Things

Let's see.... Work is winding down. It won't be long and I'll be on vacation. That's always something to look forward to. It's been a GREAT year though. I mean with the weight loss, increased energy, and improved outlook my ability to enhance the minds of youth while annoying them greatly is much improved.

Are the spring flowers on steroids this year or is it just an improved perspective. No kidding - the daffs are HUGE this year. And I noticed a tree yesterday. It has huge pink blossoms and smells wonderful. Everything seems brighter and bigger this year. It's very cool.

What else? Oh, the ticker finally has a nice new number. I hadn't changed it since January because - give or take a pound - I had quit losing... or so it seemed. Lately I'd dropped to 165 - give or take a pound of course but this morning I hit a brand new all time low so I'm claiming it. This past week I saw 164 quite frequently so .... I guess I might still lose a few pounds. My goal is still to get into the 150's.

Offspring #3 is graduating college in 3 weeks. She's moving home. I bought a skirt last night for graduation. That's all I'm saying about that.... for now anyhow.

An old high school friend lost her son this week. Nice family. We always stopped to talk a minute when we bumped into each other. They are just a good old fashioned family.. mom dad one boy one girl. They go to church. They do mission trips with their kids. Why do these things happen? He was 17. Collapsed after running in a race at a track meet. His funeral is this morning. How does a parent bury a child? And then walk away?

I saw my gastric bypass surgeon this week. He's going to fix my hernia. It's huge. It's scheduled to happen in about six weeks. I'll miss the last couple days of work but it has to be this way because we're flying in July and I have to have enough recovery time in order to fly. The tickets are already bought. It's going to be a rough surgery. I'm not looking forward to it. Not only will they fix my hernia, they are going to remove the loose skin on my belly. I'm glad. I don't have a lot compared to some I've seen but there's enough there that I'm sure I'll go down another pants size once it's done.

I bought some summer clothes. I had NOTHING. I mean NOTHING. Not one pair of shorts that fit, even. Last summer I bought clothes because I was so big and I didn't have much for the trip we were taking. I bought all size 24 and 3X. This summer? I bought size 8. And they fit. Is that amazing or what? I NEVER dreamed that could happen. I was only hoping for a 12 but thought that might be out of my league.

Last week I bought a waffle iron. It's one of those cool ones like the hotels have. You know the kind. You pour the batter in. Flip it over and wait for it to beep. It's the coolest thing ever. This morning we're going to have wheat waffles with chocolate syrup (sugar free), whipped cream, strawberries, and pecans. Does that sound wonderful or what?

Okay... time to update the ticker and mix the batter!!

Blah

Blah.

That's how I feel toward this blog these days. I just don't seem to have anything to say. My libido is still on hiatus and I can't bring myself to care enough to go looking for it.

I don't even update the ticker anymore. Know why? Give or take a pound, the scales have not moved since January. I'm hoping to take another 10 or 12 pounds off this summer but who knows... I weighed 164 this morning.

Two months ago I went for my six month check. My surgeon told me I have a hernia, that he'd keep an eye on it, and if it needed repaired he would also remove some loose skin. Well, it's worse. Then it was the size of a golf ball. Now? It's bigger than a grapefruit. Instead of waiting till August when I have my one year check, I went ahead and called last week. They are getting me in on Wednesday next week. I'll feel better if he looks at it and says whether it needs fixed soon or not. I'm okay with it either way. I just want to know and don't want to let it go too long. I'm kind of hoping he'll fix it since I feel like I look pregnant.

Last summer before we took our big trip when PK and I met face to face for the first time I bought a whole new summer wardrobe. I knew I'd be not wearing them long because of my surgery but I needed summer clothes then so I bought a few things just to get through the summer. And now this year? An idiot - bless her heart - in my life told me I need to take my old things to a lady she uses for alterations. Excuse me? Who in the heck wants to wear clothes that have been altered EIGHT sizes? Yes, eight. You heard correctly. Last summer I wore 24's and 3X's. This summer? I bought all 8's praying that they'd fit. I ordered them on line and hate the hassle of returning things. They FIT!!!! Everything fit darn near perfectly. So how much do I really care about those last few pounds? Not much. I'm so happy with where I am!!!

What else?

Offspring #1 might be moving 10 hours closer to home. She would then only be 6 hours compared to 16. How cool is that? Fingers crossed and praying a lot.

Offspring #2 recently informed us that they haven't been using birth control. That got my hopes up for a grandbaby however, she then tells us they haven't used it for NINE MONTHS... and NOTHING yet. Hmmmm... And #3? I don't want to talk about her. I'm ready to throttle her for a very just reason.

Spanking?

What's that? I'm not interested in that or sex. It all goes with the libido. Once a spanko, always a spanko however I seem to have lost that lovin' feeling. Sure I'd like it back but I don't know where to look for it. And quit telling me to talk to my doctor. That's not gonna happen. I mean I'm only telling you cuz I don't have to be face to face with you.

I'll close with this:

3 people who need spanked -

1. The jerk who pulled out in front me yesterday. I was going about 62 mph in a 55. Fairly normal if you ask me. This guy pulled out and then went 40. I had to hit the brakes pretty hard. Grrrrr.....
2. The woman who has NOT taken care of something that she promised to take care of for me. Meanwhile she keeps telling me it's taken care of when it's not. Confused? Me, too.
3. PK - She always needs/wants spanked - bless her heart!!!!

Okay.. I'm done.

Bits and Stuff

By now it should be no secret that PK, Nick, Adam and myself had a blast last week. If I could back up and do it all over again, I would. But I can't. So I wont. I can, do, and will look forward to NEXT time though.

In the meantime I can reminisce.

While the 4 of us were stuck in traffic, PK and I discussed things we wanted to remember to post about. I knew that my memory is pretty poor so I whipped out a tablet and pen and started taking notes. I wrote down key words that I hoped would trigger my memory when I got the chance to blog. There was so much I wanted to tell you. Let's see what I can remember. I'll give you each key word I wrote down followed by its explanation.

Leather - See previous post.

Holding out holidays on Adam - See PK's post.

Switching - Now this (I thought) was funny. I was in PK and Nick's room. They were both there. Adam was in our room doing whatever. We were about to head out for supper or something, I think. I was playing around with the new backscratcher Adam and I had given to Nick. Now keep in mind PK is always accusing me of being a switch. (I'm not) The opportunity was just too good. I sat down on the bed and patted my thighs like you do when you call a dog or something. I told PK something to the effect of "come here. We'll find out if I'm a switch or not." She ran from me. I am not sure but I think she really thought I'd do it. (I wouldn't) Okay so maybe it was funnier to me at the moment than it is here in writing but trust me, the look on her face was priceless. Hehehehe

Bamboo - There's bamboo growing in Williamsburg. We got our picture taken together standing in this jungle of the stuff. Okay, call me Yankee but I'd never seen real bamboo growing. I think it was Nick who said "We could call this picture `picking your own'" or something like that.

Pink Tree - This one is mostly for my dear friend Theresa... I shot this in a Christmas store. I couldn't resist. Theresa, when I saw it, I thought of you immediately. Then I turned around to see a wonderful display of pink things.








Shower - Adam's a perve. He LOVED the shower. And do you want to know WHY? For one thing, it was large. For another it had a vertical bar that is perfect for a spankee to hang onto while getting her hide tanned. Dang, wet spankings hurt!!!

T-shirts - PK and I have matching T-shirts which say something on them about twins. The reaction from people was funny. One woman stopped us and told us about a twin festival in her hometown. Ummmm...yeah... I know all about it. Another asked me where my twin was... back at the hotel sleeping. Or is that just what she told us? Hmmm... it WAS a Wednesday and if you read my twin's blog, you KNOW what she does on Wednesdays!! No matter who commented we just went ahead and let them think we are twins. Funny thing is, they probably assumed we really are... just not identical... or are we?

Leather shop - Can you believe it? Mr. Proper Nick found a biker leather shop in the phone book and yup, by golly, we sniffed it out. It had the funniest stickers I've ever seen in my life but do you think I can remember one now? Nope. Not one. They were funny though. We would have bought a new crop there but they were kind of pricey. I didn't want it that badly.


So that's it... that's my notes. Now I just have to get on my laptop and load the pictures. Who knows... maybe I'll find more pictures to show you.

Yup. I found some more!! Here's a favorite picture of mine. On a tour, we each had to wear a name tag. This one was given to PK. She immediately took mine and handed me this one. Eve. Eva. Hmmmmmm.....










And this one was Adam's. Look closely. He was my son. Now that's just SICK. ROFL Would have really been cool if it had said Adam though, huh?


















And this next picture proves it. There were spankos way back when. Just look at this alphabetical spanking position chart!!!!












And look what we found!!! A spanking position Christmas ornament!! We bought 300 of them. We're doing our entire tree in them this December!!















And here's some fun little leather things we happened upon.....



















And as if all that leather isn't enough to prove it was a spanking community, get a load of this display!! We saw these EVERYWHERE. PK couldn't keep her hands off them!!



















We went here:















PK made me try on these lovely hats. Yes, folks, that really is us.















And this is really us, too. While Adam took our picture the correct way, that Nick... he snuck around to our backside. Geeze. The humiliation of it all!!! And they didn't even spank us while they had us there. What's their problem anyhow?? ROFL
















Hope you enjoyed my picture tour!!!

Shoemaking Scraps

I confess.

It's true.

PK and I had our first fight BUT hey, she started it.

Yes, she did. Now I'm certain that she'll bust in here or post on her own site where she'll try to fill your head with lies but remember... you heard it here first. You heard the TRUTH here first!!

Now it's no big deal to tell you all that last week we spent time in Colonial Williamsburg touring the sites there. If you were there and saw two women in matching T-shirts then yup, that sure was us. It was a blast and we got along wonderfully.

Well, that is up until the fight.

Remember. She started it.

Here's what happened:

We went to watch the shoe makers do their thing. It was quite fascinating to listen to them talk about how the shoes of the era were made.

Then and now only the finest leather was/is used.

Did someone say LEATHER?

PK and I looked at each other with that knowing look as one of the shoemakers took a razor to a BEAUTIFUL piece of hide. He cut out a perfect soul for the bottom of a shoe and then picked the scrap up in his hand.

Picture it. A long strip of leather dangling from his hand. It just hung there while he talked. PK and I had to be thinking the same thing: We wondered what became of all that lovely scrap leather. Her eyes were twinkling so I KNEW that she was thinking the EXACT same way that I was.

As we turned back to the shoemaker after looking at one another it was then that it happened.

No. Not our first fight. That came later.

What happened then caused me to gasp and nearly choke in disbelief. I can't be too sure but I do believe that PK was in the same state of mind and physical choking status at that moment in time.

Would you believe that as this shoemaker man talked with us he nonchalantly threw that beautiful scrap of leather out the window that you see in the above picture??

I was STUNNED. I mean what a waste!!!

As we left the shoemaker's shop we talked of the pity it was to waste such good leather. I mean, surely it's got to be good for SOMETHING.

It was about then that PK and I came up with the idea that if we could make our way around to the back of that shoemakers shop then we could retrieve that lovely leather for our very own from underneath the window it was tossed through.

The men followed. We came upon a gate and for a split second I gave up hope thinking it would be locked and that there'd be no way we could get to the leather. I mean it was no secret they didn't want us going around there anyhow.

PK tried the gate. It opened and we slipped on through.

That's when the fight happened.

I had seen that scrap of leather first when he tossed it out the window and felt certain that it rightfully belonged to me. My twin however had the audacity to think it was HERS. Not wanting to cause a scene and get us into trouble I let her take the lovely scrap while I settled for a few mere morsels of leather. Although they smell quite leathery lovely they don't have the spanking potential that the big piece that PK got had.

Okay so I'm kidding.

It's true. We did go around back and gather up the scraps worth gathering that the shoemakers tossed through the window. I mean, wouldn't you? Free leather? What I'm kidding about is us fighting. On the contrary we giggled like a couple of fifth graders at a slumber party. Our scraps were quite lovely although - and this is the sad, sad truth - PK's dog ate hers. Somehow he got into the bag she'd placed hers in and ... well.... you know how dogs are!!

I thought about sending her some of my scraps. I have enough to share however I think she got what she deserved for hogging up the best pieces.

So there you have one vacation story. We stole leather. Then again is it possible to steal what another has trashed?

A Small Taste of Our Trip

Happy Saturday, Everyone!!

Adam and I are on the second leg of our journey.

At the moment our daughter is in the shower. When she's ready, we're heading out to spend the day with her. It's nice to get an unexpected weekend with her at this time of year. That typically does not happen.

I gotta tell you... I had a BLAST with my twin. It was such a nice, fine, relaxing, fun, enjoyable time. We laugh at the stupidest stuff and EVERYTHING seems to come back to spanking which - of course - makes us giggle.

And we talk. We never run out of things to say. It's amazing. You know it's a great friendship when the visit comes to an end and you already can't wait till "next time."

And yes, we already have a few "next times" planned.

Oh, and I know you all want to hear about this!!! I saw PK get spanked a number of times.... and heard it much more. It was nothing to walk down the hall of the hotel with them and hear a CRACK. Hehehehehe

And at the pool? Nick got her good with the towel a few times. If she wasn't so rebellious against him he wouldn't have to continually keep her in line. You know?

But you can't tell her that. She just seems to not hear you when you try.... or at least that's how it was with me. She just wasn't hearing me so I suppose that is to be her fate... to spend the rest of her life being whacked by Nick... even in public!! Even with friends around!!!

We (me and PK) did have a few "what would Cassie do?" conversations. We tried to think of ways to go off and get ourselves into trouble but in the end we just couldn't come up with anything and even more importantly I was afraid if we ditched the boys that we'd get lost!!!

Well, I think my daughter is about ready to go so we're going to head out of here and get this day started.

Having a Blast

Wow ya'all!! (I'm in the south..... gotta at least try to sound southern here or they will hurt you)

I'm in a hotel room with Adam right now and PK and Nick are RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

Now before you go asking me if I heard any noise coming from their room last night, I gotta tell you this: I CRASHED. We got up at 4:15 yesterday morning. Left the house about 5:20 and then arrived at our destination about 2:20. We was some sites, went to dinner and then came back to the hotel and relaxed a bit.

When Adam and I returned to our own room, I fell into bed and died.

I did want you all to be the first to know though, Adam and I were up EARLY this morning.

Hehehehe....

My guess is that PK never heard a thing and you know what's even funnier? You all are gonna know that Adam and I had play time before PK knows about it.

hehehehehehehe......

And Paul, btw, I gave PK that "kiss" for ya!!!

And she knew it!!!

We're going to breakfast here in a bit then running around all day.

In the meantime, I snapped this picture in a gift shop yesterday because I thought you all would like to see what PK and I REALLY look like....
