i thought we were getting out of our funk but it's slow going. Master has been getting up really early which is good but i haven't felt well at all. The pain is horrible most of the time but even still i try to something every day. Yesterday i did laundry and worked in the bedroom, getting clothes put away but that just about takes everything out of me. Today i just couldn't get going but now i've done a couple loads of laundry and i'm getting rugs washed. i still take care of the animals and Sundays i collect garbage, little stuff like that, it's not like i never get out of bed or shower. i still get in the shower and completely dressed it's just taking everything i've got to do all that it seems. Last night i made a nice dinner and we watched TV for a while and Master was tired so we both went to bed early even with plenty of sleep i still didn't get up early.
i'm trying to make things more appealing though and easier for myself, knowing that the kitchen is clean and i don't have to wake up to dirty dishes is a big relief, so i never go to bed with dirty dishes and i always make the coffee the night before. Little things like that do give me a little head start, i just wish i could just get a kick start, it will come, it always does, something will happen and i won't have a choice but to get up and get moving. Seems silly i'm sure but i hate to get up and see dishes all over, Master sometimes gets really mad if i'm doing dishes really late, so He makes me leave them. Then i just know i have to get up and go out to a nasty kitchen... ugh.
Master has wanted (needed) a bigger DVD rack so with the money He got for His birthday instead of buying one of those off the shelf racks, He's building one. A HUGE one lolol. It's going to be awesome and it will hold 900 DVDs. We're going to stain it to match the furniture in the basement family room. It will really be great to have something to hold all our movies. Right now we have so many that they are just pretty much stacked on any available surface. He's been hard at work down there all day and He's made really good progress in just one day. It'll be really nice when it's done.
That's all for me for today. i hope every is having a nice Sunday.

On Being A "Professional" Master/slave
We've never, ever wanted to be mistaken for any of the countless people who claim to be a Master or slave when in reality, they just pretend for money. There's potentially a fine line in other folks' perception, and I've gone to considerable effort to never cross that line. My treasure writes here because she enjoys it, she loves to get and reply to comments and she also does it because I require it. In the beginning, it was a blog, nothing more, nothing less. In the last few years, it has become not only a blog, but also a hub for all of our online activity. Some of that activity is done simply for fun, some of it is to feed some sort of narcissistic need for kudos that I still deny having, and some of it is done to try to supplement our income by sharing our real life with others who might be willing to toss a few bucks our way for a small window into our normal activities. Normal for us but mere fantasies to them, things that they can't get at home or simply things that get their blood flowing south. Like most people, we started out never showing our faces, never being specific about where we live, blah blah blah. One day, I decided that I was tired of acting like I was ashamed of Myself or My girl, just so someone I knew wouldn't find a photo that would make them all butt hurt because of their own insecurities and closed-mindedness. In a very short time, we had started making videos and posting non-anonymous pictures all over the place. Eventually, My girl started doing live cam sessions for cash and it's become a multifaceted "business". That's why we're making this page. I didn't want it on the front page of the blog because this is still her blog, and always will be, but we wanted to add a page for some of the money-making things that we do.
About two years ago, we decided to test the waters with Kindle publishing. For a nominal fee of 99 cents a month, you can get this blog automatically delivered to your Kindle. Unfortunately, this makes it less likely for My girl to get the comments that she so loves, so if you decide to go the Kindle route, please come back here later to leave that comment you were thinking about!
Lately, we've had gentlemen ask if it was possible to buy My treasure's worn stockings. If worn stockings is what you seek, then we are happy to oblige. We've charged very reasonable amounts in the past, and that won't change. Pricing will depend entirely on quantity, color, availability, your location and any other variables or requests. We get her stockings from Europe, and we only order a few times a year, so we may have limited color options at any given time. If you're interested in My girl's worn stockings, or any other requests for that matter, please email her directly at precioustreasure_md@yahoo.com. We've done custom videos and would also be happy to do custom photosets. If it turns you on, and you think we can provide it, please don't hesitate to ask.
About 2 and a half years ago, we also decided to start making videos for sale. We've had a banner on the front page, but we've never really promoted it at all. Well, I'm not really going to promote it too much here either, but if you'd like to check out our clips, you can find them here. You can also find some of them here.
My treasure has also started working as a cam girl on ImLive. There's a banner on the front for this as well, but you can also click here or on the banner below to find her over there or schedule a meeting with her.
Banners here also!

Looking better, yay
This week has been sort of nerve wracking. We contacted the credit union about refinancing the house, it's pretty important that we get this taken care of before Master's parents get any older. If something should happen to them we wouldn't want our house to be in question, no matter that Master built it and we've made every single payment. The loan person called back and i was in the shower, i called her right back and finally after three more days of unreturned phone calls, she finally got back to me. i was pretty convinced that they weren't working with us. Usually i figure if someone is doing business with you, they communicate with you. i guess she was just busy or whatever. Anyway, it looks good, better than we hoped even. i'm never one to put the cart before the horse, so to speak so i'm apprehensive but i'm hopeful and optimistic that it will turn out really well.
In other news lol... Master and i had this plan, He's been planning on building a very sturdy canopy bed, sturdy enough to attach hooks and eye bolts and well ya know, stuff to. We told His Mom that we are going to get a king memory foam mattress, we found one for a very reasonable price and we really have to do something about our sleeping arrangement. Monday she called and said she got us a 4 inch queen sized memory foam mattress topper. Umm... errr... Now, i was very thankful and i couldn't have thanked her more times. BUT. We. Just. Told. Her. i don't even have sheets that will fit over that mattress and ours together. /sigh. However, we took it cause she said that if we end up getting the king, we can give it back to her and she'll use it. Where i don't know cause their mattress is a gazillion feet tall as it is, but whatever. It was really nice of her and memory foam is super duper nice! wowzer.
We don't really have much planned this weekend, it's very cold so probably stay in and do the movie thing, probably snuggle on our comfy mattress, lololz.

Football and more
Today is pretty much nothing but football and food. Master has had this day planned since last Sunday. Master is making onion rings with a homemade new batter recipe He found on line and we're having home made hamburgers that He says are better than fast food hamburgers. i tend to agree but i know a lot of people don't think that way.
Yesterday started out good though, i was productive and made cookies. i got a bunch of stuff put away while Master worked in the basement. i worked until He worked and He worked until He put a few holes in His hand. That's usually what ends the scrapping, a hole or three in the hand. The scrapping isn't hard to do but the pieces are little and always sharp. We worked the other night/morning until about 5:30am and it's nearly done now. Compared to how much there was, it's nearly finished.
There's not much else, just life really, just day to day gettin' by type stuff. We're going to try to work on refinancing the house, we need to but it's tricky. It's not just a straight up loan, so we're starting that whole process over again. We'd been working on it last year before the whole country went to the dogs. It's time to start over again and hope that they'll work with us again. i just hope, the trouble i've been having communicating that i'm able to do this. i'm the one that is supposed to take care of it and i don't know if i'm up to it. i have a hard time just telling a short story let alone going through a whole loan process which isn't just a normal loan. These are the things that Master expects of me and things i used to be able to do at the drop of a hat. Anymore though just normal day to day is hard for me, so i can only do my best and worrying about it isn't going to make it any better. i'll just see how it goes but there is quite a bit riding on this.
i should get off here and get going for the day. i hope you're all have a happy Sunday.

i can't think of a title...
This has been a very odd week i think. We're trying to change our sleeping arrangements. i've mentioned before that Master can't really sleep on the mattress that we have so this week He tried to use pillows and stuff so He could sleep in the bed. Doing that though it ended up that His sleep schedule is even more messed up than ever so we've like barely seen each other.
i'm having a really hard time concentrating on anything and everything, i can't focus for more than a few seconds on one thing. my medicine got messed up and i had to skip a couple doses, that didn't help. The depths of winter i'm sure doesn't help my concentration much nor does a lot of pain. It's really easy to lose thoughts mid sentence, it drive Master crazy. i can't even express how aggravating it is to me when i know what i want to say and just can't say it. The worst part is, knowing how mad the person listening to me must be. Putting myself in their shoes, knowing that they must be so angry at me, just wanting me to spit it out and say what i have to say. That's probably the worst part and not being able to do anything about it.
Anyway, this is sort of jumbled i'm sure but it's about all i've got for now.
Peace to you and yours,

Peace to those in Haiti
i don't want to be completely in the dark and uninformed about the world and life in general but watching the news is just a bad idea for me, judge me if you will, that's the way it is. i watch it when it's on, i don't run screaming and bury my head in the pillows crying nor do i watch the clock for 5pm to strike and immediately turn on the tellie to catch every last bit i can.
A long time ago i said to Master that i have complete faith in Him that should a world event happen upon us that He feels i need to know about, He'll tell me straight away. Case in point, last night early on He'd heard about the tragic earthquake in Haiti but hadn't heard any details yet so hadn't taken the time to mention it to me. i was finishing up supper and He called out to me just that reminder, something like... "remember when you said that you'd rely on Me to tell you when I think there's something going on in the world that I think you need to know about....?" Apparently He'd been watching the evening news and the entire time the local news was running the ticker at the bottom was scrolling by with the tally of deaths in Haiti. There's nothing i can say about the horror, there aren't any words to describe the tragedy. Sometimes though, i am glad that He tells me what's going on or i'm glad that i watch the news myself. i'm reminded yet again that i am all too often self centered and that my head isn't where it should be. i'm thankful for the focus on others and so sad for the tremendous loss of life. i can only hope that the ones who were spared are able to find some semblance of peace.

Lots about not much
i was reading Kaya's post about another thing on Fetlife which took me back to Fetlife again today. hehe i'm not sure that Fetlife is really about D/s or BDSM than it is people looking for relationship therapy. The thing that i was hoping to find going there was like minded people talking about their kind of "kink" bleh that word... but yeah whatever. Instead what i find i go there is pretty much people on the brink of relationship suicide or worse, the real deal. Basically i think i was going there looking for friends, stable ones but i think i'm skeert. lol...
There's something seriously wrong with my monitor, i think. It's all sorts of messed up and bluish-purple funky colors that are messing with my eyes every time i stare at the screen too long. Master said that He'll have to hook up another monitor to my computer to see if that's what it is for sure. i love this monitor too, it's not even that old and it was such a huge present when we got it... /sigh. It's never looked right, we should have taken it back right away... bleh. They don't exactly give these things away either and there's no way we can afford to replace this exact kind.
This is just not a real exciting time right now, Master is working in the basement, then He'll start another big project. He's going to build a huge DVD rack that will hold about 900 DVDs or so. It should be really pretty, we haven't decided what color we'll stain it yet, but we have a while to decide that.
i was just looking out at other blog posts, getting ready to name this post and was sort of struck at the date of my first post. i've had this blog since 2004, i remember sending an email to someone asking them to add me on their blog as a link and they asked me to contact them after i had my blog for a year. They didn't have much faith in new bloggers because people don't generally stick around, i can't imagine how true that really is and i didn't blame them at all. How many people start a blog, make a couple posts and abandon it after a month or two? This certainly isn't the most stimulating, edge of your seat, toe curling blog you'll ever read but it is one thing. We're constant. There have been times when i've gone a long time between posts when things were tough with my Mom and i was gone a lot, but we're always here. When i went too long between posts i even had worry warts check up on me, that's a good feeling too. =) (you know who you are) =p
i'm glad that Master has made it a rule that i have to blog twice a week, even if i don't write about anything at all, at least i have to make it here a couple times a week and jabber. It might not be anything that anyone wants to read but that's not the point. The point is that sometimes it might help me or Him, sometimes i might just write something that He needs to know that i may not say to Him. i have such a hard time saying stuff out loud, i don't know why that is. The words don't come and when i try to say it, it's all jumbled up. Even when Master tries to be patient and wait for me to say something or tell Him something, i can't. A lot of it is the pain, that hasn't changed the whole time i've been here, words just get lost in my head and Master isn't as good at waiting as He used to be. That's just the way things work when you're together a while i think, things get old and less tolerable.
i used to have pain medicine for times like that but not anymore, now it's tylenol or tough it out. There is nothing more than that. The doctors aren't willing to allow me to go back into rebounding and we're not willing to go there either so if tylenol doesn't work it's just pain. i used to write about times like that too, this used to be nearly a pain blog and i haven't had a post like this for ages. i try not to even mention the word head or pain here at home because i think it sends chills down Master's spine when He hears it. i have a TENS unit now that He hooks up on me, and that always helps too. There are just sometimes no matter how hard i try or how often i try to think of something else or do something to keep my mind off it or how much tongue biting i do, i just have to say, "i'm hurting, i wish it would stop", but it never does, some day though, some day it will, it has to. This much i know.

Snowed In, Under, Over... lol
This last week has pretty much been all about the weather and getting Master's parents home safely from their trip. They were scheduled to return on Thursday, flying in from Virgina but they would have had to pass through Chicago into that horrible storm. They actually didn't know anything about the storm, they weren't keeping up with the weather back here and had they flown out they would have been stranded somewhere between Virginia and Georgia. So they postponed and in the mean time Master shoveled snow here, and the next day we went up to their house and got their drive way and vehicles all unburied and ready for their return. Everything worked out really well, His Mom and Dad were pretty grateful that Master called and told them that they should look into postponing their flight.
i felt bad for them when they got here yesterday afternoon. Master's Mom was really shocked at the cold. It was cold in Virginia but nothing like it is here and it really took her breath away. She was pale white for the first hour or so. When we got them into the van it was already warm, i handed her a warm blanket for her legs but it was still a while before she looked better. By the time we got home it was -6. (i know, that's warm for some of you folks) i think she was upset they came home at all at one point lol. Then we got to their house and we couldn't get our car out of their garage because of how we stored the vehicles over night. Their truck wouldn't start and it took maybe an hour to get it started. Bleh, the snow and cold suck haha.
As much organizing as Master has been doing the last week or so, it's the deep cleaning that doesn't show up on the surface. That's a nice way of saying that the house is still a mess. He's working from the inside out and organizing the pantry. The next thing He's going to do is take the mail off the table or counter. He is planning on making a mail station and using only that for mail. i'm pretty stoked about that! =)
i don't really have too much today. i think we're going to watch the play offs a little and tonight is movie night. Pretty sure that's the plan, i just need to come up with something for supper, at the moment i have nothing creative. Master says i'm not at all creative with recipes. i'm sure He's right about that. i used to be pretty creative about a lot of things but it wasn't really ever with cooking. Parties and stuff that was my thing but yeah not so much with food. i'll see what i can come up with. Seems like whenever i go look at magazines for recipe ideas the recipes are called "cheap, simple ideas". Their ideas of cheap and simple are NOT cheap and simple. Cheap is not fresh shrimp and artichoke hearts. Better yet something that you just *must* use only champagne vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for LOL.
These recipes send me with eyes rolling back to my own real life kitchen and my own boring recipes. Back to things that normal people actually have in their kitchen at any given time. i don't normally stock a brisket or a lemon just for zesting. =)
Have a happy Sunday!

Every little bit helps!
As we continue to simplify and work on recycling and reusing Master's current goal was to stop using plastic bottles as much as possible. We bought a case of bottled water this summer and i reused those same bottles until just a couple weeks ago. Master has been looking in to reusing plastic bottles and what people say about the positive and negative aspects of that. It's really just not a great idea to reuse plastic bottles over and over again and we've been doing it for years with our soda. Canned soda is outrageously expensive compared to 2liter bottles, so we buy the 2liters and fill a smaller bottle for easier transportation. We're still using some plastic, but much less and it's all being recycled.
Master did His normal Master type research and found that the healthiest beverage container is stainless steel, for which we thought we'd end up having to pay $20 per container. Which we were willing to do if it meant no more drinking out of plastic and less plastic use from us. As geeky as it may sound we were thrilled when we found stainless steel containers for $5 each, perfect for what we wanted. One more way to lessen our mark in the world and for a fraction of what we thought we'd have to pay.
We recycle just about everything, we don't fill our kitchen garbage can once a week because of all the stuff we recycle. So it's pretty plain to see that we get sort of hyped up about something that seems rather benign lol.
That's it for me! Have a good night!

Master did His normal Master type research and found that the healthiest beverage container is stainless steel, for which we thought we'd end up having to pay $20 per container. Which we were willing to do if it meant no more drinking out of plastic and less plastic use from us.

Shock Value?
i think in the extremely short time i've been reading posts over at Fetlife i have already figured out why i haven't been active there before. It's a wonderful site, don't get me wrong but i'm not sure if it's right for me. i've just already come across several examples of why i don't think it might be right for me.
i'm not really all that comfortable giving or getting advice in a public forum and in the end those people are going to do exactly what they planned on doing before they ever posed the question. They were just posting the question in the hope that someone might validate them and when they aren't validated, that's when everything goes haywire. So here is something i just witnessed and didn't/can't comment on because i do not feel that i'm in any position to do so. i'm not a BDSM expert or any type of authority. i'll be vague i'm not going to steal any topic but here is what i'll say; someone said *I love the shock value of this life, I love to see the look on their face* (that's not verbatim).
i brought this here because it's a good topic for me to write about and i just don't feel right about condemning someone for how they live this life, i don't know them nor do i know why they've gone into this life. If i were to write about this anywhere other than on my blog i can't personalize it but i have to say that if i were in this lifestyle for the shock value that i think i am in it for all the wrong reasons. This lifestyle isn't about shock value or the element of surprise. It's not about getting a reaction from someone when i tell them what i'm about or why i live and love the way i do. Living this life is about happiness and finding love and fulfillment in a manner in which satisfies me.
Now i will say something that will seem incredibly unfair but those people who are going for the shock value only and trying to merely impress, those people are making a mockery of this lifestyle that the realists hold dear. Those of us who live this life and need this life to go on from day to day, we need this life to remain real and true. There may be some things that i do every single day that are truly breathtaking and unbelievable that i simply don't write about. The fact that i don't write about them doesn't mean they don't happen it only means that i might not share them here. my life with Master is fairly strict and startling to some but to us it's the life that we hold most precious. Please don't diminish the true meaning BDSM for a quick fix.
Peace to you and yours,

Food Stuffs
i had thought about doing one of those year in review posts but i think i would be lucky if i could remember a week in review. So i decided to pass on that. i'm sure if i went back over old posts i could remember highlights of what happened over the course of the year and other major events that i may not have written about but i'm not sure.
We were sitting on the couch last night looking at a stack of DVD's probably more than 2 feet high and now we just have to sit down to watch them. The DVD player in the living room hasn't worked in years but that really is of no consequence anyway, Master only watches major movies on the big screen TV in the family room in the basement. i just wish it worked because i'm a "watch a movie over and over" type of gal. We have a couple other DVD players in the house but they're in use. i told M last night i wish i had asked for one of those cheap players for Christmas this year. The living room is the most comfortable place for me, to watch movies.
Sounds like the DVD that M made for His brother and family as a Christmas present went over well, they called to say thank you. i'm sure they must have liked it, they were all laughing and talking about it when they called. For the time and effort He put into it, i'm sure they must have loved it.
Things are slow for us right now, the dead of winter, it's bitter cold outside right now and we barely want to venture outside. Master has scrapping to finish up and that project has been moved to the basement for the winter, when His parents get home from their trip i'll be going over there to clean from the holiday celebrations. Until they get home i'll work here to get things back in order. There is very little to put away as there was very little put out this year. We continue to simplify our lives the more we find that we just don't need or that we can live without, Master cuts back just a bit for savings sake and more often than not it's something i don't even notice.
i was looking into trying my hand at baking bread this may or may not be cost effective. The initial investment could easily put us way over what a years worth of bread would cost us depending on what type of yeast we would buy. Not to mention the energy bill just to bake the bread. More than anything i thought it might be fun just to try it once. There are many recipes i've been looking at lately that i can't even try without having dry yeast on hand. We made curly fries the other night. They were in the most natural form. They went from potato to fry, no seasoning, nothing. We even left the skins on the potato. The only thing we did wrong was leave them in the cooker too long, i think. We were waiting on them to brown more than they were willing. When they came out, i used a bit of garlic salt and they had a wonderful flavor but it was obvious they had been in a little too long. Master said that it's ridiculous for anyone to buy bagged frozen fries when you can make them yourself so cheap. But... we already had the potato curly fry thingy from ages ago.
That's it for me, sorry this was such a food heavy post. i guess that just sums up what i've been doing lately though. Have a good Saturday.
