Party at Cassie's

Hey everybody! PK here! I broke into Cassie’s place to get ready for the party. Please feel free to come and go as we get all set up. I have been looking around – this is one beautiful house!! Leave the food in the kitchen or on the dinning room table. Paul come on in and find you a good chair. Don’t worry we will give you some breaks, maybe!

Everyone have a good time, I’ll see you later!

67 + 37 = 104! Oh my!

I have been having a good time this past week! We are getting ready for a trip! My birthday and our anniversary are this month. And Tom is taking me on a trip! How different this is from last year! For long time readers you might remember that I was getting ready to tell Tom that I had been blogging for quite a while. I knew he was going to be upset and I was RIGHT!! It was a tense, tough time for me. But my Tom, my wonderful Tom finally listened to me. I might have been sitting sensitive for a day or two but it could not have turned out better in the long run! I do love this man!!!

I have been hinting, asking, begging for a certain birthday gift. Tom always says ‘NO’. He says I don’t need it and he doesn’t want me to have it. I haven’t given up hope. He has been known to surprise me!

Most of you are much younger than I am and I am so grateful that you have accepted me as one of you and let me come out here and play. What a wide circle of diverse friends I have made here. My blogger friends are so dear to me, Mthc and David and PK have also email often lately to keep my spirits up and they really have done so. They laugh at me kindly about my mothering ways but they see that I need to mother a bit. There is something else I found out here, something I never thought I would have. How many people get a big brother when they are in their 60’s? Paul is the closes to me in age. He has been so kind and supportive since the first word I wrote. He never hesitated to side with Tom, NEVER! LOL! But he and Tom are very much alike that I cherish his comments both as what dear Paul thinks and because it is as the closestest to what Tom might say. This family out here is very dear to me!

We will be gone for at least 2 weeks, possible longer but I WILL check in whenever I can. We often stay somewhere where I can at least check my email and sometime sneak and look at a blog or two if Tom is not paying attention! So I will not be disappearing this year! We will probably be leaving Thursday or Friday.

I will be 67 on Saturday. Sixty-seven! How in the world did that happen? Now that age is all well and good, but this birthday spanking is nothing to sneeze at! Not to mention 37 more for our anniversary later in the week!! If nothing else I want to show all you children that love does not diminish with age. We love each other so much more now that we did the day we were married. I know Tom is old fashion and some of you probably think he is too controlling but he is everything I have ever wanted. I did not realize when we married that spanking would be so prevalent I our marriage but by far most of them are loving and caring and exactly what I need. I am the luckiest lady you will ever meet!

Blogging Meme

I just loved this meme from PK and others. I would love to hear everyone's answers.



1. What was the first blog that you regularly read?



Like so many of you I found Bonnie first. You cannot imagine how excited I was. I had only had a computer a few weeks and I barely knew how to email. But when I stumbled across Bonnie’s site I felt I had found a home.



2. Do you remember the first" blogger" that you had an E-Mail Relationship with?


I emailed Bonnie not long after I started reading. I wasn’t even sure she was a real person. She was so kind and gracious. But after Bonnie posted my first story Tiggr was the first other than Bonnie that I talked to. She and Bonnie were both so kind and encouarging. Tiggr and I continues to email regularly until she stopped blogging.



3. Why did you create your blog?



After reading some of the wonderful stories out here I was dying to tell some of mine. They were real yet I had no one to tell them too. I wasn’t looking to start a blog. I was just thrilled that Bonnie was willing to let me share a story or two on her site. Actually I was really satisified that Bonnie was willing to read a story from a stranger who had never written a word in her life.

Now once Tiggr did get me set up with my site I loved it! I know many of you say you just blog for your own pleasure but quite frankly I blog for the comments, the contacts. The friends and family I have made here are as special and dear to me as any I have made anywhere.



4. When was your first post, and who was your first commenter?


I guess I have 2 first posts. Bonnie posted my first story on MBS on June 7, 2006. There were 6 comments, Caia, Padme, Damnation’ Celler, Tiggr and my brother Paul!

When I first wrote on my own site it was June 25. The fine people who came by then were Tiggr, Bonnie, Tom (not my Tom!), Jeanmarie, Jemima and Copper.



5. Are there blogs that you absolutely have to visit daily?



Oh yes, ten or fifteen at least. Sometimes my time is short so I don’t comment as much as I would like to. But I do my reading!!



6. Is your Blog categorized?..(I.E. Comedy, Literary, Personal Angst, Etc.)



I guess it’s a lot about spanking and sex but I am mostly just talking about my life and some of my stories from the past.



7. Do you see an end to your blogging some day?



Only if I have to. Even if I don’t post as much as I used to I do love it! Who knows how long I can keep it up. But if you guys will come by and speak to me I will keep on blogging!



8. What are you wearing right this very minute?

I have no idea why you would want to know but I have on the black corset with red lace and fishnets that PK was looking for the other night!

Keeping cool

I have finally found a way to keep cool, and have a bit of fun in the process! Last Friday afternoon I realized that I had not paid Ryan. I figured he could use the money for the weekend. Ryan only lives a few doors away so I stuck my head in Tom office and told him where I was going.

Ryan’s mom asked me in for ice tea and we headed to the kitchen. And there it was! I had seen pictures of them before, I had seen them on TV but I hadn’t actually seen one use in person before. Ryan’s two younger sisters were playing on a slippy-slide! I don’t know if everyone knows what this is but it is a long pieces of plastic with water squirting on it. The children would run and fall on their stomachs and slide the length of the thing. I was absolute fascinated watching these little girls.

We walked out on the deck so I could get a better look. It looked like so much fun!! The girls told me to come on out and stand on it and they would hold my hand. I thought what the heck and kicked off my sandals. Well you can imagine how long I stayed on my feet! It felt wonderful! The girls were wonderful teachers and I am not sure who laughed more, me, them or Ryan’s mom. Mostly I sat and let the girls push me as I sat but I tried a couple of running goes myself!

I am not quite sure how long we played when I looked up to see Tom on their deck. The first thing he said was “I thought you had run away from home and now I see I was right.” Okay I might have looked a bit disheveled. He turned to Ryan’s mom and said “I appreciate you letting my little girl come over to play but I think I had better take her home now.” If he hadn’t made that crack I would probably have just thanked the girls and come home but as it was I felt a strong urge to give Tom a big hug. As I soaked his shirt front with this soppy hug he grudgingly hugged back but also gave my bottom a smack in front of everyone. Well I think between Tom and me we gave Ryan’s sisters something to talk about for days!

When we got home Tom headed upstairs and I followed like a lamb to slaughter not knowing he was really annoyed about something else. I was laughing and teasing as I was getting my wet clothes off. He waited until I was completely undressed to suddenly pull me across his lap! He started spanking none too gently as I protested loudly! I was yelling “What is wrong with you?! Are you mad I played with the girls?”’

Tom didn’t say anything until he had my bottom ablaze! He then stopped and asked “Do I have you attention now?” I barely kept myself from yelling ‘Hell yes’. But I figured that would not help my position any! Do any of your men ever feel the need to punctuate each word of the lecture with a hard spank?

“If – you – ever – leave – this – house – with –out – your – cell – phone – again – I – am – going – to – take – the – hairbrush – to – your – bottom– and – wear – you – out!

Good grief! “Tom” I gasped “This is ridiculous! I was 3 doors down and I told you exactly where I was going!” Note to self: Wait until he lets you up before you tell him his spanking is ridiculous!

“I don’t care it you are in our back yard! You keep that phone with you. I am tired of calling to see where you have disappeared to only to hear the phone ring on the counter with you no where around!” Each of these was words I was ignoring came with a spank too. So I finally had the good sense to shut up.

I was mad. This wasn’t fair since I had told him where I was going. Okay I was gone longer that I expected to be, maybe a lot longer, but really I couldn’t have been in a safer place. But what was making me even madder is the fact that my body always responds to Tom’s touch even when I am mad! Once he switched to rubbing I knew I was a goner. It didn’t take much to help me decide to put off my pouting and counter arguments until later.

Oh that man knows how to make love! Under his touch nearly every part of me was burning one way or another. Once we were spent and cuddled together I had to laugh as I got a mental image of how much fun that would have been had we been on a slippy-slide and how very cool it would have been on my behind!

I don’t know why he is getting so wound up about the phone suddenly. He doesn’t seem to mind where I go or how long I stay as long has I tell him where and he can get hold of me. But I am still annoyed he spanked me for it. His golf buddies have been gone all week – just wait until they get back this weekend. We’ll see how well he golf’s with his phone ringing every 10 minutes!

Sounds right to me

I took Sage Vivant's Erotic Personality Quiz and discovered I'm a Romantic!

What is your Erotic Personality? Find out now.

I do think this fits me to a tee. My romantic hero did both save me and swept me off my feet! Every time I look at him I still cannot believe this beautiful man belongs to me. I don't know how I got so lucky. But I do thank God that I did!!

It's too hot!

Oh my goodness it is hot! It was bad enough before Sar’s Cowboy began writing about the weather on their wonderful vacation, now I want to travel somewhere COOL! I won’t let Tom run in the mornings. I would just as soon him stay in bed with me anyway!

I am so hot I can’t even think of any mischief to get into! And for me that is saying something. We have talked about getting a pool but for the most part I think it would be too much trouble. After a few weeks of this I am about to change my mind.

We have begun the marriage classes at church and I like it very much. I will tell you more about them as we get more into it. They have called from school to see if I want to work as a sub or as a volunteer this year. As much as I love it I just can’t see working when I want to be with Tom. Tom has been approached about taking on another project and I guess you all know how I feel about that. But I am not going to get all upset now. I suppose if he takes it I could become a volunteer then. He has not seemed as interested in this project as he has for some others so I am just going to wait and see!

Sorry for no real excitement here. Let’s all hope for a break in the weather!

FYI

I know many of you have become fans of Mthc and David (famous for his boat paddle) from the wonderful stories they wrote for Tiggr over at A Spanking Good Time. I just wanted to let you know David is having some medical problems. His kidneys are giving him some serious problems. Now I know we all want him well and swinging that paddle again so let’s send positive energy and prayer just like we have done for so many others. With all the good will we have here in blogland we will have David back on his feet and swinging that paddle to keep Mthc on hers too!

The rest of the story

Now folks before I tell you the rest of the story I want to make sure any new comers know about one thing. I may act like I don’t have any sense but I do. I rarely get spanked when I don’t want to. Most of my spankings are for annoying Tom, maybe I should call it bratting but I never used to think of it that way. But I always know when I am teasing or baiting him. It’s our foreplay. I can only think of a few time this past year when he was really, really upset with me: when I got the speeding ticket (and didn’t tell him about it right away), when I went toy shopping and lied to him about it, when he found out I had been blogging of course and something dumb that happened this past winter. So although he spanks a lot many, many of them I have basically asked for in one way or another. And truly when I ask in my own special ‘bratting’ way he rarely disappoints!

Sue and I were headed back at top speed and as the dock came in site I wasn’t too surprised to see Tom and Steve standing there. I slowed the boat to come in at a safe responsible speed. I threw Tom the rope and all was silent as he secured the boat and the guys helped us out. The silence was getting pretty loud so Sue said “We got your wine honey”. I chimed in with “We’ll take it up and start it chilling.”

Tom said “You’ll stay right here.” Sue gave me a look that was supposed to be supportive but she followed Steve up to the house. Tom was acting a little funny. He was leaning back against one of the support posts with his arms folded, just looking at me. He almost seemed to have a smile on his face. He said “Cassie can you tell me what you did wrong tonight?” I decided to be completely honest and answered him “We didn’t get back before you noticed the boat was missing?” Okay probably not the answer he was looking for but I was honest!

He just shook his head at me and reached to undo his belt. Now you have to understand what this does to me. Most of the time I really don’t think of myself as a submissive. I have an old fashion husband and we have an old fashion marriage. I mostly do what ever I want and if he doesn’t like it I often get my bottom warmed. But when I watch him remove his belt something happens to me. I think it is what some of you have talked about going into sub mode. My knees get weak, I have a hard time breathing and I absolutely ache with desire. Tom knows this and can sometimes take full advantage of it!

So as I watched him slowly (it seemed to me) remove his belt as I was standing on the floating dock I felt very unsteady. I didn’t move or say a word. Tom folded the belt in his hand and came to me. His free hand went to the back of my neck and he pulled me to him and kissed me. Now Tom and I kiss a lot but let me tell you this was some kiss! I felt a tingle clear to my toes and several other interesting places along the way! I still never said a word as he led me to one of the heavier chairs and bent me over the back. I gripped the arms tightly as Tom lowered my shorts and panties.

The first crack of the belt brought me back somewhat to reality. We were in the deep shadows and with the house closed for the A/C I did not fear any of out guest hearing or seeing anything but it flashed through my mind on this still night how far the sound might carry across the water and I did wonder if anyone was out there to hear. By the fourth or fifth stroke I wasn’t really thinking about anything but his belt! Now you all know my feelings about the ivory hairbrush. It is evil and should be destroyed! But the belt, now that is different. It has the duel quality of bring such sweet pain and pleasure together, it is a lovely implement. I wasn’t counting but I probably got no more than a dozen strokes. They were slow, yet powerful. He didn’t lecture at all and when he stopped and rubbed my bottom and between my legs I think I could have stayed right there all night.

Tom got my clothing arranged appropriately to return to our guests and I asked him to please make love to me right then. He said “Not now Cassie, you have kept our guests waiting long enough.” Shoot I figured our guest were old enough to take care of themselves, I wanted Tom to take care of me! But he took my hand and led me toward the house. I could barely walk and I don’t mean just from the spanking! But yes my bottom was throbbing too! The belt is always something that I feel for several days.

Back at the house I tried to make small talk but I was somewhat preoccupied. At Sue’s questioning look, I gave her a smile that could have meant many things. Tom and I decided to retire early. Living alone we have never have to worry about making noise when we make love but with fairly thin walls at this house it was a consideration. Actually it only added to our evening. Somehow having to make love in total silence made me feel like we were sneaking around and truly it was one of the most passionate, sensuous evenings we have had in a long time.

We were spent, satisfied and curled up ready for sleep before we hear Sue and Steve come to their room and evidently with only us at this end of the house with them the idea of noise was not a problem for Steve. I don’t think I had ever heard anyone else get spanked before! I sat up to listen and poked Tom, I was whispering “Listen, listen” but Tom pulled me back down and told me to hush it was none of my business! But it was so strange! I was embarrassed! I buried my face in the pillow to drown out my giggles. Tom popped my very sore derrière and told me to be still! But I have to tell you it was one of the funniest things I have ever heard!

The next morning was kind of rushed with everyone getting packed and many headed to the airport. So there was no more time for deep discussions. Anne did remark in front of Sue and Steve that Sue has been in a better than normal mood all week and wanted to know what Steve was doing to keep her so happy. It was a rhetorical question and Steve just smiled. Sue and I did not even glance at one another because we could not have held it together. But as they were leaving she hugged me good-by and whispered in my ear “I guess there is no fool like an old fool!” I think the girl is happy and I am happy for her.

Visit

I am sorry to have been gone so long! I thought everyone would be staying here but we were offered a house on the river and we moved the visit down there. It has been a wonderful visit!! We have spent most of it on the water. I haven’t water skied in the last two summers but I have not lost my touch! I can even slalom, it’s not pretty but I can do it!

I was an absolute angel, most of the time! One reason is that there was very little privacy! I know that whenever Tom feels the need to spank, what might be heard through the walls has never stopped him, so I behaved and gave him no reason. I was really too good, I am boring myself and probably Tom too! At least until the last night!

We all did have a wonderful time so much talking all of us together and of course the men and women split up part of the time to talk privately on our own. Sue most definitely did not want to discuss anything about spanking around the other girls and I didn’t push her. Truly until I started writing out here I would have died if anyone (other than these women) had known. And until very recently we only discussed it occasionally over the years.

But with so much going on and all the people there it seemed that we never had a minute alone. But the last night there we were going to grill out. Sue noticed we were out of her husband’s favorite wine so she told the boys we were going to run out and get some. As usual Tom looks right at me and said “Be careful!” When am I not?

As we headed to the door Sue whispered “Get the boat key.” We had been pestering the guys to let us take the boat out every night and they never would let us go alone. But we had told them we were going to the store and we hadn’t said we were taking the car and they hadn’t said we couldn’t take the boat at that moment… so off we went!

Okay it was not the wisest choice, not for the reasons you are thinking. It was loud and we still couldn’t talk so when we got to the marina and got the wine we decided to sit in the bar and visit for a while (only because it was cool, we had nothing alcoholic!) Sue was the one who had wanted to talk but she couldn’t seem to get started. So I did. “You have not joked any about spanking this trip. Something tells me Steve has found the ‘other side of the paddle’ lately. Am I right?”

She was quiet for a while but then she smiled a little. She said “We are getting along better than we have in years. Steve did talk to Tom.” It seems that Steve was fed up with one thing Sue does and evidently Tom finally talked him into doing something about it. I love Sue but in all honesty she can be a hateful bitch when she puts her mind to it. The way she talks to Steve sometimes is just unbelievable. She says she hates doing it but that she just can’t control her temper.

At Tom suggestion Steve waited until a calm time and told her it had to stop and that he was going to spank her for real if it kept happening and the really strange thing is that Sue agreed. She said just that conversation helped her keep her tongue. I was really fascinated! She says she has only had three real blow-ups since he started all this – that was almost 6 months ago! She says that when she does blow up he doesn’t say a word, he just lets her explode. She says that by the time she has calmed back down her guilt is making her feel rotten. In the past he would get angry and hatful back at her and stay mad for quite a while. Now she says he just stays calm and says “We’ll take care of this later.” I love it, I just love it! Honestly there is no one I know who deservers to be spanked more than Sue when she gets hateful.

But she had a question for me. She started “Alright what I need to know is, when you have screw up and he is going to spank you and you really don’t want him to how do you get him to change his mind?” I couldn’t stop laughing. Honestly if there is one thing I do not know is how to talk Tom out of a spanking!! I told Sue “Sorry honey that is one thing I can’t help you with, but if you ever find out please, please let me know!”

We were having a ball when I finally thought to check the time. Good lord! We had been gone nearly an hour and a half on a trip that should have taken 45 minutes by car an less than 30 minutes by boat! Of course neither of us had brought our cell phones. We scramble to the boat and gunned the motor toward home!

More later…

Still here

I am back! We had a wonderful week and I have lots to tell you but I am still the slowest typist in the world! I wanted everyone to know I am still around! I am not going anywhere. And even though I missed you all my last week was a fantastic!!

I am so very happy to hear that Eva came through her surgery so well. I would like to think that the prayers offered out here are a true help to her. Don’t forget me I should have a post up very soon!
Cassie

Two worry warts!

Hello everyone. Sorry that I have been so quite lately we are getting ready for company. Both Sue and Anne and their husbands are coming next to spend next week with us. Now the other two couples may also be coming. I am so excited! I haven’t had that long talk with Sue and I am still curious about just what kind of spankings she may be getting these days! I will be sure to report.

As to the scooter, Tom regained his memory and the next time Ryan was coming he said “Now Cassie, I don’t want you back on that thing. You could have broken your neck!” Of course I said nothing, I mean after all he had not asked me a question. And he didn’t say I couldn’t ride it. He just told me what he wanted and I am always interested in what he wants. But we are all old enough to realize not everyone get what they want! I love riding the scooter! Before he left he said “Girl, you heard what I said.” What is he worried about my hearing is perfect!

So Tom heads off to golf and Ryan comes over – in his car. I met him in the yard just a fussin’! “Where is the scooter?” He looked a little embarrassed and said “Well I didn’t figure that Tom would want you riding it anymore and I was scared you would get hurt.” Just what I need, two worry warts! I told him “Tom and I have already discussed this (well we had!) and that was just one little accident. There is no reason I can’t keep on riding it.”

Ryan didn’t look convinced. After a minute he said “If I bring it back and let you ride it you are going to have to wear a helmet.” What!! That was Sparkles idea but at least she was just kidding! I don’t want to wear a helmet. I figured being sweet was the way to go here. I said “Honey I know you wear one but you are riding on the street and I will just be in my driveway. I won’t need one.”

“You may not” he agreed, “but you are going to have to wear one anyway.” I decided to try force and said a bit sharply “Ryan I am old enough to be your grandmother! Who are you to tell me what to do?!” He looked down at me and grinned and said “I’m the guy that owns the scooter.” I had to laugh, he reminded me so much of Tom. Well he wouldn’t go back and get it that day anyway and Tom was here today so I haven’t got to ride anymore – yet. Maybe it’s something Sue and I can do!

I won’t have much computer time with them here but I will check in now and then. Have a good week!

Home again

We had a wonderful trip! Oh my, I love my husband! I don’t care what might be wrong with me I know that Tom is the cure. No friends on this trip. It was just us, talking, laughing, and loving. We are good for each other and the only time I get down or get myself in trouble is when I forget that. I am the luckiest person in the world!

We got home Tuesday afternoon and I have been writing up another story. I hope to have it ready to post soon. Please check back! Love to all of you!

Cassie

Happy Birthday Mthc

Mthc you have been a real friend lately and I do thank you! I hope you have a wonderful birthday. And I hope David doesn’t get too tired!

I'm good

For my dear friends who have been by and emailed and checked on me I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Things from several aspect of my life conspired to come together at the same time to see how much they could get to me. I lost my focus for a minute but I can promise you I have it back. What is that focus? First, Tom and our relationship. Second, friends and family, being supportive and giving and accepting love from the people God has blessed me with. These wonderful people are not mine to own and control. We are friends and many have become family by choice and through love.

The following is a letter I sent my sweet Tiggr. I am posting it and her response with her permission –

I know we need to talk sweetie. You don’t know how sorry I am for the way I am acting it’s not right and I am trying to understand myself (as you are) and to understand where all these strong feelings have come from. I go through periods of feeling my life has been such a waste. I am aware of the underlying truth of my situation; I am a rich man’s pet. Not a very lofty goal for a life time but it’s true. I had begun to feel though that through the blog I could actually touch other people maybe not on the deepest level but it was something I knew – being happily married, spanking, and a good sex life – I suddenly could almost be an expert at something. I think I had forgotten that you are young, and so intelligent. You are still growing and developing and I think in my selfishness I wanted to hold you back and keep you in a small box that I could understand. I told you I always thought I would make a horrible mother. I think I have proven my point.

Yesterday was a turning point for me and as usual Tom was my savior. Many things both here and in real life came together in a short period of time and I was not handling any of it well. Tom has been working on a big project all week and has been gone during the day for several days. I found myself waiting for him to leave yesterday so I could just drink the day away. I am sorry and you have to know that this comes from demons within me and has nothing to do with you or anyone else. Evidently Tom felt something was wrong because he turned around and came home before I could even bestir myself to get out the bottle.

He made me talk about everything that has been bothering me. His original solution to our situation was predictable Tom. Get off and stay off the computer and blogs. But we kept talking and he realized that that was not the answer. He says it is plain to him that we have a special relationship and he think we have both benefited from our closeness. We talked all day. A much better plan than the one I had had for the day. LOL! He wanted me to email you and to ‘clear the air’ as he put it.

I don’t understand where you are or what is happening in your mind but that’s okay. If it feels right for you then that is all that is important. You have my full support and love as you continue on your journey. Please forgive me for my foolishness, my mind just grasps thing and moves on to new ideas more slowly than it used to. Again sweet girl, please for give me! I do want to me you mom if you will still have me!

Much, much love

Cassie/Mom

My sweet daughter answered right away –

Of COURSE you ARE still my mom, and you aren't lousy at it. Believe me, my birth mother was just as baffled and even less interested in grasping any of this then you!!!! Please don't feel guilty or bad about anything at all! You're still here for me and I will always be here for you... do me a favor though when you post to your blog and email me a copy of just email me so I can go by to read it???? I don't check the blogs nearly as often these days...

I am thrilled that although this was unpleasant for you, that it led to that chat with Tom... please, please thank him for me, OK? I mean it, complete with a big hug and peck on the cheek if he will tolerate it (you don't have to tell him it's from me).

Just let me know your comfort zone. I'm happy to share a lot or a little about this way of life I am following (and had committed to follow many years ago)... I don't want to overwhelm you or frighten you, not ever. I am just leading (finally!) or at least trying to lead a very moral, simple life with far fewer attachments and worldly "stuff." I'm not in a cult or anything of the sort (and yes, I'd know if I was)... this is very, very similar to Buddhism... and the teachings of Gandhi.

I love you very much and am ever so glad that you didn't take that drink!

Love you, Mom, always and forever,

I told you I was blessed. I have a fine daughter, a wonderful brother, Paul, who always has wise counsel and above all else I have my Tom who is so in tune to my feelings he is almost there before I know how very much I need him.

He is taking me on a quick trip but we should be home by the middle of next week. At that time I plan to hit the ground blogging! I hope my readers will forgive my silence and come back and enjoy with me.

Cassie

Good morning. Just a quick note to let you know I am around but not feeling like myself lately. I can’t quite put my finger on it. If I owe you an email it might be a few days. I am not sick, just …off a bit. I will be around.

Cassie

Is this the job for me?

I guess Tom and I are going to help out with the marriage classes being sponsored by our church. I am not one hundred percent in favor of this idea. Of course I know I have a wonderful marriage. I know that but the main reason for this is that Tom is such a wonderful man. I have no advice for young women trying to run a house hold, trying to combine children and a career.

But Tom wants to do it and … now you guy said I could brag here. When they gave a survey to church members between the ages of 18 and 35 the minister said that Tom and I were requested to participate more than any other couple and he said that every woman who turned one in had asked for us! I can’t pretend to say that that did not make my head swell but it has not eased my worry.

We shall see how it goes but if I get uncomfortable I may bail on them! I know we do have an old fashion marriage and I would not want anything else but I don’t want to appear ‘quaint’ or simply old fashion. I just don’t know about all this. Tom may just have to go without me.

Welcome!

Hello everyone and I mean everyone! Where is the world did all these people come from?? When the twins got together for their visit I intruded on them and asked them to do me a favor, two favors in fact. As a matter of fact Eva told me that the picture of them playing on the computer that graces both their sites was taken as they did these things for me. I am very honored! They fixed me up with a blogroll which I just love! I can see who has updated and easily get to my favorite sites. The second thing they did for me was to put a stat counter. This little thing has put me into total shock!!

I know some of the long standing well established sites like Bonnie, Tiggr and CeeCi have an enormous amount of hits daily. And I knew that I had more people coming by than I really knew about but to find out that I often have over 200 visitors just blew me away! Now some might laugh and think this number low but I am absolutely delighted!! Who are you?? I hear from 10 to 15 people on a regular basis.

But the others? I am so nosy. I feel like my site is just about my everyday life. I do have a fantastic husband but often it seems I am fussing about him. I guess what I want to say is that will so many wonderful sites out here I am honored when you come by. I have many fellow blogger that are close special friends but now I also have several friends that just email and we keep up that way. Tig recently made me aware that my email was not posted on my site and I think I have changed that. Check under my profile and see.

To those who comment regularly – thank you and bless your hearts. If you don’t comment usually I wish you would. I would be delighted to hear from any of you that honor me by choosing to spend some of your time here.

Love,

Cassie

It's that time again!

Oh my, it birthday time again!! And this is a special one indeed!

Happy Birthday Eva!!!

I hope this is a wonderful day for you! The joy you bring us here is indescribable. I love every word you write. You and your twin worked on my site and I will never forget how you wrote to Tom and encouraged others to. That I think is the reason he let me continue blogging out here with the rest of you. I will always be grateful for that gift of caring.

I did not think you were as old as your twin (always wondered about that) but PK assures me that yes you are the same age. As a matter of fact she indicated that you are older. In that case enjoy your 50’s. I know I did!!

Actually I didn’t believe your twin. But I thought you should know what she said in case you wanted to encourage Nick to allow her to enjoy some of the joy of a typical spanko birthday!

Eva I love you! You are one of the brightest spots out here!! I hope you upcoming year is wonderful!

Happy Birthday Carye

Carye I want to wish you a very happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful special day. I think you are the luckiest of women. Four beautiful children a loving husband and your whole life ahead of you!But I want to ask you to give me (well all of us) a gift. Please dear couldn’t you begin a blog of your own? I realize you do not have much spare time but if you did start one I would just love it! Please think about! Again, happy, happy birthday!!

Just visiting

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine has been perfect. I have been with Tom every bit of it. He didn’t even play golf Saturday. I do believe my working has caused him to miss me! I think this is the first time he has ever been home for a long period of time where I was gone for a big part of the day. I have truly loved being at the school but I am looking forward to summer as much as the twins are! Our last day is Thursday.

Tom and I have a trip planned for later in June and I don’t know how long we will be gone. But I am really looking forward to getting away together. I don’t know where all we might go but I am sure we will end up seeing Sue and the other some time. Although we have talked a bit I want to see if she lived up to her part of the bargain with the Wal-Mart toys. I never told her that Tom took me back for the same items, but I am sure Tom will bring it up! LOL!

Tom has been offered another job, me too. No it’s not a real job but it has me worried none the less. Our church wants to offer a series of marriage workshops for younger couples, newly married or young singles. They want Tom and me to participate with other couples who have been married 25 years or more. Tom is thinking about it but I am leery. Of course we would never share some of most valuable secrets because of the social stigma but I just don’t know. I don’t really like giving advice and truly what could I say is my secret to a successful marriage?? Marry someone as wonderful as Tom then spend the rest of your life doing what you think you can get away with and not get caught? I am not sure that is what the church has in mind. We will have to give this more thought.

Three People I Tag
I would like to know what Em, Reesa, and Paul would have to say.

I'm working on it!

You Are 92% Lady

No doubt about it, you are a lady with impeccable etiquette You know how to put others at ease, even if their manners aren't the greatest.

Are You A Lady?

Well I think this is pretty good! Of course if I showed it to Tom he would just wonder why I didn’t get 100 %! I saw this over at Em's site and I thought I would see how I would come out as a lady. I guess I am still working on it!!

I am in the dog house again! He said Monday when I went back to school that he didn’t want me getting out and playing on the play ground this week. You all know he is a worry wart! Well I didn’t Monday or Tuesday but today the kids kept begging me and I just love playing with them! So I played dodge ball. I am really good at it considering I am twice the target that the children are! The next class that came out wanted me to play kick ball and how could I turn them down?

When I got home old eagle eye spotted quite a bit of red dirt on my shoes and asked me point blank if I had been playing today. I had to tell him yes, just a little. He was more annoyed than he needed to be since there is absolutely nothing wrong with me! He said “If you can’t behave at school I suppose you know you are in trouble at home.” He took my hand and led me to the bedroom where he proceeded to use the school paddle in an effort to try to convince me of the error of my ways! I know he’s right; I was just being foolish! Tomorrow I'll take a change of shoes!

BRIEF break!

I only have 10 minutes for this and then I have to be off the compute until at least Monday. No I am not in trouble and there is absolutely nothing wrong with me and that is the truth. I have had a little trouble with the eye that I bumped and the doctor listened to Tom instead of me (as usual) and they decided I needed to rest my eye this weekend no reading or blogging or according to Tom even checking email so please know I am not ignoring you and I will be on by Monday. I am not fighting him; I’m being a good girl. Tom has promised to keep me entertained and that I can keep my eyes closed if I want to! I am holding him to that promise!!

Tiggs please be well! I am worried about you and I will check in as soon as I can. Please everyone have a wonderful weekend! I plan to!

Meme

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Grace, I wish you a happy, happy birthday. Getting to know you out here has been a wonderful experience! Your writing, that you often call simple and about nothing, fascinates me. You have the clearest head out here. You are a wonderful wife and mother and I thank you for sharing your life and family with us! I hope you birthday is wonderful!!

Real life blows in

I want to tell you all about getting home from the trip but real life jumped into the middle of thing and nearly blew us away! We lost several trees and had a bit of damage to the house and no power for a time. My school was closed yesterday and today because of some damage and loss of power. It has been hectic but it was also wonderful to be with Tom on the first few day of his not working.

Believe it or not after all my whining and complaining about Tom working I am going to work tomorrow and leaving him home!! I really can’t believe it myself. This was one decision that Tom left entirely up to me. He said he really wanted me home with him but that he thought the school had been good for me. I was planning to work just a few days a week but the teachers want me as much as I am willing to come so we shall see. I have never felt needed before, not by anyone other that Tom. It is a nice feeling. The teachers seem to think I am really helping and the children are so sweet to me.

Tom is driving me to school tomorrow. When he picks me up we have a special errand to run! I will be sure to tell you all about it!

Of course I follow my heart!

I will go along with the first line and the last line. That stuff in the middle I'm not so sure about. I have been hopelessly in love with the same man for a long, long time and I won't be changing my mind.

You Follow Your Heart

You're romantic, sentimental, and emotional. You tend to fall in (and out of) love very quickly. Some may call you fickle, but you can't help where your emotions take you. You've definitely broken a few hearts, but you're not a heartbreaker by nature. Your intentions are always good, even if they change with the wind

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

What a lovely couple.

I enjoy knowing what some of my friends out here look like. I understand that not everyone feels comfortable with this type of exposure but it helps me to picture who I am visiting with. So I was wondering if any of you would like a nice picture of Tom and me? Now don’t get excited for two reasons. One, we aren’t that good looking; and two, Tom letting me post a picture of the two of us is about as likely as me becoming a switch!

But I have posted a picture (now don’t scroll down until you do your reading). My niece showed me a picture she had come across on the internet one day. The picture is almost exactly like one taken of Tom and me a while back. It is my favorite picture of us and it sit on my night stand. No we are not young and beautiful, sorry. But in this picture the pose, the facial expressions, the age… it looks as though one picture was copied from the other! So I thought I would post this one to give you an image to think of when you drop by. Okay, if you are interested, scroll on down!

Of course this is Tyne Daly and Richard Crenna when they were in CBS’s Judging Amy; I believe this picture is from the TV Guide site. But don’t they seem like nice people?

Things are going fairly well here except for the fact that the internet has decided to only work occasionally and Tom has decided to work constantly. But after such a nice trip I am trying not to complain. But I hate spending so much time alone. Eventually it leads to me finding some way to get myself in trouble!

I Need Some Ideas

Although Tom worked some Saturday we had a very nice weekend. I woke up Saturday morning to those three little words I love to hear “Turn over Cassie”. So my day started out with a wonderful good girl and some even better loving. We spent the morning together puttering around the house. It just felt wonderful! He went in to the office though around one and I was on my own again. But I have been inspired by Theresa a while back and I am working on cleaning out closets. I did find some long forgotten lingerie that I spent a good deal of Sunday afternoon modeling for Tom.

Now I have another project in the works. The girls are getting together out west at the end of the month. I want to join them for a few days but I know Tom won’t be able to leave and I don’t know if I can convince him to let me fly there by myself. I am afraid I won’t be able to talk him into this. Long ago, before we were married, I flew any where in the world I felt like going but since Tom I have only flown once without him and that was flying to him not away. Any suggestions??

Now let me think.

Elis tagged me the other day to come up with five thing that you do not know about me, I decided to give this one a try. I can think of many things, and many you probably don’t need to know. But here I go:

We once attended a party where we were introduced to Prince Charles. Now while I am sure he is a fine man I would be bragging more if I had been to a party and been introduced to Paul, Mel or Sky!I once won $2,000 in one afternoon gambling. I decided not to tell Tom, I thought keeping a bit of mad money around was a good idea. I thought that until Tom found it and suddenly the money wasn’t the only thing that was mad!!

I did not graduate from college. I have always regretted this. I was very hesitant to start writing the blog because I was afraid of sounding uneducated among all you accomplished writers. Don’t tell me I can go back now – I’m not going to. That time has passed.

When Tom gets mad about something he calls me Cassie Jane, I’m not sure why it’s not my name but when he walks in and shouts “Cassie Jane” I know that I am probably not going to like the conversation or anything else that follows!

The day of my first husband’s funeral was interesting. It was one of the few times I ever remember my mother touching me. We had an argument and she slapped me. After that day I cut off contact with my parents. My father always though my first husband was a “Decent man who will take care of you”. My father always backed him even thought he knew that he beat me.

Happy Birthday CeeCi

CeeCi honey,
I wish you the happiest of birthdays! It was our dear Paul who directed me to your lovely garden. What a find! When I think of you and all we have learned from and about you the word class comes to mind. Your site is one I often read to Tom and I have him come to look at your pictures. He too has called you and your site classy. I haven’t commented as much as I should but I am a daily visitor!

For your birthday I wish you every desire in your heart. Your months of sobriety are the most wonderful gift you could give to yourself and those who love you. I have no doubt that Mojo is the answer to nearly everything else you need. And as I have told other children out here - enjoy yourself, but life doesn’t really get good until your sixties!!

Wonderful evening

I hope everyone enjoyed their New Years Eve! Our party was so much fun I indulged it too much of everything – too much to eat, too much to drink, too much dancing, just too much partying in general, but I loved every minute of it. Tom looked so dashing and handsome! I felt like the luckiest women in the world.

We have had such fun during the holiday season. I have even managed to stay out of any major trouble. Tom is probably getting bored with me; I may need to spice things up a bit. LOL! He doesn’t start the job until the middle of January. I wonder if I could be good enough or perhaps bad enough to talk him out of it. Oh I won’t, but a girl can dream can’t she?

See you next year!

We are throwing a big New Year’s Eve party! So I will be pretty busy until then. We have three couples staying here. Thanks goodness I have help with the party. So I will wish everyone a Happy New Year now!

Theresa caused me to think of an old story that I am trying to get written up. I like telling old stories better than current ones where I end in trouble. I like to think that I learn from past mistakes. It’s not true, but it’s what I like to think anyway! LOL! Check back after the first of the year. See you then.

Cassie

Happy Birthday Elis !

Happy Birthday Elis!! Now do you see why I was pestering you to teach me how to post a picture! I figured that I would keep this new found skill hidden until your birthday! I believe that you have had a lovely year so I imagine turning 50 will just be another wonderful day for you. While I am sure you and Nick are doing great, I have to tell you, all this spanking and sex stuff doesn’t really get good until your sixties!! Again have a happy, happy birthday!!

A Special Evening

We went to the Church play tonight and it was so cute! I love the children in our church! They are all so sweet to me. The older teens had the big parts, but all the children had parts, even the smallest. We sat up front so I could see everything.

One little lamb, about 2 years old, had the cutest little outfit. He had on a little white sweat suit, a hood with black ears and a small black tail. His little nose had been painted black too. This precious little fellow began crying quietly in all the commotion. I motioned for him to come to me and he came!

He crawled up in my lap and snuggled down as content as if he had always known me. He fell asleep in my arms and I am not sure that that has ever happened to me before. It was such a wonderful feeling I had tears in my eyes. I believe I could have sat contentedly with him all night. I hated to give him back to his mom. It wasn’t in the cards for me to be a mother. But tonight was very special to me.

Stolen Meme

I think I stole this from Elis who stole it from Theresa or something like that. Any way here goes --

What bad thing happened to you this week?

Tom played golf two afternoons and took my keys with him! I feel so trusted! Of course if he hadn’t I would have been out of here in a shot!

What good thing happened to you this week?

I got to do a bit more typing.

What did you have for breakfast?

French toast, strawberrys and coffee.

What is your favorite color?

I think blue, but sometimes I’m one of those pink girls.

What is your favorite fast food chain?

Tom doesn’t like fast food so we rarely go there together. When I can get away I like McDonald’s, Wendy, Bojangles and Arbys!

How much did your last fill up cost you?

The last time I filled up my own car gas was only 35 cent a gallon!

Do you have a job?

Not really, sometimes I am a substitute teacher, but mostly I am a kept woman!

If you had one wish in the whole world excluding winning the lottery what would it be?

That Tom and I die the same night right after we make love. In about 30 years! And I will take this wish over the lottery any day!

What time do you get up in the morning?

Usually around 8:00 am

What are your pet’s names?

Jeeter, Scooter, and Maco. Maco is the big sissy who runs when she first hears a spanking. Jeeter and Scooter run to watch.

Do they have nick names?

Not really.

How many times a week do you screw up word verification?

Every time I encounter one.

What is your favorite spanking position?

On the bed over Tom’s lap.

What is your favorite spanking implement?

Not the ivory hair brush (someday I am going to toss that thing!) I like the new leather paddle and the crop. Tom has never gone full force with the crop. Oh, strike all that, Tom’s hand is the best.

What is your favorite food?

I really like junk food. But chocolate is a pretty safe bet.

Coke or Pepsi?

Coke of course!

What is the best thing about blogging?

Of course the people!! Meeting people that I would have never met in real life, learning about things I would never have heard about anywhere else in the world. I have my very own friends now.

What color are your toenails?

Coral Peach

What is your favorite cocktail?

I usually stick to wine these days.

What is the worse part of your job?

I haven’t worked enough to have a worse part.

Have you implemented any new words into your vocabulary lately?

Oh my yes, blog, site, post, link. Tom is always trying to increase my vocabulary with word like ‘no’, ‘behave’, ‘listen’, ‘mind’ and on and on!

Tom Meets Sky

Every run by Sky's site to see what Tom had to say to her. It always surprises me when Tom wants to leave a comment!

Look! I linked to Sky's site and believe it or not, Elis taught me how to do it! Thanks Elis!

Thank You!

I want to thank everyone for coming by on delurking day. I so enjoyed reading all your comments and it was wonderful seeing such a mix of old friends and new ones. The doctor has no problem with me typing one handed or driving for that matter. But others don’t share his opinion. But I think Tom is going to lighten up a bit though.

This was a rough day when I did get to type and blogger kept eating my work and would not let me comment or post. With typing this slow it nearly drove me crazy! I am leaning to save my work. More soon, but thanks again for stopping by and please come back or email anytime.

Everyone is Welcomed!

To my silent friends, I wanted to join everyone today to invite you to please leave a comment to say hello. I am not supposed to be blogging yet. I know none of you will believe this but I had a passing thought of sneaking on here to blog this but I had a funny feeling that Tom might just check in to see that I was minding him. Although I don’t know why he wouldn’t trust me! I always do what he tells me to! So I got his permission for this only.

I was able to get his permission by explaining how important I thought this was. I would be thrilled to meet, through your comments, anyone who has ever come by my blog. I would love to read any comments you might leave, especially now that my time to type is very limited. Maybe you could keep me entertained for a bit. Please leave some name so that I might know you if you ever return. If you are not ready to leave a comment, email me. But please, it is safe. Just say Hello.

I am mending very nicely and as some of you have surmised being pampered to the hilt! But one hand, left handed typing is for the birds! This took forever. But if you comment or email I will respond, slowly, but I will.

Hope to hear from you,
Cassie
