Super quick post

We've had a busy week this week getting ready for company, we're really excited to spend the weekend with Master Dark and His desyre. They'll be here late tonight and we'll have the weekend to spend with them.

i really hope we have nice weather this weekend. We've finally gotten the pool cleaned and now i think it's too cold to swim in lol. It's incredible how cold it's been this summer! i don't mind it just for the temperature itself but for swimming it's just not warm enough to heat up the pool.

i really have a whole lot of nothing to say today, we're just spending the day getting ready for our company. i am really looking forward to seeing them!

Have a good Friday!

For us, it's a busy time!

Last week was a busy week for us with Master's brother in town. We spent a lot of time with them at Master's sister's house and one day we all went to play miniature golf. This weekend we got a weekend off from the cabin and next weekend we won't be going either. Master was actually planning on going down there and taking something to grill Himself but when He buzzed His buddy, He was already eating. Oddly though, He knew that Master was planning on coming down to grill and they had talked about it. Master said something like "you never eat this early" and all he said was "yeah well, tonight's different". Nothing else, no apology for not calling Master to let Him know that plans might have changed or to let us know, for all he knew we might have gone out to buy something and prepared something to take down there to grill. Master never said another word on the walkie and neither did he. Master stayed home all night and we had supper together and we chatted on line with friends.

i just feel awful when someone is mean to Master, i don't know if Master felt as bad about it as i did but what a rotten thing for him to do. i don't care how much fun he is to be around or how funny he might be occasionally, no one is worth putting up with stuff like that and it's happening all too often. Friendships are supposed to be fruitful and enpowering, these relationships are damaging. True that we don't have anyone else local to hang out with but it would be healthier for us to search for other people to hang out with than spend any more time with them.

Last night we went through Master's rules for me again, i have a love/hate relationship with those rules. i like to go through them with Master but it's always a reminder of the work i need. i read them every day and the full list every Monday. When we go through them together it's an eye opener though of the real work i need.

We have quite a bit to do this coming week and i would like to get some stuff done today, i guess i'll have to see what's on Master's mind for today. i better sign off here if i want to get anything done!

Happy Sunday!

The littlest things mean so much

When my Mom died i was given a bunch of her clothes because i was the closest to her size but still i was a bit bigger than her. We took the best of her clothes, most of them still with tags, others barely worn to the local resale shop and see if they might sell, after i had another look through them. For whatever reason, those clothes stayed in the trunk of the car for ages and i mean ages. Until finally one day Master said enough was enough and we had to bring them inside and we'd go through them together. Neither of us realized the timing. Since her death, i had taken off a significant amount of weight and as i was trying on all these clothes, surprisingly, they fit perfectly. i had expected to toss them all into a pile to take to the resale shop but item after item was fitting really well. So Master allowed me to keep most everything.

There was one brand new sweater that i remember my Mom buying, she was excited about it, but she never had a chance to wear it and it still had the tags on it. It has become my favorite sweater. When our kitty got sick i was trying to give her some medicine, she scratched me and now it has a hole, right in the front and it's basically ruined. How stupid is it that i'm so sad about this sweater being ruined? i looked on e-bay this morning to see if there just might be another one on there like it but she bought it so long ago there's no way i'll find this sweater again. It wouldn't be the same anyway.

i think i have to be grateful that i was able to wear it for that long and enjoy it for as long as i was. Had we taken the clothing to the resale shop right away or had i tried the clothes on right away, i wouldn't have been able to wear anything. As it was, by waiting as long as we did, i had lost enough weight to wear almost everything. =)

It's raining today, i think i'll do something fun, like clean the bedroom haha!

Peace to you and yours,

Free Weeds!

Yesterday afternoon M's Mom called and said that they were on their way over so M's Brother could see the deck and pool. M's brother hasn't ever seen the finished project as he lives in Virginia. So that got us motivated to work outside a bit and as soon as i'm done with a few chores inside i would like to head back out for a while.

M tossed the football around a bit with His brother and nephew for a bit then everyone decided that pizza sounded better than watching M's Mom and i weed! hmph!

When we got home we spent part of the evening chatting with the couple that Master helped get together. We have a really fun time when we're chatting with them. She even made a blog last night, i'll have to ask if it's alright for me to link her blog on here. If so, i'll do it on my next post. Her Master gave her a beautiful name and M found that URL was available!

Well, i'm off to weed, bleh, it's seriously an evil job. Have a happy Sunday!

Brrr... July? really?

This seems like it's been the longest week. Master worked on His Mom's shower remodeling job and i went with Him for two days to help her clean. Master's brother and family were expected to be here Friday morning sometime from Virginia so there was a real rush to get that shower done at least enough to use. i ended up with a slight touch of the flu or something so i stayed home Thursday while Master went to finish up as much as He can until the plaster work is finished. Only a few hours after Master finished up the shower His brother and family rolled into town lol. Just in time haha.

Last night we went to Master's Mom's for a cook out and a bon-fire. We had a nice time but pretty much everyone was very tired, i was still a little worn out from whatever it was that i had so i was glad to get home as well. We're all amazed at how cold it was last night, we were totally bundled up and sitting close to the fire in the middle of July, craziness! It's still cold today and it doesn't look like it's going to warm up any time soon, some summer we're having. bleh

i hope it warms up though we're having company in a couple weeks and we'd like to at least use the pool a little this summer! Speaking of the pool, i think Master said we're working on it again today... i better scoot!

Happy Saturday

Gloomy Sunday

We're going to Master's Mom's house in a little while, i get to "help" with construction... ha.ha. That should be funny. Especially considering Master's mood today. Lets just say it's less than jovial. It started out with a reminder phone call to pay a "not yet over-due" bill. i don't even know why they make those calls, i am fairly sure it's just to make people like Master extremely mad, and it works every single time. Master gets overly angry though.

Then i told Him about the ants again and He got so furious at me that He walked out of the den and threw something, His soda i think. He's mad because i obsess about ants in the house. i've been trying all summer to keep the ants out of the house with cleaning and vinegar and a few ant traps. For the most part it's been working, they aren't on the counters and they aren't nearly as bad as they have been in years past. Our neighbor ended up having to get an exterminator. There is no way to avoid them, we live in sand, in this area, everyone gets ants, that's just the way it is, but the last couple years they've been pretty bad and no matter how hard i try i can't get rid of them alone. i get them down to just about nothing and then they pop up again. So i go weeks without mentioning them and once i mention them again, He completely goes off the handle. i just can't handle knowing they are around and i go on for a couple days and as much as i try not to say anything, today i had some on my shoes and feet. When i told Him about it... i had really wished i hadn't. *sigh* i know that if i'm diligent with them, i'll get rid of them. They hate vinegar, sadly, so does Master and these are in the den, the place that He spends most of His time when He's home, so this one is going to be a tough one to balance.

Anyway, i better get scooting off here so i can get ready to go. Master is taking a short nap before we leave, hopefully when He wakes up He'll be in a little bit better mood.

Green Pools and ... Cupid?

Just one of those weeks where it seems like everything is going wrong or just bleh. The weather seems like it's never going to warm up, we can't seem to get the pool to cooperate at all, no matter how much time and money we spend on it! We've spent what seems like a ton of money and we have spent a ton of time on that stupid thing and it seems to be a theme around these parts, no one has clear water this year. U G H!

Master was getting ready to leave Wednesday morning to work at His Mom's house, i was planning on working on the pool all day, i ran out to flip the switch on the pump and -nothing-. Again, nothing. The seal was broken, getting water into the pump, throwing the breaker. Blah blah blah... the pool pump was broken. Master had been saying for the last couple weeks it was dying and it's only 2 years old, just barely 2 years old! One good thing happened, great thing actually, we took it to get it fixed yesterday and it was fixed in one afternoon for about 1/3 of the cost we expected! YaY!

One exciting thing has taken place in the last few weeks and it's pretty much all cause of Master. He hooked up with an old friend on facebook, a gal that He and His ex used to spend time with her and her then husband. He also hooked up with a buddy that He used to work with also on facebook. Master introduced them on line and she just moved from Nebraska to live with him in Iowa! When Master first found her she was so very sad, super lonely and Master's buddy had broken up with his girlfriend, they were both seriously miserable. She was naturally pretty scared but it really seems to be going well, she is wearing a new collar but in general they are taking the D/s aspect very slowly. She has lived the lifestyle for a long time but he is new to it and Master is being the best mentor He knows how. i just can't believe what a miracle it seems to be that they were both so miserable just a few months ago to how happy they both are today. Master couldn't be happier, i think He feels like cupid! <3 They'll be here in a couple weeks for the weekend, we're really excited to see them together!

We're going to a fish fry tonight, too bad i don't like fish huh? haha!

Have a good weekend!

Happy 4th!

i hope everyone had a good 4th, it seems like this weekend has been a little longer because most everyone had Friday off. We went to Master's Sister's house on Friday night for a cook out and to our friend's cabin later that night. We were tempted not to go to the cabin at all for the 4th and we should have gone with that gut feeling. Every time we go down there things get worse. This time the rain drove us all inside the cramped cabin with the poorly behaved children and that's never a good thing. i think sooner or later we're going to have to come to terms with the fact that we just can't spend time with them or limit our time drastically when the kids are around. This particular time it took nearly 15 minutes and quite a bit of screaming to get one child out of Master's chair so the adults could all sit together around the table. She refused to get up, making it impossible for Master and i to squeeze in and sit around the table. It was quite the scene and it was literally no less than a 15 minute ordeal and so very uncomfortable. Just another example of terrible parenting and horrible behavior, i wanted sooooo badly to say Master "Well should we just go? There's no were to sit" But it would have just caused a scene. The whole time they are screaming at this child to get up out of the chair because until she does, we can't sit and she's refusing to move. Oh and you might think the kid is like 4 or 5 years old, no, she's 14.

Yesterday we went back to Master's sister's house for fireworks and we were supposed to have a bonfire but it poured all day it just stopped raining in time for the ground to be dry enough to sit outside but not really dry enough for wood to be dry for a fire. They had TONS of fireworks, they set them off for like 2 hours or more. i like it when they are more private like that you don't have to deal with the crowds, the only bad thing for me is the noise, by the end i was really hurting but it went away fairly quickly.

Today is more 4th stuff, we're having supper at Master's Mom's then i think we're about all 4th'd out lol. Today is the first sunny day we've had in ages!

i hope everyone had a safe holiday weekend!

Just thinkin'

i've been thinking on and off about Kaya made "Master or Dad?" and it's made me think more along the lines of the rules that Master has set for me and why i really do well with rules. The more the better actually. i think i crave a rules in my life now because i didn't really have them when i was growing up and isn't that pretty much a common thread amoung us? A lot of us look to fullfill something in our adult life that which was missing in our childhood. How we go about it however is what is left up to us.

Those of us in this lifestyle seem to have gone about fullfilling that gap or need fairly agressively i would tend to reason. i think that a Mother giving her children a lot of rules to follow or being fairly strict with her children might compensate for what she herself missed in her own childhood. We see that kind of behavior every day, people living vicariously through their children every day. It's become the norm and nearly the expected, the soccer Mom screaming in the stands perhaps because she didn't have the chance to play herself or she misses the time when she was able to play. The one who is intensely into her childs music lessons because she wasn't given the chance to take the lessons that she desperately wanted. We all know the stories.

What i love about this lifestyle is that every situation is unique to us and who we are and what we need. Master knows how i tick and that i needed those rules in order to operate well. It took a long time for us to figure it out and we're still figuring things out. Sometimes i think that i'm here with Master because i needed to serve Him way more than He needed or wanted a slave. i'm sure that i could have existed in a vanilla relationship but i really don't think i could have thrived. Perhaps He would argue that point all i know is that i am where i should be.
