I’m practicing my “lady of leisure” act today. I’m resting and relaxing, parked by a window enjoying the view and a good book, and occasionally slipping off into a good daydream.
Can you guess what I’m daydreaming about?
*Update: I just noticed that somehow I managed to de-select the comment option for the two previous posts. Oops! It’s back on now for current posts.*
This is the type of helping hand I had in mind when I got out of the shower, but Dan’s mind leapt to something totally different, of course.
I was having some problems reaching a few damp spots and he thought spanking my bottom dry was more efficient than using the towel. My arm may be slow to heal with that kind of service! *wink*
I wasn’t really doing anything (that’s usually the way these stories start for me) and then something gave out.
I’ve sort strained my shoulder and one arm is out of commission for now. My typing ability is limited so blogging will be slow for the next few days.
I can still put up pictures though since I can still point and click with one hand. Yay.
It’s been too nice to stay indoors. Forgive my absence I can’t sit still at the computer. Of course, after I get those 51 swats I might not be able to then either. *wink*
The official total is…*drumroll*…51 swats! Yay!
Okay, I know some of you think that I should count my own comments, but I didn’t think that was fair. So to make it up to you, Dan will give me a long warmup before giving me the official 51 swats. Now doesn’t that sound fair?
Okay, so maybe it’s not completely fair since I enjoy a good warmup. But this is all for fun anyway and I’m planning to have a lot of fun. 51 swats of fun! Heh.
Now the next logical question is, which of our many implements should we use? I’ve put in a vote for my pretty rose paddle, but since it’s considered a “warmup” toy, I doubt it will happen.
Besides we’re just in the negotiation phase so I have to bid low to start out. Of course, that’s to counter Dan’s starting bid. He opened with a vote for the giant lexan paddle, of course. He just loves that thing!
Well, maybe it’s not the paddle Dan loves, maybe it’s the way my toes curl with every swat and how I hop around rubbing my bottom when he’s done using it. After that last time, he was quite happy to see that I had to sit down very carefully when I went back to my desk.
I’m not sure, but I think after sitting for a bit that’s when I decided he’s been working so hard lately that he was in dire need of a blow job. Negotiations can get very friendly around here in case I hadn’t mentioned it before. *wink*
Friday was Love Our Lurkers Day and I was thrilled to meet some new people! Thanks to all who came by and said “hello” for the first time, as well as everyone else who stopped by for the fun. I appreciate all of you!
As y’all know, I had considered making a game of things by taking one swat per comment, but I couldn’t make up my mind. I’ve been posting so infrequently of late that I felt like I should reintroduce myself to you all. Hey, remember me? I’ve almost been lurking on my own blog after all.
Then I started thinking. Yes, I know, that can be a dangerous activity. I started thinking why not include everyone in this? Why not give everyone a chance to be counted? I can count the commenters from LOL Day and then start this new thread giving everyone a chance to make their mark.
See that picture? That’s my bottom in its unnatural state; unspanked and free of marks. It barely has a blush! So sad.
But you can help change that! Yes, you out there in cyberland. I don’t care if you just delurked (or maybe are now inspired to), or have commented countless times, you are invited to make your mark, literally. Let’s even things up and give everyone a chance.
Hit the comment button and give me a swat! It’s easy and it’ll be fun! I promise. I’ll keep this going until at least Tuesday and I’m looking forward to seeing who all is still here.
Say “Hi” and give me a swat, my bottom will thank you…I hope. *grin*
*One last thing, I’ve been fighting the spambot wars for some time so I used to have my WordPress comment options set so that all first-time commenters got sent into moderation. I didn’t feel that was as friendly I’d like to be so I changed that setting. Yeah, the occasional spam comment gets through, but it’s rare now with the settings I’m using, and besides, I think it’s worth it if no one has to wait for me to okay their comment. Just so ya know, if you’re new.*
Bonnie from my My Bottom Smarts has announced the second annual Love Our Lurkers Day for Friday, October 12! Yay! She’s got a good number of bloggers joining in (which she’s listing as blogs join in). If you can, go check out what’s happening across the spanko blogosphere.
The point of LOL Day is to draw out the large number of readers who come by to read but don’t comment. I understand completely because I know how it is. You see, I’m a lurker, too. But I’ve found that no matter who it is, anytime I come out of the woodwork to comment, I’m always greeted with open arms. It’s always a pleasant surprise.
Today I’m going to do my best to go out and say “Hi” to the bloggers I’ve been taking for granted and maybe greeting some of the ones I haven’t met before. It should be fun. You should join in! It’s going to be like a big open house out there in spanko blogland.
I know I haven’t been the most reliable blogger in the world lately, but I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. I know there’s people out there still reading though and I want to thank all of you for that! So even if you’re not a lurker, you can say hi anyway. It’ll be like old pals meeting up again.
I considered making this into a competition since y’all know how much I love that sort of thing. I thought one swat per comment ought to be fun. But then I wasn’t sure that was such a good idea since we have that new paddle and all. Besides, it wouldn’t be fair. I wouldn’t know if you commented because you like me or if you just wanted me to get spanked a lot. *wink*
Also I remember the last time I tried that. That was a bit surprising. I had no idea how much I was loved by my readers. That much love can make a girl’s bottom sore!
Hmmmm…now I can’t remember, was I trying to talk myself out of or into that swat per comment deal? Let me think…
I’ll sort it out eventually. In the meantime, everybody go out there and show some comment love around the blogs! I’ll be out there somewhere doing the same.
I was hoping to get a pic of our newest paddle, but unluckily I can’t get a decent shot of it. I guess that means I’ll just have to describe it to you.
First of all, it’s big. Really big! It’s about 22″ long, 3 1/2″ wide, and 3/8″ thick. It’s also rather attractive. But here’s the kicker; it’s lexan.
Yup, I have completely lost my mind. I bought the biggest lexan paddle I could find.
In my defense, I was suffering from a rather intense bout of greedy bottom syndrome when I saw it. If you’re a greedy bottom, you know how what I’m talking about. There I was surfing around the net, not really planning to buy anything, just looking and maybe drooling a little over all the pretty toys that caught my eye. That’s when it occurred to me, we didn’t have a lexan paddle.
I’m sure some of you are thinking I should’ve been glad of that fact, but that’s not how I felt. In fact, I felt a little cheated that I didn’t have one of those fancy polywhatchamacallit type paddles of my very own. It didn’t help that I decided to do a little research and look for first-hand accounts of lexan paddle spankings. That was probably actually my downfall, now that I think of it.
There were so many stories of how mean and evil the lexan paddle can be, how intense it could be, and I couldn’t resist the pull. I just had to have one. And being the kind of woman I am, I went out and found one of the biggest ones I could find. “Go big or go home” I always say.
I ordered it and waited anxiously for it to arrive. Then it got here and I got a good up close and personal look at it. Hmmmm…that was a lot more paddle than I was expecting.
Not that I got much of a chance to think about it, Dan immediately took it away from me, bent me over the arm of the couch, and gave it a trial run. The first couple of swats weren’t too bad, he was taking it easy, trying to get a feel for it. That didn’t last long, of course, and the swats kept getting harder. It didn’t take long for me to realize that was one intense paddle.
Dan didn’t use it for long the first time, we thought we’d go slow and build up to a real spanking. But being the paddle slut that I am, pretty soon I was ready for more. I’m not positive, but that first day, I think I got around 15 or so good swats with it. We were taking it easy after all.
Here’s where I really loose my mind; I liked it. I liked it a lot. Bad, greedy bottom!
The next day, I was ready to go again. So we did. We were working our way up to some real spanking. After just a dozen or so swats, my bottom was burning a bit and beginning to feel somewhat tender. It just whet my appetite for more of that bun burner.
That’s when we came up with the idea of breaking the paddle in properly over a few days. Dan’s been looking for a good toy to make my bottom sore without leaving a lot of ugly (in my opinion) marks and we decided this might be the right tool for the job. I was excited about the whole thing and started making a plan.
We were even starting on the big sore bottom plan when the weekend started. That was right before we both caught a stupid cold. Grrr! My plans for a good sore bottom were derailed by the common cold.
We’re recovered now, the big lexan paddle is propped up by the foot of our bed where I can see it, and we’re about to get back with the program. Dan caught me fresh out of the shower this morning and gave me several good swats with it but we were getting ready to go out so we didn’t have much time. Darn!
But don’t worry, we’re both determined to give this paddle a workout. I’m ready for a good sore bottom and Dan’s more than ready to give it to me. This could be an interesting week…
