Merry Christmas

May you all have a wonderful holiday!

The last month

I can't believe a month has gone by already.  Things have been very busy around here.  With the holidays starting up, they have kept me hopping and I haven't had much time to do much of anything but work and try to get the house ready for Christmas.

R has been working crazy hours.  This is his first day off in over two weeks.  With the murder/suicide here of a major NFL player and his girl friend things have been very busy for him.  That on top of his other work plus his freelance stuff has really been keeping him busy. 

R's family will be at our house this weekend.  I've got so much to do still to get us ready and only of tonight to finish getting ready as his sister and brother-in-law will be here tomorrow by the time I get home from work.  Thankfully R is welling to help get the house cleaned up.  Yes, he is one of those enlightened men who will vacuum the house when it needs it.  (I once gave him a birthday card that said "There is nothing sexier than a man with a vacuum") 

I know what I am fixing for dinner on Saturday when R's entire family is at our house, about 20 people or so.  But still need to figure out Friday dinner and Saturday/Sunday breakfast and lunch.  R has promised to do the grocery shopping.  I do love that man (even if he does spank me).

Speaking of spanking - R has made time for that -  I think they can always make time for that in their lives.  He's been doing sneak spankings.  Yes, when I least expect them.  R was setting on the stairs and I bent over and lend on them to talk with him and the next thing I know there is a hand landing on my butt over and over.  Standing in the kitchen doing the dishes.  Making the bed.  Picking up the cat toys off the floor so I could vacuum.  I'm starting to be afraid to bend over when he is in the house.  But it is hard to do things around the house without bending over. 

I was able to get all my Christmas shopping completed and the presents are wrapped.  I still have a couple to put bows on (I "Martha Stewart" my gifts) but they sure look pretty under the tree.

Hope your holiday's are going well.

Whats yours like?

It's a game that one of my sister-in-laws introduced us too at a past family gathering. It is normal only the ladies that end up playing but the gentleman sometimes do play with us.  The game is fairly simple.  You wright down an object and then in one word describe (hint) what yours is like, then pass the word to the next person who describes in one word what theirs is like.  There is one person who is trying to guess what this word is.

Here is an example:

1st hint said  - Ruffled   the guesser couldn't guess the word.

2nd hint said - Metal (at this point we start laughing and asking if we should ask her husband for the key to her chastity belt because only two people have seen the word and we all think it is underwear. And ask our 1st word giver if she is really wearing ruffled undies).

Our guesser can not figure out the word.

3rd hint - White (very helpful wasn't it - yes I gave this one).  We are still laughing and I now know the word so that makes it even more funny.

4th hint - Fan   At this point we are laughing so hard tears are rolling down our faces and we can't look at each other because each time we do, we start laughing again.

Our guesser is looking at us like we are crazy (of course, so far it is all the sister-in-laws that have given the words and a twenty year old niece trying to guess the word)

5th hint - Rurrr  (noisy sound that the 1st word givers makes cause we're back to her giving a description).

My niece, I think has given up on us because we can't stop laughing and have to take a potty break.

6th hint- bright and since we were feeling sorry for her, we all look up at the ceiling.

She finally got it - Ceiling light.


Needless to say  you can have some real fun with the words.  We are suppose to be writing them down when we come up with them, so that we have a new batch of words when we next gather together. You can keep score by the number of hints they need to guess the word.

Hope you'll try this with your family and/or friends.  You can learn a lot of things you didn't know about them.

Some of the words we used are below:

Bra
First Pet
First Job
First Car
Purse
Feet
Hair
Eyes
Stove
Bed
Garage

Love Our Lurkers 7

Thank you to everyone that stops by and reads.  I'd love to hear from you.  As you've seen on other blogs you can make up a name, your email address won't to seen.  So please feel free to leave comments.

Thank you Bonnie at My Bottom Smarts for creating a special day for our lurkers.

Have a wonderful day.

Toasted Marshmallow Mattress

So we finally went and bought a new mattress.  We decided to go with Seally's version of the Temperpetic (probably spelled wrong).  We bought the semi-firm mattress.  What we got was a mushy marshmallow that you can't get out of without help.  I can't even get into it without a stool it is so tall.  We're having them pick it up and it's only been with us since last Thursday.  4 nights of sleeping (or trying to sleep) in a marshmallow.  I took to leaving a foot on the outside side of the mattress to give me leverage to get out of the bed.  R took to sleeping diagonally.  I think he thought if he took up more room he would stay on top of the mattress.  It didn't work.  Trying to roll over was another adventure.  You had to put your feet on the mattress and lift yourself up before trying to turn over.  It took some trail and error to figure that out. At least the cats loved the mattress.  They were sleeping quite well on it and decided it was a great place to spend their days. 

I don't know what they will do tonight when we are sleeping in the guest room, in the less than full size antique bed.  It's going to be very crowded with 2 adults and 2 cats.  I might end up on the sofa.  We're going to attempt to go mattress shopping again tonight if they pick up company gets here early enough, otherwise I know what we will be doing tomorrow.  . 

Thinking about going back to the old spring mattress at least we know we won't sink into it and not be able to get out. 

So if your mattress shopping  - 1. Don't buy it from Mattress Firm they are 2 times higher in price and 2. Don't buy Seally's version of the temperpetic - they still need time to fix the problems with their version.

Mick and Lynda's Place: Starting Over

The note about one of my favorite bloggers was wrong.  He was just changing his site.  Below is the new link to his blog. 

Enjoy!


Mick and Lynda's Place: Starting Over

Binder full of women

So I've just been reading reviews on Amazon.com about binders.  The reviews weren't what I expected but if you don't like what Mitt Romney said the other night about women, you'll very much enjoy them.  I sure am and have shared the link with R, who will also enjoy it.  The women who have left reviews are funny, witty and have the best sense of humor.  I hope one of the National news agency picks up on it and Amazon lets it ride (oh, and Avery binders). 

Now every time I look at a binder I'll never see it the same.

Life's is intruding

Life has not been cooperating with us.  We haven't had time to get in a good spanking in quiet a while.  I'm getting rather frustrated with that fact.  I know that the things we've had to do have been important and needed to be done.  The people we've helped (family members) have needed our help and we were happy to help them.  But I want some alone time with R, not just an hour.  I'm hoping this weekend we'll be able to get that time.

Mean while, I got my biopsy results back.  Everything is fine.  Doctor said nothing to worry about, we'll do a recheck in six months.  I hope in six months I'm not going through the same thing.  If so, it might be time to talk about a serious surgery.

On a sad note, I see another one of my favorite bloggers has closed up shop for a while (at least I hope it is only for a while).  Husbandly Touch is down for now but I hear it won't be forever.  Please know that those of us who read your blog will miss you while your gone and hope you come back soon. 

Start of a big week

I've been ready for this week to get here and dreading it also.  I'm having surgery Friday.  I'm not looking forward to it but want to get it over with as soon as possible.  R suggested putting it off for a while and I looked at him like he was crazy.  It not like this is something I want to do but I don't want to put it off any longer.  I want it over with, I want to know that I don't have cancer.  I want to know that I'm not going to have to have a hysterectomy.  The parts may not work for us to have kids - yeah we did all the fertility stuff.  The expensive drugs and procedures.   Nothing worked.  The doctor's said we were incompatible.  How's that for an explanation?  We just think they couldn't figure out why they couldn't get us pregnant (stupid doctor's).  I know that one of the many side effects of the drugs I was taking is the increased risk of cervical cancer, so keeping fingers crossed that whatever it is the the doctor found is not cancerous.

Oh, yeah and my birthday is this week.  R keeps asking me what I want.  I just want the surgery to go okay and everything to be fine.  I have everything I need when he is with me.  Yeah, there are many things I want but right now I just need him by my side.

Wish me luck and I'll try to give an update after the surgery Friday.

 

Slow July and they said it wouldn't hurt

July has not been a good month for us.  We were both tired after vacation.  R has been working a lot so we haven't been able to spend much time together.  What little we have spent together has been great but not a lot of spanking going on.  So if you want to stop reading now I'll understand.

I had to go to the doctor earlier in the month because they had found something they wanted to look further into.  They told me that it wouldn't hurt - they lied.  R was unable to go with me so (lucky for me) my Mom doesn't live far so she went with me.  If you ever have to go in for a histogram, make them give you a Valium prescription before your appointment.  A little cramping my ass.  Hurt like a bitch.  And now I have to have surgery.  R has cleared his calendar so he will be able to be with me that day.  But I have another month to wait before they can do it.  Now I just get to think about it.  At least I will be put out for that procedure.  Won't remember a thing.  I like that idea.  Then we'll just have to wait for the biopsy to make sure it is not cancer.  Cervical cancer doesn't run in my family so keeping my fingers crossed.  Of course, I am the oldest female (at 45) in the last 4 generations to not have a hysterectomy by the age of 40. So this is really new territory in my family health history.  I don't want to have a hysterectomy.  We may not have been able to have children but that doesn't mean I want anything removed that isn't absolutely life threatening.

In the mean time I've managed to get bronchitis.  I've been sleeping in the recliner, if you can call coughing all night long sleeping and the other stupid doctor would give me any cough medicine with codeine so I could get some sleep.   Sometimes I really hate doctor's. 

So I'm hoping August will be a much better month (will until the surgery part).  Maybe I can get them to do some free liposuction while they are in there.  :)  Hope your July has been wonderful.

Colorado Vacation

We just got back from vacation in Colorado.  While some of the state is on fire, a lot of it isn't and we were near the fire area (close enough to see smoke at times) but far enough away to never be in danger.  We talked a lot about the fires raging around us and made sure we only unpacked as much as we needed so if we had to make a fast move we could do so.  It did make traveling around the state challenging in you had to find roads that where open.

We have friends that live in Colorado Springs and while we were not planning to visit them this trip we still haven't been able to reach them to be sure they are okay.  Hoping they are fine and that if their home was in the fire area that they got out and are safe. 

Since this was a family vacation (we were vacationing with R's family) we weren't able to have any spankings while we were gone and none since we've been home.  R got bite by a spider or an insect of some kind so I drove most of the way home from Colorado and Monday morning we were in the ER at 8 am.  So our vacation didn't end on a happy note.  The swelling is starting to go down in R's face so his cheeks don't look like a chipmunks stuffed full any more but there is still some swelling.  His temperament is improving also.  :) 

I hope everyone has a happy 4th of July.  Be safe and enjoy the fireworks if they are allowed in your area.  If you're not here in the states hope you enjoy the day also.

Fighting with your man

So we argued last night.  R has been smoking again for almost a year and has promised several times to quit.  He just keeps coming up with excuses as to why he hasn't.  This wouldn't be so bad be he is sneaking out of the house, so I won't know he is still smoking.  Like I can't smell it on him.  He stinks.  His sperm tastes like nicotine and I won't swallow it.  Nasty Nasty Nasty

So last night I caught him sneaking back into the house.  I asked him,"Whatcha' doing?"  R says, "You know what I was doing."  So I asked him, "Why are you sneaking around about it?"  He tells me, "I don't want you to be mad about it."  Well, I am mad about it but more disappointed and that's what I tell him.  So he comes back with, "Well, I'm disappointed with you.  Every time you eat ice cream."  That was a big slap in the face.  I just walked off from him.  I left the room.  I did not want to talk to him any more.

Yes, I am over weight.  I've asked for his help in my weight lose.  I've even revealed to him how much I weight (and that was a big deal).  For him to throw that in my face was very hurtful.  But he has not helped me.  He has come to me and asked me to make brownies repeatedly.  He has asked me to buy M&M's, trail mix.  Bake cakes, cookies.  But not a word about why don't we exercise or go work out.  He knows I need that push when I get home from work.  So now I will make sure I am not naked in his presence again. He'll be able to get to the parts he wants to get to if he wants to get to them but I will not be asking him for sex.  If he is so unhappy with the way I look then I don't want him to have to look at me. 

R followed me to continue our conversation as he said it wasn't over.  He then proceed to inform me that I degraded him in front of his family with loud comments I made about his smoking.  I don't remember saying anything to his family.  I might have said I'm not happy that he is still smoking but that is all.  His excuse right now for not stopping is that we are going on vacation and that is stressful.  I told him I didn't realize going on vacation with me was stressful.  I may suggest this afternoon that he go without me so he doesn't have the stress of me being there to worry about while he is on vacation.  He is the one that wanted to go on vacation with his family and I agreed because he wanted to go so much.  I was looking forward to it but not now.  I don't want to be stuck in a car with him for a 9 hour drive one way and then in a small remote cabin for 5 days. 

I'm suppose to get off work at noon today but I may just work until my appointment at 2:30 so I don't have
to deal with him. 

I didn't tell him I loved him when I went to bed last night.  That was the first time in 25 years.  Needless to say, I did not sleep well.

I had to share
