"Come here," he said. And she did. Last night and the strapping she had received still fresh on her mind, ass still a bit tender, she came right away. She knelt at his feet and waited attentively. He watched her for a minute, maybe two, half smiling. Then, "I thought we'd listen to another chapter … Continue reading An Audio Book Night

Still Awake
Here I am again. The day was lovely. The grands were great. Truly. They were pleasant. They were cooperative. They cleaned their bedroom. We did classes, a park, and a birthday party. We had a good time. And I’m exhausted. Exhausted. I’ve eaten dinner. It’s 8:15. Time for bed? Oh, yeah. Definitely. I have not … Continue reading Still Awake
Wordless
I wanted images tonight... A woman waking up at 3 a.m., eyes wide open, sitting bolt upright in bed. The woman in a meeting, cup of coffee beside her. Same woman, looking tired in a class. The woman in line at the fast food drive through, two kids strapped in car seats behind her. Baths, … Continue reading Wordless
A Whole Lotta Resentment
"Come here," he said. Reluctantly, she glanced up from what she was doing. "What?" When he didn't answer right away, she added, "I'm trying to clean this up. What do you need?" Silence. So she looked up again. He was looking at her, he didn't look angry, but she was suddenly aware that he had … Continue reading A Whole Lotta Resentment
And Now This…
This morning... It was a beautiful day for a walk on the beach. I sat at the picnic table on the pier and worked on the Self-Compassion Mindful workbook that I had been half-assing. Came up with my personal metta prayer, which was kind of cool. Then I had lunch at my favorite coffee shop. … Continue reading And Now This…
Tonight’s the Night!
https://youtu.be/IZr6AE-u2UM No. Not that kind of night. Although - this song and Rod Stewart always kind of turned me on. Nowadays, the song doesn't have quite as much appeal. Omg, in fact, now he reminds me of the kind of guy who talks about how great it's going to be and then it turns out … Continue reading Tonight’s the Night!
I Love a Good Sex Quiz
I found it on Facebook (of course, because Facebook is my life) and took the quiz because I really do enjoy answering questions and then getting some kind of response. Yes, classify me, quantify my urges, tell me if I'm normal or truly on the edge... So I took the quiz, which was going to … Continue reading I Love a Good Sex Quiz

Self-Compassion
I would really like to get Teacher Certification for the Self-Compassion Mindfulness Course. Really, really. But it would cost about $1,000, which I just don't have to spare. Oh, actually, it would be about $2K because there would be travel expenses. Plus maybe another $500 for the registry fee. Oh, plus loss of income for … Continue reading Self-Compassion
Mundane Moments
I woke up this morning wondering why no one had commented on this post. NO one. No one liked it. I tried to imagine what was wrong with it. And where was Roz? And now I realize, I didn't hit publish. There is a whole world of irony in that. It fits nicely with my … Continue reading Mundane Moments
