One Day at a Time 2008-05-22 15:37:00 I'm a little on edge. It's been a ... difficult week here, but we have Internet and phone service, the electric is on, and we're not watching the forest burn around our home.
And in the midst of the phone company's departure, Chris texted me from work about the Texas appeals ruling. In the ruling, the judges wrote,

Beginning Upside Down 2008-05-23 19:08:00 This is very unfinished and unedited, and Blogger keeps f*$king up the formatting but I don't want to take the time to enter hard returns everywhere... I just want to know if you (those of you willing to read it through the messed up paragraph breaks) think it might go somewhere in a top/bottom responsible-romantic sort of way. Also, I need to decide if either hero or heroine have any glimmer of
Forgive and Forget (or Don't Go To Bed Angry) 2008-05-25 09:54:00 *I am sometimes - okay, recently - amazed when people declare that Chris and I are enviable, that we have something with each other ... but then I remember. We really do have a little sparkle of something. Still, what we want and need out of our relationship is not the same thing that another person - or another couple - wants from his, hers and theirs.
Why, say you? Because, say I. Not because
Holy Glee 2008-05-29 13:24:00 After her bath three nights ago, the princess went into her room to select pajamas while I straightened the bathroom.
I wandered in a minute later to discover that she hadn't exactly looked in the pajama drawer yet. No, instead I found her completely naked, looking at her bottom in the mirror, and smacking it.
She was laughing with holy glee. "Look Mommy!" she squealed. "I'm smack
The Doorbell 2008-06-04 19:43:00 My mistake was in washing my hands before I pulled my pants up.
Really, I'm washing them at my bathroom sink, pants and panties around my ankles. Our phone rings.
The only person who calls our home phone regularly is Chris. I didn't think he'd care if I answered the phone with a bare bottom, so (wet hands and all) I threw myself across the bed to answer the phone.
For a second I thought about

Check out this column published today by Catherine Townsend at The Independent. An excerpt reads:
"Her prejudices are even more ridiculous because, by her own admission, she never made it to bed with any English men (though she speculated that she would have been asked to partake in "naughty" scenarios!). That's her loss. I Read more:Sleeping

Genetics at Play 2008-07-02 20:00:00 A few days ago, my dad opened up his Yahoo! e-mail while, quite by coincidence, I was standing in the room behind him.
The message contained an embedded video and the distinct sound of thumping immediately ensued. Quite naturally and almost in shock, I glanced up. There, on the screen while my dad was sputtering with nervous laughter, was a woman dressed up as a schoolgirl, wielding a paddle, on Read more:Genetics
They Will Hurt 2008-06-28 20:00:00 Chris has requested/directed/requested/required a list of ten punishments described by me that are to be posted on my blog. Only two may qualify as "traditional" (for us) spanking scenes^ - the others may incorporate but not be wholly composed of spanking.
By punishments, he means that they must incorporate significant pain to some part of my body - not damaging or dangerous pain but so
Begin Again 2008-06-26 11:42:00 Chris and I have been apart for about three weeks - a little more on the calendar, a little less geographically.... Usually about mid-May, my job spirals out of my control. It requires long hours, including many in the evening and on into early morning, culminating in a full seven days away from home. Even the princess left to escape my distraction.
During this time, our relationship necessarily Read more:Again
Fate is Against Me 2008-07-15 11:00:00 I tried to break a rule. Really.
Chris has taken it into his wonderful, caring head that I have too much sugar and caffeine in my diet. Yes, I have admitted this in the past. It gets worse every year in May and June because those are the months where I get very little sleep and almost no playtime.
This year, when it was decided that some things had to change and improve, my consumption of
About The Big Read 2008-07-13 11:00:00 [For smut, scroll down. It's in the article below this one.]
There have been some fantastic comments about the list I posted, and I am ever so honored that a few people have taken it up.
The fact is, I've been reading more about The Big Read since I posted the list and I find it to be a fascinating project for the National Endowment of the Arts to fund and promote - I confess to ignorance as to
Stewed 2008-07-11 14:45:00 So, um, just in case you wanted to know what happened when Chris was finished stewing me up with anxiety, arousal and nervousness the other night, I'm going to tell you.
He tied a folded bandana over my eyes as a blindfold and had me lie face up on the bed and told me to keep my hands out of the way. (His real blindfold is apparently MIA. I presume it's in his office somewhere, but he didn't
Stewing 2008-07-09 12:16:00 For those of us with temperments, a bit of high-handedness in our bloodstreams and other less-than-appreciated traits, Hermione has an idea that might help avoid the hairbrush - or at least delay it for the sake of laughing a few minutes. I do question its effectiveness but love the originality!
NOT that it's likely to make any difference to me. No, you see, Chris has it in for me. He's tripping
My Mistress 2008-07-07 12:04:00 Yesterday afternoon, I was having trouble with motivation. As in, I was having trouble being motivated to go upstairs, start dinner, do the dishes, fix lunches for Monday, fix more dinner, pack the backpack, etc.
Chris came in the bedroom, where I was comfortably ensconced in a chair reading The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton*.
He came back twenty minutes later and I was still there. "I Read more:Mistress
The Big Read 2008-07-03 14:09:00 I don't usually do memes, but hey, this is a book thing. From Broken World Diaries:
The Big Read reckons that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they’ve printed.
1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you started but did not finish.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own blog so we can try and track down these

Curiosity 2008-07-30 10:25:00 Most of our toys are kept high out of reach. So high that I have to stand on the bed to retrieve them. But the spreader bar is in the bottom of my pajama drawer. We have nipple clamps, a toothbrush and a Wartenburg wheel in bra drawer, a corset in the jewelry armoire and a vibrator and a hairbrush are in a little bag near the bed.
Oh, and there's a long, lovely leather flogger hanging in my
Number 2 - Thighs 2008-07-28 11:00:00 Paul and Lucy from Northern Spanking have made a statement regarding the Max Mosley affair and its impact on the British spanking & BDSM scene. Please read about their experience with the case and the 'scene' in their own words.

Ice Cream Cake is a Flu Therapy 2008-07-26 09:36:00 My favorite - but not the most important! - line from the Mosley judgment:
"The Claimant, for reasons best known to himself, enjoyed having his bottom shaved.... He explained to me that while this service was being performed he was (no doubt unwisely) 'shaking with laughter'. I naturally could not check from the DVD, as it was not his face that was on display."
The poor judge must have Read more:Cream

News of the (Spanking) World 2008-07-24 17:05:00 Many spankos (and non-spankos) have been following the Max Mosley case across the pond. The justice returned a verdict today and... hallelujah!
"But I don't watch spanking videos!" you say. Neither do I, actually. Nor do I pay for memberships to spanking sites (all right, Chris pays for one and only one). But I say it's still something all of us should understand and know about - the j Read more:Spanking

A Romp for the Rump 2008-07-23 05:00:00 I know I'm in a state of anxious need. I mean, whenever I get my head out of a funk or parenting pattern long enough to think for five minutes, the urge to get down on my knees and beg Chris to fuck me hard or to fuck me with something hard is almost overwhelming.
Oh, I'm not complaining. We've had excellent sex. While my admittedly slutty anal sex fetish has been thoroughly satisfied,
Tawdry or Tragedy 2008-07-21 05:00:00 A discussion on a Fetlife group led me to erotica writer Lora Leigh. Now, I've got a Kindle, so when the contributors to the discussion consistently mentioned her Bound Heart series, I went looking for the Kindle versions.
Only the ninth and newest book - Wicked Pleasure - is on Kindle, so I bought it, fully realizing I was reading out of order.
After that I immediately started looking for the Read more:Tragedy
Add to Wish List 2008-07-19 07:00:00 I have had, in the past, a kinky wish list in the sidebar or nearby. It's been gone for awhile - mostly because Chris bought nearly everything on it.
So it ... drifted away. But lately, with the advent of my Kindle, I've been reading more than ever (and spending more money on books than ever). Unfortunately, a good number of my favorite erotica and romance publishers haven't thoroughly embraced
Girl Time 2008-07-17 05:30:00 If Iris could have spanked me through her cell phone on Saturday, I think she would have. You see, she really does hold me accountable for M's inspired injunction against having an orgasm while he was away.
And I'm afraid that, while we were texting on the subject, I was not completely sympathetic to her agony. Although I did advise her that cleaning the bathrooms sometimes helps push away that
Avatar Library 2008-07-01 02:18:00 Unlike some of my compatriots, I don't have that many avatars. But I do have these. And I need to be able to access them at will. So bah. Here they are:

The Will Not be a Naughty Girl theme

Reliable 2008-08-16 03:05:00 Two nights ago, I found Chris dozing on the bed and climbed up beside him, sitting cross-legged on the duvet. His eyes fluttered open. "Yes?" he prompted.
"Will you please spank me tonight, sir?" I asked quietly.
"Yes," he mumbled, staring at me.
I waited a moment but he didn't make any additional comment. "Um, would you prefer to do it now or later?" I f Read more:Reliable
Six Times 2008-08-14 00:49:00 Six times. I think.
I'm exhausted, happy and drowning in work.
It's not much of a blog post, but that's really the best I can do in the middle of the night with two hours more of extremely boring data to process. Contrary to what one would normally expect, the six orgasms will actually help me get it done.

Jane Eyre 2008-08-12 08:11:00 A relatively strong (but not obsessed) determination to go down the Top 100 Big Read list led me back to Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I read this in high school, and as I read it again more of it came back to me.
I remember being quizzed again and again on the early parts of the book - the abusive childhood, the deplorable conditions of Lowood. I remember long lectures from my English lit

"Don't plan on going upstairs tonight, after she's in bed," you whisper in my ear. "You're mine."
My heart beats faster. "Yes, sir," I whisper back, aware of little ears....
