Mmmmmmm.......

Tuesday is here and it's time for the M's!

If you didn't read my last post, please, scroll down and read it. I posted it yesterday afternoon and since I didn't get any response to it, I have a feeling everyone missed it. Either that, or is sucks!

Now, on to the M's....

Bossman: I know my alphabet and I know that Bossman doesn't start with M. BUT, Bossman isn't his real name. (You knew that, right?) His real name starts with M! Bossman is my hero. He's strong, handsome, gentle and kind. He's smart and funny and handsome. He's extremely talented on the guitar. I couldn't have asked for a better soul mate and I love him with all my heart. He's my best and favorite M! I am a lucky lucky girl!

M&M's: Chocolately goodness that melts in your mouth and not in your hand!

Marriage: I have had great success at the marriage thing. I highly recommend it!

Monkeys: I love monkeys. They are fascinating creatures, so similar to us.

Money: I LOVE money. They say money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure does buy peace of mind.

Mothers: I love my mother. She's such a great lady. Life hasn't always been easy, but she's always done everything she could for her kids. She's got a great life now and I am very proud of her! Speaking of mothers, I happen to LOVE being a mother. I've enjoyed motherhood so much and it's hard to let them go. The wildchild doesn't need me as much and the little man is getting older too, so I know my time is short with them, but I will always be their mother. I am honored that I am their mother.

Moon: I love the moon. So fascinating, so romantic!

Men: I do like men. Strong handsome, dominate men. Mostly I like MY man!

Marshmallows: Can't wait to go camping this summer, roasting marshmallows are my favorite.

Music: Someone once told me to try and go 6 months without music. HA! This is an impossible feat. Nobody could do it. Music is everywhere. Radio and TV are obvious but heck, it's in stores, it's on websites, it's ringtones, it's in elevators, restaurants, stores, offices. You name it, it's probably got music! Thank goodness because I LOVE music! My hubby plays guitar, my wildchild has the voice of an angel and I just like to sing! Music is in our house and in our blood. Even the little man plays guitar! The world would be a dull place without music!

Mountains: I am so lucky to live in an area with mountains. We've got mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. I couldn't live in a mare beautiful place and I try to always remember that. I am very lucky!

Well, I think that's enough M's for today. Don't forget to keep scrolling down and read my last post. I would love to hear some of your thoughts and opinions! Of course you could just give me your list of M's! Or maybe you could do both?

I'm not greedy!

What did you find?

PK, from New Beginnings, said she found herself when she started looking up spanking and blogs on the internet.

I suppose I could say that I found myself....but did I?

Sure, I found things I wanted to read. I found people I could relate to. I found interests that were similar to mine. But did I find myself?

I think I found part of myself. I found the part that I thought was weird and unnatural. I found the part that I was embarrassed about and couldn't share with others in my "real" world.

But I don't think I found me.

See, me was here all along. I just need to acknowledge her. I needed to let her out and let her hair down. I needed to express my feelings to the one person in the world that would understand and wouldn't look down on me for having those feelings. Sure, it was great to read about others and their experiences, but I wanted my own experiences. It's nice to get validated in the blogging world, but that wasn't enough for me. I needed validation from my real life partner. I needed Bossman to validate me.

As for blogging, it's wonderful to find a world in which we fit in. Although to me, the blogging world is sort of a fantasy. Unless you are reading an account of a "real" life story, the stories are pure fantasy. Nice, but impractical when trying to incorporate them into your own life. Too many times I've been disappointed because real life NEVER turns out like the fantasy. Not that fantasy isn't good, but sometimes we put too much hope in thinking that we can make our lives like the stories we read on the blogs.

Turns out, we can't make our "real" partners think or feel the same thing that we read about in the stories. Not only that, but we are unprepared for our own feelings. Fantasies don't begin to describe how angry you might feel. So when you DO feel angry, you don't understand it. I wanted this. I asked for this, so why do I now feel angry about it?

Fantasies don't begin to describe how you feel when your partner doesn't spank long enough, hard enough, too hard, too soft....how your partner doesn't spank evenly on both cheeks. Those are not the things that make a good fantasy.

Even when you move away from the fantasy and you read real life accounts, your real life is NOT going to be the same as mine. Things that may work in your relationship, may not work in mine.

Reading blogs is a great way to get ideas, but don't try to read to much into them. Try stuff, but remember, you and your partner have unique feelings that may not match what someone else was feeling. What works for me, may or may not work for you.

I wouldn't want you to leave here thinking I'm down on blogs. I am not. I've met some really great people doing this blogging thing. Internet friends are awesome. It's great to talk to people that HAVE felt the same things you've felt. It's great to talk about how mean our partners are when they use the backscratcher needlessly. It's nice to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts about spanking. These things can't be done in the "real" world. At least not in my world. So, I come here. I don't really find myself. I find others. And I LIKE the others! Actually, if I get right down to it...I find myself on MY blog, but I find other like-minded souls on their blogs. I take what I can from each of you and I hope you take what you can from me. It's all about the give and take.

And the spanking.

So, what did you find?

Ponderisms

My mom sent this to me and since I have nothing to write about I'm such a good friend, I thought I'd share it with you.


I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

Never take life seriously Nobody gets out alive anyway.

There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

Life is sexually transmitted.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die..

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt.

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Who thinks of this stuff anyway??? (I added this one...)

TGIF

I find myself looking forward to Thursday nights so I can post my Friday fill-ins. I like the challenge of thinking of new things each week. I would love it if you would try a friday fill-in, if you don't want to do your own blog, do them in my comments. Or have a great weekend...

Or do both!



ffi
1. Apparently there's some sort of chores that Bossman wants me to do and apparently if I don't do them I get spanked.

2. Monday was a hot sunny day. Today was sunny but not so hot.

3. 2009 has been interesting so far.

4. Bossman tried the backscratcher that was it. Now I can't pry it out of his hands!

5. For too long I've been putting off cleaning the bathroom.

6. I am not obsessed with spanking; I am not!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to eating tacos, tomorrow my plans include going to a friends for potluck and Sunday, I want to relax!

Do I?

Life has a way of surprising you at moments when you don't expect it. Or maybe it's not life, it's Bossman, that is doing the surprising.

So, Bossman has taken more of an interest in spanking me lately. Would love to say these have been good girl spankings, but that would be lying. What I did to deserve the spankings really isn't important here....what is important is this......

What does Bossman use when it's not a good girl spanking? The BS! (back scratcher, for those not paying attention.) Why does he have to use that? We have a nice assortment of spanking implements. We have a nice wooden hair brush that has hardly seen use, on hair or butt. We have a bath brush, which is evil, but not as evil as the BS. We have wooden spoons, wooden spatulas, paint stirrers. Yes Friends, we have all kinds of wonderful implements to choose from. So I ask the question again...Why the BS?

So, the BS is the worst of the implements. So what if the BS makes the best impression on me. I realize that I'm suppose to be learning a lesson and that spankings for bad girls aren't suppose to be enjoyed...but...but....

Ok, fine! I know the answer to the question. But I don't have to like it.

Nope, I don't like it one bit!








Or do I?

La la la la la

I'm thankful for all the L stuff in my life. Things I'm thankful for include....

Life: Life is a fleeting gift. We must cherish each day of our life. We should remember to love our family and be thankful for each of our loved ones. Life is shorter than we realize. Seize the day!

Las Vegas: D is in LV. We had such a great vacation last week. We smiled, we laughed, we hung out at the pool and we rode scary rides! We enjoyed life.

Laughter: I love to hear my kids laugh. I love hearing my husband laugh. I really love laughing. Life is much better when you have laughter in it.

Love: What's to say about love? Love is deep, it's emotional, it's complicated, it's simple. It can take your breath away and it can make you breath deeply. Love is everlasting and fragile. Love makes the world go round.

Lover: I only want one and I've only had one. I'm pretty sure that makes me lucky!

Lips: Kissing the lips of my lover makes my life complete.

lollipops
: How many licks does it take to get to the tootsie center of a tootsie roll pop?

Lessons: It's good to learn lessons. If we didn't learn our lessons, where would we be?

Language: I don't speak another language. I wish I could. I love listening to other languages. It makes our world a richer place.

That's all I've got for today. Now go, enjoy life!

Friday fill-ins and a quick update

ffi


1. Join me in celebrating life.

2. Put a little spanking in your day!

3. Happiness is coming home from vacation and petting your cat and sleeping in your own bed.

4. Blonde and confused.

5. I'm waiting for a cure for cancer and someone to do my laundry (in that order please).

6. Cheesecake is hard to resist.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to catching up on all the shows on my DVR, tomorrow my plans include cleaning my house (yuck) and Sunday, I want to enjoy being home!


As you can probably tell we've made it home. We had a great time and we enjoyed spending time with D. I'll tell you more about the trip after I've had time to catch my breath. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a picture. This isn't a picture we took because someone (I won't mention names... (wildchild) forgot the camera in the hotel room. BUT, the wildchild and I rode this ride. After searching for this picture to post I had to ask myself...AM I nuts?



The answer is...YES!

Vegas

Just a quick update from Vegas!

We are having a good time. We hung out at the pool all day Monday! Tuesday we went to D's cancer support group. Can I just say, these people are amazing! They all have cancer stories, but they weren't sad. These people are helpful, loving, caring....just AMAZING! D is so lucky to have such a warm welcoming place. We were honored to be there and they were very happy to meet D's family!

We are coming home on Thursday. Hope you all are having a great week.

HUGS!

A K kind of Day

We are in Vegas. I'm sure I'm having fun. I mean it's Vegas, so I must be having fun...right? Well, when I get home I'll let you know how much fun I had but until then, I've pulled the K's out of my archive. September 5th 2006. I'm sorry, that is probably cheating but after reading this list, I don't think it is cheating, I'm still grateful for all these things! So enjoy my K's and enjoy my blast from the past.


Anyway, on to the K's. These are just some of the things I'm grateful for today. But mostly I'm grateful for Bossman. And spankings. And school. Oh, I forgot I've got a list of K's, so here they are!!!

Kittens are great. We are having a blast with ours. He's such fun to watch. He's curious about the world around us, yet he's just like a toddler, getting into everything. He's amused by a shoe box, yet he's content to sleep where ever he gets tired. Did I mention how cute he is??

Kites are so much fun. I remember the wonder in my childrens eyes when we took them to fly a kite for the first time. I remember them holding on to the string extra tight, so as not to let it fly away.

Do you remember drinking Kool-aid when you were a kid? My mom would never let us drink soda, but there was always plenty of Kool-aid on hand. My favorite flavor? Pink lemonade.

Bossman is the keeper of my heart.

What would I do without my kids? They make me laugh, they make me cry. They are a gift from God. **Update, my daughter just called and landed the lead part in the school play!

Kit-kats are one of my favorite candybars. I like to eat them by layers, biting off the top layer first and working my way down. Come to think of it, I tend to eat alot of stuff that way. Some say that if you take apart your food while eating it makes you a better lover. Not sure if that is true, I'll have to ask Bossman about that one.

Hugs and kisses are a great way to show how much you love someone. I'm lucky, I get hugs and kisses A LOT! My son never forgets to give me hugs and kisses before school. My daughter hates giving me affection, but I think she likes it and won't admit it. Of course Bossman gives me as many hugs and kisses as possible, and I really enjoy a nice hot kiss from him.

The knowledge that there are others in the world that enjoy spankings as much as I do makes me HAPPY. How did I ever come to be this happy and comfortable in my spanking life without the internet and the knowledge that others don't think I'm weird? Knowledge is a great thing.

A lot of people consider spanking kinky. I used to think that kinky was a bad word. Not any more, I LOVE kinky!

Well, have a great day. I know I am!

We are off again!

Once again we are off to Vegas! We are leaving on Sunday morning and we will be coming home Thursday night.

All this means is I probably won't be posting much. For some reason most hotels in Vegas don't give you free wi-fi. We are staying at the Hilton. They want to charge me 15 bucks a day for internet service. YIKES! I-don't-think-so!

D has internet at her house so I may pop in briefly. But I doubt I'll post anything. I will check emails though.

Don't worry though, I've got my list all ready for Tuesday. I love that blogger will let you decide what day to post things on, so I don't have to post it myself.

D is doing ok. She had treatment a week or so ago and she says she's feeling better. We don't know what treatment they will be doing next. She will probably be going to Texas for further treatment. There is a cancer hospital there, so that's going to be a good place for her to be. I just hope they get on the ball and do something quick, for the tumors on her lungs are just getting bigger.

As for our trip....we plan on taking it easy. Lots of sitting by the pool and hanging out with D. Nothing to strenuous. We just want to relax and enjoy.

I hope you all have a great Easter! Ours will be spent on the road. It takes 6 to 7 hours to get to Vegas from our house and we are leaving bright and early Sunday morning. The kids Easter baskets are full of candy and DVD's and video games for the kids to watch on the way there.

Ta ta for now!

friday fill-ins

ffi

Last week, Anonymous left this comment on the Friday-fill in site: "*sighs* The last two of these have sucked royally...I love this thing, but now I'm having to go back in the archives and find ones that aren't totally ridiculous and moronic...". This week, I'm dedicating #1 to Anonymous :-)

And...here we go!

1. Anonymous... If you are going to complain, don't do them.

2. Cancer is a horrible thing.

3. Let me embrace thee, sour adversity, or I could just curl up in my shell.

4. New babies (Congrats Amber-Grandma!) and flowers are what I look forward to most about Spring.

5. Who needs therapy when there is cheesecake and cheetos?

6. Cadbury Eggs and Peeps MUST go into the Easter Basket!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to coloring Easter eggs, tomorrow my plans include singing in church and Sunday, I want to make it to Vegas in less than 7 hours!

The J's

It's hard to find things to be thankful for when life is so hard. I've felt the urge to stay in my shell. I don't want to face the world right now, for the world seems cruel and sad. Dealing with D's stuff has forced me to think about my own mortality and I don't like it!

But....in the midst of all this turmoil there are things to be thankful for. There are plenty of J's to be thankful for. Just thinking about being thankful makes me feel a little better about the world. For even when the world seems cruel and sad, there are things to be thankful for.

J: My son's name starts with the letter J. He's such a good boy. He's handsome and sensitive. He smells like a dirty dog when he's been playing hard. He's messy and unorganized and smart. If you walked into his classroom, you would be able to pick out his desk in an instant. It would be the one with paper on the floor, books shoved in any which way and jackets and backpacks shoved under it. He's the Peanut equivalent of Pig Pen and I love him to death. He is passionate about cats. When he has time and has someone to take him, he will go to the Humane society to pet the cats. He is caring and loving and the world is a better place with him in it. (Can you tell I love this kid???)

Jelly beans: With Easter just around the corner, you can't get away from Jelly Beans. Oh I love them. Jelly Bellys are the best.

Jesus: Well when one thinks of mortality, one tends to think of where they will end up when their time comes to leave the world. I happen to believe in Jesus. Sure, not everyone believe in Jesus. But I do. 'Nuf said.

Jokes:A blonde and a both jump off a cliff at the same time. Which one will hit the bottom first? The brunette, because the blonde has to ask for directions.

Q: What do you do if a blonde throws a grenade at you?
A: Pull the pin and throw it back.

Juice: I always start the day with Orange Juice. I love it.

Junk food: I am a junk food junkie. I love cookies, cake, chips. I'm not big on candy bars, but just about anything junk foodish is good with me.

One of the LA gang starts with J. I am very grateful for the LA gang and I really am grateful for J!

In order to keep things light and fun, I found one of my favorite songs from Sesame Street. This originally aired in 1971. Oh my. Things were a lot simpler back then.

Enjoy this J day! I'm certainly going to try!

Friday Fill-ins



1. Angel or not, I will still go to heaven.

2. Take me any way you want me.

3. As my mother used to say, you're full of spit and vinegar.

4. I always wonder what I was thinking after I'm done working out or doing something strenuous.

5. Even in the most crowded of rooms I always look for Bossman.

6. Every day is a day fraught with peril.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to doing nothing, tomorrow my plans include doing more nothing and Sunday, I want to sleep in and do more nothing! (I haven't been able to do nothing on the weekend for a LONG time!)

News Flash

Continuing the celebration of the blogaversary! This was posted in September of 2006.

This is a spanking news flash!

Spankings hurt.

That's right ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first, spankings do hurt.

Studies have shown that using a paint stirrer or wooden spoon on a persons gluteus maximus in a repetitive fashion, does, in fact, cause pain.

As a matter of fact, if used too long, the pain in the derriere could last for more than 24 hours. Side effects of a spanking include, redness in the buttockal area, soreness when sitting, submissive tendencies toward the spanker, unusually high sexual arousal, strange need of another spanking. Other, but less frequent effects are extreme dislike of wooden spoons and sore stomach muscles.

Specialist in the field have recommended that if your going to receive a spanking, you should try not to receive that spanking the day before having to sit in stadium bleachers for any length of time, as this will only prolong the soreness.

A lesser known study was conducted recently on people who were spanked before a sexual act and after a sexual act. A recent researcher spanked his subject after giving his subject an unusually strong orgasm. The subject reported that the spanking was extremely hard and hurt a lot. The researcher reports that the spanking was in fact, not that hard, and the subject was just being overly sensitive. Two days later, the researcher gave his subject a spanking before engaging in any sexual conduct. The researcher discovered he could give the subject a longer and harder spanking without nearly as much response from the subject. The subject, on the other hand, reports that indeed the spanking was easier to take, but this spanking was a lot harder and caused the her buttockal region to be sore for a much longer period of time. The subject did report that the orgasm after the spanking was, in fact, phenomenal.

That is all the time we have left for this news flash, we will now return you to Spanking with the..., I mean Dancing with the Stars.....
