It's another lovely day here, and I'm enjoying the long weekend, even though I'm working some. I'm also spending time organizing my office some more and getting ready for Christmas, so that's pretty cool. We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day, with lots of room for gratitude and love, and I hope you did too. I … Continue reading Hanging Out on Saturday
Pondering
Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was another lovely day, a big part of the day spent exploring the island I was on with my daughter and the grands. That's just a treat all by itself. But I was thinking about my career path (if you can call it that, feels like a career dead-end at the moment, but hopefully, … Continue reading Home Again, Home Again
From the Retreat
It is really beautiful here. Lots of live oak trees. And the ocean is just a short walk away. It was cloudy in the morning, but the sun came out later, temps in the low seventies, and it was perfect for walking on the beach yesterday. Cloudy and cooler today, but that's ok too. I … Continue reading From the Retreat
Sunday, 11-3
I'm having surgery tomorrow, getting 4 dental implants. I may have mentioned this before. It will be about 7 hours of dental work. Oral sedation. I am - anxious. Eager to get it over with. Afraid of what it will be like - during and after. But glad that it's finally time to do it. … Continue reading Sunday, 11-3
Not for Kids (and not Kinky either)
I started to title this post "Elmo's Song," but I was afraid it might show up in a search for All Things Elmo and didn't want some child disillusioned. But Elmo's Song is in my head today, https://youtu.be/vSYadh2xmcI "This is the song, lala, Elmo's song..." You should try singing it with your own name. It's … Continue reading Not for Kids (and not Kinky either)
Soothing Sunday
It rained all day yesterday, which was soothing in its own way, but today is going to be sunny and pleasant. We're dropping my daughter at the airport and I'm taking the kids to the park right after that. Although - as I look out my window, maybe we're actually not. It looks like more … Continue reading Soothing Sunday
The Quote Challenge
I was over on Ms. Dixie Wrecked's blog, Smiling Through the Evil, and saw that they had accepted a "Quote Challenge." They didn't challenge anyone else, but when I read it, I thought, "Me, me, Call on me!!" I love quotes - as you may have noticed! So I took up the challenge, and then … Continue reading The Quote Challenge
Power Exchange Relationships
MP likes to watch TV while he works (yes, he can definitely do both.) Since we don't have cable, we don't get a lot of channels, so he usually watches that channel that plays shows from the 50s and 60s, some from the 70s. But all really old shows, some of them even before my … Continue reading Power Exchange Relationships
Once upon a time…
This is a true story. Once upon a time, about 2004, i was still in my late 40s and just beginning to get interested in the real world of kink. i was newly aware that a whole bunch of people were doing things that would thrill and delight me and didn't end up with me … Continue reading Once upon a time…
Like Agnostic Zetetic Says…
I was looking for quotes related to "work" and found this lovely series of quotes from Agnostic Zetetic, whom I had never heard of. I saw this one first and it just made me laugh. "There is a certain loveliness, I think, to performing deep cleaning in one’s underwear on a beautiful summer day.” ― Agnostic … Continue reading Like Agnostic Zetetic Says…
