My oldest and dearest friend, Alli, is visiting from Chicago. When we were knee high to a grasshopper, we used to get into a lot of mischief. Just because we're taller now doesn't mean we have to forego any fun.
We've been having a wonderful time redecorating David's house... So far, we've rearranged his closets, his drawers, his toiletries and alphabetized all the books in his library... according to publisher... sub-alphabetized to year of publication. I'm sure he's tired of searching by title or author or subject matter. We've also painted his guestroom PINK and just before the paint was completely dry, Alli sprayed all the walls with gold sprinkles. We bought some extra-large lady's lingerie and hung the gauzy frilly lacy things in that closet as well.
Naturally, this was all done while Cowboy was at work or out of the house doing errands. I was worried he would smell the fresh paint but the open windows helped a lot. When David yells at Cowboy to yell at me, I'll blame it on Alli. She'll be back in Chicago by then. Yes, I am evil.
The following is from Theresa at Hungry Heart Anxious Bottom: A meme that has been making the rounds. It's shown up on a few other blogs as well. The idea is to copy and paste to your own blog and bold the things you have done. If you don't "blog," share it with your friends.

Next Holiday...
I believe it's safe to say that you know I love holidays. Actually, I mostly love holiday food - I think you knew that, too - although some of the customs and cultures are lovely and meaningful and some are downright fun. Next week is Sukkos. Sukkos is a celebration of the harvest and also of the Tabernacles. I stick to the harvest part.
When we're home Cowboy builds an extension in front and back of the wooden canopy he built for my roses. It's a temporary affair but it does the trick. I hang long wide ribbons and at the end of each ribbon, I tie something good to eat - candied apples, plums, peaches (guess who eats those) and dates, fresh figs, clusters of grapes and the occasional eggplant just to see who's paying attention...
I used to hang vegetables but the kids invited to the party are pretty smart and always ignored those. I also hang candy - all kinds - though chocolate is at a minimum, unless it's dark chocolate which I'm not that crazy about. I also hang "little" toys - miniature racing cars, troll dolls, yo-yos, slinkies, Spalding balls, spinning tops, jacks, slingshots, water guns, marbles, etc.
I love shopping for these in "five & dime" stores and occasionally, spot them at a garage sale and gobble them up for future use. Most kids today have electronic gadgets and ironically, get excited about the old fashioned ones I grew up knowing.
Out here, on the beach, I invited the neighborhood families to come over for the holiday celebration. Bull is building a canopy for me right on the beachfront. I'm expecting a huge crowd and Cowboy said he'd invite a few off-duty squids to keep a campfire going, roast hot dogs and marshmallows and maintain order. Maintain order? Who is going to get rowdy? Okay, no need to reply to that.
"Don't hang water guns or slingshots, bambina."
Oops. Too late.
"You worried we're going to hurt someone with those?"
"YOU're going to pay for it if anyone gets hurts," Mr. Grumpy said and gave me a swat!
Tsk.
Actually... I used the giant squid's credit card to buy everything, including the water guns and slingshots but I think he might be thinking of making me pay in other ways. Did I mention this man often lacks couth?
The pups are very excited. Kids will jump up and down and run and laugh and they're very attracted to that kind of excitement. I just have to make sure they're thoroughly fed before the party begins.
Note to self. Feed Bull before the crowd shows up...
Speaking of Bull...
He's leaving in a few days to go visit his mama and sisters down in Arkansas. I asked if he warned her he was coming so they could set up temporary quarters in the local supermarket.
SWAT!
"Stop making fun of Bull's appetite."
"He's currently eating *your* peach cobbler."
"What? Bull! Front and center!"
Smiling...

Happy New Year!
We're back on the beach again - out at David's house. His housekeeper is away visiting family and since he's still in the Solomon Islands on temporary duty, we're house sitting for a while. The upside is that we've got the entire menagerie with us and the weather is great for jogging along the water. We also get to enjoy David's tortoise while we're here. The downside is that the giant squid turns into Mr. Grumpy when he has to go to work when we're on the beach. He'd rather be home. I'd rather he was home, too. But we still have evenings and weekends to be naughty.
I love New Year celebrations - no matter whose New Year it is. There are several we celebrate during the year - all with great food of course. This past week we had a fairly large crowd over for dinner. We celebrated Rosh Hashana - the Jewish New Year and also the beginning of Ramadan - the holiest month of Islam. It was a wondrous affair!
We had spicy falafel and brown rice and stuffed grape leaves along with a succulent brisket and garlic mashed potatoes and tzimmes. Tzimmes is a sweet carrot dish made with apricots and pineapple. I made sweet noodle kugel, honey cake and a confection made out of walnuts, pistachios and honey. The honey symbolizes the hope for a sweet year. The dessert table also included a variety of fruits with a honey dip and one of my favorite treats - fresh dates and of course, chocolates.
I ate a LOT.
Cowboy ate more than I did.
The sailors and marines in attendance ate more than Cowboy ate.
Bull ate more than anybody else...
When dinner was over and most of our guests left, Cowboy told me to put my feet up and he and Bull and a couple of Bull's friends would clean up. In the process of cleaning, Bull ATE all the leftovers. The pups started whining because Bull isn't big on sharing food with them and he ate what they usually get when a meal is finished.
Tsk.
Speaking of Bull... he asked if he could invite three of his lady friends to dinner.
"Bimbos?"
SWAT!
Tsk. I forgot Cowboy was in the room at the time.
So the three bimbos show up. Truly I can't recall their names but I refer to them as Batty, Brownie and Blackie. All three are gorgeous creatures but unfortunately, it takes all three of them to come up with a 2-digit IQ.
Batty is a blonde with big blue eyes and implants... She kept batting her eyelashes at everyone wearing long pants and I kept waiting for one of those eyelashes to fall into the soup.
Brownie is a sweet little gal with long brown hair, green eyes and the gaze of a star-struck cutie pie who realized that as a female, she was in the minority at the dinner table. She kept taking inventory of all the testosterone in the room and I swear she was mumbling... "So many men - only own two thighs to spread... so little time."
I whispered my thoughts to Cowboy and he had the gall to smack my butt when he passed me in the kitchen!
Tsk.
SWAT!
Double tsk.
Blackie is a beautiful brunette who had to TOUCH every male at the dinner table, including my husband. She went around the table several times and asked everyone if they needed anything she could get for them. I quietly asked her to sit down and enjoy the meal, that it wasn't necessary for her to hostess. She turned to me with her big brown eyes and smiled and said... "Who are you?"
Before I could reply... "I'm your hostess, you moron!" Er... I mean before I could voice the most civil response... the giant squid sounded a warning - sotto voce - "Sar..."
Bull recognized the "Sar..." and chuckled. This led to others chuckling... I smiled at the giant squid and continued serving the meal. Not only do I need to jot this "goodness" down in my quarterly letter to Santa... this is definitely an event that needs recording when I'm up for sainthood.
I finally took Blackie's arm and escorted her to her seat. The long sleeves of her dress probably hid the bruise my fingers must have made. I stopped short of shoving her chair under the table. She needed spanked!
Cowboy gave me "that look."
I ignored him and barely resisted spilling something awful on her head.
However...
I DID put the platters of green uglies in front of her and I hid the chocolate.
Cowboy invited one of his subordinates... a female who has an obvious crush on the giant squid and rarely takes her eyes off of him. I seated her between two grizzly bear-sized marines. They called her "ma'am" all evening. This did not make her happy but I got a couple of good chuckles out of it.
Unfortunately, I also got a few swats when we were alone.
Tsk. See how he repays my kindness? Just for that, I'm making PLUM cobbler.
Moving along... there was a segment on one of the local news channels. It showed an adult male chimpanzee offering a whole papaya to a cute female chimp. He even breaks it up into chunks for her to eat. Then... after she eats it, he tries to mount her. Tsk, bribing the sweet innocent for sex!
Just like a man... bringing gifts in exchange for hanky panky.
SWAT!
"Do I bring gifts just for sex?" the man I live with asked.
"No. You don't always bring gifts..."
SWAT!
Tsk. The man needs to bring MORE gifts.

The Sky is Falling!
No ice cream! No hidden chocolate stashes! NO Twinkies! No Mac & Cheese! Both my freezers and my double-wide refrigerator were empty when we got home from our trip. The pantry had little to offer - even the emergency food supplies were gone. I raised an eyebrow in Bull's direction and the behemoth said:
"I was hungry."
Welllllll.... duh!
and...
"Are you gonna be cookin somethin soon?"
Smiling... clenching my fists... grinding my teeth... then I remembered I love the giant hayseed.
Cowboy ordered pizzas for supper and the next morning, he went out and brought home "breakfast food." Spent half a day food shopping and ordered a cow. Usually I order half a cow; decided I needed a whole one as long as Bull is with us.
"We're gonna eat Bessie?" Bull teased when the meat order came in later.
"I don't need to know his name."
"You mean *her* name, Sar. Cows are female."
Good God! Could have gone on with life without being reminded of that little detail.
"Goin to do a little shopping myself," Bull stated. "Hungry and there's nothing to eat in the house and it'll be a while before you get anything good on the table."
Smiling... clenching my fists... grinding my teeth... remembering I love this hayseed a lot even though he ate EVERYTHING in my house. Counted the animals to make sure they were all accounted for.
So... while I caught up on the laundry, straightened the house, and caught up with the pups, Bull went shopping.
He came home with frozen ready-to-eat meals that he nuked and ate... and told me he bought me some treats:
Double stuffed Oreos! Regular, chocolate creme, peanut
Butter and Oreo Cakesters - 2 packages each. So I unpack the grocery bags - a package of Cakesters, 1 package of peanut butter Oreos.
"Where's the rest?"
"I ate them on the way home."
Ask a stupid question; get a stupid answer.
Currently, Manhattan clam chowder and Minestrone are cooking, will make other soups another time. Pot roast and a brisket in one oven, two apple cakes in the other. Will bake pies and cobbler tonight. In no time I'll restock the freezers, etc. Cowboy replenished the emergency food supplies. I think the food bill was as much as our roundtrip airfare on our recent trip.
David is still in the Solomon Islands assisting with their tsunami recovery from last May. He asked us to peek in on his house in the San Juans - his housekeeper will be away for a week or so. We may go out there and stay for a few days. Cowboy can go to work from there and I'll have the house to myself... the pups and I are certain to find something to keep us busy... David's housekeeper says the tortoise is on a vegetable kick. Ick! I have to reintroduce the beast to Twinkies.
A cute survey showed up on a couple of blogs I read - PK, Cassie and others. My answers:
1. What was the first blog that you regularly read?
-Found Creative Spanked Wife first. Also The Collar Purple. What an eye opener!
2. Do you remember the first" blogger" that you had an E-Mail Relationship with?
-Don't have an email relationship with other bloggers but regularly correspond with a few readers.
3. Why did you create your blog?
-It started because quite a few readers of my story website frequently wrote asking questions about my life with Cowboy. Also several email buddies would say "that's a snippet" when I related something to them. Some of those "snippets" weren't really an entire story but interesting enough to use in a blog.
4. When was your first post, and who was your first commenter?
-9/28/05 - first comments came from Terri, Paul, Spoze and BJ
5. Are there blogs that you absolutely have to visit daily?
-Yes, when I have time, and they're listed in my links.
6. Is your Blog categorized?..(I.E. Comedy, Literary, Personal Angst, Etc.)
-Officially, it's an *adult* blog and deals with life in general which includes spanking and sex.
7. Do you see an end to your blogging some day?
-Probably but as long as folks comment and/or email me, I'll continue to blog.
8. What are you wearing right this very minute?
- Wellll since Cassie has my black corset and red fishnet stockings... or was it red corset and black fishnet stockings... and PK has my spare outfit... I'm stuck wearing one of Cowboy's T-shirts and jeans. I'd take off the jeans but Bull is in the house. Tsk.
Cowboy called to see if I had eaten anything today.
"Uh huh."
"Was it real food or junk food?"
Rollin m'eyes.
"I'll have you know I ate scrambled eggs and toast and even drank a can of V8!"
"V8?" You feel okay, bambina?"
Not really. That stuff is vile.
"Of course I'm okay. Bring home Chinese for supper, please."
"You been cooking all day?"
"Uh huh."
"Peach cobbler?"
The man has a 1-track mind. Well, 2-tracks: spanking and peach cobbler.
Make that 3-tracks: spanking, sex and peach cobbler.
Going to send Bull on errands, make some peach cobbler and put on my "spank me sweetly" t-shirt.

David's housekeeper says the tortoise is on a vegetable kick. Ick! I have to reintroduce the beast to Twinkies.
A cute survey showed up on a couple of blogs I read - PK, Cassie and others. My answers:
1. What was the first blog that you regularly read?
-Found Creative Spanked Wife first. Also The Collar Purple. What an eye opener!
2. Do you remember the first" blogger" that you had an E-Mail Relationship with?
-Don't have an email relationship with other bloggers but regularly correspond with a few readers.
3. Why did you create your blog?
-It started because quite a few readers of my story website frequently wrote asking questions about my life with Cowboy. Also several email buddies would say "that's a snippet" when I related something to them. Some of those "snippets" weren't really an entire story but interesting enough to use in a blog.
4. When was your first post, and who was your first commenter?
-9/28/05 - first comments came from Terri, Paul, Spoze and BJ
5. Are there blogs that you absolutely have to visit daily?
-Yes, when I have time, and they're listed in my links.
6. Is your Blog categorized?..(I.E. Comedy, Literary, Personal Angst, Etc.)
-Officially, it's an *adult* blog and deals with life in general which includes spanking and sex.
7. Do you see an end to your blogging some day?
-Probably but as long as folks comment and/or email me, I'll continue to blog.
8. What are you wearing right this very minute?
- Wellll since Cassie has my black corset and red fishnet stockings... or was it red corset and black fishnet stockings... and PK has my spare outfit... I'm stuck wearing one of Cowboy's T-shirts and jeans. I'd take off the jeans but Bull is in the house. Tsk.
Cowboy called to see if I had eaten anything today.
"Uh huh."
"Was it real food or junk food?"
Rollin m'eyes.
"I'll have you know I ate scrambled eggs and toast and even drank a can of V8!"
"V8?" You feel okay, bambina?"
Not really. That stuff is vile.
"Of course I'm okay. Bring home Chinese for supper, please."
"You been cooking all day?"
"Uh huh."
"Peach cobbler?"
The man has a 1-track mind. Well, 2-tracks: spanking and peach cobbler.
Make that 3-tracks: spanking, sex and peach cobbler.
Going to send Bull on errands, make some peach cobbler and put on my "spank me sweetly" t-shirt.

Almost Home
We're in Hawaii, our last stop before heading home. Cowboy and I have enjoyed every minute of our time alone but I'm looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. He spent an entire year planning this trip - celebrating our 25th anniversary and my birthday. I think he also spent the entire year "resting up" for our celebration.
SWAT!
Laughing softly... but I assure you, it was worth it.
Before he decides to spill any beans... I want you to know I was perfectly well mannered and an angel the whole time we've been away. It almost killed me!
I see he did mention one or two incidents of nudity. Welllll, what's a little nudity on holiday? There was a full moon + a beautiful beach + a little wine. He had to know I couldn't resist. And he wasn't exactly immune either - he took pictures to bribe me with later.
Ohhhhhh puleeeeeeze. That's not going to work but the pics I took of him... I'll bet that will work very well for anything I might need ammunition for. I wonder how much The Navy Times would pay for those pics... hmmm
SWAT!
The burning question... were there any spankings while on vacation? What do YOU think?
Tsk.
Called home regularly. Had Bull put me on speakerphone so the pups could hear my voice. Both whined something awful each time I called. Not sure if it's because they miss me or the fact that Bull didn't share any wine or beer with them. He said I needed to get home soon - not much in the way of food left. The behemoth ate EVERYTHING in both freezers and the only thing left in the pantry is flour and sugar and a few other baking supplies. I hope he didn't eat any of the dog food...
Picked up a New York Times newspaper here - galoshes are the newest fashion trend. They showed pictures of them in all colors and plaids and polka dots and stripes and even op art. It rains where we live... I might have to get a chartreuse pair.
"Get red ones, bambina," the giant squid chuckled. "Then when you're out in the rain where you're NOT SUPPOSED TO BE, I'll match the color of your tush to the galoshes."
Rethinking this purchase...
There was an article about how to improve our lives... 101 things to do before you're 40. Oops. Maybe before I'm 50.
And... 1001 books everyone should read before they die. I was exhausted just reading the list - gave up after 200.
Good news category: I have gained six pounds! I know that makes a few of you roll your eyes but for me, it's really a big deal. I have a super high metabolic rate and am on maximum thyroid dosage to control it but I still burn calories like crazy. I mentioned that spanking burns a lot of calories... and maybe it's something that should only be done sweetly and gently...
Did you hear him laugh? Most of Polynesia did. Tsk and double tsk.
More good news: Was able to acquire a LOT of really fine chocolate. Filled Cowboy's duffel with most of it. I told him we needed to purchase another bag for our things because we ran out of room for everything. He told me to eat some chocolate... LOL! I ended up shipping it home, the chocolate - not our clothes.
...And last, it's September, the countdown to the holiday season begins. In just a few weeks the leaves will put on a spectacular show in our backyard and everywhere else leaves turn. The pups and I will roll in the piles someone will rake. I'll try out my new recipes - mostly pies and tarts for this year's festivities.
The first holiday is just around the corner - Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The food for that holiday will be extra spectacular this year. I've made a list of who is invited and most will be the fine young men from Bull's Marine unit as well as a few Navy SEALS Cowboy wants to include. I'll have to make a lot of food to feed that crowd and I'm really looking forward to it.
Okay, just a couple more days to enjoy the beach and then back to home base. Will post another update after we get back.
