Choices, choices

For a long time, Lash has used mostly his hand for spanking with just a 'touch" of the strap and a tiny sample of the silicon spoon. Now he's thinking about getting a tawse which everyone says is very stingy but the feeling doesn't last long.

So, I'm asking for your input about implements for:

Delicious sting?

Nasty sting?

Comfortable thud?

Painful thud?

Long lasting tingle/burn?

Little or no bruising?

Marks to display proudly?

Discipline that means business?

If you have a favorite or a spawn-of-Satan that you hate I'd like to know what they are.

A girl has to be prepared, right?

Happy Meow

I'm a happy Meow since my tummy troubles left and I got a couple of really hard spankings!! Hooray but, Ouch! A week without spankings makes for a very tender tushie!

Lash and I also finished a big project. We painted a large room in a very dark color which, of course, means at least two coats of paint and lots of touch-ups, furniture moving, reaching, bending, kneeling (rug burns), spot-cleaning spills and clearing away all the "stuff". We're tired and bemoaning our lack of flexibility and stamina, but very pleased with the job so far.

I've been doing well on my diet and very happy with my progress......... especially after losing the fluid I retained as a result of the general anesthesia (5 frakking pounds!) I'm still considering asking for a GG spanking if I make my goal this month.

Lash is also losing weight and his left hand and arm are improving after surgery. It's a good thing because he's having his right hand carpal tunnel surgery done in early August. He needs to start practicing his left-hand spanking technique. He does some things left-handed naturally - swinging a bat or an ax - so maybe this will come naturally, too. I have high hopes!

Btw, Lash has been fascinated lately with the idea of getting a tawse. Any advice?

Grumpy Meow

Thanks to all who sent good thoughts after my last post. My procedure went well and I got a lot of rest for a couple of days. Then we helped our daughter and her husband move into their new home over the weekend. It was exhausting and I probably did more than I should have. (I can hear Lash in the background saying "Probably?".) We got home on Monday and I had a "social activity" that afternoon. Yesterday we had company from out-of-town which meant cleaning the house, preparing food, etc. Our guests were not close friends, but one of Lash's former co-workers and his wife and their two grandchildren who were vacationing in our area.

Now here comes the Grumpy part! Ever since my surgery, I've had an unrelated problem with my stomach. It ranges from annoying to irritating to miserable. Yesterday I was miserable, but I plugged along getting ready for guests that I didn't invite and didn't care about seeing. They arrived and since they'd been camping we let them shower and change in our guest room. Then we visited and cooked and ate. I like the guy Lash worked with but his wife is something else. She wouldn't drink the wine we had - she doesn't drink red wine and our only single serving container of white wine wasn't good enough for her. We put the meat back on the grill 3 times because it wasn't done enough for her. She made little remarks about the food - had I made this or that? - No, I had bought most of it ready-made so that I'd have time to clean the frakking house!! I smiled and tried to be polite. By the time the evening was over I went to bed exhausted, frustrated, in pain and near tears.

Another complaint, while I'm at it! No spankings!!! Lash has offered and been supportive, but my stomach hasn't been up to our usual OTK position. I'm trying a new medication and hoping that today will finally be the day that we get back to spanking again!

Lash has been my ray of hope in this mess of a week. He has been unfailingly sympathetic and understanding and yesterday he bought me roses - not for our guests, but just for me. I put them in a room that the guests didn't see because I didn't want to dilute the joy I got from them by sharing.

And..... so far this morning, no stomach problems!! Maybe the Grump is leaving!

Sleepy Meow

This is me today! I had an outpatient procedure this morning under general anesthesia, came home about 1:00 and slept from 2:00 to 5:00. All is well with me and Lash is taking good care of his Meow. I'm catching up on my blog reading but not commenting much since I can't seem to make much sense. Maybe I'll just go back to bed. Ho - Hum!! Snore*******! (Hey - Lash says I snore but I think I just purr in my sleep!)

Alpine Wildflowers

This morning, Lash and I were hiking a short trail on the alpine tundra at dawn. It was at about 11,000 ft., 39 degrees and very windy so we were freezing, but the wildflowers were spectacular!! I'm not much of a photographer, but I'm posting a few of the photos on the sidebar because I like the reminder of this beautiful area and it's fantastic scenery!

Faroozin' in the oficemoo

I have a question for those of you who use word verification on your comments. Why?

I'm curious to know if many of you have had problems with spam-type comments. Where do they come from and how many have you gotten? Is this a big problem? I have never turned this on in my settings and have never had any problems. Maybe this is because my blog is new and not very well known or because it doesn't trigger the spammers for some other reason. I wonder about this every time I type in one of those nonsense words, so just thought I'd ask.

Go Lash!

For my 50th blog post, I'm happy to announce that Lash started blogging on his own site. The link is just below our pictures. Something clicked for him today and he wrote a couple of posts in answer to other bloggers, but really in answer to the thoughts those blogs initiated in his mind. I think we all know what happens when we can't stop the thoughts and just have to get them written down. I'm happy that he's gotten over the first post jitters and hope he'll write more! Love you, Lash!!

Bless you!

In the past few weeks since I've written this blog, I've come to know a little about some of the people in this online community. Some posts have made me laugh out loud and some have brought tears to my eyes. I enjoy reading about your spanking experiences and about your daily lives and families. And I've shared about myself and my marriage and my family and you've been interested and supportive. So far it's been a great experience and I just want to say Bless You All!
