Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I know it's a day early and that I have a Christmas background, but I didnt want to forget to make a post for Thanksgiving!



I hope you all have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love! We have so much to be thankful for!



I am thankful for my wonderful husband who despite his reservations attempts to live this DD lifestyle with me. We have our ups and downs, but it has been a great asset to our marriage.



I am thankful for my beautiful children that remind me so much about what is important in life and how unconditional love can be a reality.



I am thankful for the freedoms we enjoy here in this country. The freedom to gather and worship God openly in any way we choose. The freedom to vote, to speak my mind, to education, etc...



I am thankful for the men, women and their families who sacrifice daily to protect this country or sacrifice time with their loved one so that they can protect our liberties.



I am thankful for my friends here, who care about me despite my short-comings but encourage me anyway.



Happy Thanksgiving and God bless!!

HOLY CRAP! ... I forgot we had that thing!

Well, since I've heard rumors that it's "Love Our Lurkers Day", I figured I'd add a real DD post for any lurkers I may have left out there :).

Have you ever had one of those moments during a spanking when you're expecting one thing to impact your posterior region and what actually ends up striking there causes you to think very quickly "Holy Crap, I forgot we had that thing and I'm in BIG trouble now!! " ? I had one of those moments this weekend.

First off, I have to start by telling you about two implements we bought a few months back. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to resize pics to fit here from my digital camera or I' d post a few pics. The first one is a maple paddle about 18 inches long from tip to tip and has holes on the business end which is about 5 inches long. It packs a pretty good sting. The second one is the one that caused this thought to go through my head though. It's a rubber strap with a large wooden handle. The strap itself is about 18 inches long and 4 inches wide. That is a LOT of coverage!! Oh my word!

So, this weekend, my husband was spanking for the recurring laundry problem that exists in this house. He is spanking and I'm squirming of course and then he says.. "Here's a little extra for you since this is a continual problem here." Now I'm expecting one of two implements, the horrid giant bathbrush or the strapwrench. The evil rubber strap never entered my mind. I had forgotten we even had it as it is saved for very serious points. Well, I remembered real quick the second that thing landed on my bare backside!!! Holy cow!! Let's just say, the laundry is now caught up and I'm looking for a good buy on feather pillows and frozen peas!

Thanks for stopping by :)
