a great choice.  It was off season, so some of the places were not opened, but we had more that enough to do...and the traffic was not crazy and we were able to get last minute tickets!  We saw 4 shows, toured an underground cave that was amazing, shopped at an old fashioned Main street, drove an ATV on a very muddy trail (this one has a long story attached to it...we did not plan on this one) and all needed long showers...ate at a large variety of places, with a variety of food...went to the Titanic Museum, the building is a replica of the ship....on my birthday had an amazing brunch at the College of the Ozark's where they train chefs, we ate for 90 minutes, they sang to me, and got my own chocolate lave cake...yes I did share. We laughed a lot, recalled 'old times', explored new places and already have decided we will do it again...some place new to all of us...next year.
Master welcomed be back with the traditional hugs...and not so traditional (for some) spanking.  Over his lap, for a delicious hand warm-up followed by that darn maintenance paddle...4 sets of 25. Then I was up on the spanking bench, starting with his belt...then the large strop....the pooh paddle..and finally snuggling and loving.
I have slowly started to catch up with all of you, since SNOW seems to be the only work the weather man knows lately, I will have more time to see what you all have been up to!

FFF 5

.......or FFT since it is Thursday.  I wanted to get my report in since I am off in a few hours for a long anticipated vacation.  I am meeting up with 3 college friends...it has been way too long...for a week of fun...in Branson Missouri .  Thanks to Baker for some great ideas to add to our fun!  
     Declutter....while I was packing, I did some more weeding out the closet.  M ...and my daughter...get after me for wearing clothes that are at least 2 sizes too big...they are comfortable.  So...there is another bag of donations for when I return.
   No sitting binges...I guess this is the one I really have to work on, I was the least successful at this ...I just seem to get too involved in what I am reading or watching or that darn crossword puzzle.
    Walking 5 hours a week...nailed this one, with some to spare...and I am guessing this next week, this might be the only one that I am successful with completing.
    Weight loss...down a half a pound...I will take it!
I am getting out of town just in time...that storm is due here starting tonight...at least a foot of heavy snow...stay safe all of you in the path of this one....
Have a great week...

Squirting/Gushing.....

         Master has added to the spanking bench.  There are straps for my wrists and ankles, and also around my waist.  I was not surprised, since He had mentioned it, but I had also said I did not think they were necessary, since I am pretty good at staying and place...and laying over a spanking bench would take effort to move.  Master said let's try them and see what you think....and I have to admit, not having to concentrate on not moving out of position, allowed me to be much more relaxed...well as relaxed as one can be on a spanking bench, and a Master with an evil grin.
        Before the spanking bench came into play we had maintenance...I sort of thought we would use the bench.  But, it seems that maintenance is a ritual that is not to be messed with...so, some kneeling time, then over his lap for a much too short hand warm-up, and then four sets of 25 with the small, but mighty maintenance paddle.  
      Next, it was time for the spanking bench.  Master made sure I was 'strapped' in securely, and after a few adjustments I was comfortable.  Master started with a double tail strap, I was having a tough time adjusting to it, and M did not like the sound of it, so it was quickly discarded (thankfully discarded to my way of thinking).  Master then had the large leather strop, on a well warmed bottom, it is much more to my liking.
       One of the things M likes best about his new 'creation' is that while I am quite comfortable on it, it also leaves me open...legs held apart, all of my bottom fully accessable.  Master worked his way through several 'toys' switching from wood to leather.  Before starting a new toy, He would check to see how wet I was...always making sure, that he added a bit to that.  
            I was hinting that it was time to move on to another activity, when M decides to hand spank my pussy.  I am soon needing a permission, I sometimes like to see how close I can get...but this time I was ready...and he was not quite ready to give me permission.  Finally he senses that he really needs to act...and I am told to cum for him.  
           (Way back when Master and I were in the early years of our relationship, I 'squirted' for the first time. I was not a 'young chick' by any means, and had read about squirting, but just figured it was not something my body was interested in...then, it happened.  I felt myself squirt all over the bed for the first time, I quieted, trying to figure out what had happened, and as soon as it did, I hear M's voice...congratulating me, telling me what a good girl I am, how much he loves my reaction to him, how wonderful that I reacted this way, (until we had to lay on the big wet spot).  It does not always happen, but does regularly, for the most part.)
       Back to yesterday, I feel myself squirting and he continues to spank, and then I feel a huge gush of liquid...he is still spanking, so it is spraying all over me, as I start to cum.
When I am just laying there trying to remember to breathe, I hear M say he needs to go get some towels, and returns with some nice fluffy ones. I am just laying on the bench, as Master wipes and dries me, and then the rest of the mess we have created.  Once I am back to earth, M releases me and helps me up and pulls me onto his lap.
      I eventually ask Master...how should I describe that...as gushing, it was certainly more than a squirt. M laughs and says, it was like you were a geyser, so gushing seems like a good word. Not sure how much that spanking bench had to do with my reaction, or if all the stars had aligned just right for me.....whatever, M and I spent the night with hugs grins....

FFF4 post

   I am a day late...how is it that now that my children are grown and I am retired from teaching, the days seem to fly by faster, and I get less accomplished?  This was a fairly good week as far as goals...
Declutter...Since I am going to be needing some warmer weather clothing for a trip, I decided to work on my closet and cedar chest.  I have two bags, things I have not worn in a couple years, clothing that I loved once upon a time, but really no longer fit....so all I have to do now is get the bag to the donation center...that will be Monday.
No sitting binges...not my best week for this one.  Problem is I get involved in something and the hour goes by, and I am into the second hour.  So, I will set my phone as soon as I sit, until I get a new fitbit to warn me.
Walking 5 hours a week...check!  Had to walk mostly at the walking circuit, or at the mall (where I tend to walk and shop) since Mother Nature is reminding us that it is still February, but I did get more than the 5 hours in.
Weight loss...stayed the same , but I know that happens, and it is not a gain, the main thing.
You all seem to be doing great...so on to a new week !!!!

Spanking Bench....

    Master is 'handy' in many ways.  Besides the obvious, he also is a excellent at wood working.  He loves being in the basement and creating a new bookshelf or piece of furniture or a surprise for someone.  Earlier this year he had been hinting that he was working on something for me.  He would not answer any of my questions, so I sort of forgot about it.
      We actually succeeded in having maintenance on Monday this week..:).  After a way too quick warm-up, the maintenance paddle is put to work, four sets of 25, with a nice break for some rubbing between sets.  When we are done, Master has me thank him. 
       Master gets up and says he needs to get something for me from the basement.  I give him a confused look....he laughs and says, stay where I am and no peeking.  After a few minutes, I hear him coming up the stairs, seeming to be carrying something heavy.  I was told to stay put, so i wait for him to appear.
          He walks into the room with a huge grin and a spanking bench! I am laughing and very surprised. He put together a saw horse shaped benched, screwed the pieces of wood together so it is very sturdy.  The main part that i will be laying on is covered with a large leather covered piece of thick foam.
The arm rests can be adjusted for height and are covered the same way, and the leg panels are also adjustable with the same leather covered foam.  
         He invites me to try it out, I climb up on it, the arm and leg rests are in the perfect spot for me, and I feel very safe and secure laying on the body of the bench.  Master says he is thinking about adding ties for the arm and leg rests, and maybe a belt to go around my body to keep me still, if necessary.  
       Time to test it out...He decides to start with the flogger.  He stands behind me for a set, then starts to walk around the bench. He is laughing as he says, I can give you a 360 degree flogging!  Seeing as I love that flogger, sounds like a wonderful idea to me.  Once he has walked around a few times, I feel the sharpness of his cane.  I realize it is much easier to stay in place and not move while laying on the bench, which is another benefit.  
      Master then proceeds to pull out more toys...just to keep testing them to be sure, they can all be used correctly...yeah, I was not buying that line either.  When he is satisfied that the bench can be used successfully with a variety of 'toys', he decides I should thank him for my gift.  I try, but the height is not working to our advantage...if I know him..and i do...he will soon find a way to adjust the height.
         Master helps me off the bench, and we move on to snuggles and hugs and...well, you know.  Master asks if I like my present, I assure him that I do indeed...He says... good, because I expect you to be spending a lot of time on it...hmmmm.
   Supposed to be 70 degrees here tomorrow...in February...HURRAH!!  Only going to last one day , but I will take it!

Weekly Update....

    In addition to a FFF post, I decided to include an update to my week.  Truth is I had all intentions of posting most of this, but just never got to it....
    So, maintenance did happen...the usual routine...100 with the maintenance paddle, dividing into 4 sets.  Yes I was vocal, and yes my bottom was hot and red and yes we ended with a more pleasant activity:)!
    We celebrated Valentine's Day 'our way'.  I chose to present Master with his whip...his favorite.  He loves that darn thing.  We did start with a warm-up, then I was leaning over a pillow, comfy, until the first strike.  They were not especially hard...they do not need to be.  Master stopped frequently to rub and massage, loving the feel of the heat, and tracing where the lashes had landed.  The last 10 were harder...Master was very pleased that he used the whip...I was very pleased it was over.  My turn, and if you have been reading here at all, I am sure you all guessed....the large flogger.  M let me choose my position, and I settled in for 100 with the flogger...ahhhhh....all thoughts of the whipping forgotten.  We then moved on to a more 'traditional' celebration.
     FFF...I was a little apprehension of the weigh-in this morning.  I felt I had slacked a bit this week...
Goals....declutter...I have this ...looks like a file cabinet with no drawer, just divided into 2 shelves.  The bottom part has a large square basket...it is where I 'file' everything.  Mail, lists, cards, you name it.  It was pretty full.  That was my project for this week.  And I did it, it is almost empty, and I found a place for all the 'stuff'...some of it in the waste basket, I must admit...
No sitting binges...Out of the 7 days I did great for 3....okay for 3, and was out of the house a lot for the 1 day left.  Room for improvement...
Walking 5 hours a week.....Got in 4....yesterday, it was finally a sunny day.  I put on my boots, since all the melting has left huge puddles, and walked...for over an hour...it was nice to be outside, and I tried a new, longer route...and had fun sloshing in the puddles.
Weight loss, this one I was worried about, since my daughter went to me favorite bakery and gave me 2 of my favorites.  I did divide them in half, and they lasted 4 days  but....And to my surprised the 'diet gods' were on my side...down 1 pound!!!!
To top off the week, I had my 6 month check this morning...and all my numbers were in the normal range...cutting one of my meds down from 2 to 1 a day....

So a fairly successful week....thanks for all the encouragement....it sure does help!

FFF Friday Report....

      I enjoyed reading the reports for the first 'get fit' week. Looks like we are all making strides to wellness, and I know that it is easier with a wonderful cheering section!
My goals...
    Weight Loss....I did lose 1 pound this week, I am pleased with that, since in weight loss slow and steady wins the race.
    Walking 5 hours a week...I did meet that goal and a bit more, part of it was walking at the track....4 times 50 minutes each time...and as M reminds me every time...I put a 'wriggle' in it!
   No sitting binges....I did great with this one....had some short binges during the evening, but was up every hour walking very quickly around the house for 10 minutes...added to my circuit walking, there were days I actually walked 80/90 minutes...and it does feel to get up and get some movement going.
   Declutter...did not do as well on this one...I have been de-cluttering for a while now....but was hoping to go through a whole closet...where I believe the kids still have stuff hanging ....and did not get to that...next week for sure!

So thank you again Fondles for getting us organized.  And..if anyone is interested in intermittent fasting, Fondles has done some research for us and has links in her post for today.  I found them interesting with some great information.  

On to week number 2!!!

Super Bowl Bet Pay Up Day...

        Most of you know that M and I enjoy wagering on the Red Sox/Yankee baseball games.  Over the weekend, M suggested, since it is not yet baseball season, we bet on the Super Bowl.  Even though I grew up in the New England area, I am not a big Pat's fan, but Master said He wanted the Eagles.  I quietly said , Yes Sir...and inside was thinking...YAHOO....I am in for a nice pay off...........
       M told me to set up the terms....He always just goes for the winning person gets to choose the toy and as many spanks as there is scoring...I tend to make it a bit more complex...lol.  So I came up with, 4 separate spankings. 1 for each quarter...if the Pats were ahead the spanking would be leather based, Eagles ..wood.  What ever the total score for that quarter, would be the number of spanks.  Now , I was thinking a fairly low scoring game..(good thing I don't place money on wagers)...so I said, 1st quarter, score times 4, 2nd quarter, score times 3, 3rd times 2 and 4th just the score..
So....for the first time in a very long time...the Pats did not lead at the end of any of the quarters...
         M is not a big football fan, but He did think this was the best game ever...Monday was pay up day.  I had done the math, and was thinking, well at least maintenance will not be needed.  After just a little more gloating from Master, I was kneeling...being claimed as His.  Master then says, maintenance first...I tried to argue my case that it was bet day...but it was Monday, and maintenance happens...no matter what.  So, I convinced myself that, at least it would be a warm-up for what was to follow...
        We started with the maintenance paddle, four sets of 25, a nice rubbing between each set, each set a little harder.  After a break, where I tried my best to distract Him from what was to follow...tho it never works, it is fun trying:).  Score for first quarter was 9--3, times 4...48 spanks.  Master told me to get the Paddle Man paddle...it is long and heavy ....I was not pleased, but I handed him the paddle and presented him my bottom.  I did not have to count, and the spanks were firm, but not overly hard.  Of course, M decided that properly thanking him after each spanking was included in the bet.
     Second quarter score was 22/12....times 3 equaling 102 spanks.  Master decided on the shamrock paddle, since I could be over His lap...a nice place to be.  It is shaped like a shamrock, on the heavy side.  Master divided the number into 4 sets, stopping for a 'tushy massage' ...his term...after each set. After I properly..or improperly...thanked him, it was time for 3rd quarter, score 29/26.
     That score times 2....110!  (Thank goodness baseball season is right around the corner..).  Master went a picked out a toy I had not seen before.  It was wood, long and not wide, light..and was embossed with...this stick for licking only...I laughed and got back over his lap.  Ends up (not an intended pun) there is a wooden toy that I like...this is it!  Master had planned on using this for the highest number, a wonderful plan.  The 110 went by quickly, and I made sure that the licking stick was returned to the top of the toy bag.
      Last quarter...41/33 ...equally 74 spanks.  It is shaped like Pooh's face, and his face is painted on...and it is on the heavy side.  I was over His lap, and once again the spanks were firm, and not overly hard.  M asked if I had enjoyed paying off my wager...and yes I had.  He was grinning....and suggested we should continue making certain that I had indeed a good memory of the super bowl wager....
      After a few orgasms...I can never count...and M was otherwise occupied....we both decided that the best part of the Super Bowl...the day after....lol.
Have a good week all...

FFF....Goals!

     I started today by reading the goals of others who are joining in on FFF...as usual I am glad I did, I added and adapted some of mine thanks for some wonderful ideas!
      My goals...
  1. Lose 12/15 pounds.
  2. Walk....Master always tells me to put a wriggle in it..meaning no strolling, ...and I am going to join the weekly goal (great idea)...5 hours a week
  3. No long sitting binges...I get involved in book, or crossword puzzle or book and just sit.  I need to get up and moving every hour.
   4. Limit myself to one 'treat' a day.  One of the grands sent me some white chocolate popcorn she made...OMG...sooo good. Only 5 kernels a day for my treat til it is gone.
   5. And..I am going to join the decluttering trend.  Twenty minutes a day, going through a closet or an unused room and making a donation pile.

Good luck to my fellow FFF's, I am cheering you all on...
And of course, thanks Fondles!

"Belting" Out A Song*

    **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....

Tis the Season...

           Tis the season for so many things...hope you are all putting aside some time to just enjoy and share with friends and family members.  This is a catch-up, catch-all post...
.......Maintenance this week was on Tuesday...After my naked kneeling, and re-claiming time I was over Master's lap. He is reminding me, that no matter how busy I am the rest of the week getting ready, I am to remember that I am not in this alone, that I belong to Him, and to keep breathing.  As Master was telling me this, He was also warming up my bottom..He is very good at multi-tasking.   He tells me He will be using one of my favorites, the rose leather paddle for maintenance. WOW....that is good news. I relax and enjoy...those words rarely go along with maintenance.  When He is done, I am on my knees thanking Him (and this time I mean it...lol).  Then Master announces, time for his favorite....ut oh....that usually means His whip.  I was right, He has me get up and lean over a pillow, and He is whipping my back..I am not quiet, I don't think there is such a thing as an easy whipping.  When He feels my back is nice and toasty and striped He gives me a nice back rub, just as I am relaxing, He announces that He wants to whip my bottom...He does not think that has happened in a long time ( not nearly long enough to my way of thinking).  He leaves my bottom, very tingly and sore. 
...........There are some questions from the meme going around that I have not answered...so here goes.. Katie's question...Pick something to talk to your partner/spouse about related to spanky business during the holidays. What would it be?  We have had this talk...splurges are allowed, been when He taps my hand or gives me the 'look' I do not need another cookie or whatever it is I am reaching for.
Tersichore's question...Do you enjoy listening to Christmas music? Do you have a favorite song? I love Christmas music, and love to sing (my version of sing) along. My favorites would include, "What Child is This?", "Joy to the World" and "White Christmas".
Ronnie's questions...colored or white lights?..your worst present?   Well, neither.  I have the frog tree, the decorations are all mostly green or have some green on them, since they all either are frogs or have something to do with frogs.  I found the decorations got loss in a green tree.  So I use a white tree, and because of my theme, I use all green lights.  The tree is chock full and at night when the tree lights are on the tree seems to glimmer...it is quite pretty...at least I like it.
Worst present..hmmm....well, a gift card to a grocery store, it was useful, but not personal.
Rosie's question...Fairy or star on top of the tree? Would you believe a frog angel...yes there is such a thing.
Meridith's question..What is planned for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners?  Christmas eve....everyone gets to choose favorite munchie or appetizer, and we make those and munch away all evening.  We get quite a variety, and the grands love that they get a say. Dessert is chocolate fondue! Christmas Dinner is more traditional, usually a ham or turkey, altho this year, I have made lasagna ahead of time and it is in the freezer..that way we just have to make a salad and some garlic bread. Dessert is a birthday cake for baby Jesus.
Ella's question...Has your tree ever fallen down? Thankfully no.
I think that covers all the questions...
.......(chapter 3...if you are still reading)...The first set of grands arrive tomorrow, Master wanted to be sure, I at least started the week, with a warm bottom to remind me that perfection is not necessary, and to ask for help.  I did tell him that my bottom was still sore from Tuesday's maintenance, He nodded and said good, we will be layering the soreness, it will last longer.  After my kneeling time, I was over His knee, and He nicely started with His hand and I was already squirming.  He switched to a shamrock paddle, and I was quickly getting vocal.   He did stop for some soothing rubbing, but it seemed like forever before I heard..enough of that.  
My relief was short lived, as He told me, the rest of his plan ...a striped bottom to keep me calm during the week ahead.
He had me lean over a pillow, I was complaining from the beginning, as He was telling me , these were the light ones.  He did give me a couple breaks, where I was challenged to distract Him from continuing..I did my best, but it did not deter Him..Finally, He is admiring His 'art work'...my striped bottom...tracing the stripes, kissing them, lightly rubbing them, until I start to squirm for another reason. When we are both sated, we wonder....how soon til bedtime..lol...not soon enough.
....and finally...I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas....I hope you get to see some of the wonder of the holiday through the  eyes of some special  young ones, that all of you who are struggling for whatever reason, remember that it is a season for miracles, and as my sore bottom will be reminding me....it will be wonderful even if not every item on my list is crossed off, and I do not have to do it all myself....Enjoy and make some wonderful memories!

Maintenance...Variety Style

                 BRRR...Winter has arrived, and since it is nice to have a white Christmas, I will let it stay until then...yes I am a little delusional.  We are headed to my daughter's tomorrow, and on Sunday meet up with my son's family. We seem to be on an every other year Christmas outing to NYC. We see the morning Rockettes' Show, ooh and ahh at the beautiful Rockefeller tree, have lunch and see something new.  
         Maintenance this week was on Thursday, Master said it would be a variety maintenance.  I was not sure what that meant, but knew it would start with some naked kneeling time. Master was using His hands and voice to remind me that  no matter what, 'all of me, all of the time...HIS'.  As soon as I am relaxed, Master has me get over his knee, and He starts with a hand warm-up, while we are still chatting a bit.
The maintenance paddle always seems to just appear in His hand and He starts in lightly...it has been more than a week.  Four sets of 25, rubbing between sets, each set a little harder...I settle into the routine.  After the last set Master tells me time to 'thank him'..I am up and on my knees, enjoying His taste. Master is also making sure that I am enjoying, using His fingers to get me 'all wet, soppy and messy'...His description.
       Just as I am thinking permission time...Master says to me...today is maintenance---variety style.  He tells me to go to His bag and get a leather toy for round two. Round two ..of maintenance...I look at Him trying to wrap my head around this idea of His. He tells me ...we could repeat round one first as He picks up the maintenance paddle. I get up and moving, looking for my favorite rose paddle, as Master is telling me to decide or He will.  I cannot find the rose paddle, but do find a black leather paddle, hand it to Master and get back over His knee. Different paddle, same routine...4 sets of 25 with a stop for some rubbing  after each set, and me 'thanking' Master at 100. 
        Master then tells me to get a wooden paddle out of His bag.  I think about telling Him, He already used wood when He started with the maintenance paddle, but know better, He would probably use it again and still have me get another wooden one.  I am looking for the lightest one I can find, first one out is a shamrock one....small, but heavy.  The next one I find is the 'My Paddleman'...my gift to Him a few Christmases ago.  I put it aside, but the next one is a mahagony paddle same size, but heavier.  Master is giving me the..decide!..look so I choose the paddleman one. He is surprised, but pleased at my choice.   Same routine...third time.
         I am thinking..hoping...we might be done.  Master says, one more since we have missed quite a few. The only different paddle left is the acrylic one, I am not happy, even on a very warm bottom, it HURTS!  Master surprises me, and asks if I would like to get the flogger out of His bag. No need to ask me twice....He tells me to stay standing and lean into the mantle of the fireplace. Same routine, He starts off with lots of swishing and very light....ohhhhh, soooo nice.  Each set is heavier, but I am in my zone, enjoying the sensations. After the last set Master is rubbing my back telling me how nice and warm it is.  I am so relaxed....and I hear...turn around, put one hand under each breast and present them to me.
      Not words I love to hear, but I am mellow and know that it will happen.  I close my eyes, since otherwise I flinch and get out of position.  He is still using the flogger, but not at full length.  One set of 25, with only one warning not to cover my nipples and Master is please.  Master knows that ending with the flogger will have me practically dripping and just about ready to ask for a permission.  Master decides I should 'simmer' a little..as He stirs the pot and makes sure I will explode on His command.  I am soon begging for permissions...and as Master said much later.....that was one..or two...or three...for the books....I just nod as I snuggle into Him content, satiated.....and ready for a nap.
