Gradituesday

Lunch – these days it probably my favorite part of my work day.


Laundry – this is lot like my kitchen. Great to have clothes to wash, wonderful to have a washing machine in which to clean them and fantastic to have a husband that does it!!



Those with L names – both my children have L names, so does the dog for that matter! I haven’t called any of them by the right name in 16 years! But I love them.



Love – and speaking of love, what can I say here to do it justice? Hopefully you all know what love is in all its wonderful forms, the love of a pet, your friends, a child and that special love given to the most special person in your life.



Looks – Not my looks, I don’t scare people away but I won’t be bragging on my looks. No I’m talking about the looks that I get from friends when we know exactly what the other is thinking – and this makes me think of Eva. So many of our conversations in person take place in front of Mollie or one of her girls sometimes a look must convey what we are thinking.



Of course, the looks I get from Nick can be the very best! Again because we are often not alone a look can allow us to share a joke or sometimes even plan an evening.

Longing – I think it was longing that got me to where I am today. It’s true that I was very, very slow to get here but the longing to be close to Nick, the longing for him to know my thought on dominance, submission and spanking, mostly the longing for the courage to tell him everything. It was the longing that got me here.



Letters – my son went through a period of writing real letters – snail mail folks! I cherish those letters. Letters written by hand are always going to be special. Even though these are very memorable I consider every letter I get by email special too. You can’t beat the written word.

Diet Update

After a weekend away and a week home (making snacking easier) I was up just under a half pound. Nick doesn’t spank for that small a gain since our scales can change that much with in minutes but I still wish it had not been a gain, even a small one.

But I did have an interesting experience today. I was ready for church looking in the mirror and for the first time in nearly forever I didn’t feel like I looked fat. Oh I don’t mean anyone would ever call me skinny but I no longer feel fat. It was a really good feeling. I am also with in a few pounds of changing that middle number!! That will be a real boost so I really want to get there. But just feeling more comfortable with myself is worth all the work
