I know it's not officially Tuesday...but in Australia it is. So technically I'm not a day early.
Oh well, it doesn't matter if I'm early, the news I have to share is so good, it just can't wait until tomorrow. I'm so incredibly grateful, I can't STAND it!
The good news? You want the good news?
Eh, you can wait for it! First I want to give you my X list. (HA, Amber...I AM going to do the X's...LOL)
X-ray: How glad am I that we have x-rays and MRI's and CT scans and such? Where would we be without those things to tell us if something is wrong? My SIL, D, would be dead without that kind of technology.
Ok, fine I don't have any more X's! BUT, I do have really good news and I think I'm ready to tell you about it now.
D is in Houston getting scans to see if the treatment is working for her cancer. I just got a call from her......
The cancer in her lungs is 75% gone! That's right! 75%! The cancer in her bile ducts is cut in half and the tumors in her liver has shrunk significantly!
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!
The doctors told her that they haven't seen anyone make this kind of progress in this short of time. She's only been on the meds for 2 months! They said she is the number one patient. OMG! This is so exciting I have goosebumps just typing this!
So yeah, We are all pretty grateful here in Graceland today! It's seems like it's a miracle! Miracles happen people! Hope is always there, even when people say there is no hope.
I know God had a hand in this. But whether you believe in God or not, it's still amazing! I'm so very grateful for the doctors and the scientist that made this possible. Sure...we don't know what the future holds. But we know that for now, the future looks AMAZING!
One more thing I'm grateful for is YOU! You have sent up prayers and good thoughts for someone you didn't even know. This is such a gift. Every thought and prayer was heard and appreciated. That's why I just HAD to come here first and tell you all the good news!
Take the time today to be grateful. As a matter of fact, take the time everyday to be grateful! There are so many things to be grateful for but it's sometimes hard to see them. Life is good...let's not waste a second being ungrateful!
It's not you...it's me.
Let's be honest...I am not in a blogging mood. I forgot today was Tuesday and so I didn't get a W list up. I barely remember to do the friday fill ins and frankly...
I'm not having fun on this blog anymore.
Look... It's not you, it's me.
I haven't had a thing to write about in a long time. Boring, mundane things like the new house (might have to be tented for termites), the kids, (still good and enjoying summer)or even Bossman, (still my hero) are not even keeping MY interest.
No, I'm not shutting the blog down. That would be liking pulling the life support plug on my best friend. So, I'll keep the blog here. I like knowing that when the world is rough, I still have a place to write my thoughts and get feedback.
But, you and I both know that this blog needs some life support and right now, I am not in the mood to give it that.
Really I'm just hoping that if I say all this, that some ideas will now come flooding into my brain and out my fingers and onto my computer screen.
A girl can hope!
All this really means is that I don't have a list for gratitude Tuesday and I'm too lazy to write one. This doesn't mean I'm not going to post. I'll still try to remember Friday fill ins...only because I enjoy them and I will TRY really hard to do an x list. (yeah, like x will be easy...LOL)
BUT... if I'm not around much, blame it on summer. Or laziness. Or Congress. I don't care who you blame, but don't blame me.
Oh and since I'm here....heres some really great things that I'm grateful for that begin with W.
whips (ok, I don't really have any first hand experience with a whip...but I think they are sexy to look at. Also, just a note...I don't really CARE to experience a whip. In case Bossman is reading this...)
whipcream Whip cream is very sexy. Plus it's very tasty. Don't you love squirting the whip cream into your mouth? LOVE IT!
Weekends Who doesn't like the weekend?
wonder I love the look of wonder in a babies eyes the first time they see something new. Just awesome.
winter I love cold winters, which we don't get much here. Fireplaces and hot chocolate make winter wonderful.
Did you really think I'd leave ya without a W list???

It's Friday!
The inspections went well! YAY for us. Seems now we just have to wait for the appraisal and then once the loan is secured we are IN. Although we are pre-approved, things can still go wrong...so I'm just not going to worry about it. (yeah, right!) If it's meant to be, it's meant to be...and if not...oh well.
I hope you all have a great 4th of July! Those of you across the pond? You can still have a great 4th, and 5th and...well you get the point, right?
Here's my Friday fill-ins....enjoy!
1. When I heard Michael Jackson was dead, I was shocked.
2. Spankings are best medicine.
3. It's late, but I always watch Will and Grace before bed.
4. Bossman is my soul mate, always.
5. My eyes have seen the work of God, and it was a miracle.
6. Bossman used the wooden spoon this week strongly.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with the family, tomorrow my plans include a 4th of July BBQ with my sister and family and Sunday, I want to just hang out with Bossman!

Updates
The wildchild didn't get into American Idol. She was there all day long and she said her group had a bunch of amazing singers and none of them got through. We knew it was a long shot. I am so proud of her. She has wanted to try out for years and every year there is a problem. She finally did it. It's too bad she didn't get through, but that's the breaks!
Other news....
D is doing GREAT! She's been on an experimental drug and she goes back to Houston in July to see how well it's working...BUT... she got a blood test back and the numbers were the lowest they've ever been! She was so happy she was crying! She had to tell me right away that it was good news because she was crying so much. So we are extremely happy with this news! We will know for sure how things are going in July. She has a friend that has been on this drug for 2 years and she is virtually cancer free. We are all very encouraged with this good news!
More news....
We are having all the inspections on the house today. So, if those are are good, we will be 95% home owners. Things can still go wrong with the loan, but our morgage guy seems to think everything will be fine. So, I'm getting excited. Our own house? I never thought it would happen. Of course, now that I'm getting excited and dreaming of painting and decorating...NOW something will fall through...right? Well, all I can do is hope and pray that it all turns out ok! I want this house! I can't wait to move into it.
Spanking news...
OUCH! Have I mentioned that spankings hurt? It's been a little while since I got one and uh, yeah, it's true what they say....spankings hurt worse if you haven't had one for awhile. Or maybe I'm just a wuss! OR, maybe it was the damn wooden spoon. But the good news is, we are still doing the spanking thing. And I am happy about it! Although, now that I think about it, I'm not so happy about it when he's actually doing it. No, I'm not happy about it at all. I'm ashamed to admit this but... I do whine and complain. I know, you are shocked by this revelation. I'm sure you are thinking that it's not possible that I whine and complain. I'm sure you thought that I take my spankings like a lady. HA! You couldn't be further from the truth. I'm sorry to burst your bubbles, but I can't help it.
Well, I guess that's all the updating I have for now. Are any of you as surprised as I am that it is already July? Where does the time go?
So, that's my update! How are you? What have you been doing this summer? Am I the only one that thinks spankings hurt?

V day
Today is the V's! Only 4 weeks of gratitude Tuesday left. Hard to believe that we've almost finished the alphabet. I've had fun with it!
So, let's see if I can think of V words that I am grateful for.
Vests? Nope, not really grateful for vests.
Valentines day? Uh, no. I think that is a dumb holiday that is just making the card companies rich. Why do we need a day to celebrate love? I think we should do that everyday!
I do like my vaccumm. We have a kirby...which is like the king of all vaccumms. It's so powerful that it's messed up the padding under the old carpet in our house. The carpet is super old...but still.
Villages are cool. When I was a child we lived in Germany. The villages are so cute there. You can be on the highway and then suddenly you go through a small village. I miss that.
I do like a good vacation. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are any vacations on the horizon for me. That's what happens when you buy a house. You have no money left.
I totally got into the Twilight seris so now I am in love with vampires! That Edward Cullen pushed all my buttons!
Out of all the flavors of ice cream in the world, I'm a true vanilla at heart! (hard to believe huh?)
I do love our vehicles. There was a time, not that long ago, that our vehicles sucked and we could barely make it across town!
I can't wait until this house is vacant!
What kind of girl would I be if I wasn't grateful for my vagina?
I love visiting Vegas! My SIL is there, (update on her tomorrow) and it's just fun. But my favorite part of Vegas? The valet parking!
So, I guess that's it for our V's! I thought it was going to be hard, but it turns out that it was easy once I got started.
The wildchild is in LA, as you read this, trying out for American Idol. Of course we all know that the chances are slim that she will make it on the show, but who knows what could happen. She has a beautiful voice, but they only give you about 30 seconds to wow them before they move you on. You have to jump through about 5 hoops and if you manage to pass through all of them...you get an audition with Simon and the gang. If the wildhchild does manage to pass through all the hoops tomorrow, she won't get the auditon with the gang until 3 or 4 weeks from now.
I know the wildchild can make it in the music industry. But she has to work hard at it and get in with the right people. Of course we all know how hard it is to make it in that industry, so.... who knows!
In any case, she's having quite an experience. She and her friend are planning on being there at 3 in the morning. Whatever happens, she'll have quite a story to share.
That's it for today...now go out and be grateful!

TGIF
Happy Friday Everyone!
1. She had a great set of knockers. (At least I think Bossman would say that about me...LOL)
2. Bossman is by my side, always.
3. I know this: Buying a house is stressful business!
4. Life is good, still.
5. These words apply to me: Stressed, happy, healthy and tired.
6. The day I got married the sun was shining.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having the youth group over, tomorrow my plans include hanging out with Bossman and Sunday, I want to try to not worry about the wildchild, who is heading to LA to try out for American Idol!

Guess what?
Looks like we are in escrow!
Ok, I'm not sure what that means. I mean, I know that I signed some papers saying I wanted to buy a house and I guess that means we are getting the house unless.....
We have 17 days to back out of the deal if we want to. We also have 17 days to get the inspection and the pest report. If both of those things check out well, the house will be ours. Unless the bank changes their mind and decides not to lend us money after all. So, yeah. The house is almost ours! I won't count on anything until I have the keys in my hot little hand!
~other news~
I don't have any other news. There haven't been any spankings lately, but then again, I've been a complete angel, so there has been no need to get a spanking. ;)
If I must be truthful...well, we just haven't had any time to think about spanking. Summer is here, so the little man is home a lot more and Bossman has been super busy with work and his band. Of course there is this little thing of buying a house that has us both a little stressed!
I'm not worried though. Bossman hasn't lost interest, we just haven't had the time. So, everything is good.
Now, who's coming over to help me pack???

You, you, you, you, you...I wanna talk about U!
Can you believe we are already on the U's? Seems like yesterday we begain this little journey to gratefulville!
I know today is the U's. I am grateful for things like Umbrellas, unicorns and underwear. (especially when pulling them down...LOL) I also am in love with unicycles, ukelelies and uncles.
But really I am grateful for U! I know, I should save this for a few weeks when we are on the Y's, but when you are grateful for something, why should you put it off. Tell the world, I say!
So, I'd just like to say that I am grateful for all of U. U make this blog fun. I am comfortable telling U things about my life knowing that U all will be supportive. I can bounce things off of U and U will tell me your opinions. I may not always answer my comments, but I read them and I think about them and sometimes I even take your advice. So even though we may not be real life friends, we are real life friends. I take from here and use it in my every day life.
So thank U all! U all are the best! I appreciate U all!
Now go...be grateful!

the weekend
Bossman went out of town this weekend. A business associate gave him VIP tickets to the Nascar race. Since there was only two tickets I decided to stay home with the little man and Bossman took his father to the race. They left on Saturday and didn't come home until 1am on Monday morning. The little man and I went to the movies on Saturday night and we ended up going to the zoo on Sunday. It was nice spending time with my little man, but I sure did miss Bossman.
So that was my weekend....
My sister came back from her trip to see our father. I haven't spoken to her yet, but she did post pictures on facebook. Since I amnosey curious, of course, I took a peek. Weird thing.... After seeing them, I realized something very important. I realized that I have no need to go visit him. I have no need to see him. As I looked at the pictures it made my stomach hurt. I didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling. I was looking at a stranger. I was surprised that I had that gut reaction when I saw the picture of him. I've since gone back and looked again and I still get the same reaction. I guess that means I don't really need him right now.
Maybe someday. But for now, I think I'll just not worry about it.
~house news~
We have put an offer in on a different house. We got a counter offer and I think we are going to accept the offer. We want to go look at the house again before we sign anything and I think that is going to happen today or tomorrow.
We found out the other house had a price drop. We also found out that there is a problem with that house that will cost 20 grand to fix. Oh yeah, 20 grand! Thank goodness we didn't sign up for that house. The only way that house would work for us is if they drop the price 20 grand. I have a feeling that house will be on the market a long time!
That's what going on over in Graceland. Things are busy, life is good.
How's your summer going so far???

Friday fill-in
1. All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting them to listen to you.
2. Show me a good loser and I will show you a good game to play.
3. A good spanking with sex after is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs at one time. (Filling, but satisfying....)
4. Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy giving TV interviews and not left alone to do the job.
5. I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine boobs and butts.
6. It is impossible to think of any good meal, no matter how plain or elegant, without sauce or pasta in it.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing up vacation bible school, tomorrow my plans include taking the little man to the drive-in and Sunday, I want to take the little man to the beach!
I'd like to wish all the Fathers a very happy Fathers day for this Sunday. We all know where I stand with my father, so I like to celebrate the father of my children on Fathers day. Bossman was lucky enough to score some Nascar tickets for this Sunday. One of his associates gave him two VIP tickets. Since the race is in Sonoma, which is roughly 5 hours from me, I decided not to go with Bossman. He's going to take his father with him, which I think is a perfect way for him to celebrate Fathers day! They are leaving Saturday night and won't be home until late Sunday. Therefore, I get to spend some time with my little man this weekend.
I hope you all have a great weekend!

gratitude Wednesday
I would just like to thank you all for your comments on my last post. You are all such wise people.
I'm a pretty forgiving person. A lot of you mentioned forgiving my father. Although in my mind, I've forgiven him, maybe my heart hasn't done the same.
I've been thinking it over quite a bit and I'm still unsure what I feel about the whole thing. A part of me would love to just forget about him and not deal with him anymore. Another part of me wants to keep in my life..."just in case". I'm not sure what the "just in case" is all about, but I feel like if I don't keep him in my life...I might be missing out on something.
Of course, the other part of me wants to keep the door open for my kids. Although they have never met him, he sends them cards and such, I would hate to shut that door on them. Maybe someday they would like to get to know their grandfather.
See, I grew up in an Army brat home. So we moved...ALOT! I never really had family around. It was just my mom, step dad, brother and sister. I had grandparents that visited once a year and that was IT! I never met my uncle, my cousins or any other family until I became an adult. I always wanted to have a big family. I think it's because I didn't have one. So, I don't want my kids to feel like they missed out on anything. (Ok, I'm just being a mother here, and chances are they could care less...)
Well, luckily my sis hasn't posted a whole bunch of stuff on Facebook. Maybe she knows I'll see it and won't like it. She's just been posting generic stuff like "she's just hanging with family and friends." She hasn't posted any pics or stuff, but I imagine, because I'm such a lurker and because I'm incredibly nosey, I'll look at them if she posts them.
Anyway, there isn't much gratitude in this post...so let's just get right to it!
Trees: I love trees! I love looking at them, taking pictures of them, sitting by them. They are majestic and I wish I could make them talk. I'm sure they have stories to tell.
Travel: I'm not a big traveller, but once I'm out there, I enjoy it. I only wish I could take my house with me everywhere we went. Then....travel would be PERFECT!
Talking: Talking is a great way to meet people. DUH!
Trains: I like trains by default. Bossman loves trains and has a miniature train in our garage. My grandfather worked for Southern Pacific for over 20 years. I guess trains were just meant to be in my life.
Telephones: How would we live without telephones? Or cell phones? I can't even imagine it!
Turkey: Well, Thanksgiving is the time for turkey and for gratitude so I LOVE turkey!
Tea: Iced Tea is lovely to drink on a hot day.
Well, if I want to post this before Wednesday is over, I better stop the list now.
Have a great day and don't forget to be grateful!
I'm a pretty forgiving person. A lot of you mentioned forgiving my father. Although in my mind, I've forgiven him, maybe my heart hasn't done the same.
I've been thinking it over quite a bit and I'm still unsure what I feel about the whole thing. A part of me would love to just forget about him and not deal with him anymore. Another part of me wants to keep in my life..."just in case". I'm not sure what the "just in case" is all about, but I feel like if I don't keep him in my life...I might be missing out on something.
Of course, the other part of me wants to keep the door open for my kids. Although they have never met him, he sends them cards and such, I would hate to shut that door on them. Maybe someday they would like to get to know their grandfather.

Excuse me while I sort out my feelings...
Long rambly post....if your not in the mood for that, please go visit one of my friends. You'll find them on my sidebar! Thanks!
I know that somewhere in my archives there is a post I wrote about my father. For those of you that can't remember, or are new, let me refresh your mind a little.
My father left my mother when I was about 5. My mom remarried when I was about 7 and I was raised by my step father. My step father abused me, but that's a different story for a different post.
My father was out of my life. I think he did time in prison. I know he was an alcoholic.
Fast forward thru my childhood....
I'm now married and am pregnant with my first child. That would make me around 22.
Until now, I haven't had any contact with my father. I don't remember him at all. When I was a teen, I went to the library and looked up his number in the phone book. I never told anyone that I did that....and I never called. Just knowing I had it was quite enough for me, thank-you-very-much.
My sister is four years younger than I. She decided to contact him. Without telling me. Not only does she contact him, she thinks it's a good idea to give him my phone number...again...without telling me!
So, I'm 22, I'm preggers and I get a phone call. "May I speak to Grace?" "Yes, this is Grace." (all the time thinking it's a telemarketer) "This is your father." (No, he didn't use the Darth Vader voice...although that would have been cool...LOL)
Without warning, I have a father. Weird.
I didn't know what to think about this event. The conversation was awkward and stiff. It wasn't anything like I had thought it would be. Maybe I watched too many reunion shows where everyone is all teary and crying and Oh-So-Happy to meet the long lost relative.
Whatever!
Since that fateful day we met once. He decided it would be great to come and visit me 4 weeks after my baby was born. Well, he visited my sister too. Again...weird and awkward.
Since then we have kept in touch via phone and cards. I should say, he keeps in touch and I...well, I send him a christmas card.
I'm sorry. I'm not really interested in this relationship. AND...I feel guilty about it. He's old now and he's had a lot of health troubles. He is kind enough to send us birthday cards, and he calls once in awhile. But you know what? He's a drama king! He'll make me feel guilty because I don't call and because I don't send him birthday cards. This is how a conversation will go:
Him: "How's things going?"
Me: "Great! Kids are great, Bossman is great, everyone is great. How are you?"
Him: "Well, I survived another birthday."
Me: "Oh yeah, well that's nice."
Him: " Yeah, I didn't see a card from you in the mail."
See, what I mean? I hate it! But I'm too nice of a person to say anything and I'm not brave enough to just tell him to bug off...because....
What if I don't want him to bug off?
Anyway, now he's moved to Arizona. Only 9 hours from me. He's only been there for about 3 weeks and my sister (God bless her) is there right now visiting him. ARRRRGGGGGG!!!!
I don't know why, but this pisses me OFF!
So, here's what happened this weekend. I get a call from Him wanting to know my sisters number because he wants to know what day she's arriving. THEN, he wants to know when I'm visiting. Uh, hello, I already told him we were buying a house and could not make any trips this summer. Then he tells me he can't handle a long drive so I'll have to come see him. Before I comment on that let me tell you one more thing. Yesterday, I get a text from my sister. She wants to know His address because she left it at him and he doesn't know she's showing up today instead of tomorrow and doesn't want to call him. Yeah, right.
Here's my comment on those two calls. First His. How does he have MY number and not hers when he talks to her more than me? Sure, lets say he lost her number in the move. Lost HER number and NOT mine? Most people keep the numbers in the same spot...so somehow I don't think he lost the number.
Not only that, but I think he was just trying to rub in the fact that my sister was coming to visit and why wasn't I coming to visit him...like he's a freaking king or something. (sheez, I'm getting all upset just typing this out....ACK!)
Now let's discuss my sisters text. First of all, who goes on a trip and leaves the address behind? Second, she texted me. She knows I don't answer my texts all the time because I have a home number and I don't use my phone when I'm at home. So if she really needed the address why didn't she call my house???? Again...trying to rub it in or WHAT???
The icing on the cake is this....I'm on facebook a lot. She's on facebook a lot. She's already left comments on there about her trip. Next thing she'll do is post pictures. Soooo, all week long, I'll have to see her updates on her stupid trip.
AND I'm NOT happy about it.
Now, let me throw this all out on the table.
Maybe I'm jealous. Could that be it? That could be it. Except....I don't think I want to be there. I know seeing him after 18 years would be awkward....I'm really interested in that. Or am I?
I just don't want to hear about this trip. I don't want to go visit him, but I want the option, should I ever change my mind.
Lastly, guess what this weekend is? Fathers day! Oh great, one more thing to feel guilty about. Except, I don't really feel guilty about this one. I mean he's not a father figure to me. So, why should I celebrate him? He was nothing but a sperm donor, in my eyes.
Or is he?
This post isn't really helping me sort through this, it's just pissing me off all over again. But it does help to write it all down.
So, if you actually made it to the end of this post, I thank you. This day has not been a good day for me. I think I'll try and work on my gratitudes. Maybe that will help me feel better.
Or not.

house update and friday fill ins
So, it looks like the house isn't in the cards. The sellers are really just being nit-picky and we aren't in the mood to dicker over a few thousand dollars. BUT, never fear...we aren't stupid. We've been looking at other houses and so we are going to try out an offer on another house. Same square footage, but bigger yards and bigger bedrooms. We knew going in it was going to be tough, so I can't get my hopes up on any of the houses that we put offers on.
Yesterday was the last day of school, so if you are reading this in the morning, chances are I'm still sleeping! I plan on sleeping nice and late tomorrow!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the fill-ins! I'd love for YOU to do the fill-ins...come on...it's really not that hard!
1. I grew up thinking I had to be a good girl.
2. Facebook was the last website I was at before coming here.
3. Why don't you try filling out the Friday fill-ins?
4. Bubble baths helps me relax.
5. Thanks for the well wishes on the house buying. I know we'll find something soon!
6. Getting spanked with the BS is very off-putting.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to relaxing at home, tomorrow my plans include going swimming at my Moms with my brother and nephew and son and Sunday, I want to head to the beach with the little man!

SSSSSSSSSSS
Blogging seems to be way down on the priority list these days. I forgot all about it until I stopped by today and realized it was Tuesday.
We made an offer on a house on Friday. They countered on Saturday. We countered back on Monday and NOW we are anxiously waiting to hear what the verdict is. We really like this house and although I'm trying not to get to excited about it, I will probably be disappointed if it doesn't go through. I KNOW, I shouldn't get so emotionally invested in it, but it's hard. It just seems like the perfect house for us. I suppose if we don't get it, then it wasn't meant to be, but still....
In other news, the D/D is still going strong here in Graceland. I'm not really sure how or why it's working, but for now it's working. One thing I know, I've been much more productive. Believe it or not, getting spanked for stuff you didn't do isn't nearly as fun as getting spanked for fun. Heh, who knew?
For those of you that like baseball, we went to the Dodger game on Friday. Oh my! It was a great game. Down the whole game, last inning we were down by one...two outs...full count, bases loaded. Someone (don't ask me names...LOL) hit the ball into right field, two runners in...we win by one! YAY Dodgers! In more exciting news, for those of you that could care less about baseball, we saw Larry King. Surprisingly enough, Larry King looks just like Mr. Burns, from the Simpsons. I kept cracking myself up all night by calling him Mr. Burns! We also saw Ron Howard. He was walking right in front of us. The wildchild yelled, "HEY Ron Howard!" He turned and pointed right at her, at which she yelled "Ron Howard just pointed at me!" To which everyone in the crowd cracked up! Of course the best part of the night is when the crowd boo'd ME! That's right...they boo'd me. See the beach ball was right over my head and I hit it out of reach of the crowd. Everyone around us boo'd. My daughter said it was a total party foul...whatever that means...LOL
So, that's what going on in my world. Oh yeah, today is gratutide tuesday, so I guess I should make my list of S's!
Sex...that's a given..right?
Sports: It wouldn't be the same in my house if there wasn't a sport on TV. Not that I enjoy watching them all the time....
sand: I love the beach and the warm sand between my toes is just one of the reasons I love the beach so much.
slippers: cold night + cold feet = slippers!
soul mate: You probably guessed my soul mate is Bossman.
spring: Everything blooms and grows and is fresh and new. Spring is wonderful
slaps: Slaps to my bottom warm my heart.
summer: Thursday is the last day of school. Summer vacation is great because I get to sleep in. Although I admit I will be doing the happy dance when school starts again!
That's it! I managed to get my list out before Tuesday is over! Keep your fingers crossed about the house! K? Thanks!

Friday fill-ins and house update
1. We are putting an offer on a home, today!
2. My favorite thing for dinner lately has been tacos.
3. Odie says bark! bark! bark!
4. A nice long walk makes the stress less noticeable.
5. Next week I hope to hear some good news. (That we got our house!)
6. When all is said and done, I could live in a cardboard box and still be happy, as long as Bossman is with me!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to going to the Dodger game, tomorrow my plans include sleeping in and Sunday, I want to hang out at the cafe and listen to Bossman's band perform for the first time!
So yeah, in case you didn't catch my big fat hint in the fill ins, we are putting an offer in on a house today. It's beautiful and it's big and it's going to be our first house purchase! I'm excited and scared! I was excited about this house and then once they said we were signing some papers to make an offer, I got all freaked out. Sure this house is great, but what about the house I may see tomorrow?
I know, stupid things to think. This house has everything we could want and more. It's twice the size of the house we live in now. BUT, we've lived in this house so long (8 years) that I keep thinking of all the things I'll miss.
I know, it's just stress. It's not like we are moving far away. We are merely moving a few miles down the road. The little man will still attend the same schools. Everything will be fine.
So wish us luck! Here's hoping they accept the offer!
Oh yeah, and GO Dodgers!!!!!

Opposite yet the same?
I know today is the R's, but I'm not really in the R mood. I thought instead, that I would be grateful for Bossman instead.
Actually, I'm grateful for Bossman every day. Everyday I marvel that the man still loves me. I'm in awe that he wants to put up with my stresses and problems and all the other things that come with loving someone. How I managed to get so lucky, I will never know. But.....lucky I am!
So, I know I've been hinting around that Bossman has taken a very strong interest in the whole d/d aspect of spanking. I've tried for weeks to write about it, but frankly, I can't seem to write anything worth publishing. I have numerous drafts that I started to write, but none of them fully conveyed how I truly feel.
Which brings me to the question....how do I feel about the whole thing?
Good question! And although it's a pretty straight forward question, the answer is not at all easy to answer.
Recently Amber shed some light on the core reason why this is so hard to explain, or maybe for me, it's the reason why I am having a hard time talking about it. As she said "I think at least part of the problem is that many people lack the ability to hold two opposing beliefs at the same time. How can Dan think of me as a stupid little slut and yet revere me as his wife? And how can I abase myself and find pleasure in kneeling at his feet and yet know that I'm a total bad-ass in my own right?
These beliefs are opposites yet they are both true. True and not true."
Now, I don't think Bossman thinks of me as a stupid little slut. ;) But the core of the statement is true. How can Bossman think of himself as the head of the household, yet, still see me as an equal? How can I, allow myself to be spanked by him, allow him to take charge of me, but still consider myself a strong, powerful, almighty, Woman? How can I say that our marriage is based on equality if we consider one of us as the "head" of the family?
Opposite points and yet, both true! (Thanks Amber!)
So I find myself trying to explain how my husband has taken to spanking me when I get lazy and don't fulfill my end of the bargain. How when I threw a hissy fit in the car because I didn't think we should drive around the block again...that night he decided to spank me for attitude.
AND, how do I explain how I find our relationship getting better for it? How I find me, personally, changing into something better.
Even though most of you reading this will get exactly what I'm saying and even though, that's what this blog has been about for 5 years, I still find it hard to talk about. Now that it's officially happening, it feels weird. It seems like before was all just a game. Something we did for the fun of it. It never had meaning. Now....well, now it's just different.
And I can't explain it.
But, I can explain how grateful I am for Bossman. I am grateful that he has taken on this challenge and that he is willing to put up with me! I couldn't possible imagine a life without him.
Can I ask for more than that? I could, but I don't want to be selfish! ;)

I've tried for weeks to write about it, but frankly, I can't seem to write anything worth publishing. I have numerous drafts that I started to write, but none of them fully conveyed how I truly feel.
Which brings me to the question....how do I feel about the whole thing?
Good question! And although it's a pretty straight forward question, the answer is not at all easy to answer.
Recently Amber shed some light on the core reason why this is so hard to explain, or maybe for me, it's the reason why I am having a hard time talking about it. As she said "I think at least part of the problem is that many people lack the ability to hold two opposing beliefs at the same time. How can Dan think of me as a stupid little slut and yet revere me as his wife? And how can I abase myself and find pleasure in kneeling at his feet and yet know that I'm a total bad-ass in my own right?
These beliefs are opposites yet they are both true. True and not true."
Now, I don't think Bossman thinks of me as a stupid little slut. ;) But the core of the statement is true. How can Bossman think of himself as the head of the household, yet, still see me as an equal? How can I, allow myself to be spanked by him, allow him to take charge of me, but still consider myself a strong, powerful, almighty, Woman? How can I say that our marriage is based on equality if we consider one of us as the "head" of the family?
Opposite points and yet, both true! (Thanks Amber!)
So I find myself trying to explain how my husband has taken to spanking me when I get lazy and don't fulfill my end of the bargain. How when I threw a hissy fit in the car because I didn't think we should drive around the block again...that night he decided to spank me for attitude.
AND, how do I explain how I find our relationship getting better for it? How I find me, personally, changing into something better.
Even though most of you reading this will get exactly what I'm saying and even though, that's what this blog has been about for 5 years, I still find it hard to talk about. Now that it's officially happening, it feels weird. It seems like before was all just a game. Something we did for the fun of it. It never had meaning. Now....well, now it's just different.
And I can't explain it.
But, I can explain how grateful I am for Bossman. I am grateful that he has taken on this challenge and that he is willing to put up with me! I couldn't possible imagine a life without him.
Can I ask for more than that? I could, but I don't want to be selfish! ;)
a wonderful gift.
11 years ago today, at 5:35pm, I received the best gift. This gift was something I had hoped for and dreamed about.
This gift was 7lbs and 7oz and was 20 inches long.
This gift was my little man.
My little man isn't so little anymore. He's 5'2 and around 110 pounds.
He's smart, funny and very absent-minded. I've taken to calling him the absent-minded professor. He'd forget to breath if it didn't come naturally!
He's a red-head...so he has a fiery temper. But he's incredibly sensitive and caring. He is an animal lover but cats are his favorite.
My son is everything a mother could hope for. When he was a baby he had Winnie the Pooh for his theme in his room. I know he's getting too old for such things, but this song reminds me of him every time I hear it!
Happy birthday Little man! Mom loves you very much!

Gratitude Wednesday and an Update
Ok, so I missed Tuesday. 3 day weekends tend to throw me off and so I forgot that yesterday was Tuesday.
So, it may be a day late, but I'm always grateful no matter what the day.
Today is the Q's.
Quiet: I love my time alone. I love the quietness. I don't get much of that these days and I miss it terribly!
Quarters: I love that 4 make a dollar! Who doesn't like money?
Quilts: Warm quilt, hot chocolate, and a cozy fire...too bad winter is over.
Quiver: Bossman makes me quiver.
Quickie: Quickies are a great way to reconnect when time is short.
Well, I guess that is all I can think of right now. Q's are hard!
~spanking update~
So, spankings are alive in my house. Bossman has been more interested in pursuing the d/d aspect of our relationship. He's been spanking more for attitude and for things that I have promised to do and didn't do and stuff like that.
It's hard to put it into words. All along spanking has been part of me and how I'm wired, but it's never really been serious in our relationship. I've never taken it too seriously because whenever I did I would end up disappointed that things didn't work the way I wanted them to work.
Nothing like "topping" from the "bottom"...LOL
I really have been trying to put this all out on a post, but as usual, life has stepped in. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on the computer. Whenever I do, I seem to be playing catch up on emails and such. AND...now that we are looking for a house, I've been spending lots of time looking for houses.
So, I'm sorry for the lack of posts. I will be back. I just don't know when. I feel like I have a lot to say, but I can't get it all out.
I hope you all are doing well. I miss you guys!
HUGS!

Friday fill-ins
This week has been CRAZY!
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but my son...the little man...he's the absent-minded Professor! This past week, we've had to re-do half of his school work that he either lost or didn't do. This kid is a honor-roll student and yet he was getting D's in some of his work because he LOST some of the stuff. I gave him money for a picture pack that they took at school......he lost it! I helped him with a report...he left it in his room. Two days this week I've had to drive him back to school because he forgot something he needs!
Normally, I let him suffer the consequences, but we are talking end of the year grades, so I couldn't just let this stuff go.
Needless to say, I've had to do 5th grade homework ALL week! I'm so glad it's a 3 day weekend!
Hopefully I'll have more time to write next week.....
Until then, enjoy my Friday Fill-ins and have a great weekend!
1. Moving to a new house, is in my future.
2. I like things that are free.
3. My best quality is being practical, which also drives Bossman crazy.
4. I need all the details. Otherwise I will stress over them.
5. In nearly 10 years, I'll be 50 and fabulous.
6. Motivation is what I need right now!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to catching up on all my shows, tomorrow my plans include spending the day with Bossman as the kids all have plans elsewhere and Sunday, I want to go look at houses! Did I mention that Bossman and I are buying our first home?

Peter did what??
I decided to post a story I wrote on October 10, 2006. This was what I used for Gratitude Tuesday and I enjoy it so much I thought I'd post it again.
I really am trying to write a decent post. I promise...I have written some words and everything. I promise, I will post it soon! Until then...enjoy my blast from the past....
Today is Gratitude Tuesday! In celebration of P I wrote a little story. Enjoy!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Peter Piper privately peered over the peppers and saw Pattie. Pattie poked her pert patooty playfully out. Pattie was predominately a party girl, but Peter was a party pooper. Peters palm itched to paddle Patties patooty. Peter predicted Pattie would protest. But Peter persisted. Pattie was placed over Peters pickle barrel. Patties piercing protest was heard practically every place. Pattie professed her purity but Peter persisted. Peters paddle popped Patties patooty plenty. Peter pronounced Patties patooty perfect. Suddenly Peters package poked partially out. After Peter paddled Pattie, Peter poked Pattie with his penis. Peter and Pattie produced Peggy and Patrick.
Peter purposely paddled Patties patooty patiently, particularly pouncing on problems that plagued Pattie. Peter and Pattie were pleasantly pleased with their peculiar predicament. Their permanent pleasure was pleasing to all parties.
Peter and Pattie lived happily ever after.
Only one question remains...
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Other P's that I just love:
Penis
packages
pens
plans
penguins
power
penetration
paddles
ponds
plays
programs
pencils
plans
planets
powder
plants
pure
prizes
privacy
people
party
P's I'm not so fond of:
poop
pimples
pricks
porcupines
pennies (they just annoy me..OK?)

New toy and friday fill-ins
I've been trying to write a decent post and nothing seems to be working. Things are good with us and Bossman has really decided to push the d/d. I just can't seem to write down my feelings. I guess I need to process them more before I can share them with you guys.
Until then, I wanted you to see the "toy" that Bossman came home with. I am always surprised when he shows an interest in spanking. It's going to take me some time to get used to the fact that he is now interested and it's more than just a passing phase. So I was quite surprised when he came home with these.....
As you can see, I put the remote between them, so you can understand fully how BIG those are.
They are thin wood, so I have a feeling they will make quite a noise when used. I will report exactly how they work when we get a chance to use them. Until then, let's all just stare at them....
Ok, on to Friday fill-ins. According to the website these are quotes having to do with spring. I will make them my own.
1. If we had no winter I would miss hearing all my friends complain about the snow.
2. My life is a perpetual astonishment.
3. If I had my life to live over I would go to college.
4. I will be bouncing in a bounce house inside of four and twenty hours.
5. If you've never been thrilled you've never had kids.
6. To be interested in the changing seasons you'd have to live somewhere where the seasons actually change.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having the youth group at our house, tomorrow my plans include celebrating the little angels 2nd birthday and Sunday, I want to hug Bossman and the wildchild when they get home from the races!
Everyone have a great weekend!

O my!
Let's see....
What O things do I like?
Ocean: I love the Ocean, I would hate not living near it. It's a place of great reflection. I tend to remember how very small I am when I am standing by the ocean. Feeling small is not always a bad thing. Feeling small helps keep perspective on lifes problems. It helps to know that my problems may not be as big as I make them.
Orange juice: I don't like coffee, so I love my orange juice. It's like starting the day with a glass of sunshine!
Orgasms: Does this need an explanation?
Octopus: I could really use 8 arms sometimes.
On button: How would we function if things didn't have an On button?
Ordinary: Ordinary people, ordinary house, ordinary car, these things make me comfortable.
On top: I'll have whipped cream on top, please!
online: I am so grateful to be online and be able to meet new people and to be able to connect with family and friends in a way that I never could before.
Well, the O's are fun but I am tired...so I will end it here.
Stay tuned. I think I'm ready to discuss the changes that have come into play in our relationship. Not only that, but you will NOT believe the "toy" that Bossman bought at the store the other day. We haven't used it yet...but YIKES! I'll post a picture of it soon!
Have a grateful day!

Friday-fill ins!
Thank you all for your wonderful birthday wishes! The day was great! My family came over for dinner and cake and they all gave me wonderful gifts. If you didn't read the comments from yesterday...here's what Bossman wrote.
"I wonder if Grace will mention that I made her blush tonight by putting in her birthday card that I owed her a birthday spanking. I think it was quite embarrassing for her to open that in front of her family looking at her. I got a kick out of it!!"
YES, it's true. He did right that in my birthday card and I think I turned 5 shades of red. It suddenly got very very hot in the room. Luckily, I didn't read that part aloud and I said the card was too mushy for them to read. As soon nobody was looking, I took that card and hid it under the presents, so nobody would try and read it. It was embarrassing, but the best part of the night. I loved it!
Well, that's it. I'm 41. Somehow I never thought I'd be in my 40's and here I am, 41. It's ok though....so far, so good!
On to Friday fill-ins!
1. Apples are to oranges as Facebook is to Myspace.
2. All backscratchers need to be burned and that's all I have to say about that.
3. I think I hear the left over birthday cake calling.
4. Proudly wave your American flag.
5. Do what you want to do, but suffer the consequences, if you don't do your chores.
6. Bossman came home and behind him was a Radio Flyer wagon; in the wagon was a bucket filled with backscratchers. (Grace took them in the back yard and burned them!)
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging at the house, tomorrow my plans include going to garage sales and Sunday, I want to sleep in!
Have a great weekend!

2nd anniversary of my 39th birthday
Yes, today is the day. The day I turn 41. How did this happen? Last time I checked I was only 25.
Remember when you were little and you couldn't wait to grow up? Now that your a grown up, time goes by so fast, doesn't it?
Oh well....enough about me...did anyone see this on the news last night?
I know it's not uplifting or anything. I know things are just horrible over there right now...but that is not why I posted it.
I posted it because....well....how often do you see a story on the news about a place called Swat Valley and a video of a woman being flogged?
I wish instead of everyone fleeing, they could all go back to Swat Valley and flog the Taliban.
Yes, that would be my birthday wish. Along with world peace and d/d as a welcome form of life.
That, and I wish I could buy a valley and name it Swat Valley. And the only women flogged there, are the women that WANT to be flogged!
Today, I am grateful for birthdays and I'm grateful to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Brought to you by the letter N
I know that I've been leaving a lot of "fluff" posts just to fill up space. I am sorry for that. It seems that I've lost a little bit of blogging mojo. I feel like I've been saying the same things over and over again and it's getting rather boring. I can't seem to think of anything remotely interesting to talk about.
Of course, I could talk about how the spanking mojo has returned to my house. I mean, this IS classified as a spanking blog, even if I don't talk about it that much any more. But, I feel like if I start talking about it, it will disappear as quickly as it appeared. It seems like that happens a lot when it comes to spanking. It seems like the moment I get excited about it, we lose it.
So, I won't talk about that now. I think I'll wait and see what happens with it.
Ok, you twisted my arm...I'll talk about it a little.
I'm still trying to process how I feel about it. Bossman seems to be taking more of an interest in what is going on around here. He also is taking more of an interest in my moods. So, he's been in more of a spanking mood when things aren't going the way they should.
And so far, it's going pretty good.
I like that he's taking more time to pay attention to me. It's not that he hasn't paid attention, but it's more that he just hasn't paid attention...like that. You know what I mean?
Instead of just getting mad when I'm not in a decent mood, he decides to change my mood. AND, instead of letting me get away with playing on the computer all day, he decides to give me some incentive to stay OFF my butt and get some stuff done.
Did I mention...I like it?
I may not like the actually spankings...yes, they do hurt! But I like that he is taking the time to bend me over his knee and remind me who's in charge.
Oh yes, I like it alot!
But anyway, I said I wasn't going to talk about it. So...
Let's change subjects.
D is in a hospital in Texas right now. She's at one of the top cancer hospitals in the nation and is hoping they will be able to treat her cancer with the lastest and greatest stuff they have! Everybody keep your fingers crossed that they will figure out a treatment plan that will give her a fighting chance!
Well, time for the N's! Everyone please take time out to be thankful today. It doesn't have to be N's, it can just be for life! Isn't life worth being thankful for?
Nests
nipples
naked
noses
naps
napkins
nectarines
Wow, N words are hard! I'm anxious to see what other words you all can come up with!
Tell me your N's and Have a grateful day!

Tell me your N's and Have a grateful day!
Funny story and Friday fill-ins
Welcome to Friday!
Yesterday my daughter and I went out to lunch together. Ok, first we went grocery shopping and then, as a treat, we went to lunch. We were having a great time. We were laughing and joking around and telling funny stories. My daughter has a wicked sense of humor. She makes me laugh, a lot!
While we were waiting for our food, one of the waitresses walked by and said we were having entirely too much fun. We just laughed some more and continued talking.
We had a great time scoping out the hotties, (which is apparently what you do when out with your 18 year old daughter) and talking about life. There was a table of firemen behind me, so I couldn't see them, but my daughter had a great view. As we were eating and enjoying ourselves, one of the guys got up to go to the bathroom. He had to pass our table on the way. On his way back, he stopped at our table and asked if he buy us a drink!
That's right people, he wanted to buy us a drink! I politely declined, as our meal was almost over and we had no need for another drink. I KNOW what your all thinking and I've gotta tell ya...it wasn't some hot young guy after my daughter...Nope, this guy was probably my age.
There are three ways to think about it. Either he was after me, he was a perv, after my daughter, or he was just a nice guy. I think he saw us having a good time and was just being nice to us.
Really, it doesn't matter what his reason was. He MADE my day! We laughed like crazy when we got in the car and I called Bossman to tell him that I still GOT IT!
Of course, Bossman already knew that!
Well, that's all I've got, but please, feel free to join me with the Friday fill-ins.
Have a great weekend!
1. The first rule of working in an office and getting along is getting spanked by the hot boss! Or, be like me and stay home!
2. I do not like clams, unless they are making pearls.
3. When I think of carnivals I think of spending lots of money.
4. Roses are my favorite spring flower.
5. Things on my desk include, pictures, a plant, some diecast cars and my computer.
6. Music makes me wanna dance.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out at home, tomorrow my plans include going out to dinner with friends and Sunday, I want to watch movies!

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!
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!

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
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!
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.

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
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!

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.....
