New Year, New Me! Vol 2

February draws to a close so I thought I would take a few minutes to check in on my new year, new me.

This month I have slipped a bit with the snacking. With Valentines Day came an influx of chocolate into my home. Chocolate is my kryptonite. I love it. And I can not bring myself to say no. Ok, maybe that isn't exactly true. I can say no. But I don't like to. So this month I indulged more than I thought I would. However I do not feel badly about it. I allowed myself these indulgences as long as I stayed on my workout routine and made sure to get back on track snack wise. Which I have now done.

On the workout front I am doing much better. I have actually Incorporated both of my work outs into one. So I do the less strenuous one as a warm up for the other. I really really like this. The difference is amazing. Everything, and I do mean everything, is easier. I haven't had back problems in 2 months. For me that is a record. I don't' break a sweat nearly as easily.

I want to continue to improve my workouts as they become easier, and these current ones are increasing in ease. So I have decided that March 1st I will incorporate some weight training in with my yoga workouts. I would like to do some strengthening of my upper body so Jason and I are developing what will work for both he and I.

I honestly expected to, at this point, be ready to be done. but I am not. Everyday I am excited for the time I have set aside to work out. I haven't felt that way since I was in Tae Kwon Do.

So I guess the report is: So far, so good!

My husband...is HOT!!!

thrift and leather

I love thrifting. I have found more wonderfully fantastic pieces from the thrift store than I have ever found in a 1st time around store. Take yesterday for example. I was just walking my mom around the city. We headed to Good Will to see what they had. What do I find? A BRAND NEW Samsonite giant suitcase! What's more, it's $4. Cut to me creaming my pants. So I snatched that little beauty up. I also showed great restraint in not buying the nearly new 3 piece red travel set that was there as well. Oh did I forget to mention that I LOVE suitcases? Seriously! I LOVE THEM! I have about 5 complete sets (thus my restraint). I guess a part of me hopes to eventually be able to do a ton of traveling. However I don't usually like normal regular suitcases. I like the older ones with personality. However, this giant Samsonite case was exactly what I wanted for a toy bag. Yes, I said toybag. I have a huge one but it is the cheap knock off version with canvas sides that I am always afraid my toys will bust out of. So when I saw this, well I creamed.

So today I did the Toy Bag Shuffle, moving my toys from one bag to my pretty shiny new one. I tend to keep each section of my toys seperate from each other. My floggers are all in a case. My sensual toys are in a bag, etc. SO that way I just open up my giant bag and everything is ready for whatever type of play I want. I love my system.

Anyway, as I am doing the shuffle I take out my leather cuffs and My sub's leather collar. Both looked rather dry and wanted for some attention. I decided I was going to treat the collar and cuffs to a good mink oil rub down. At this point my husband says that I shouldn't do it. That is my boi's job and it should wait for him to return. I brought up the point that it will be in bad shape by the time he gets back from this tour, let alone back from the next should he have to go. My husband countered that it would be good for him to have to work hard to repair the damage from the distance. I thought this was a very interesting idea and I really liked it. In the end though, I went ahead and treated the collar and cuffs. My cuffs I will be using quite a bit before he returns. And My sub's collar... well I told him I would have it waiting for him when he returns. So right now it is in My keeping. I will not allow something in My keeping to waste and wither. Especially not something that means so much.

So I spent the next hour or so really working over the leather of his collar and My cuffs. In the end they look much MUCH better and I was happy to have done it.


You can't really tell but this is his collar looking battered and worn.


And here it is looking beautiful.


This is alook inside of my toy bag with the cuffs and collar on the side. The red bag is my floggers. The jean bag underneath are my sensual toys. the ID lube bag is my strap on. The purple is a bondage scarf. The qtips are for fire. The black bag is my aftercare bag. My fire kit is not in the bag.


My new toybag! and my puppy peeking around from behind.

Happy VD everyone

Early VD

Today I will be celebrating the horrible holiday known as Valentine's Day. If you are a hopeless romantic then you may want to not read any further. Because I hate this day. I HATE IT! If you know me you know that I refer to this travesty as VD as I find it nearly as appealing. Why do I hate it so much? I am glad you asked. It seems that Valentine's Day is supposed to be a magix fix-all for relationships. One day set aside to prove to your partner how much you love them. Except who ususally succeeds? Not many. One or both of the partners will end up disapointed. This of course does not include everyone but a frieghtening percentage of those I have known fall victim to this day. And if it doesn't live up to the expectations then look for problems, because they are a'comin'. And there is nothing quite like disapointed passive agression.

In my humble opinion I believe that you should treat every day like it is special. Take time every day to make your partner feel loved. Take time to reaffirm your passion for each other. And treat every day as an opportunity for "Valentine's Day Sex".

So why I am celebrating? Because my husband, though he agrees with my philosphy enjoys the opportunity to pamper me. And I am not saying no to that.

So this is how we will be celelbrating our non Valentine Valentine Day.

First off we are shipping the kid to my parents. But not just to spend the night. See my parents don't like each other that much. The days of proving their love are long since past. So Valentine's Day for them, like so many others, means angry, sad, disapointment. So I have endevored to change that. On the day that my husband and I decide to celebrate we send the kid to the parents with some money. She gets to spend the week before planning what she wants to do with them. Then she suprises them with an evening out on her. We give her some money and she gets to treat them to an evening out. This year she has planned to take them to the movies, dinner and then they are going for ice cream afterward at grandpa's favorite ice cream parlor. Then they will go back to grandma and grandpas and play board games until bed. This way everyone has a good time and the romantic expectations have been taken away so noone ends up disapointed. Plus it gets the kid out of the house. and then the good times start.

I have had steaks marinating since Thur night so they will be super tender. I will be cooking steak, homemade mashed taters and some fresh green beans. My husband's favorite meal. A movie I have been waiting for a long time to see has already been picked up and is waiting, so we will be watching Wild Target. I do love Bill Nighy. In any case once we have finished the movie the tv gets switched to fireplace mode. Then I have been told I will receive a full body massage and a pedicure. After I manage to recover from the comfy coma my husband has informed me that he will be spending the next 2 hours kissing and licking every erogenous zone on my body. Yes, please! But no sex until we have hit the 2 hour mark. This will most likely turn me into a dripping pile of goo but he knows what happens then. Sex so good that it is probably illegal. He will fuck me until I pass out. Mmmmmm.... then once I wake Sunday morning he will have breaksfast waiting for me. Mmmmm.....

Now this isn't actually to different than most dinner and a movie VD but it really is. It's not about spending money. It's not about going out. it's about staying in and enjoying the wonderfulness that is each other. And then the next day, Sunday night I will turn it out for him. He will be tied up. He will be lit on fire. He will be kissed and beaten and treated like a dirty little slut. And he will love it! and I will love it! And there will be much love in the air.

So those are my VD plans. They are fantastic, but not because it is VD.

Winter Wickedness Report

Well kiddies, I’m back. Yes, I have successfully recovered from the fantastic weekend known as Winter Wickedness 2011. It may have taken a couple of days but my batteries are recharged and the count down to C.O.P.E. has begun. That is the sign of a great convention, is it not?

As ever I offer 2 versions of my weekend report. Choose your own adventure.

Short Version
Much fun was had. I saw good friends, old friends, new friends, friends getting fisted, friends getting fucked, friends getting fucked up, a crucifiction, women on fire, women getting bonged, lots of leather, and everything in between.

Long Version

Friday
Set up went really well. Peach and I are so damn good that we were finished almost an hour ahead of time! Segway to the Meet-N-Greet Friday night. I am always honored to be allowed to be one of the first staff faces that our unconventional conventionists get to see and I really do try to make the experience fu and upbeat for everyone. This year our theme was Mardi Gras so I encorperated that into our M-N-G game. We played the game Find Someone Who (where each clue begins with Find Someone Who…). Instead of having the clues printed out on a sheet of paper I decided to cut them out and attach them to strands of beads. I decorated the outside with our jester logo and had the clue on the reverse. That way when people found someone who.. they could just pull off the tag and have a set of beads! The game went over pretty well. Dcupnewbie cohosted the Meet N Greet with me and I think that was wonderful. My throat wasn’t nearly as dead as usual from having to repeat the instructions to everyone who walks in. She was wonderful mixing and mingling. I also had Stacked78 and her sub volunteer a kinky ring toss game. What is kinky ring toss, you ask? Well it’s not what you think. Stacked78’s sub had a ring toss goal that was actually a butt plug. So he put that in and bent over with Stacked78 acting as the facilitator. FUN! If you got 1 ring then you got beads. 2 got you a foot rub and 3 was players choice. Come to think of it, I never did get my foot rub!

Anyway, after that was the opening. All of the staff met before hand to load up on beads and we got to parade in and distribute them to the crowd. Lots of fun! The Barak and Sheba, our fearless leaders, took the stage in FANTASTIC jester costumes. After that the president of NCSF (National Coalition for Sexual Freedom) Susan Wright took the stage and gave a great speech about the need for consent in our scene. After her was the keynote address given by Laura Antinou, the author of The Marketplace series. She gave a very funny speech about the need for personal responsibility not only in the scene but also in real life.

After that was PLAYTIME!!! I started off early, as in as soon as we opened and there wasn’t anyone else in the Warm and Wet room. I set fire to 4 beautiful women Friday night. As anyone who has had more than a 5 minute conversation with me knows, I am a HUGE fan of fire and the only thing I like more than setting people on fire, getting lit up myself. Unfortunatly I did not have the opportunity to do the latter but I did the hell out the former. I also incorporated my new Bongers into the scene. The end result being my play partners were all so relaxed by the end that they ended up changing into pjs! Or as Coral, whom I closed out the night with, said “you made me stupid!” but it was the good type of stupid, and trust me she was not complaining.

Then I headed back to my room where I cuddled up next to the beautiful and lucious Peach and promptly passed the hell out. Thank you AMBIEN!!

SAT

Peach and I have a morning tradition but we passed on it this time as we both had been recentlyrun over by a Mac truck. Or at least that is what it felt like. So we opted for a little extra sleep instead. But when we did get up we headed out to a lovely breakfast and a quick trip to Snyder's Bakery for the BEST donuts in the world. Then back for a few classes. I took Felice Shay's class on Sex talk and Role Play. She is an excellent presenter and should you have the opportunity I recommend you go see her! Unfortunately the class was less focused on sex talk than it was on the role playng aspects. Having met my husband in a role playing game I am pretty adept at it, whereas my sex talk can always use some work. However I was only mildly disapointed because the rest of the class more than made up for it. Quite good.

Then I was privlidged to attend Amber and Master Eric's wedding. What a beautiful ceremony. Amber was first released from her slavery to Barak and Sheba before she was married to her love, Master Eric. Following their vows Master Eric then collared Amber as His slave. The whole ceremony was so beautiful and touching that even I was fighting back tears. However I had two lovely ladies on either side of me in full on tears so I stayed strong and held them. I can not believe how fortunate I have been to witness these intimate, beautiful ceremonies within our lifestyle.

After the wedding things got a little lighter when I attended Fisting 601. I did not know it at the time but it was also taught by Felice Shay. This was another wonderful class. A mixture of information and humor helped bring the whole class together. I was also lucky enough to see the beautiful and talented Julia Demo Dollying for the class.

Next on the agenda came the Queer Meet-N-Greet. Sugar_and_spite cohosted with me and I could not thank her enough. We got a really good turn out, filling up a good portion of the room. Lady Gaga siezed the sound system and a full on dance party broke out! Hells ya! Though I must say a highlight of the QM-n-G was when Sugar_and_spite stripped down to her bright pink panties that said "LEGALIZE GAY" on the ass, completeing the look with bright pink suspenders. HOT! I got to float around and meet a lot of people I haven't seen before and connect with several that I knew. I was really happy with the overall vibe we created. It was relaxed and social and fun. What more can one ask for?

So where am I... First came fisting, then came Queers, then came Barak and crucifiction! Yes, I said that right! Barak showed off his Father Barak attire and did a magnificent rope suspension scene that made me more than a little wet. BlasphaME, blasphaYOU, BlasphaEVERYONE! YES!!! I then got belated birthday present from the wonderful Welchman's Layla who rubbed me down with almond oil. YUM! Follow that with a few more fired up gals and cap the evening off with Coral working me over and even abstaining from being a sadist to me! It must be love! :)

All in all it was a wonderful weekend!

My only regret was that My sub was not able to be there to share it with Me. Although I did recieve an email Sunday which was wonderfully soothing on my nerves. I also was not able to do a few scenes I had planned for but preparations were made so that we can do those scenes at the next con, if not sooner, so it all works out.

How was your weekend?

Winter Wickedness is HERE!!!!

I'm off to Winter Wickedness! See you next week!

Family

Well said! ::applause::
