Here in a few minutes we are off to meet a new friend. We are going to one of my least favorite places, but I plan to have a good time anyhow. After dinner we plan to come sit in the hot tub and just veg. What a plan!

So I was sent a message from a guy, from several states away, asking if I would please tie him down and be very mean to him.

I replied," With what? Virtual ropes and my F2 key? Why bother? You would just use your escape key."

Yeah yeah my own brand of humor,

Steak with green onions and mushrooms, peas ( for the Masterful one), Broccoli with cream cheese sauce, mashed taters and gravy, and brown and serve rolls....MMmmmmmmmm

Okay, so my licensing worker shows up today. I point to my note on the door and tell her I am closed. She reads it and tells us Happy Anniversary. She says she will leave and come back later in the week. I tell her no way! You are here come on in and have a seat. May as well get the visit over with so I know she wont be here for the next few months.

The funny thing is she came on my birthday too. I pointed this out to her and we all had a good laugh.

The visit went great. She was here and gone in half an hour and we shot the breeze for half of it. She left wishing us a happy Anniversary again and promised not to come back on Valentines Day!!!

Anyhow it was hilarious!

Funny day today it is!

This is me and Rocky!

This is me, Rocky, and Chewy.

us again... See, I am wearing my new footie pjs. That messy green crumpled cloth on the left are the clothes I should have on!

He wants to play but almost knocked me over!!!! Isn't he sweet!

See the earrings!!! Those are my pearls from Valentines day. Pearls and Pjs makes me a happy girl!

William Master and Duke all on the giant bean bag in the living room Summer 2007

Yes, I know William is wearing a hoodie, but it was Summer!

So there we were in the hot tub relaxing the morning away, just Anna and I. Papa was still in bed snoozing enjoying our Anniversary off work. We plan to spend the day home and just relaxing.

Anyhow Anna was laying on her tummy in the hot tub with her naked moon floating above water and I was sitting close by. We were just talking about nothing when suddenly out of no where a giant oak leaf started falling toward us. I watched it fall and figured it was going to land in the hot tub with us. I plan to grab it and throw it out. Down down it came and the stem landed Smack dab in Anna's butt crack. The leaf planted itself standing upright waving like a flag. I began laughing hysterically as Anna started flapping her arms and shaking her ass," What is in my ass. Get it out! What is it". It took me a few minutes to recover from my laughter before I could pick the leaf and show her. The whole thing was hilarious and unlikely. It planted so well that when she started wiggling like a mad woman it just waved like a flag planted to claim an undiscovered land!!!!

Too funny!

He climbed over the pumpkins just to get to me. He is in his cow costume! 9 months old.

Sunset All Hallows Eve above our house

All Hallows Eve taken in a grave yard. Can you find the owl?

My poor baby is disgruntled in his costume. See him sulk?

1. When did you first go into service in a D/s relationship?
I was 15. I knew the relationship I had with my older partner was very different than the relationships of my friends. However, I was on my own, emancipated, and supporting myself. I was different than my peers in many ways and this was just one more. I was with him for nearly five years.

I have now been with my current Master for ten years ( on Monday)

2. What is your first memory?

Age 2... sitting on my much older brothers lap pulling hard candy from his pocket. He had butterscotch and peppermints. I would wrinkle my nose and say yuck if I pulled a peppermint and he would let me pick again.

3. Did you have elaborate sexual fantasies as a child?

No I did not. I did not have any interest in sex until I was 17. This could be related to ongoing sexual abuse as a child by my stepdad though...

4. Which planet would you live on if you had to pick and they could support human life?

I cannot even wrap my mind around this concept. I am such a realist.... So, I will say venus... because it rhymes with penis and that amuses me....See, what a deep thinker I am

5. How did you start your own business?
Clients started approaching me offering me good money to do so and begging me to open my own business... I agreed since I was quitting my job due to some moral ethical reasons anyhow and would need to do something. Starting my own business, with clients built in, was easier than looking for another job.

Today we were blessed with an unexpected day off. It has been nice. I slept as late as I wanted, but did not actually sleep in. I got up fairly early and got most of my daily chores done. I started a load of laundry, and folded the dry stuff. I vacuumed the living room and playroom. I cleaned both of the playrooms and swept the hall. I did the maintenance on the hot tub and instructed William to get the holiday stuff out of the house and back to the garage. I did the dishes and feed and watered the cats and dogs. Then I lounged around and watched TV for a few minutes. I played Bejeweled on the PS3 and just sat and looked at the Christmas tree. Next I lounged in the hottub for an hour just reading.

Later I plan to wrap a few Christmas presents and watch a football game. I am thoroughly enjoying our day off!!!

Off to have lunch with my girl,
Maggi

Last night we got most of the lights up outside but lost daylight before we made it to the rooftop. That is on the agenda today! We also got the tress decorated inside. Now, we just have to move all the storage boxes and stuff we did not use back to the garage. Christmas is upon us! I plan to get some presents wrapped today! I am going to wrap as I buy this year rather than spending hours and being rushed on Christmas Eve!!

Anna started her new shift this morning. This is going to take some getting used to. However, I am excited that she will be home in a less than 6 hours and we will have all evening left!

Also.... I unexpectedly got the day off work today!!!

No Christmas tree
No Christmas tree
Your branches are invisible
We drive and drive and find you not
It makes me sad and I shall cry
No Christmas tree
No Christmas tree
Your branches are invisible.

That is the song Papa and I had to sing last night as we drove searching for the Christmas Tree farm. However, we eventually found it!!!

This morning we ( the whole family) went to the Christmas tree farm and bought our beautiful nobile fir. It is thick and round like me, and about 6 1/2 feet tall. We plan to decorate it tomorrow.

I am starting to kick the bah humbug bug!!!

P.s. This morning I got breakfast frisco from Hardees/ Carl Jr..... anytime a day starts like this you know it will be a good one!!!

I had a very nice dinner with Master tonight. We went to Longhorn and ate way too much. I wish Anna had been home so she could have gone with us. I had a nice time but I did miss my Anna. We had the Wild West Shrimp appetizer. We had a loaf of thier wonderful bread and salads. I had the ceasar and Master had a garden salad with ranch. They have the most awesome crutons ever. Master ordered a big ole' honkin' ribeye cooked medium and I ordered a top sirloin with extra 7 pepper dust. He has a sweet potato with all the fixin's and I had mashed taters. Master ordered a side of thier BBQ ribs as we had been wanting to try them. They were so tender and delicious. Needless to say we have leftovers. Anna will like them!!!!

After dinner Master and I did a little bit of Christmas shopping. When I say little bit, I mean in and out of 3 places in under 30 minutes. After that we went for a long drive in search of a Christmas tree farm. The place we have bought our tree at for the last ten years moved. It took us many miles and lots of driving to find the new location but we found them. They were closed but we were able to see that trees are cheaper this year than in years gone by. We plan to have a family outing in the morning and go pick our tree and bring it home. We only have one childcare kiddo and we will just take him with us. It should be some nice family time; which if I may add we do not get enough of with real life and work schedules.

We came home and took a few minutes to unload the car then came inside to relax for a bit. Now, we are just waiting on our Anna to be home with us where she belongs. Annas schedule changes in a few days and she will be working mornings. She will have afternoons and evenings with us now. She will be off Fridays and Saturdays too!!! I am glad. I hate it when she is gone all evening!!! So, it seems as if recent developments in our lives mean we are going to have to join normal society in sleeping nights and being up in the morning. It is a very strange concept and I am thinking it is going to take some time for us nocturnal creatures to adapt!!! I think we can make it work and may find that life is more convenient this way. Now, we just have to train our friends and family to call and visit during regular person hours instead of the wee hours of the morning!!!

We plan to get our Christmas tree up and the house and yard decorated this weekend. Now, I am just hoping for a white Christmas....
... before Christmas gets here... our Anniversary will arrive..... ten years together, 8 years married and still madly in love with this man. It is his and Annas anniversary too. She has now officially been with us forever. I look toward forevermore.

Life is good even with PMS and I am blessed,

Wow, it sure was nice to have four days off and I needed them... badly. However, it is Monday morning and I am having a tough time getting back into the swing of things. I would love to stay curled up in my warm bed until noon... but there are kids to teach and books to read.

Only 3 more weeks until the next long weekend.
I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

Ya know... I do not feel so exhausted after 15 hours of sleep! I came home from the in-laws at 4 yesterday and lay down for a nap. I woke up at 1130. I went back to bed a little after 1am and stayed there until 1130 this morning!!! I would have slept longer but my back was aching and demanding I get up.

I cleaned the hot tub and checked the laundry. I checked my facebook games and now I am ready to find some food!!!!

A rented oven to save the day, total and utter exhaustion, family I treasure, blessed beyond belief, a 6 hour nap then more food, a hot tub calling my name.....Seriously, I am thankful and blessed. Who could ask for anything more.

A nice glass of wine...

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends and family. Anyone want to come by tomorrow for pie or leftovers?

Maggi

Luckily we were able to secure a rental oven to get us through Thanksgiving. It was put in about 2 pm today and the baking commenced. I have Pumpkin pie number 5 in the oven right now. I just finished peeling the eggs for the deviled eggs and plan to go make them in a few minutes. My carrots are in the marinade too. I made my pistacio dessert this afternoon as well. As soon as pumkin pie number 6 finishes baking I will be putting in the turkey breast to cook, then depending on the time either the extra stuffing or the turkey. I am getting ready to go boil the green beans with bacon and spices to make my mashed potato water too... Yes, yes, I can do that tonight as well.

Sweet potatoes...Alexea is suppose to be bringing those. I have some in there that I will need to find time to prepare if she doesn't come through.... no no, she will be here in a few hours and have them. Tomorrow I will just need to warm them.

Tomorrow we have to make the Mashed potatoes and gravy, finish the big turkey, boil the corn on the cob, make the cream corn, and the green bean casserole. Last we have to warm the rolls.We also need to make the punch and be sure to get the cool whip out of the freezer to thaw for all the pies. I thought about making a couple of loaves of homemade bread but with the oven issue I no longer think I will have time.

We will need to make some tea and lemonade tomorrow too.

Bring in the folding table and chairs... clean them..... decorate the table.

Yes yes, this is my running to do list...

Find some time to sleep!

ps Dont forget to set out the nasty cranberry crap at lunch time.

Yay, Anna doesnt have to be to work until 4 something tomorrow. She will have time to go to the in laws with us after all!

.... and it makes me feel very frustrated and stressed to have my awesome oven die 2 days before Thanksgiving. So much for getting the pies made today.....

Anna and I started our Thanksgiving prep work today. We spent most the day shopping for Thanksgiving yesterday. We ran the oven cleaner. We chopped all the veggies. Got the baby carrots ready to marinate tomorrow. We boiled the eggs for the deviled eggs. We made a chocolate cream pie. We made a mint chocolate mud pie and a white chocolate oreo pie. We started the turkey(s) brining and cleaned out the fridge. Tomorrow we will be marinating the baby carrrots and making six pumpkin pies. I am not sure what else we can do to make our life easier on Thanksgiving morning, but plan to do whatever we can. We are eating at 1130, which is super early to have everything ready, but wanted Anna to be able to eat before work and take left overs with her since she has to work.

Now, if we can just keep Papa out of the pies we will be in business!
