I&#8217;m trying to get back in the swing of things but with new curtains to hang and other fun nesting materials calling my name, it&#8217;s hard.  Heck, I&#8217;m worn out from all the shopping I&#8217;ve had to do. *grin*<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve actually come up with an almost spank-proof way of shopping, too.  Instead of taking Dan with me on all my expeditions, I go out scouting first.  I buy little stuff as I please but for the big purchases I go out and find what I want before I involve Dan.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a neat trick that seems to be working.  So far he&#8217;s only teasing me about earning a spanking for one upgrade.  We went into a store with our minds supposedly made up about what television we were going to buy but somehow came out of the store with one that cost twice as much.  <\/p>\n<p>Not my fault, of course.  I was standing by the one we were planning to buy but looking yearningly at the one I really wanted.  Luckily he saw it, too, and couldn&#8217;t resist it.  He&#8217;s been teasing me, telling me I deserve a spanking for the upgrade but he admits he&#8217;s just playing.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not quite sure I&#8217;m completely pleased with how well my plan has worked though.  I may have to revise my rewards campaign.  When I&#8217;ve been an especially good shopper, I think I should receive an extra good spanking.<\/p>\n<p>I need to work on the specifics, but this could be the answer I&#8217;ve been looking for.  When I find a really good bargain, I should get a reward spanking.  I&#8217;ll start my own reward program.  For every successful shopping venture I complete, I should get a good girl spanking.<\/p>\n<p>That makes sense, right?  Now I just have to talk Dan into it.  Wish me luck! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should&#8217;ve said something sooner but I&#8217;ve been busying nesting again and haven&#8217;t been blogging as often as I should.
