Throwback Thursday....Title: In the Beginning December 2002 ....first posted July 2010

****I am working on a post on my thoughts on your comments from my last entry....It might be in 2 parts....hoping to get part 1 done by the weekend.

I am out of town for a couple weeks...so my blogging will be the start of a look back to where Master and i have been.

Spanking...it was a word i thought about often..too often..tried to visualize..tried to banish from my head...finally i decided to find out more..so i typed the word into a search engine..Oh My! Reading about spanking..only made me want it more...Why could i not get it out of my head??

From thinking i progressed to searching on-line...and finally to emailing a few online friends..mostly dominants...

That is how Master and i started..on line, sending emails, phone calls..and finally agreeing to meet. Even as i agreed i wasn't sure i could do it..go and meet Him...yes He had been understanding, and funny, and interesting, and the first time i heard His voice, i was enthralled, just by the sound of it (still am!). But still...me..go and meet with someone that i had only met on-line???

We were meeting late one afternoon, He gave me the choice for beer or coffee, without really thinking about it...i chose beer. He laughed and said good choice. I arrived at the place a few minutes early, and sat in the parking lot for 15 minutes, trying to decide if i could actually go in and meet Him. I finally talked myself into the free beer.

We talked for close to an hour, i think. Actually He did most of the talking, and i remember thinking...yikes..He uses the work spank in every other sentence! The sound or tone of His voice, His sense of humor, and His understanding of how i was feeling, won me over.

The man i now call Master, gave me my first spanking...using only His hand and over clothing, but it was a spanking...and i was thrilled! I could not believe i had actually been spanked...worse i had no one to jump up and down with and share my news.

I went home thinking finally! finally!..now i can forget all about this spanking business, and move on..i really did think that. Of course, a couple days later, i was wondering if i could get a second spanking on how soon could it happen...a spanko had been born!

At the time in my life when i thought i would be "settling in" and looking back on my best years, i was starting a brand new journey,,,one that i still wonder at, one that would take me places i had only imagined, and a few places i never could have imagined!

Stay cool everyone...til next time

100 Spank Challenge.....and a question from Master....

       Amy gave me another wonderful idea for a post....thanks my friend...so please give her the credit...(Not my fault Baker:)...
          Seems that many of you had not had the fun of experiencing 100 spanks for a spanking.  Now, if you have been reading here for more than a month you all know...for me that is barely a warm-up.  But I think you all are missing out on something.  I am challenging all who read here to experience 100 spanks for a session.  Now, there are no other rules, so have fun with it...you can use just a hand, or just a 'toy' of your choice...or 5 different toys...or  try something totally new.  Position is your....or the spanker's choice.  And as an extra bonus...you get to have something to blog about and let us all know about it!  I will post a 100 spank "honor roll", in a couple of weeks, to give you all time to complete the challenge...(If you already have been spanked 100 times or more...please join in...just do it again , say it is for the challenge and post)!
        Another, sort of related, topic.  Yesterday was maintenance day for us.  Now, I would like you all to think that, by now, I kneel and get re-claimed, go over his knee and quietly submit to the spanking....and sometimes that happens.  Yesterday was not such a day....and for no obvious reason.  We chatted, I knelt for Him and then was over His lap.  There was a -too quick to my way of thinking- warm-up and Master started in...100 with the maintenance paddle. They really hurt, right from the beginning, and I just could not adjust.  I started complaining loudly...he was spanking harder than he usually did, it was too hard, ...you get the picture.  After 25 he did stop for some rubbing and we chatted about why we do this, about how it has helped us in a number of ways, and it happens every week.  Second set of 25 and I am no calmer and just as loud.  Half way though M tells me to kneel for him so we can chat and he can calm me.  Time for third set, and altho I still think they are harder than usual, I am not quite as vocal...more rubbing and then last set, which is usually the hardest, but felt about the same.  I did make some remark about finally finished....that was hard.  
        So we talked, about maintenance, about why we have it, about the positives....we are both committed to it, so there is at least one spanking a week...and often we end with a fun aspect, I have not had a punishment spanking (basement visit) in a long time since we started, it is a way for us to re-connect in 'our special way'.  Master then suggested that maybe once month maintenance should be more in the form of a punishment spanking...to remind me.  I would be in the basement, I would be bent over a chair, and that *****big paddle would be used for 100.  Needless to say, I am not in favor.  So Master suggested we put it to a vote, let all of you decide.  I quickly agreed (with a big grin).  Master noticed the grin and cautioned me not to be so sure of the results, there might be some bloggers who would be will to 'throw me under the bus so they could read about it'...yes his words.  I did not respond, but I am not all that worried.  So...I am asking anyone who feels incline to vote...once a month maintenance should be more of a punishment type spanking, yes or no....we will both agree to the outcome....no grudges held.
       I am off early tomorrow morning...I want to surprise the youngest grand by showing up at her Spring Concert at school.  I have surprised the three oldest in such a way, and now it is her turn. The program starts at 1:30 and I want a front row seat so she can see me, so I need to get going early.  Have a wonderful weekend all.....I will be looking for your votes on Master's suggestion when I return.

Thanks to Amy..."How Does He"?

         "Borrowing" this from Amy...thanks my friend for a great idea for a post.

       1. How does he let you know a spanking is coming?
                Sooo many ways.  M has been spanking me for...18 years...does not seem possible, but I went back and checked...yes we were babes when we started....LOL.  At first spankings were..once in a while when we could both fit it in.   Finally we got smart and decided since we were both so busy...we should schedule a once a week spanking.  Hence Maintenance Monday's...which still don't always work out.  We also added Fun Friday's...which sometimes work out.  Other times he gives me 'the look' and the crook of a finger....or simply invites me over his lap.  There are the times, I walk into a room to see 'toys' all laid out...

     2. How does he choose an implement?
                 For maintenance it is always a hand warm-up followed by 100 with the maintenance paddle...a smaller wooden paddle, medium weight.  Other times, he declares an all leather day (not often enough :), or if we have a base ball (or other wager) going..whoever wins gets to decide.  If we are roll playing he will choose something appropriate for that, other times, he just chooses what he wants or tells me to get whatever leather or wooden implement I want from the bag.

     3. Does he lecture?
           Usually only for punishment spankings (sometimes for roll playing, if it is appropriate).  I assure you...I was a junior high teacher, so I could good give a good scolding...M surpasses my best lecture by far.  I swear he does not even breathe, just spanks, talks very  loudly, occasionally has me answer a question, repeat and repeat...those have become rare....and no, I don't miss them.

      4. How does he position you?
             We almost always start with me over his lap.  It is my favorite position.  From there it depends on what he is using.  Often for the flogger or cane, I am leaning up against a fire place mantle, or leaning over a piece of furniture, often with pillows for support.  At times, he just has me stand in a certain position...like with my hands behind me head.  Fairly often, we start over his lap...and end with 'a more fun activity' in various positions...:))))))

   5.  How does he spank me?
         Hmmm...however he wants.   Except for maintenance it varies.  For maintenance, we start out with my naked kneeling, where he touches pinches, rubs, every part of me, reminding me that I am all his.  At times he might ask me a question or two...just to keep me in the moment.  The I am told to get over his lap, and after a hand warm-up, the maintenance paddle is use...100....and if we have missed a week....200.   He almost always does sets of 25, before he stops for some rubbing, and sometimes to ask me....why do we do maintenance ....half way through he tell me to kneel and and take a break while I thank  him for my maintenance...and again at the end of maintenance.

    6 .How does he take care of you afterwards?
         There is always aftercare.  He is good with words, he will tell me how proud he is of me, how thankful for the gift of my submission that I offer to him, etc....He is constantly touching me, all over, until my breathing is normal, and he asks if I am ready to get up.  (Usually my getting up, is to move into a position where we can both enjoy each other's bodies:)! After a punishment no orgasms or permissions are given...he has a few times, brought me to the edge, and denied permission after a punishment to make a point.  

     7. How often does he spank you?
           Ideally...at least twice a week...It is why we started scheduling maintenance, and yes even play spankings.   It is wayyy too easy to let the rest of life get in the way, with family, with work, with friends, etc, etc.
We waited a long time to find each other, are so grateful that we did, we try to celebrate this special connection we have. We have had a few weeks where we decided it would be a week of spankings, one every day.  There have been long lapses between spankings, for health reasons, because distant family needed help.....but we know, in the 'end' my bottom and his hand will re-connect.... 

Thanks again Amy....

F/F report...etc....etc..

      I am going to start with the F/F report, and then add some catch up items....
   Walking....I have actually stepped up on the walking, a bit.  Spring  has finally arrived...that wonderful not too hot, not too cold weather, the makes me want to be outside.  I found a new route...and it is longer by about 15 minutes...and a couple of days, I walked twice..once the longer route, then the shorter one I had been doing...
   Sitting binges...Doing well here....sitting less in general it seems.
    De-cluttering...I did something quite different....the bedroom is looking great...bureau tops are neat , shelves look organized...but I have 3 boxes of jewelry.  Now, some of it are things I love and treasure...but a lot of it is....the holiday stuff I would wear to school (I have pins, earrings, necklaces for every holiday...and could wear a different item on every day of the week all of December...also lots of jewelry with a frog theme...and some things, that I am not sure how or why I have them.  So, I laid it all out on the bed...and really, I wear minimal jewelry.  So, I had 3 smallish velvet pouches (not sure why or how I have these, but there were with the jewelry) and made a pouch of jewels for each of the grand- daughters. Some of it the 'costume' jewels...but each also got some of the nicer ones.  I tried to match them to their personalities.  I figured I will add a note to each one...and voila!!...I have started my Christmas shopping.  
    Weight....I gained 1/2 a pound.  Each set of grands made me some special goodies for Mother's day...chocolate chip cookies from one, and orange chocolate short breads from the other set.  I have been eating one..or two..a day from each...but the rest are being frozen as I type.  Also my daughter made chocolate lava cake for dessert on Mother's day...Oh my..enough said.
Now for the etc's....
    We had maintenance Wednesday this past week..After my kneeling time and a hand warm-up it was paddling time.  Four sets of 25 with that darn maintenance paddle.....I would love to 'lose' it....but am wary of what the replacement would be.  Master did take breaks after each set of 25, and rubbed my bottom nicely.....I am not sure if he spanks harder with each set, or my bottom gets more tender...He says it is the latter...I think it is a combination.  When he was done, he said I could pick out anything I wanted out of toy bag.  I looked at him and said...anything??...with no consequences....Hmmm, so not like him....so I rummaged around the bag for a bit and came up with the smallish, oval, beaver tail paddle...I love it.  Master chuckled and said I would hardly feel it after maintenance...but I said, I was going for some other sensation besides a sore bottom.  He chuckled again, and said no problem. And soon, that paddle did just what I intended...I was panting, and wet, and badly in need of a permission or more.....
     On a totally separate topic, life has been busy, which is good and I am not complaining.  I had pictured retirement as having lots of time to do just what I wanted, or to do a lot of nothing....I am not good at a lot of nothing. I love that my days are no longer spent, trying to convince 6/7/8 graders the importance of good grammar and writing skills...altho I loved the literature part of the curriculum. Also the fact that I  no longer have the urge to throw my alarm clock every morning, since most of the time I no longer need one:)!  But I have been busy...a good busy, but busy. Besides keeping up with friends and family here...I was looking back at the calendar this year, and realized I was gone at least one week, sometimes two out of every month so far....and June, July, August and Sept....are already booked. I was thinking, well, fall and things will slow down...Oct., Nov., and Dec., were wide open. 
   Last week my son called, and asked if I had plans for October yet...at least he has learned to plan early. I said no, the calendar is wide open...so he asked if I could stay with the girls for 7/10 days...He and his wife are both turning 40 and want to celebrate with a trip...I asked where, and he said they were thinking of Iceland....that was a surprise.  So I said sure, let me know when you have exact dates...On Friday morning, I was talking to the oldest grand before she went off to school, when my daughter took the phone and said to me...Fred and I had dinner with some friends we had not seen in a while, and are talking about a vacation with them, probably some time next October, figured it was long enough away you would be free.  I laughed and said...call your bother, be sure your dates don't overlap, and I would like a long weekend home before the two 'gigs'.  Retirement...not what I imagined, but is some ways, much better.....
hugs to all of you...

An Open Letter to the Red Sox....

     Dear Red Sox team,

   Hello, I am abby.   I have been a fan...for as long as I can remember.  I would listen to your games on the radio when I was a teenager....cheering for Yaz....my favorite player of all time.  I remember my first time at Fenway, seeing the team in person, the green monster (that wall in the back field), singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game, it was all I had hoped for.  I have been to a few games over the years, and last year my son took me to a Yanks/Red Sox game, a bucket list item for me.
     I moved from the New England area to New York after college, but my loyalties remained with my team...the Sox!  I watch all the games that I can, have a Red Sox banner in my flower bed, an ornament on my frog tree at Christmas, I am all in.
      Somehow I managed to find a Master who is a Yankee's fan....can you believe it?  When we were getting to know each other, it was not baseball season, and by the time it was....well we were both 'smitten'....guess no one can be perfect. So we each cheer for our own team as we watch the games.
      We often wager on the games...no, not money.  We wager on spankings....yes you saw correctly...spankings.  The terms vary, but if the Sox win I am smiling and enjoying some fun play time...if they lose, my bottom pays the price.
        This last series, you...'my boys'....let me down.   Those damn Yankees won the first game, 3/2...at least it was a low score.  Master got to choose the 'toy', I was thinking he would choose the 'my paddleman' paddle, but he chose the acrylic one.  Five runs scored for 50 spanks with that darn paddle.  I was leaning over, and my bottom paid the price for the losing effort.
         Second game, and you let me down again. this time the score 9/6...times 10...that is 150 with the implement of Master's choice.  I was thinking...he loves his whip, and it rarely comes out to play...I was right...it came out to 'play'.  Master made sure I was comfy, pillows to lean on, and He yielded his whip, on my back, my bottom, a few on my thighs, sets of 25. He nicely stopped and gave me a delicious rub down after each set, but the sting was not so nice.  I was very verbal, but that never deters him.  Since he can be sympathetic, He gave me a gift of stopping at 100, and taking out the large leather strop for the last 50.  I do love leather, and after the whip, I was thankful for the kiss of the strop, even though, my bottom was hot and achy.
       Finally, game 3 and the team did not disappoint.  It was close, but 'we' won! The last part of the spanking was my choice....and Master was not at all surprised that I chose His flogger...100 all over my back and bottom, with some wonderful swishing in between sets of 25.  It was dreamy...and of course led us to.......celebrating in a way that we both could enjoy.
       So, the next time the Yanks and Sox play, please know that it is not only the players' batting average and the team's ranking in the standing that is at risk....it is my bottom...and as a life time loyal fan,  I expect more of the flogger less of the whip, please.
thank you abby.

FF catch up time....and more...

      Hi all, let me re-introduce myself..I am abby...and I have missed you all,  life has been keeping me very busy...some good, some not so good...life in general.  I am back, and determined to get back to at least once a week blogging...I might even ask M to help me out with that..;).
    My time in Boston and Maine was filled with lots of family time, and fun, and special meals, and ice cream and laughter....remembering wonderful times from the past, and making lots of new memories.  I came home exhausted...and M then had to be away for a week.  
    I think I have missed 3 FF updates, so I am going to give a general review.
Weight loss...I returned home only 1/2 pound above where I left, and as of this week, I have loss  1 1/2...YAHOO!
      Walking.....While I was away, I had some wonderful company on my walks..all or any of the grands who wanted to come along.  They are a funny bunch...they would challenge me to keep  with them, and make up sections where we skipped or walked in a different way...the walks were not boring! Since returning, I have also kept up with the daily walks...just in a more adult...and boring...way. (Don't want the neighbors to think I have gone completely daft).
      No long sitting binges...did not have to worry about this with the grands around...dance parties, games in the back yard....etc.  I have not done as well since I have been home...I blame all of you, trying to read and catch up with all of you...Master raised an eyebrow at that excuse.
        De-cluttering....since being home, I have been on a mission with this one.  Started when I was thinking at the beginning of this week that it had not snowed in a week, and I could change the closet back to spring/summer mode. Usually I wait until after Mother's day, since when I was a good scout leader I took my daughter's troop for a camping weekend.  We had a great time...til we woke up Sunday morning to over 6 inches of snow.  Bribed them with a McDonald's breakfast if they could get us all packed and ready to go in less than 20 minutes!  (it worked).  I started with my PJ's...I could not believe I had 8 pairs of winter PJ's..not including night gowns.  My daughter walked in and cheered....and asked if I was going to also clean out the closet. I said yes..and she said great I will help...everything that is more than 1 size larger than you are wearing now is gone!  I started to explain...when she said...do you want to be known as the 'frumpy grandma'...I stared at her. She continued, the over sized things made me look frumpy and the grands were getting older and clothes conscious...she then added, you are keeping them as a safety zone..in case you gain again...that is the wrong thing to think. You can keep the one size larger ones...they will be your warning that you are gaining and need to be more careful.  At first I was not thrilled, but she made sense....so about an hour later, I had 2 of the very large garbage bags filled with clothing...and a closet with space for new stuff:)!
      I also managed to get myself into a bit of trouble since I have been back.  While M was away, I sort of 'forgot' some of my rules and did distance myself a bit.  He was not happy when he returned, so this past Monday, was not only Maintenance day, it was 'reminder' day that I am always accountable. After my naked kneeling, and lots of chatting about reverting to old habits..and how that is not allowed....the maintenance paddle and my bottom became re-acquainted.  It was, as always, a hard spanking, and I was loud in letting him know it hurt...no, it never deters him.  After, he nicely was rubbing my bottom and we were chatting a bit about how much we missed each other and I was thinking that maybe I could encourage him to move on to another activity..when I heard him chuckle.  
    I was told to get up and choose a paddle for my 'reminder' spanking about staying close.  I am ruffling through the toy bag, ....there are no good choices, and I hear the...you choose in 1 minute or I will choose, and add spanks since you could not choose.  I quickly pick up the shamrock paddle, it is a little larger than his hand, on the thick side, but I was thinking it is one of the smaller paddles, and I could be over his lap during the spanking.  He does say he is surprised at my choice, I explain the over his lap thinking...he tells me to get ready.  These were hard and fast...no breaks...just spanks and scolding. I had almost forgotten what a good scolder he is...he is loud, has lots to say, and barely takes time to breathe. Finally, he is done, and we are both catching our breath....before we move on to a more pleasurable catch-up activity...where we are both left breathless.
   My next post will be baseball related...sort of.  Those of you who have been reading here a while, might remember that Master is a 'damn' Yankee's fan...I was born with Red Sox blood in my veins.  It is one of the few ways we do not agree.  We used to wager on the games, make them more interesting and change up our spanking routing at the same time.  We stopped for a bit, but have decided we missed it. The teams are playing this week.  So far the Yanks have won the first 2 games...last night's game was 15 runs...I was counting on low scoring games when I set the terms for the wager.  So far tonight the Sox are ahead...let's hope they don't let me down...and stay tuned for a report on the debt pay-off.
Still trying to catch up with all of you, seems like I am always in catch up mode. 
hugs...abby

Maintenance...FFF 11...and time for that 'grandma hat' once again...

               It's been a busy week.  Master had to travel for the 'wonderful' project, Mother nature needs to get some tranquilizers ...we switch from season to season daily, and I was busy getting ready to grab that grandma hat and be away for the next 10 days.
                Maintenance was on Wednesday.  Starting with my naked kneeling, and Master reminding me that no matter what is happening it our lives...one constant is, I am His, and he will take care of me.  He decides to focus on my nipples...pulling, pinching and squeezing..going from light touches to much harder ones, smiling at my squirming and the 'noises' that seem to come out of my mouth.  Master asks what I would like to happen when he is done with my nipples.  He expects me to think, come up with, and voice an answer...I finally mumble something like soothe them. He chuckles and asks if I want him to soothe my breast ...I am nodding as quickly as I can.  He pulls me into him, and starts to use his mouth and tongue to soothe the pain away.  He succeeds but does not stop, so now I can feel myself trying to calm down my breathing, not pull away and ignore the fact that I am starting to squirm, because another need is building.
            He knows what is happening, so stops just long enough to tell me there is one way I can make this 'sweet torture' stop, then returns to his mission of soothing. Through the fog, I register his words and know ...he will stop when I ask for maintenance, and not before.  My problem with this is if I cum from this 'soothing' without asking, then maintenance becomes punishment, and no soothing or permissions...something I have...so far...managed to avoid.  So I ask, rather nicely, if my maintenance spanking could start.  
         He pulls me up and over His lap and starts in with the maintenance paddle, I look up and before I can complain about no warm-up, he smiles...that evil 'domly' smile...and says, you asked for maintenance, not a warm-up, so I am giving you what you asked for.  My urge is to smack him, but I manage to resist, as maintenance continues, 4 sets of 25, each set harder than the last. He is rubbing and massaging my bottom as he asks if that is enough to get my through the next week, without getting into trouble....I assure him it is.
       He starts spanking me again, my head pops up and I start to complain..,he tells me to relax, he is using the beaver tail leather, one of my favorites.  It is nice. Then a different sensation, I recognize this one, it is the tingling sensation of my 'wheelie toy'...one that we had not used in forever and now seems to show up regularly (HURRAH!!!). I am starting to squirm once again, so Master tells me , I have not thanked him yet, for my maintenance spanking.  I start to get up, He tells to get on my side and he comes closer, so I can lean in and lick ....the kiss and suck...his cock.  
            I am then told to get up and present my bottom for a spanking.  He tells me 12 slow hard ones with one of the heavier paddles, something for me to remember next week.  He is a man of his word, they are slow and hard.  Master then decides to use the leather strop....yes this was a SPANKING, he wanted me to remember while I was busy being a grandma.  The leather strop is one of my favorites, on a well warmed bottom I can let go and just 'enjoy'...
           Master then tells me to come and lie down, he has primed me for some sweet, extended, loud and oh so very very good loving.  Yes I am soon off, several times, and I can feel myself squirting...a few times. ( If any of you wonder if getting older will slow down your sex life, let me assure you...it could just get better ;)!).  Finally I say, enough, He laughs and says...remember you called a halt when you are missing me next week.  He is right, I will be missing him....
          FFF11...
  De-cluttering, still have to keep clothing for all seasons in my closet, so no sorting out that mess, yet.  I did re-organize the gift wrapping storage part of the closet, since I was wrapping gifts to take with me.
   No long sitting binges....I did pretty well, I am finding that instead of getting up to walk quickly for 10 minutes, I sometimes take time for  a longer walk around the house, with a longer time span between them.  I figured out that by doing these walking breaks I am walking an extra 40 to 60 minutes a day...:).
      Walking, I did walk briskly....or as Master puts it..with a wriggle...for 50 minutes on 4 days.
       And...I loss 2 pounds..Hurrah!!  
   Of course keeping those 2 pounds off this coming week will be a challenge. I m leaving bright ....well maybe not so bright...and early in the morning.  An overnight in Boston, and then on to Maine.  We are all gathering to celebrate a couple birthdays, and even more importantly the Christening of the newest member of the family...my 2 month old great-nephew. 
I am also hoping to get some just 'me and my sister' time...
and having fun with some extended family time.

FFF 10

         I give myself a C+ this week.  Last weekend was so much fun..a birthday celebration, a day in NYC....we walked and went up stairways and down flights of stairways, we ate at an Alice in the Wonderland themed restaurant...where they just keep bringing you food, you don't even have to ask, we saw Alladin..it was great!  I was hoping all the walking and stairs would make up for all the food...it never seems to quite work that way.

De-cluttering....I have book shelves full of books, so this week, I attempted to be more critical of what I keep. My plan was to take the ones I have read and the ones that are way down on my 'I want to read list' and donate them to the library bookstore.  Trouble is...how do you tell a 'best friend' you are de-cluttering?  My shelves are neater, and I do have a donation bag, and I found a new project for myself...more on that in a later post.

Walking...I did at least 3 days worth in NYC.  I walked the circuit for 3 days...so pretty good.  I am hoping that sooner, rather than later, Mother Nature will realize it is April, snow every day is getting old, so I can get outside and walk.

No sitting binges...I do well with this during the day, evenings not so much....

Weight gain of 1 pound....I was a little disappointed, but I did 'cheat' on the eating plan when I was away, and that was the case last weekend.  This is a new week, and no traveling, so no excuses. Also I am planning a cruise with a girlfriend, we have been talking about doing this for years, and finally actually booked one in September. Master gave me a green light...adding...you will lose 10 pounds before then...added incentive! ( that and knowing I will be wearing a bathing suit)!

First of the month...again??

       I intended on writing this yesterday...and then we loss power.  Yes, it is still snowing and windy and COLD!! Last year, in March, we loss power for 6 days....so I was a little worried yesterday, but it was 'only' a few hours.  March was colder and snowier than February...and so far...April is trying to outdo March....all I can think of is...Calgon take me away....for those of you too young to know...it was part of a commercial for a bath lotion.
     The only thing hot yesterday was my bottom...over the weekend, Master had reminded me that it was the first Monday of the month...harder play Monday.  He reminds me for a couple of reasons. One being that if I am going to get a hard spanking, I am better able to 'adjust' if I know ahead of time and it is not a surprise, also He loves to see the look on my face, since I always seem to 'forget' that the first of the month has arrived.
     We started as always, with my naked kneeling and His claiming of me, calming me with his voice, his words, his touch....sort of like the quiet before the storm.  Then, over his lap for a hand warm-up, as he reminds me why we have maintenance spankings, and too soon, instead of his hand that small but mighty wooden paddle is circling my bottom.  Twenty five spanks, four sets later and he is calming me, rubbing my bottom, making sure I thank him, and then  asking me if I want the large strap or one of the larger paddles for harder play. That question was a total surprise, since  I am a firm believer..leather is always better!
        I get on the spanking bench and Master starts in with the large strop.  It takes a few before I adjust, but I do get to the place where 'all is well' and Master continues.  He stops and massages my back and bottom a couple times, until he drops the strop and I feel a very different sensation. He is using my 'little wheelie' all over. Up and down my legs, my back, my arms, my bottom, my pussy, until I am panting and squirming.
          M then announces that since it is harder play Monday, it is time for the paddle.  I do not see which one he has chosen, but it is one that covers both cheeks.  He does say only 10, but they will be slow and hard.....and they are.  Master starts rubbing my back and my bottom, getting me to relax, and moves on down.....'encouraging' me to let go, to cum for him, ...and of course since he insists (lol), I do.  Boy do I ever, I am squirting, not gushing, but several squirts, asking M for more, which he gladly gives me,  Finally I manage to utter...i can't, enough...and Master chuckles and asks if I am saying 'uncle...no more'...I nod my head.
         He helps me off the bench, and onto his lap, until I have recovered enough to  be able to talk and breathe normally.  Of course, then he starts to tease me....about how much I really do not like harder play Mondays...all of my reactions seem to disprove my words...hmmmmmm....not sure I can refute that...as I simply smile and snuggle in for some quiet time.
             More snow today and tomorrow and....over the weekend.  The only positive I can think of...I am going to need lots of 'warming up'!

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!!!
