New Year Resolution Or Not?

Hopefully, we're in for the next couple of days, that's the plan at least. We worked last night and went to the store for a few things for tonight and tomorrow. Master's parents were going to come over tonight until we forgot that Master's dad was going to work tonight. He always works on Saturday nights, we just didn't think about him working, being sort of a holiday and all. Anyway, we'll just get together with them tomorrow, not a big thing. Master and i usually go somewhere and play games every New Years Eve. This year we're staying home and doing our own thing. i don't like being out driving after everyone's been drinking and it's just so much safer being home.

i woke up early this morning with this constant fairly nasty stomach pain, i only have a few short hours to get rid of it so i can enjoy some fun snacks and maybe a very rare cocktail with Master tonight! So far everything i've tried doesn't seem to be working so i might just have to ignore it so we can have a good night! i'll deal with it tomorrow! ha!

i've been reading how some people plan for the year to come or make lots of goals and resolutions i'm not all that great with strict planning. Master and i are pretty good with ticking off lists of things to do but not in any time line. We focus on things that need to get done around the house and we know if one thing must take precedence over another. i don't need to write down that i want to get in shape and eat right, that's common sense. i might need to write down that i would like to remember to weigh myself every Monday morning though until it became a habit.

The best planning and goal setting for me comes from Master i am terrible at self goals. If He were to say you're going to have supper ready every night by 7pm. To me then, that's a rule set in place and i'll make it happen if we're home and i'm able. That's not a goal, that's a rule. Goals don't really work for me so much it's either there, or it's not. Unless it's a weight loss goal, then of course it's a goal set. If Master told me i had to lose weight, that would be very hard, but i think in my mind i believe i would have to do it. It's not something i've considered before.

i've just never believed in New Years Resolutions, that whole "I'm going to quit drinking" or "I'll stop eating chocolate"... blah blah. People think a new year is a great way to get a fresh start on things and that might be a good way to look at it. i just don't want to lie to myself and make these huge unrealistic goals! haha

Have fun and be safe tonight, whatever you do! Have a very happy new year!

Peace to you and yours,

Our Christmas

Master and i has such a busy Christmas eve and Christmas day that we decided to wait for our presents until yesterday. We wanted to take our time and i always like to make the days last anyway. So after we got up and got cleaned up for the day, Master said that He wanted me dressed in my underthings only. Every year He has me in something different, this was going to be my "dress" for opening gifts this year. There is almost always some sort of add-ons if you will once i'm dressed. This year there were many! Once i was all made up and ready Master added His own accessories to my outfit. First a different collar, the metal one with the silicone, leather wrist cuffs, He hobbled my ankles with chain and then another pair of cuffs on my wrists, metal ones with a length of chain holding them together for a bit of mobility to allow me to open gifts.

Now we're ready to open gifts! Places everyone! =)

So we do it the same way pretty much every year. Because Master goes a bit over-board every year with gifts, we don't wrap much. We wrap one gift and open that on Christmas eve, the other gifts are mostly in our stocking or from Santa. Santa just puts everything on the chairs or the couch and covers it up with a big blanket. We also save our gift giving throughout the year for the this one day, not much for birthdays and other days, because this is the one day that we really enjoy giving gifts.

So we take turns a couple at a time for me and then a couple for Master and we take pictures of it all. Yesterday Master had the camera running as well. The animals get stockings too, little treat snacks and such. It's hilarious how they know they are getting presents. As soon as it's present time and they see us sitting by the stockings or hear a present opening, even the kitty comes right out! The best thing about Santa is that he's on the look out for bargains all year! He bought me a dress off the rack for $6 at the end of the summer and saved it for Christmas! He's a smart shopper that one. i got many gifts like that, many that i had forgotten about even Master got something He'd forgotten about! hahaha!!

We had a lovely Christmas at Master's parents house and the most fun just here at home alone. After we were finished with our gifts i had prepared an Egg Strata to put in the oven the night before so we tossed that in and started putting things away. Master had gotten me a lovely red dress and i asked if i could try that on once all the gifts were open, i had been in my underthings all day and with the exception of a new long slip He'd allowed me to try on, i was quite chilly! haha. He said that i could try the dress on so once i had the dress on, Master said i could keep that on and wear it for the remainder of the day.

Then we got ready for movie night! We were SO excited because we were going to watch the long awaited DolpinTale! It did NOT disappoint us either. Master said that He couldn't give it 5 stars but i would have, had i rated it, for sure! i just thought it was amazing. To this day you can go see "Winter", the dolphin here any time. It's a live feed. It's a really small pool so she doesn't swim a lot, i think that must be by design.

Well that's it for me today. i hope everyone had a wonderful, safe Christmas.

A Very Merry Chrismas!

Master and i are getting ready to leave to go to His Aunts house for a Christmas Eve dinner that she has every year. i love this night! We go looking at Christmas lights after we leave there and it's always a good time! Tonight when we get home we'll share one gift and it's usually a very late night!

i still have cooking to do for tomorrow for Master's Mom and Dad's house that i didn't get done today but we'll get it done, if i have to stay up until 4am, HA! i'll get it done one way or another.

i don't have much time but i wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my blogger friends out there and everyone who stops by!

Peace to you and yours!

Traditions

i was just talking to my brother and thinking about all of our family traditions. my Mom made pretty much the same foods every Christmas eve and then we all opened presents. She didn't even make us wait until the dishes were done to open presents, not that i remember, anyway.

When we were little we were ushered upstairs to the living room and my Grandma read The Night Before Christmas while Santa visited in the basement. Santa had a very jolly laugh, much like my Grandpa, who was also very large and jolly himself. Huh, strange. =) When the story was over my Grandma told that it was time for gifts. i only remember this happening one year, i'll assume it was more than once.

In later years when there were grandchildren, my Grandma (their Great-Grandma) would take them to the living room and read The Night Before Christmas from the very same book, from my childhood, while Santa visited. my Grandma was the best story teller i've ever known. When the coast was clear, Santa's jingle bells would ring and Grandma would tell the kids that it was time. Although the kids were anxious for their gifts, Grandma was captivating and no one was ever in a hurry to leave her side when she was reading. Often times it wasn't just the kids who would go listen to Grandma read, the adults would go listen as well. =)

Somewhere along the way someone, i'm not sure who, decided that the opening of gifts was just going too quickly, it may have even been me. So we started going one gift at a time, oldest to youngest, youngest to oldest, it didn't matter. Yes, it took a while but we all got to see who got what and from whom and we didn't fly through the gifts like it was a race. It also gave us time to appreciate the day and the gifts more. People spend so much time shopping, choosing the right gift, that it's all over in 10 minutes. Why not take a while to enjoy it all? So we did and we still do to this day, with Master's family as well. We love it and now we all get to see what we all got. It also gave my brother a chance, every single year to cheat. He unwrapped every present out of turn, swore he didn't then would try to wrap it back up before anyone would notice. We have several pictures of him doing just that.

Master and i have made many new traditions that i love also, we open one present on Christmas Eve and save the rest for Christmas morning. Every year we watch Emmet Otters Jug Band Christmas which is amazing!!! So there's no way i could pick a favorite holiday tradition. i would love to hear your favorites or just something that you do that you particularly love!

Peace, joy and love to you and yours this Christmas!

Un-dressed

Master's brother is in town and we were thinking about going to church this morning but last night Master told me that He wanted me to wear a dress. In the past few months we've bought a few dresses, all of them sleeveless though and summer dresses. The dresses that i have aren't the kind that He likes. They aren't the kind of dresses that can be belted. The progress of finding affordable dresses is just slow when buying off the rack and Goodwill's selection is poor at best. i haven't tried Goodwill very often though and that's something that you have to do when you're really looking for something specific, you have to go a lot. So last night when we were talking about going to church Master said that He would want me to wear a dress.

Eeek! my heart leaped out of my chest because when He says He wants something like that, that i *know* i can't deliver, i know it's not going to go well. There just aren't any dresses here that are what He likes, something that fits and can be belted. Not only that, i was totally unprepared. Almost anything i chose would need to have been washed these dresses were hanging in closest for years and it was 11pm before He mentioned it. Honestly, i was doomed before the words came out of His mouth. i tried on many dresses last night, some i didn't even know we had and nothing worked. Again, anything would have had to have been washed and by then it was almost midnight.

Master told me that He's wanted me to start wearing dresses a long time ago and since then like i mentioned we bought some sleeveless ones off the rack and He gave me one right away. The rest are put away for Christmas. i can't wear them anyway, they are for summer. He was unbelievably angry at me for not being more prepared, for not trying harder and there was nothing i could say or do. He said that i should have been shopping at Goodwill more or on Ebay more. The thing is, i didn't know that i was supposed to be wearing a dress to church until 30 minutes ago nor did i know that i was supposed to have dresses on hand to wear at a moments notice. Now, i do. Master likes the element of surprise, He thinks it keeps me on my toes for some things and He's right. It helps me not to over think or freak out about things. For this though, it completely set me up to totally fail and because of it, because He said we were going to church only if i was wearing a dress, we missed church. One big fat fail for me i went to bed feeling terrible.

Peace to you and yours,

MD's treasure


**i am sorry Master, sometimes i'm just too thick, i've always said i need it all written out in black and white. i should have been more prepared and i should have had some acceptable dresses already, it's been far too long. i'll make it a priority.

i love You.

Christmas Frenzy

Yesterday was like a marathon Christmas day around here. i'd say we did pretty well, actually it started the night before last with Master staying up all night long recording all our Christmas purchases. We (like a lot of people) keep close track of our spending but for us it's more so to keep good records of what we've bought people from year to year and to be fair that we spend about the same amount on each person. So Master goes about this seemingly insurmountable task each year.

While Master was getting a little rest i was worked on my Christmas cards (no they're not done yet!) and although i didn't finish them, i did get a very good portion of them done. This is going to be a very busy weekend so we really needed to get all this stuff done, and we had yesterday to do it. The plan was write out Christmas cards, make a double batch of Oreo balls, make dinner,watch Christmas shows while we wrap all of our presents, pass out. In that order, precisely.

So the Oreo balls are supposed to take 2 hours for one batch. It took me an hour to get them chopped up. i think it's because we just have an older model blender. Last year when i made them i used a rolling pin and a zip lock baggie. Neither option works well. Next year if we make them again, i am going to try zip lock baggie and running them over with the car. That's really the only viable option to retain sanity. So instead of the expected 2.5 hours because i was making a dbl batch, i took well over 3 hours and that's with Master's help.

So today i'm cleaning Master's Mom's house because of all day's yesterday she had her surgery for her fistula put in for her dialysis. This weekend Master's brother and 6 of his 8 kids will be staying at their house and she's going to be somewhat incapacitated. She has a 5# weight lifting restriction on her arm so she can't cook at all and she's not supposed to use it much for the first couple of days. It's really sensitive for a while and she has to be very careful with it. The timing seriously sucks. We'll make due i'm sure it's just the worst timing ever.

Their house is so small i woke up in a panic the other morning thinking there wasn't going to be anywhere for all those people to sleep. They had tubs of Christmas decorations everywhere that she kept saying she "wasn't done with yet" and all i could picture were kids propped against the wall with pillows and blankets. One kid in the shower sleeping and another one sleeping on the stairs... The house is cleaner now though and when i'm finished today there will be plenty of room. That's to say it's always clean, it's just more picked up. Master's Mom is very clean she just doesn't mind it when it's messy when she's in the middle of a project! =)

Okay, i'm off to get busy again.

Peace to you and yours,

Impressions Crop

Master and i had an opportunity Sunday to steal away some time to try out a new crop from Eden Fantasys. It's called Impressions Crop, made by Sportsheets. As you'll see in the pictures there is a heart inset in the leather, which given the look of the crop and the name one might think it's meant to leave an imprint on your skin if you're smacked hard enough.

i truly love the look of the crop with the red heart inset in the crop. i've really not been shy about making my feelings known about where i stand on pain. Of course that means nothing to Master, if He wants me to endure it, i will! haha!! He told me to bend over the bed so of course i knew what was coming. Having chosen something in the bondage and fetish line to review i knew what to expect! That having been said He started off slowly giving me a time to warm up on my legs and back side hitting harder and harder as He went. By the time He was really striking hard it was hurting but there wasn't the sharp sting that i have felt when He has used His old equestrian riding crop. i was really expecting this to hurt and leave deep red marks. i even asked Master part way if there were any obvious markings and He said that there really weren't. i was surprised as hard as He was swinging that i wasn't left with any lasting impressions. As far as pain goes, Master must have set the crop down for a second to snap a quick picture because He gave me a couple of great big unexpected wallops with His own hand and that hurt worse than anything He'd done so far!

my hands were already cuffed with leather cuffs, i had been wearing them all day so Master made good use of them when He had me bent over the bed. He attached the cuffs behind my back with a double ended snap hook and continued to swat a bit more. He told me to stand, turn around and sit on the bed. Master helped me get settled on the bed and started using the crop all over me. i was looking away because i was so scared He would hit right near the nipple ring and send me straight through the roof! Now even though Master's not particularly masochistic whenever we're playing like this, if He hurts me, i screech. If i holler like a baby, He obviously likes it! He took it one more step and told me to lie back and spread my legs where He started slapping all over between my legs. i was even more worried then because of all the sensitive bits and the piercing down there too!!

This particular sex toy is really well made. The Impressions Crop handle is quite sturdy yet the slapper itself is a smooth flexible leather. The surface area on the Impressions Crop is quite large 2" x 2 1/2" to be exact and the leather covered handle is just under 7", not counting the wrist strap. The cane portion of the crop is quite short however, just over 4.5", so if you're looking to get a quick smack in while you're delivering that well deserved spanking, this isn't quite the two -in-one tool! If i were disappointed in any area it would be that the Impressions Crop didn't leave a heart impression even after some pretty hard smacks.

i was thrilled to know that i would be able to handle a spanking with a crop without really falling apart. It definitely delivers some sting but it's not totally intolerable! This would be terrific for someone just like me who isn't great with pain but deserves a good spanking once in a while! Once Master was satisfied that the crop and i had a good work out He must have decided that i was a good girl and deserved a treat for my good behavior. He told me to get back up and bend back over the bed. This time i heard His zipper and every slave girl knows what that means! We had a great time with this review and it had a perfect ending!

Thank you to Eden Fantasys, who sent us the Impressions Crop by Sportsheets free of charge, in exchange for an unbiased review. This review is in compliance with the FTC guidelines.

Do you have the e-mail alerts feature on your blog? i'm horrible with the RSS feed stuff...if not i'll see if Sir can set up the RSS. Thanks, nice blog!

Yes! Now we do!! haha As of about 3 seconds ago, Master added a "follow by email" feature. Thanks so much for asking!! =)

Ask me anything

Jingle Bells!

Yesterday we had our The family Christmas party for Master's side of the family. It was nice except that Master's Mom had some sort of spell. We weren't sure what was going on with her, she wasn't really completely out of it but she wasn't responding to us as quickly as she should have. She knew the date and and had strength in her arms and legs so it wasn't an urgent situation. It was more like an ocular migraine because she didn't have any pain and she's had those migraines before. i don't know exactly, it was just very odd and she didn't want to leave to go home and she certainly didn't want to go to the ER. So we just let her rest for a while and less than an hour later she was back to normal.

i'm hoping to do some decorating today, if i don't get anymore done today, i don't think it's going to get done! Master's brother is coming next weekend and that means i'm going to be spending the week getting His parents house ready. That's good and bad for me it's good because i need to clean over there to pay her back for helping me with Christmas presents and it's bad because that means i have no more time for Christmas preparations here at home. Oh well, i'm glad to do it though, His parents only get to see their grand kids once in a blue moon and this really means a lot to them. i want everything to be nice for them when they arrive, the more Master and i do for them, the less tired they'll be when everyone arrives.

It sounds like Santa came early to our house last night. Right before bed time last night Master put both of the jingle bell ankle cuffs on me. Usually He only puts one on because they are so loud when i'm walking through the house. Last night when He put them both on i thought oh wow, if anyone were outside they would think Santa's sleigh was on the roof.

The funny thing was, i was in bed with the cuffs on, just getting ready to doze off when i realized the garage door was left open. Sometimes we will leave it open and it's not a big deal. i just got to thinking that it really needed to be closed because you never know this time of year. So i went out there and i had to turn the light on because as soon as i shut the door, it would be pitch dark. When we're home we shut the door by hand so i walked right across the garage with my bells-a-jingling haha! Who knows who could have heard me or seen me in my little pink robe! =p

We're usually the quietest ones on our block and we never make a peep but every once in a while i think our neighbors might get a peep show! =)

Devotion

Master and i had our big shopping day yesterday. As we almost always do, we started out late but we ended going almost everywhere we wanted to go. Stores are open so late for Christmas that we were still able to make some progress. We even had time for our annual cookie at the mall! That's one of our very favorite things to do!

We pretty much head to the same stores each year and one of those stores is Gordmans. i have no idea if that's a national chain or not, but there are a few in Iowa. It's a little bit like TjMAXX or Marshalls. Anyway, we were looking through the framed art and i saw one that really struck me, i took a photo of it with my phone but apparently i didn't save it, i'm not all that terrific with my phone! It went something like:

DEVOTION:
Give everything, expect nothing
you'll receive everything in return.

That's quite close to how it was written on the plaque. As i was looking it up on line to see if i could find an original author (i really wasn't very terribly successful at that either!) i noticed that it's quite a popular saying. The concept is one that struck me however, given my "occupation" if you will.

The top word on that plaque could have easily been "slavery", couldn't it? Many words fit there, love, loyalty, devotion, submission, to me of course, i thought of slavery right away. So how clear is it that we get so much more in return than we give? Just in my daily routine of cooking or taking care of things around the house. The satisfaction that i get knowing that i am pleasing Him is a huge reward, of course that's not it alone. When supper is made and we sit down at the end of a day for TV and we're both super comfortable. Whether it was a day where all i had to do were my household chores or a particularly difficult day, the efforts of my day just seem to melt away. Because this right here is what it's all about, my devotion to Him and getting much more than i give.

i would love to hear your feelings and opinions on this. Could this be a slaves mantra?

Almost The Worst Bath i've Ever Had

So last night Master and i went to that Christmas Stroll, like i mentioned and it was chilly. Before that we worked and because the church was very messy from all the decorating it took a long time to clean. i asked Master if i could take a bath when we got home, not super unusual for me lately. He said i could. i got my water going and got in, the water was only a few inches deep when Master came into the room. He hardly ever comes in when i'm in the tub, i think He relishes the peace and quiet when i'm otherwise occupied to be honest! =)

He said "close your eyes". my first thought, "this is going to be horrible, whatever it is". i did as i was told and closed my eyes, but i was right it was horrible. i laid perfectly still for the first few moments as ICE. COLD. WATER. was poured all over me. Then, He left. i said, "is it alright for me to open my eyes now?" He was already in the other room and shouted "Oh! Yes you may".

HMPH.

i sat there for a few minutes telling no one that this was the absolute worst bath i've ever had in my life and i was all warm and toasty and now it's ruined... i could only assume that He was listening to everything i was saying and chuckling to Himself.

After just a little while He came back in and said that sometimes a Master just has to be sadistic and He was away again. For some reason that made it all better. He even pulled the door nearly closed so it would get warm for me, that's something He never does. Once He was gone i let the bath water rise nice and high, let the water get super hot and all was well with the world.

Once i was finished i went to Him and asked Him what i should wear as it was almost 11pm. Sometimes He might have me get completely redressed depending on how late we're going to be up. We stay up late watching TV and i don't get ready for be until it's bedtime. Last night though He said "wear a belt". HAHA! So, i did. He fell asleep early and i didn't want to wake Him to ask Him if i should keep it on for sleeping, so i slept in my belt. =)

i don't normally go into such detail about our nights, but with the exception of the ice cold water added to my bath. That's not all that atypical from one of our evenings, come to think of it.

Happy Saturday.

Ugh...

Tonight is the Christmas Stroll downtown. Master and i are leaving in a few minutes to go to work and we're planning on going this year. We try to go every year and just walk around and eat cookies. It used to be really fun when there were lots of stores and more cookies than anyone could ever imagine. In the years past though it's sort of become a little less exciting with the stores closing. i'm hoping for a better year this year though!

The other day Master ran in to pay a bill and told me to watch the parking meter. i thought the time had run out and He was only going to be in the building for a second. He told me NOT to feed the meter, but to watch for the reader girl. i was panicked, i hate to be put in positions like that. i was looking all over for someone in a uniform when all of a sudden right behind us, there was a girl in a navy blue coat writing a ticket on the vehicle behind us. i hopped out of our car to stick a nickle in the meter. Turned out there was still 8 minutes on the meter and when i hopped out the girl gave me a nasty look. She knew i wasn't going to feed that meter unless i saw her coming.

Master got back in the car and said, "did you beat her?" cause of course He saw her standing there. i was really upset and i said to Him "Never again!" as soon as i said it i knew it was a terrible thing to say. He actually didn't react very strongly, He just said that i wouldn't ever tell Him "never again" i wouldn't decide anything of the kind. If He tells me to sit in the car in exactly that situation again and i'm sure He will, i'll have to do it. No matter how much i hate it or no matter how much i don't understand it. To Him it's (of course) the principle, it's not the nickle it costs. Anyway, i felt much worse about it than He made me feel and i still feel badly. i never should have tried to tell Him what i will or won't do so emphatically.

Write this in the "try harder next time" book, for sure.

Too Dependent?

Master and i decided to brave the shoppers yesterday. We didn't get an early start because we told His Mom that we'd wait for her to be ready and we'd take her along. Surprisingly both Master's parents went with us for the day and His Mom did really well, she only used a wheel chair for one store. While it was a long day, it was a pretty good day. If anyone lost their patience or got tired, it was me. i could tell that i wasn't behaving well at least i really felt edgy toward the end of the night. It wasn't because of the crowds, i have patience for that, it's always because of communication. i think too much for myself instead of just asking what we'll be doing or where we're going, i 'think' or try to anticipate the next move. While yesterday wasn't as bad in times past, thinking too much or trying to anticipate can get me into a lot of trouble.

Yesterday i was doing some of my own Christmas shopping as well. It's really the only time of year that i handle money on my own. Of course when i was single i took care of my entire life and did just fine but i am out of practice. That's really not the only thing that's difficult though, i am more easily confused now and when i am hurting, like i was terribly yesterday, i am much more easily mixed up and thrown for a loop. Something as simple as a single item purchase is enough to send me into a tail spin. Sound very stupid? Think of how many steps there are in a purchase, now think of it when there are literally hundreds (like there were yesterday) of people in line behind you. We were at best buy and there was a guy directing traffic at the registers. i should NOT have been making a purchase yesterday. i did it, i lived and i made my purchase. i also had Master there to tell me how much my purchase was going to be, to the penny, about 10 minutes before we got to the register. So i had tons of time to get my money ready and hand the guy the cashier the money and move along, with no fuss. Unfortunately, Master had to be there with me, while i bought His present.

i love being completely dependent on Him, knowing that i need Him more than anything in this life. Other times i feel like a complete burden. i know i can do things when i'm not hurting terribly but yesterday i felt really bad. No one was the wiser, it's not like anyone knew i needed help.

Is there ever a point where we become too dependent? Or would you say this is like any relationship or marriage. Where you hold each other up when the other one needs it once in a while? It's not like this is an every day occurrence although it has happened more than once and i am able to function on my own and shop when i am feeling well. i can and do pay a couple bills and make business phone calls or deal with professional situations when Master instructs me to do so. But when i do have to completely rely on Him, that's it, it's all or nothing with me and i struggle with that at times. i am dependent on Him in our daily life, for sure and that's comfortable for us. It's just when i lose everything for a time, that's when the guilt seems to set in.

It's just something i've thought of over the years and i know that Master would say i could never be too dependent but it's always been something i've wondered about.

Peace to you and yours,

i am third

i mentioned in my post over the weekend that we were meeting a couple for dinner. While we talked for literally four hours and if i'm not mistaken, closed the restaurant down, i took one main thing away from our evening. i would like to try to share that here.

i left there asking myself, "Am i selfless enough to call myself a slave?".

Am i? Really? How much time in the day do i spend on me? my thoughts, my actions, my dreams, my ideals, my hopes, my work, my focus, where is it? Honestly how would i ever really know unless i kept track and then it would be foiled by the act of keeping track.

The only way to truly know if you're selfless enough is to open your heart and soul and ask yourself. Take a good long look at who you are and another way, if you keep a blog is read back through your blog. How much time do we spend talking about us and what we want vs. our Master's and everyone else. Honestly, i haven't done that, i'm afraid to. i'm afraid to know how much time i've spent complaining about my headaches or not feeling well. i'm scared to know just how often i've said, "i don't wanna do.... blah blah blah". Yes it's my blog it should be about me, it should be about the real me, my honest feelings, i just want my honest feelings to be less about me and more about others. It's a goal. =)

So where do i start to fix it? i'm not going to lament on where i've been or whoa is me, i'm a terrible slave i'm so selfish, i'm not going to go back and read my blog posts. What i AM going to do is start fresh. i know that my focus should be on everyone else if i truly have a servants heart. Him, everyone else, then me. "i am third". Where my God fits in there is between He and i, of course.

i am going to fail a lot i guess the important thing here is, i want to try hard to focus more on Him, everyone else, then me.

i am third.

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

VBA!

i just got my email for the day and my very first reaction was, hrmm... is this a virus, but i look before i leap! So i asked Master then looked it up!! =)

Virtual Blogger Award! Now THAT sounds fun!

Thank you very much to Pepper for passing this award along to me!

Okay here are the rules!


1. Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post. Done and done! But just for good measure, thank you Pepper!!

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass this award along to 15 blogs you enjoy reading.

4. Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award.


Okay, i'll start at the beginning. Seven things about myself:

1) i'm short, but i wish i were shorter! i've always wanted to be under 5' tall.

2) i like pink! i mean a lot. For more than a couple years i wore primarily pink clothing and even to this day usually without even trying i have something pink on nearly every day.

3) i love to have dessert, but i don't need much. It can be something as little as an Andes Mint, i just need something to finish off dinner.

4) The smell of a hot iron and the steam is comforting and soothing to me, therefore i love to iron. i could stand at the ironing board for hours and just zone out and be completely content in my work.

5) i have well over 150 pairs of heels.

6) i don't remember the last time i wore a pair of pants, i believe it's been a few years but i'm not sure when or what the occasion was.

7) This blog has been an incredible gift to me, the people that i've come to know through their blogs and personally are a joy that i am very grateful for.

Now i have to choose only 15 blogs that i enjoy reading! Ugh! Okay here are only 15 and in no particular order:

1) Yes Master - i have been reading Starla for years and years, she's one of the very first journals i ever read. Sadly, i don't believe her journal is available to the public anymore but i had to list her, just the same.

2) BDSM is love - luna is perhaps the only blogger Master and i have ever actually met in person. She and her Master live quite close to us. luna is well respected in the blogging community and the respect is well earned.

3) Owned, Collered, Loved - Bre is fast becoming one of my very favorite young subbie bloggers! i know, i know i said i wouldn't play favorites, but she has won my heart as she is so honest about her struggles and so happy with each victory!

4) The Sub-Mission - "Mew" as i love to call her, is super sexy, super cute and awesome! We have lots in common with her and her Master and i wish we lived closer!!

5) Kittens Paw Prints in Slavery - i am totally enthralled with this blogger and addicted to her writing! She writes so it feels like you can actually "hear" her talking as you read her blog. When she's tired you can hear it and when she's happy, you can hear that too. Love her!

6) This girl's weblog - There's really so much to say but if you've never been to this blog, go! They are dynamic, exciting and all things BDSM! i stumbled upon this blog with Master's help a couple of years ago and it's really not to be missed!

7) Sake of Sanity - i have been reading this journal what seems like forever. i have followed her through some good times and some tough times. No matter what's going on in her life you can always count on her working really hard at being the best mom she knows how to be and that's always evident in her posts. She's also been consistent in her desire to become a good sub to the right person as well but she makes it clear that her kids are her priority.
`
8) Naida's Submissive Journey - i have loved reading Naida's journal for a while now. She's funny and just like the rest of us, human. i especially enjoy how very honest she is with us, her readers, she really holds nothing back.

9) Finding my submission - This is an incredibly titillating blog! It should tell you something that she was on the Top 100 Sex Bloggers of 2011! The list just came out today and she was on it! (more on that later!)

10) Curiosity Saved This Kitty - i haven't been reading this journal all that long, but everything i read and every time i go back i am more and more hooked. Anastassia is honest and loving when she totally pours out her heart and soul in her journal. She's really a joy to read!

11) His rose - Rose and i actually have a lot in common and that's one of the reasons i love reading her blog. No matter that she's half my age i learn from her all the time. It shows no matter how long one has been in this lifestyle, you can easily teach and learn from each other if you're open to it! Rose is such a treat to read!

12) Lessons Learned - The very first journal i ever read. Lisa has always been what i thought of when i thought of a slave. Lisa was "it". Today her journal entries are few and far between and their lifestyle has changed dramatically but Lisa writes, lives and breathes for no one but her Master, Frank. She cares what no one thinks but her Master and she only writes because he demands it. That having been said, she is unbelievable and there is none other like her. She's quirky and exciting and twisted and if you have a few thousand hours you didn't know what to do with, her journal is worth every single second of it. i have no idea how much of it is still available on the web, but she's been writing for, well, ever. In the early years she wrote a lot because i believe Frank made her and she had more time, now she spends every waking moment farming and loving it, in their words, it's paradise.

13) a submissive's musings - libby is a blast to read! She's candid and upfront about everything she believes in! She's a slave living with her husband and three kids and her blog is anything but boring! There are struggles and many triumphs and as a reader you're drawn in like one of the family very quickly. i love to read this blog!

14) Molly's Daily Kiss - This blog has it all! Tons of pictures, writing that makes your toes curl and she's unabashedly sexy! Molly is spectacular!

15) A hidden slave - Her name really says a lot about her. She tends to hide her slave-like self behind a tough exterior, or so it might seem. After reading her for a while, i have come to thoroughly enjoy her posts!

There are so many blogs out there that i wish i had time to read or that i wish i even knew about! This is a great way to share some of our very favorites, old and new!

Thank you again Pepper for the fun!

Your latest photo s are interesting. Two bras, no panties, gartered stockings with pierced nipples and labia, You must really raise some eyebrows when you go to the doctor.

i've been dressing like that for a couple years or more. All but the no panties thing, that is fairly new. Typically when i go to the doctor it's well thought out. If i know they are going to need to look at my upper torso, i'll just pull down my foundation garment when they leave the room and remove my bra. i have come to a point in my life where i am completely comfortable dressing in this manner. If someone else is uncomfortable with the way i'm dressed, they can ask me about it or be willing to accept me. The only thing that's ever given me pause were the piercings. The x-ray techs have always been very understanding and helpful though!

One time i needed a chest x-ray and they said they could work around the nipple piercings but they would prefer i take off the eternity collar. i just stood there and stared at them like a deer in the headlights. i said that i was so sorry but it locked on and i always left the key at home. i've never been quite so unprepared for a doctor appointment and i should have know this time, as ill as i was that there would be a chest x-ray, that was really my fault. The women at the desk couldn't even begin to imagine what i was talking about but after close examination of the collar themselves they accepted my explanation. Really, why would i lie? Since that time, Master and i have been much better prepared for things such as this! =)

Regarding clothing and undergarments, i am the first to admit that there was a long adjustment period in which i was self conscience. Even though my underthings were entirely covered up, i knew i was different from everyone else in the area. We live in a farming community where nearly everyone is more comfortable in blue jeans or sweat pants. It's almost unreasonable to think that a woman would willingly wear the kind of clothing that i wear more over, enjoy it? <gasp> It wasn't an overnight transformation, it took a while to get here and i'll certainly say that once i started wearing the all in one and stockings, i really found my sea legs! Very few people find it believable that i am just as comfortable in my clothing as they are in theirs. i can say for certain that jeans are less comfortable in many cases than skirts, for sure because a skirt, unless it's an ill fitting one, doesn't cut into ones waist, hips and legs. To each their own, for sure! i am very glad to be where, who, whose and what i am today!

Thank you so much for the question! =)

Ask me anything

LOL Day! =)

i can't believe i missed it again! haha!

Well Welcome to my blog!! It's almost the end, but today (what's left of it) is LOL or Love our Lurkers Day!

Today is the day when all you wall flowers show your faces just this once and say hi! =)

i know you're out there, don't be shy!

Even still, thank you for reading and thank you for coming back!

A Beautiful Poem From The Master

I thought I'd post here, the lovely vanilla birthday poem that I wrote for you elsewhere. It's too beautiful not to be shared with the masses.


This is the 10th birthday we've shared together
This line would be easier if your name was Heather
I could freak people out and talk about leather
Or simply say that we're birds of a feather
You are the other pea in my pod
You are the perfect weird to my odd
Even though you're a bit of a clod
You are always very well shod
You always make sure that no one is cold
You promised to wipe my butt when I'm old
You make sure the shower has minimal mold
You are the one that I always want to hold
You picked me to love and for that I am glad
You strike me quite often and for that I am sad
I'd take you out tonight and make your day rad
If my tooth didn't hurt so fucking bad

Bits and Pieces

Yesterday was a nice day. i was actually expecting Master to be in pain and He woke up with almost no pain at all and it remained constant throughout the whole day. Even though we weren't able to do anything special like go out for dinner with Master's family like we usually do, we had a nice quiet day at home. We spent the day doing some cleaning inside and a little bit of outside work as well. It was a lovely day outside and we even took a short walk.

When Master was sitting at His computer for a few minutes i decided that i didn't care if we couldn't have a party, i was going to have a cake no matter what! So i made myself a birthday cake! haha! Master came into the kitchen when i was pouring it into the pan and asked me what the heck i was doing and i told Him exactly that! i wanted cake for my birthday so i was making one! lolol! Pathetic huh? =) It wasn't even that good, i think the frosting was a little old, even though it doesn't expire until June of 2012! Oh well, at least we had cake.

Last night Master and i just had our usual night of TV and lounging and i wouldn't have had it any other way. He was quite tentative all night, just hoping that the pain wouldn't reoccur and although it's sore, there's no actual pain like there was.

We just got a call from Master's Mom, she was in the ER this am, released now but having a little trouble since she's been out of the nursing home. i have been a little worried about her since she got out of the nursing home. It's such a huge adjustment and some people have a hard time making that transition from total care to living on their own again. No matter how much i cautioned or tried to warn her to take it easy, it has done absolutely no good. In this area i go completely unheard, now i know what people mean when they say, it's like standing in the middle of the room screaming and no one even looks up.

i truly want the very best for her and i've offered more than once to help her with her bandages and she did ask for help with her medicine only after she realized she was making big mistakes. i promised myself i wouldn't push things on her and make sure she knew that we were there for her any time she needs us. That's all we can do really.

i hope everyone is having a good Monday. Master and i are off to get some work done.

Peace to you and yours,

Dentists and Dresses

Master and i had an unexpected trip on Friday. He has had a very sore tooth and we were able to get an appointment at the college of dentistry but we had to be there in an hour and 1/2. We live an hour away. Yikes! So i flew around the house and we got there about 15 minutes late. i called of course and they were very understanding. It didn't really matter, everyone that goes to that clinic waits to see the doctors and students and it's really worth it, they do amazing work. We think? Master's tooth had a very large cavity that had fallen off and gradually gotten worse. The worse part, it was a front tooth, not one you can just pull. When the student was done, i can honestly say i've never seen a better filling. It looked like a fake tooth, it was perfect.

Master was actually able to eat less than an hour after we left the dentist because the student was so good with the novacaine also. The even better part, the pain was gone. We spent the rest of the day messing around and decided we'd clean on Saturday because we were exhausted. We also decided we would skip my birthday dinner for Saturday and just do it another day, all we've done is run around and we'll do it soon, but not this weekend. i am SO glad we didn't plan a day out for yesterday! Yesterday morning Master was sitting at His computer and He said "I've got bad news, My tooth hurts". From the look on His face it was easy to see that it wasn't just an ache either.

Suffice it to say that i have never seen Master in the kind of pain that He was in yesterday. The only thing that worked to relieve the pain was very cold water or ice on the tooth. The very second that water warmed up, the pain was back and He was in excruciating pain. With Master i don't use the term excruciating lightly. i have never ever seen Him in this kind of pain, ever. i had pain medicine from a tooth extraction that i had a few years ago, He took some of that, it didn't touch it. By late last night He had taken pain meds that i can't even take and i'm used to taking medicine and nothing was even dulling the pain.

i think He finally fell asleep at 5am or a little later and He's still sleeping, thankfully. i have never in my life felt so helpless. We had to work yesterday and it took twice as long as it normally did because of pain fighting efforts. There was so little i was able to do to help, it was just miserable for Him. The only conclusion that we came to was that when they did a test on His tooth to check if it was dead or not, the student went very quickly on that tooth. Master thinks that He might have answered the question wrong because He wasn't given enough time to make up His mind. The tooth is most likely dying or dead now. He may need a root canal which would be a real shame to mess up that beautiful new tooth but if that's what needs to happen then that's what we'll do.

On a side note, the college of dentistry is amazing. The students are terrific and spend loads of time with you. The work they do is top notch and it's obvious because the patients are all very happy when they leave and they are full up! Another huge perk is the price that they charged was a tiny fraction of what our dentist would have charged. If you have one near you, it might be an option if you don't have insurance.

So after Master and i were done with the dentist we went to this consignment shop, it's huge and sorta fun. We've been on the look out lately for dresses. In the past couple months i have gotten a few dresses from the clearance racks from summer. Just like anything else, you have to know when to buy and where to look. The dresses i've gotten are very nice quality some are $40 dresses that i've picked up for $9 or so. Others are $100 that we've paid $20. The summer clearance racks are pretty well picked through or gone now so we decided to broaden our search.

The consignment shop was a bust when it came to dresses. So is Goodwill really. You just don't see that many dresses, anywhere to be honest. Skirts are fairly plentiful but dresses are either party dresses or they don't exist. You just don't see daily wear dresses out there anymore. The most ironic store out there is Dress Barn. Have you ever seen a dress in Dress Barn? i don't recall seeing dresses in Dress Barn. Party Dresses maybe but not like an every day dress. They are just not out there anymore. i can check e-bay but people know how hard nice dresses are to come by, so they charge for them. If you know of a good source for quality dresses, i would love to check it out.

i hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Peace to you and yours,

Happy Anniversary Master!!!

Master and i celebrated our 8 year Wedding Anniversary this past Tuesday, November 1st. It's almost impossible to believe that we've been married that long and on the other hand i can scarcely remember a time when i wasn't His. The mind is funny that way i suppose.

i remember events of my life before Him of course but day to day living is a blur, how did i act and how did i function without His rules and constant control? i know i did fine and i know i was able to maintain a perfectly normal life, but it seems so far away, so very distant. Something i never want to feel again.

This Anniversary was on a day when Master had a doctor appointment out of town, so we needed to clear the entire day anyway. We ended up having a really nice day of just browsing and shopping for early Christmas presents and not feeling rushed like we have been just about every other time we've been out lately. It felt amazing to actually walk through a store and not feel like we had to hurry for the first time in a long time!

As my birthday falls within the same week as our Anniversary we usually do one or the other dinner very low key. Master asked me what i wanted to do and i said i really didn't care, for all i cared we could go to McDonalds. After lots of "I'm not taking you to McDonalds for our Anniversary!!!..." We went to McDonalds! hahaha. It was just the easiest thing to do and by that time we really were in a hurry because we had sauntered around the whole day, we had two more stores to get to before 9pm. As it turned out, it wasn't the best choice but not because of the food.

(This story is horrifying, skip to the end if you're easily upset)

Master and i were getting into our car and we heard two very distinct booms or what i thought were explosions. i knew they were very close and i turned to look to my right. Immediately i saw an enormous fire ball. i unbuckled my seat belt and said to Master to get out of the car, i had no idea how close it really was. Turned out it was much further than i thought. As i crested the small hill the sight i saw was the most horrible sight i have ever seen in person. There was a semi trailer skidding down the Interstate in a ball of sparks and fire on it's side. i thought it stopped in the center median, i was wrong it landed in it's own lane. my very first thought was, there is no way that man just lived through that explosion. i turned to Master and said those exact words. Master just stood silently as He tried to call 911, no one answered. We figured so many people were trying to get through that they were inundated with calls, or at least that was our hope as to why they weren't answering.

i stood there just hoping and praying that we might see paramedics pull away from the wreckage but i never saw that happen. We later read that it took fire fighters over 90 minutes to find him. The papers said that the driver hit the cement median, that's really all the more information that has been offered.

Why did i share this here? We hear all the time that life is short, don't take anything or anyone for granted. i don't live by those scare tactics. This post is meant to scare no one all i would like to say is live for the moment and be nice to each other. i can't tell you how many times a day i smile at people when i'm out and about and get a grumpy look back or how many times Master might need to get over into another lane and no one will let Him get over. Really? It's true that a nice smile can make someone's day or letting someone in a long line of traffic might help them get to that job interview on time.

Peace and blessings to you and yours,

Got Candy?

A few weeks ago Master sort of got into it with His sister's husband, they haven't really spoken since. They have been two back to back vacations since then home only a couple days in between. The interesting thing about this whole thing to me is that Master sent a very long email that was never answered. At this point we really have no idea what's going on. We don't know what would happen if we were to run into Master's sister and her husband. There are some occasions coming up that we always get together for and so far not a word has been uttered as to where, when or if we'll gather. Master's sister and i always chat about things and so far, nothing. So ... huh.

i guess i'm bothered only because Master's Mom is BIG on family. Any little tiff and she will turn it around to being about her and how she wants her family to get along. i am very curious as to how things will turn out and i'm hoping that everyone will meet up and it will be business as usual. Who knows though.

Master and i were working at His parents yesterday. He was putting together the hand rail for the stairs. We were literally one spindle from being finished and being able to assemble the last bit and the spindle split up the center. It was SO disgusting. He's used well over a hundred of these things and not one of them has split until now. So now it has to wait until He can get a replacement and we'll be back at His parents house on Monday. i have to go and prepare the house for His Mom to return from the Nursing Home anyway, it's just the idea. We would like to not be at His parents house every single day, for a while. At this point He's not even finished with everything His Mom needs, according to the therapist.

Master and i are spending the day watching Football and working in our basement. We have a lot of projects at home that we're working on as well as at their house. =) i have a cold so Master is trying to keep His distance and He keeps telling me not to breath in His direction! Big Meanie! i can't imagine being any more careful, i wash my hands all the time and just about every surface i touch, i use those antibacterial cleaners. If He gets it, it's out of my control! =(

i hope everyone is having a great Sunday Night!

i can't wait to hand out candy tomorrow so i hope my cold is gone by then!! =)

Peace to you and yours,

Master chains you to the bed and then he serves you dinner in bed. Who's the slave?

This is a great question and a terrific opportunity to explain the background on the picture in the previous post! =)

i was ill the day that picture was taken and Master is never all that happy when i don't join Him when He leaves for the day. This day was no exception and He was going to be gone for the entire day, working. He decided that if i was too ill to go to work, then i was too ill to leave the bed, all day. He told me that i would be allowed to remove the chain only to take the dog outside. For anything else, i would have to call Him. If He didn't answer the phone it would have to wait.

So that was my day, i was chained to the bed while Master worked all day and i wasn't allowed to leave the bedroom without asking. Keeping in mind that i wasn't feeling well, not up to eating much, Master insisted that i eat something, He brought me home some food. He set up my tray for me and brought me a plate of chicken. =)

i think your question is amazing in that it brings up so many wonderful points of interest. Master is my owner, to Him i am many things one of which is an object to be used. If His computer were broken He would need to repair it in order to use it, very much the same with me. When i am ill, He needs to care for me, to keep me in working order. If Master wants His property to function well, He recognizes that it needs rest and proper maintenance and yes sometimes pampering. The fact of the matter is, Master loves His property, much like one loves a dog, when His dog is ill, He pays special attention to it and nurses it back to health. In these situations, i am the property and the dog and the slave. i am also His treasure.

He loves me as much as i love Him and no matter what the situation is at the time, He will always be the Master and i will always be the slave.

Thank you so much for the question! =)

Ask me anything

You said in a recent post that you had to put everything back on except your lease before you went to bed. Does that mean you have to sleep in your girdle and stockings?

No and thank you for the question. It was a poorly worded phrase when i wrote it! What i meant by "putting everything back on" was all the locking cuffs and even Master mentioned that my statement was confusing.

Your question brings up a good point though, when i take a nap during the day i am not allowed to get undressed completely. During that time i am only allowed to remove my skirt and blouse if anything at all so during nap time i do sleep in my girdle and stockings and slip. Of course when i'm on the bed my shoes come off so as not to soil the bed clothes! =)

Once i'm dressed for the day, i stay that way until bed time and there is rarely an exception made. i'm not allowed to take my clothes off until right before we're ready to sleep. As our evening is usually spent watching TV in bed, Master will specifically tell me that it's time for me to get undressed and ready for sleep.

Thanks again for the question and for keeping me on my toes! hehe =)

Ask me anything

Home On A Saturday!

Master and i are spending a Saturday at home, it's beautiful outside and there are about a billion and a half things i would love to do. Master wants to work in the basement which really needs to be done and i.. well i don't want to work in the basement but we will. haha.

We still have lots to do outside and i would love to get that done before it's really cold outside and we're running around trying to beat the first snowfall. Last year i did it all too soon and i wanted the chairs out when it was still warm in November!

Master has really been working hard to get His parents house ready for His Mom to come home, and it's really more mentally stressing than anything. Some of it, that is. Like i mentioned the other day it's sort of hard to deal with His dad but that's not the half of it. So i'll just say that Master's dad antagonizes just about everyone around him, no matter how much you try to reason with him, he doesn't listen or hear and he flatly refuses to wear his hearing aids. Even his brand new ones that he swears are comfortable.

i have several years of experience working with the elderly in long term care. i know how to deal with most situations and there are times i can get through to him, if it's just he and i but it rarely if ever has a lasting effect. So even for me, he's a tough cookie to crack.

For his immediate family, it's just plain frustrating and i feel horrible for Master to work so hard and come up against nothing but resistance over and over again. Some of the stuff he does i think is freaking hilarious, Master, not so much. He has no attention span and Master thinks it's not so amusing.

Like Master will be sweating trying to screw a heavy board into place and he will ask him to hold the other end of the board. There will be some commotion at the end of the street and all of a sudden the end of the board will go limp. Master looks up and His dad is down the yard looking to see what's going on!!! See, i think that's a riot! Master... yeah not so much. The other day Master and His dad were sweeping the garage and Master was operating the dust pan, His dad had the bag and was holding it open. They were discussing how far 70 feet was. Master turned away to scoop up His mess and went to dump the pan into the bag and the bag lye limp on the floor in a heap. Master's dad? Oh he was walking off 70 feet into the drive way!!! Master swears His dad has the attention span of a grub. hahahaha

We had him over for supper last night and he just loved it. He stayed and played a game and although he usually hates games, i think he had a good time. He said several times how good supper was and when he called when he got home, he said it again. i'm glad he has Master to do all the things He does for them, i'm not sure what they would do without Him.

So like i said it's fairly mentally challenging and because of that Master keeps falling asleep when it comes time to watch TV at night. Master usually puts my "pretty jewelry" (as He calls it) the leather cuffs and leather belled ankle cuff every night after supper. Last night He attached the leash to my collar and because i have to ask to get undone from anything or use the keys, i was stuck or i had to wake Him up to get ready for bed or use the bathroom. i finished the show and watched part of another one when i figured He was done for the night and woke Him to ask if i could use the keys and let myself out of the leash. i got a grumble that sort of resembled yes. i'm only allowed to use the key to remove the ankle lock, to take my stocking off though, everything goes back on for sleeping, except the leash.

i better cut this off, if i'm ever going to get anything at all done today!

Have a great weekend!

Letting off a little steam

Just when i thought things where starting to slow down for us, right out of no where time seems to have disappeared. We were told that Master's Mom would be able to come home from the nursing home in a couple weeks and today there was a home evaluation to see if their home was safe for her. So the last couple days M and i have been working at their house on even more stuff to get the house safe for her.

Master installed a couple of grab bars for her in the stairwell and she'll need another one outside. The exact same place Master told His dad that there should be one installed and His dad just rolled his eyes. Today when the therapist mentioned it Master's dad thought that was a great idea. i think that might be the worst part of this whole thing, it seems like His dad has been fighting with us every time we try to help him with everything.

The main thing is i think is that it's invasion of his home and there's just nothing he can do about it. If Master's dad wants his wife to come home certain things need to happen and no matter how much we try to explain things to him it's his house and he wants things to remain the same. Who could blame him? It's not easy for anyone, we don't want to watch them get old and he doesn't want to give up his independence. i finally said to him the other day that i was done arguing with him and i typically have the best relationship with him. All we want to do is make things easier for them and help out and him being constantly resistant doesn't help anyone. He heard me, but it didn't last! hehe

It's just tiresome, that's all. Master's dad needs a break from us and we need a break from working at their house. Tomorrow we're going to stay home and not work there. It will be good for all of us! =)

Peace to you and yours,

Lover's Prisoner Kit

Today, Master and i had an opportunity to try out another sex toy from Eden Fantasys called Lover's Prisoner Kit from Sportsheets.

The kit contains two wrist or ankle cuffs, made of felt with nylon connectors. There is velcro that is to be used to fasten the cuffs. There is a matching felt collar with a small D ring in the front and snaps in the back for fastening. The set also includes a nylon leash and lastly but certainly not least, the rubber flogger. The rubber flogger looks small but don't let the size fool you.

i'll start with the cuffs, Master used the cuffs on my wrists and fastened the velcro as tight as He could and then tied the nylon to the bed post. Due to the construction of the velcro and the way He tied the knot these cuffs are really fairly inescapable. This velcro held strong and the nylon is tough. When you hear felt and velcro you might think bah, but it's not as harmless as you might think! =)

The collar is pretty but there's no way to lock it and for Master that's a big downfall. For me, i thought it was very pretty and comfortable so if you're looking for comfort, this is a great find. It wouldn't be all that durable, so it's nice for show but not for a long term collar. Lovely to wear out though.

i thought the leash was terrific, i am a fan of leashes in general and this is a great leash that again, is pretty inescapable. It's got a nice lobster claw for an attachment point and if you're well bound anyway, there's no getting away! It's not likely to tear or wear any time soon so this is a great addition to the set.

So, the flogger. Master has a small rubber flogger that He's used on me previously and He pretty much always gets the same reaction... OUCH! These little guys hurt, like for real hurt. Swung quickly and with force they seriously pack a punch especially on the pink parts. Master was really loving the reaction He was getting from me, the more i screeched, the more He swung. The more He swung, the more i screeched and so our afternoon progressed.

For anyone looking for a little light BDSM, this set really delivers.

Thank you to Eden Fantasys for the opportunity!

Open Book Policy!

i've been thinking about privacy or lack thereof. i've spoken of this several times and not long ago someone asked me about Master's rule for me in regard to using the bathroom. Where i said i really have no personal privacy, to be blunt.

It's just interesting to me though how i have become an open book to Master, in every single aspect of life. my telephone calls, my email, my journals even my on line chatting or even every website i visit. The only time i am allowed to have a secret is for a present or surprise and that is rare.

The only thing that i have of my own are my thoughts and to be honest even that isn't something that Master is entirely fond of. Master wants to know what's going on with me and He can't control me if He doesn't know what's going on with me at all times. That's really very simple. If i am upset and talking to someone else about it, He's out of the loop. If i'm frustrated and He doesn't know about it, again it's a lack of control. If i bottle it up inside and keep something from Him, He would have no idea that i might be stewing about something (an activity He forbids, by the way, i'm supposed to let things go and not stew!). It's easier said than done, to be this "open book" that i speak of, it really is.

The email and computer stuff is easy, the journal is right there in front of Him, the phone calls are easy also. It's the thoughts that are hard for me. If i'm truly not allowed any privacy or if i'm really not allowed to keep anything from Him being this open book is hard work. Something i'm not really all that great at. i'm terrific at thinking and working out scenarios or talking to Master in my head, i'm not so super at the actual verbalization.

Something so simple as Master: "what do you want to do tonight?"
What i'm thinking is: (i really just want to do whatever You want to do because i'm not all that particular, but if i say that, You'll get frustrated for me not having an opinion, so i know i better suggest something!)
What i say is: "How about a movie, were You thinking a movie, or no?"

Which couldn't be MORE wishy-washy if i TRIED, so THAT gets a bad reaction too!

Sometimes being an open book is bad and even more frustrating than keeping your mouth shut! Less is more... *nod*.

Ohhhh us poor slaves, we have it rough don't we?? *snicker*

Have a great weekend!!! =)

Chasing Away The Blahs

With any luck the craziness has started to slow down. Master's brother was in town last week and over the weekend. With almost no notice, after i spent more than a week preparing His parent's house for guests to spend the night, we were informed that we'd be having a barbeque for 14 people! We literally had one day's notice to get ready.

Now that His family is starting to get back in order and His Mom just got news today that she might be going home in a couple weeks, we might be looking forward to our lives slowing down some too! Wouldn't that be a hoot!???! =)

Tonight we went to the nursing home and i washed Master's Mom's hair, it really needed it because she can't take showers right now. i am really glad that we're in the situation that we're in and we can be there for them, no matter how tired i am or how i think something can wait, cleaning or laundry, etc, i always have an amazing sense of fulfillment once it's done and i know His parents are well taken care of.

Master and i put me through a bit of a punishment the other night, He hooded me and cuffed my ankles and wrists for quite a long time. It was a reminder that i wouldn't mouth off at all, as i have been way too mouthy. Perhaps a result of too much time away from home, perhaps too much time away from the familiar confines of our confines. i don't know i just know that He was certain that He was going to remind me that i was going to stop mouthing off, once and for all. i just know that things have been very blah. i also know that i can't seem to get "untired". It's not for lying around doing nothing or for running around like a chicken with my head cut off although when we're home i do want to get lots done. i think once we get back to our routine again we'll be good. i can already feel things getting better and i'm sure Master's reminder didn't hurt either. =p

i better scoot off here, i'm hoping it will be TV time soon.

Peace to you and yours,

Most master/slave relationships have limitations. What is the limit of pain and activity that you won't go beyond?

i could tell you that i have my own limits of things i don't like. i could say that, but it would be a waste of time. When Master and i first got together, we put together an original contract and He actually let me participate some. Things were very new between us and it was a good way to establish trust. i expressed concern about asphyxiation and all things related to breathing. It terrifies me as i was born an asthmatic. He really did very little reassure me that He wouldn't push those limits and that really set the tone for our relationship. i was allowed to tell Him what i was afraid of, but that's where it ended, He was in complete control of what would happen from there.

Another example would be the hood, again very little cool, fresh air when i am in a hood. However, He has pushed my limits far beyond what i ever thought possible. Depending on the hood, i can be quite comfortable, other times i still have moments of anxiousness but it's up to me to overcome that. Master will do with His property as He sees fit at the time.

If we're talking about pain it is much the same story. i am not a pain slut, as it were. Master is not so much the sadist that He enjoys inflicting pain on me to see me writhe in pain for pain's sake. What He does appreciate is watching me endure a certain element of pain for total submission. If i deserve a punishment then sometimes He'll give me a fair dose of pain. No matter what the reason is, i have no say, ever.

There have been other activities as well. Master decided early on in our relationship that He would have nipple rings placed in me. i was terribly nervous but He took me to the shop, told the piercer what He wanted and it was done. Last summer Master decided that He wanted to have labia rings done, so He did it Himself, i had nothing to say about it.

To answer your question, there is no limit that i won't go beyond, my limit i suppose is ultimately my connection with Master. i trust Him and have complete faith that He knows what i can and cannot handle. i am His most prized possession (His words not mine), He won't damage me so much that i am worthless to him.

Thank you for the question!! =)

Ask me anything

I took Masters collar 2 days ago and am wearing it 24/7. I am very happy to serve Master and looking forward to this journey. Did you ever want to take your collar off when you first started, or did it come naturally to you to wear it 24/7?

Firstly let me apologize for the length in which it has taken me to get back to you, times have been a bit hectic for Master and i. Secondly, congratulations to you and your Master, these are happy times for you, indeed! =)

This would be a two part answer for me i think. i truly believe that wearing Master's collar and serving Him is what i was put on this earth do. i was
really a novice to this lifestyle when i met Master, i knew the basics but that's about it.

Physically taking the collar off was never my choice, once it was on me it was on to stay. The rule was that i would never take it off except to shower and then i had a shower collar or in public until we got a public collar to wear.

There were times however that i was unsure of my own performance and submission. i never wanted to remove it or give it back, i was always concerned that i would disappoint Him. Just like in the beginning of every relationship there were doubts, i was very far away from everything and everyone i knew and everything about this relationship was foreign to me. Every new experience though was just one more gave me more confidence in Master and more faith in my own ability to submit to Him.

It hasn't really changed today. i continue to grown in my submission to Him. i learn how to please Him all the time. The more i learn about Him, the stronger my submission becomes.

Blessings to you on your journey may you find the joy that i've found in serving my Master.

Peace to you!

Happy Birthday Master!!!! =)

We've been so involved in other things lately that we haven't really taken the time to appreciate each other, like we normally do. Tomorrow we're taking a day, like we always do this time of year. Tomorrow we're going to celebrate Master's birthday and i hope it's amazing for Him.

Today Master spent His birthday working at His parents house trying to get things ready for when His brother gets here. No matter how hard we try or how prepared He thinks He is, something always seems to slow us down. An hour project takes an hour and a half or we end up running out of something!

i know it's been more hectic than ever lately but i hope You know how much i love You and how thankful i am that i'm the one You want to spend even the most crazy of times with!!!

Happy Birthday Master!!! i love You!!! =)

His lil helper!

We've had some pretty long days this week so, knowing that today was going to be one of our longest yet, i was going to make it a little easier on myself for this evening. So last night i made tonight's dinner and had it totally ready to put in the oven. i knew that when i got home tonight all i would have to do is put it in the oven and we'd be all set. Then i would be able to sit down for at least an hour and make my blog post that i've been really lacking all week!

So i'm getting everything all set up in the bedroom to sit down at the lap top and the dog runs in, so yeah. An unexpected 30 minutes later and a partial fanny haircut and living room carpet cleanup. Y U C K. It's really my fault, he's needed a haircut for a month, omgosh why is it on that one night when you think you've planned everything so perfectly though? haha!!!

Next week Master's brother is coming to visit with his wife and one of their 8 (yes 8) kids. They are staying at Master's Mom and Dad's house and seeing that it's just Master's Dad there on his own, i'm getting the house ready for guests and getting it decorated for Halloween/Fall like Master's Mom would want it. They are coming home because she's still in the nursing home and although she's shown tons of improvement she's still not doing great, so they're coming to see her. It's going to be a very busy time while they are here as there are lots of birthdays to celebrate! Master's being one of them!!! =)

i will be so glad when things settle down for us, this whole summer has been a whirlwind of running around. i know being sedentary isn't good for us either but this has just been crazy. We still have projects of our own from the very beginning of the summer that we never even got to think about starting. We were really focusing on His parents and i'm not saying that the priorities weren't in the right place, they were we did the right thing by taking care of Master's parents first.

Today Master was drilling through cement and it's really hard work, without the right drill. Well okay it's hard to do with the right drill it's almost impossible without the right drill. After He got to like the very last hole He needed i asked Him if i could maybe try. He must have really been exhausted because He let me try. Normally He would have said "no way" especially because i might have broken the bit, but He let me try anyway. So i did and i was actually helpful. Probably because by the time i tried, i wasn't as exhausted as He was getting to be and i helped finish off the last part. It doesn't sound like much but when i help Him on a project and i know i've really done something worthwhile, like helped cut lumber or carry my fair share or like today bare a little bit of the load, i really feel like a help to Him. He sighed a sigh of relief when that last hole was done and i knew He was happy and i was glad to have helped Him. That's just as nice as hearing "good girl".

It was a pretty good day and pretty soon our supper will be ready, so i better scoot off here! =)

Peace to you and yours,

Probably Not A Match! Hmph!

Ten years ago i put up an ad on ALT.com and received a few different emails. One of them was from Master. The email i got from Him went something like this; We're probably not a match, but it's worth a shot, reply if you're interested.

Of course that's not verbatim but that was the vib i got.

There were a few different emails to sort through and i replied to a couple, one of them said i was too fat and he actually lived right around the corner from me. i actually was challenged by Master's email and a little irritated "i'll show You we're a match, dang it!"... HAHA! So i replied to His.

As soon as i was able, i sent Master an instant message. The very first words spoken between us were on Yahoo Messenger and they were: "Hello Sir, are you too busy to talk?". That was ten years ago, yesterday! =)

Since the very first conversation, Master archived every single conversation we've ever had on Yahoo and has a complete history of our growing relationship on line. It was fast of course, being that i was living here a short 30 days later.

Since then though, we've had many conversations on Yahoo, when i was staying at my Mom's taking care of her and my grandma, for instance. Even here at home when i've been gagged we've talked on Yahoo or even in times of difficulty, we've used Yahoo as a tool to calmly discuss problems. It gives us a chance to think about things before we say them and work through things. It's amazing when i think about where we started and where we are now. All the things we've been through even in ten short and ten long years all bundled into one. So much as we've stayed the same, we've changed so much it's crazy. As a couple we've grown into what might seem to be two completely different people but at the core we're still the same people who met and fell in love.

We were just talking about this a couple days ago, i have changed so much for Him, i knew i was going to change what i wore and how i would submit to Him. When you look deep inside of who i really am, my personality and what makes me, me. That person is who He fell in love with, the person who was so passionately in love with Him and willing to make those changes for Him. If we didn't have enough other things in common we wouldn't have made it this long. i guess my point here is, did He pick me for what He could make me or did He pick me for me? Both, He chose me because i was the one who wanted to become everything He wanted me to be, because i wanted to become His. Pretty simple really.

Thank You Master for choosing me ten years ago. Happy (late) Anniversary!

Because He Says So

i just sat down here determined to make a post regardless of what i had to say or not to say. my posts have been few and far between lately and i can't use being busy as an excuse, everyone is "busy" and when it comes right down to it, we're rarely busy. Busy is sort of a state of mind isn't it? It's what you make of it and how well you handle the amount of activities in your life that determine whether or not a person truly just runs out of time. i'll buy that sooner than "i'm busy".

Being busy is so often over used. People will say i am so sorry i didn't get this or that done, i have been far too busy, when in fact they haven't, the truth of the matter is we're just bad at prioritizing. Was that person so busy they couldn't call you back? Really? A phone call takes what? Thirty seconds to make they just couldn't squeeze it in? Do you buy the fact that they never sat down at their computer to check facebook or watched a bit of TV? It's priorities. Don't say you were too busy, just be honest and say you're sorry, and don't offer excuses.

So back to blogging why don't i put blogging at the top of my priorities? i do actually, i think about posting every time i sit at my computer but the same thing happens to me on my blog that used to happened to me conversationally. i never used to talk when i was younger because i didn't think that people would want to hear it, i thought it would be "silly". So i just, didn't. Same thing here, it's not exactly the same but it's a little bit the same. A lack of confidence, i suppose. Sometimes i think it takes a tiny bit of arrogance to own and operate a blog. Who wants to come here constantly and read what i have to say? Right? It's quite opposite of submissive behavior to believe that things i have to say are so interesting or ensnaring that one might visit day after day to see just what MD's treasure has to say today. i am reminded by Master though that i don't blog or journal because i believe i have so much to say, i write because He says i'll write.

Another problem is, i don't pay attention to myself throughout the day. i don't remember what's happened between Master and i so i don't have much to reflect on here. Does that make sense? Every once in a great while something will hit me and i'll think OH! i should remember that for the blog but so many things are just common place for us that it doesn't strike me as remarkable. More often than not it's Master who will say "you should blog about that", then i'll take note. If He doesn't say something, i won't think twice about a situation between us. So i guess if anyone should ever ask me, "can slavery become "hum drum"?" i suppose the answer would have to be "yes, in some ways, it can". Only in that like everything else, it's what you're used to. i'm used to being tossed to my knees or on my back at a moments notice and being told to suck it. i'm used to being chained to the bed for the whole night or having my ankles chained together or both at the same time and unless i think really hard, i completely forget that it's even happened.

It's like i need to keep a journal about what to journal about! haha!

Peace to you and yours,

It would seem that you were not into this life before you met your master. How did he persuade you to become his complete sex slave?

Master is my first real life Master, yes. i learned of BDSM on line through a couple of different avenues. i was quite green when i became His slave, that is certainly true enough! =)

i must say though, there was really no persuading needed. Once i learned of this lifestyle and what a submissive was i was hooked and anxious to become owned. i didn't know all the ins and outs of slavery vs submissiveness nor did i know a lick about bondage. What i did know was that i wanted to serve and i wanted to do it to the best of my ability. i also knew that it was going to take a forgiving Master because while i was eager, i was new and i have some short comings.

So really, i needed no convincing to become His slave, or sex slave at all. i jumped at the chance. As a matter of fact, i even submitted a written resume' to Master, listing all my qualifications! HA! HA! =) i bet if i asked Him, He's still got that resume' archived somewhere in an old email exchange.

Maybe i should be embarrased how "easy" i was when He went looking for me or maybe i should feel like i was a sleeze, but i don't. i just had a feeling that this was the right thing from the get go. Master moved me here exactly 30 days after we met on line. We knew what we wanted and we've been going strong ever since. =)

Thanks so much for the question!!

Ask me anything

About your bathroom rule. Does master just want to control your privacy or does he actually come into the bathroom to watch you pee and poop?

There are a couple different elements about the bathroom and privacy rule here. Yes He definitely wants and has had complete control over my privacy. i have never been allowed any privacy, that's always been a rule. This is the exact rule as written: #21 you will keep no secrets from Me, unless they involve surprises or gifts. This is another rule regarding privacy, as written: #22 you will have no privacy from Me. you will not close a door between us without permission (except doors leading outside).

So as you can see privacy has always been something that He's had complete control over. The bathroom element is something new though, even before i had to ask permission to use the bathroom, He would sit on the bed and watch me while i went to the bathroom. i've always been really private and this was horrifying to me. Since then it's been easier and easier for me to be open in front of Him.

He has given me no choice but to lay it all out there for Him no matter how horrible it was for me. Master is by no means into bathroom or scat play but what He is into is objectifying me and making me as pliable as possible. This is a pretty effective way of doing so. =)

Thank you so much for the question!
