It's nearly June, which means that the Spanking A to Z challenge is coming!

May has blown by.

Work is crazy. I have one writer who has taken vacation. Unfortunately, I had to fill in for her while trying to complete some software release work.

On a good note, the weekend is finally here! And, so is this year's June Challenge: Spanking A to Z. It's my second year participating in it.

I hope that you'll read my posts next month, or any month, really! Come join in on the fun if you'd like a fun writing challenge.

I'm off to bed now to get some sleep and prepare for fun writing challenges to come!

Fifty Shades Darker - spanking poster

I stumbled across a wonderful, creative poster by a fan for the upcoming Fifty Shades Darker movie that is expected to come out next year.

I love it! Of course, I would. That's really me across my guy's lap, getting a sound, bare-bottomed spanking.

Dress code offence and a spanking

This week, in London, Ontario, a high school student was sent home for not complying with her high school's dress code.

What did she wear that was offensive to the vice-president of the school who suspended her for a day? She was wearing ripped jeans and a tank top.

Part of me is saying that it could have been worse. She could have been wearing practically nothing. Then again, I don't know what the school uniform rules are. If they clearly indicate that your jeans cannot be ripped and you can't show your arms, then this student did indeed violate the rules.

However, it's at least 30°C and humid these days. I don't think that it was the tank top that was offensive.

My guy and I had a brief discussion over this article.

"If you showed up in ripped jeans and a tank top at my high school and if I were your vice-president, I would spank you," my guy said nonchalantly.
"If I followed the dress code, you would find other so-called offences that I have committed, which would be reason enough for you to spank me," I replied.
"True. Then again, I don't need a reason to spank you hard, do I?" he asked me.
"Not at all. I will always be your bad girl."

In reality, if I were a student in this scenario, my guy would want me in a blouse and a short skirt. The blouse would eventually come undone and my skirt would be hiked up for a sound spanking.

Can we chat?

My guy came back from a business trip on Saturday. I asked him whether he had a good trip to Mexico. Unfortunately, he was too busy working from his hotel to do anything fun.

He asked me whether we could chat soon. He's sweet. It looks like he is slowly coming out of his depression bout. It's a great sign.

He is working from home for the entire week. I am working from home twice this week, so we won't see each other till the weekend.

Why do weekends always take so long to get here? And, when you are finally there, why do weekends go by so quickly? The countdown begins!

Whiskers update

Over a month ago, I wrote about buying a hair removal system that slows down your hair growth to the point where the hair is permanently removed. This post is an update.

The idea is that you use this system every two weeks. You have to shave the areas where you have hair that you want to remove, and then you use the device to safely zap the area. This week will be my fourth application.

The verdict so far? It does work. You just need a lot of patience.

I have dark hair and a medium complexion. They are the perfect combination for this device.

I am also tall for a woman and have long legs. It takes a long time to thoroughly use the device to treat each leg. It takes me an hour to do both legs.

It has only been three treatments. Here are my results:

• A few hairs remain around my navel (yes, I did have a sort of hairy ring around my belly button)
• Roughly ten to twenty hairs under each armpit (I had moderate hair growth there, which is no longer the case)
• Practically no hair around my nipples (yay!)
• Small patches of stumble along my legs
• Some whiskers on my face, although the growth has slowed down
• Very few hairs on my forearms

I have yet to do my bikini area. I finally got around to lady-scaping it recently.

It's a good product. Most want results quickly. This device won't give fast results. If you're patient, you will see the results in phases. Patience, young grasshopper, as they say.

I'll keep you posted. I am pleased with not shaving as much. 

The unpleasant part about this exercise? I don't like shaving my face. I feel like a man. I get 5 o'clock shadow! My guy is happy that I get to experience what he does every day. However, he is jealous that it takes me a minute for me to shave my face!

Panties just for a spanking

One of the books that I have been reading lately has recommended that spankees own spanking panties. The author insists that women who are spankees should have a number of panties specifically for when they get spanked.

In my case, I do have panties that I like wearing for spankings. My panties have some sort of lace on them or are entirely made of lace. I like them to be sexy and somewhat cover most of my backside. I have never been a huge fan of thongs. Wearing them defeats the purpose of having my guy pull them down, because he doesn't need to do that if my buttocks are fully exposed.

Of course, there are days when he will give me an impromptu spanking, so he will spank me with whatever panties I am wearing.

Most of the time, my panties come down. Some practical folks would think that whatever panties you are wearing doesn't really matter. Really, why bother wearing special panties anyway?

For me, it's a part of the spanking ritual. It's fun. I also like bringing some eye candy for my guy. He enjoys seeing what panties I am wearing. It's a part of the undressing ritual that we both like.

I do not have panties with some sort of message written across the backside, though. I haven't found anything that I like. I would like one that tells him to spank me here or one with a bullseye. I just haven't found a pair that I like just yet.

Brief summary of The Spanking Hand Book and being a cheeky brat during a spanking

I have finished reading The Spanking Hand Book: The Authoritative Guide on Adult Discipline. I am trying not to sound like a book critic in the blog post, but I may add my two cents.

It was a pretty easy read. The book is a collection of spanking-related topics from various bloggers and authors. The topics vary, which I like, from historical facts and cultural spankings, to the best spanking positions to assume.

The only drawback? An editor should have reviewed all articles for grammatical and punctuation errors. Some articles were well-written. The horrible grammatical and punctuation issues in others made me cringe. Then again, I am a writer who tries her best not to make such errors. However, we are all human.

Erica Scott has a nice written piece, What Not to Say to Your Spanker! Of course, I like to tease my guy by making cheeky comments as I am over his knee for a spanking. I want him to spank me harder after saying them.

If he gives me a number of smacks on my panty-clad bottom and asks if I have learned my lesson, I may tell him, "Those smacks didn't hurt, so I must be a good girl." He will then challenge me by pulling down my panties, and spanking me both longer and harder across my bare bottom.

I like occasionally taking my free hand and playfully attempt to protect my backside from being spanked. My guy ends up either lightly smacking my hand away, or holding my hand down and spanking me harder.

It's fun to say these things to my guy. It makes the spanking enjoyable for both of us and it makes us laugh.

My new e-reader and relieving stress by reading The Spanking Hand Book

I have lots to write about. The problem? Work is crazy. To unwind, I have been reading more.

I came home on Thursday to a small parcel. My new Kobo Aura e-reader came in the mail. I love it. I am now the proud owner of both the Mini and Aura e-readers.

Within the next few post, I will write about some of the interesting tidbits of information that I have absorbed from reading The Spanking Hand Book, as mentioned in my last post. I read several pages yesterday at lunch. I was a good girl. I didn't masturbate in the lunchroom!

That's all for now. Here's to enjoying my new gadget!

Latest e-book reading from The Spanking Hand Book and the Spencer Spanking Plan

I am currently reading The Spanking Hand Book: The Authoritative Guide on Adult Discipline. I am throughly enjoying reading books on my small e-reader. It also helped that Kobo had a pretty good sale on e-books over this long weekend.

Anyway, I was reading up on the Spencer Spanking Plan, which is a contract originally created in 1936 by Dr. Dorothy Spencer for couples to sign. The following is an excerpt from the Erotic Story: The Spencer Spanking Plan:

Date _______ 19___ 

I, . ____________________ wife of ____________________ .
do hereby acknowledge that I have read the Spencer Spanking Plan and approve of the doctrines it advocates. From this date on it is my wish to have my conduct regulated by the enforcement of these doctrines. I give to my husband, therefore, the full right and permission to spank me whenever he feels such discipline would prove helpful and be in accordance with the spirit of the Spencer Plan.

This Agreement has been entered into willingly – and for no other purpose than to improve my disposition and secure the general benefit that always comes from the enforcement of intelligent discipline. I understand that I will be spanked without fail if I break my promise to refrain from: (List Causes which have been agreed upon.) I promise to cooperate with my husband faithfully. I will get ready for the punishment promptly when asked to do so and I will bear him absolutely no ill-will for so disciplining me. 

(Signed)
x _________________________________ (wife)
x _________________________________ (husband) 

II. For Her Husband
I, _________________________husband of ____________________________:
in accordance with her wishes, as expressed above, do hereby promise and agree to spank my wife when-ever I feel such discipline would prove helpful to her.

My guy and I don't have any sort of doctrine. We just have an agreed understanding that I am his bad girl who needs to be punished fairly often.

Victoria day, pubic trimming, and shaving stencils

It's a long weekend. It's Victoria Day as I write.

My guy has to work this holiday. He is currently in Mexico, staying there for a week. I miss him already.

I decided to trim my pubic area shortly after I wrote my post yesterday. As expected, I felt the same way after as I normally do when I get a haircut. I felt good, as if I had lost a ton of weight.

I'm actually not as hairy as I thought I was. I trimmed using a pair of scissors from my manicure set that I have never used. It's not a completely uniform job, but it's good for my first attempt. I suppose that I may need to invest in a trimmer. Ah, here's to more research!

As for going with a heart-shaped designed, I just learned that there are stencils. I may give it a shot once I get the hang of this trimming exercise.

Pubic hair - to trim or not to trim?

This post is different for me. So, bare with me.

I have never really trimmed my pubic area. I know for a fact that if I were to shave the entire area that I would have a ton of ingrown hairs. So, I have let the bush grow naturally.

My guy doesn't mind it at all. At first, he suggested trimming the area if I felt that the bushy area was getting long. However, he has always told me that he loves me the way that I am and the bushiness.

My guy, on the other hand, shaves his pubic hair. I appreciate that, especially when I give him a blowjob. He doesn't reciprocate and has never gone down on me. First, it doesn't do much for me. Second, it doesn't do much for him!

I am going to do something daring. I am going to try the trim method out by following these fine steps, just for a change. Apparently, I can get creative by trimming my pubic area such that it has a heart-shaped design. Perhaps I could do a smiley face with experience!

E-reader sale and wooden cheeseboards

I decided to leave work before 17:00 on Friday. I ended up having a nice dinner at my favourite deli. The server there is always nice and recognizes me as a regular. It feels like home.

After that, I visited Chapters, which primarily sells books, but also tea, home decorations, and stationery. The Kobo brand of e-readers are there. Oddly, I bought my Kobo Mini reader that I currently own from an online shopping network.

Anyway, I was looking at the newer, larger ones. The Kobo Aura is on sale. Part of me wants to get it, because I love a sale and I'm just a technology geek. I don't need one. It's definitely a want.

The sad thing was that I couldn't find anyone to help me get one in the store. I suppose that's why I tend to shop online for electronics. At least I got to try the one that I want. I can simply buy it online.

The crazy thing is that when I do buy almost anything online on Chapters's Web site using a Visa card, I get 20% off. I guess that the store want to discourage folks from talking to read people and buying merchandise in-store?

Chapters in an interesting place. The wooden cheeseboards remind me of decent spanking paddles. In Stockholm, there was a souvenir one. My guy playfully used it on me in the store.

I should ask for this wooden cheeseboard for my birthday. My guy would enjoy using it on me.

Spooning tends to lead to spanking and forking

I am a cuddler. Luckily, my guy loves to cuddle, too.

As of late, he likes to spoon me when we're in bed. I love when he holds me tight. I end up putting my hands on his. I also love how his hard his member gets against my backside.

My guy ends up playing with me. Ultimately, he meanders down to my backside and gropes it.

Spooning for us generally heads towards my reaching orgasm because he enjoys fondling and pleasuring me. Otherwise, he will spank me first.

At last, there's forking. It's all wonderful.

Kobo Mini e-reader and books on spanking

It took me a while to get on the e-reader bandwagon. I resisted for a long time, mainly because I like reading physical books. I like the feel of the pages between my fingers. I even like the smell of books.

As a little girl, I enjoyed hanging out at libraries and reading. Whether I was happy or sad, being in a library and having access to stories, facts, and knowledge made me feel safe and content.

A few years ago, I decided to get my first e-reader. I have a white Kobo Mini. It's a little larger than my Blackberry Passport. I love it.

Of course, I can also read books using the Kobo app on my various devices, but I like my e-reader. When I read from it, I am not distracted by e-mails or games. I want to read. Period. I don't need to do that with a smartphone.

It has been a while since I used my e-reader. I am charging it as I type. I bought a book tonight and am enjoying the read so far. 

The best part about e-books is that you can preview a chapter before you buy. Naturally, I have been checking out the spanking stories that are out there. I am reading through the preview chapter from Across My Knee. I'd like to be across my guy's knee right now. He is asleep, so this book will do for now.

Spanking - an Android game

I am a geeky girl. My guy calls me geeky gadget girl, among other fine nicknames. Personally, I like this one just as much as bad girl.

The other day, I came across an Android game called Spanking. Yep, it's exactly what you think. You can spank a naughty boy or girl right on your Android phone or tablet.

Courtesy: Androidgame365.com

Unfortunately, the graphics aren't stellar and the grammar is atrocious, at times. As an example, one screen states, "I tolerate you for a long time! I will spanking you!"

If my guy ever said that to me, I would burst out laughing, likely right to his face. Then again, if I did that, I would get quite a sound spanking session from him, which would be much better than the virtual version.

Grammatical mistakes in Fifty Shades of Grey and ways to fix them

I downloaded Fifty Shades of Grey, the movie, a week ago. My guy did something sweet. He bought me the Blu-Ray version of the movie, just in case I wear the digital version out in some way or it gets corrupted. 

It is good that I have decided to refrain from reading the trilogy. I have been advised by a number of folks that the grammatical errors would drive me insane. 

I write for a living. These days, my role at work has changed to being a technical editor, reviewing work by my fellow writing peers. I would not enjoy reading any of the Fifty Shades books with so many grammatical issues.

I found this link on the top 9 grammatical mistakes in Fifty Shades of Grey. The article also proposes how to fix them.

Wordiness, which often leads to awkward sentences, annoys me. I also don't like comma splices. Sure, avoiding passive voice is important. However, you can't avoid using it sometimes.

I am glad that my guy didn't buy me the book set. It would be uncomfortable to tell him to return them. He would likely spank me for rejecting his gift, but I would enjoy that more than reading the books!

Walking through the park and thinking of being spanked

The weather is gorgeous these days.

A month ago, I drove to Montreal and it felt like early spring. The following day, it snowed.

For the past couple of days, Toronto has bypassed spring and it feels like summer. It is so humid that my face is breaking out as if I were a teenager.

I really can't complain, though. I'd rather experience warm summer temperatures than snow.

My guy and I were talking about how great the weather has been. As Canadians, it seems to be the norm.

"It's a beautiful day," he commented. "I'm with a beautiful woman to enjoy the weather."
"You're sweet," I replied, holding his hand as we walked through a park.

My guy noticed the park bench.

"It would be great if I could put you across my knee sitting on that bench and spanking you."
"Would you spank my bare bottom with both the sun and your hand beating down on me?" I asked him.
"Of course."

I held his hand tighter. He then side-hugged me and discretely groped my right buttock as we continued to walk.

Sharky, butt watches, diets, and circles

I have talked about a project manager at work who likes me. My guy has nicknamed him Sharky, because he often circles around the cubicle that I choose to sit at when I'm in the office.

Roughly four years ago, I decided out of a whim on a cruise to change my diet. I know that it sounds peculiar. You have all the food you can possible eat on a ship and you're on vacation. You decide to cut out carbs and sugar right then and there?

Yes, I did. It was pretty simple. There were sugar-free desserts. I went for low-carb items, rather than cutting carbs out completely.

Two weeks later, I was down ten pounds. I proceeded to lose a total of sixty pounds and have kept them off ever since. No pills. No weirdness. The challenge is a daily one, to maintain the weight.

My guy always marvels at the fact that I like baked goods, such as chocolate croissants, but I still manage to maintain my weight. It helps to have such goodies from time to time. It's okay to indulge. More importantly, I exercise, and eat fresh food as often as I can.

Anyway, when I was about halfway through my goal weight, I had a pair of jeans on that were loose. I knew that I needed to buy a belt.

I had to visit the women's washroom at work. I got up and went through two sets of doors. Sharky was behind me.

There was a glass door in front of me. I had to walk towards it and then make a left to get to the women's washroom. I could see from the reflection that Sharky was looking at me. In fact, he was looking at my butt. It was a nice, quiet compliment.

I told my guy about that a while back. He told me that any man would want to stare at my backside. He is just the lucky one who gets to grope, smack, and pinch it.

My guy's right. He doesn't have a jealous bone in his body, which is nice. He freely admits that any guy would want to have me, including Sharky. However, my guy knows that my heart is with him and the reverse is true, too.

Sharky isn't a shy guy. He does seem shy around me, though.

Last Friday, he was standing behind me when we were both ordering lunch from downstairs. He didn't say a word to me. I did when I turned around after he had placed his order.

My guy and I think that Sharky is being respectful, knowing that we are a couple. It's nice that he finds me attractive, but it's also a bit creepy when he does his circling routine or can find me anywhere in the office.

As for my guy, he likes to sweetly tell me that I am his. I am. And, he's my guy.

Fifty Shades of Grey by the numbers

Yes, I am becoming a fan of the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Who knew? I have a guilty pleasure. Of course, it could be a lot worse.

I have a Pinterest account, but I rarely use it other than for saving recipes that I'd like to try. Well, I stumbled across this fine gem from MTV. It summarizes the movie by the numbers. I love numbers. I love this movie. It's perfect.

Coincidentally, the number of spanks is my favourite number. All is well in my little world.

Fifty Shades of Grey movie download - not being able to sit for a week

I ordered Fifty Shades of Grey from iTunes on Friday night and happily downloaded the movie. I then stayed up till 02:30 on Saturday morning watching the flick.

I love the movie. One of these days, I will go into why I do. I continue to refuse reading the trilogy.

When Ana wakes up in Christian's hotel room, they talk. He tells her that getting drunk isn't a good idea. She agrees.

 "If you were mine, you wouldn't be able to sit down for a week," Christian said, moments before he takes a bite of Ana's toast from her hand.

I love that line. My guy says something similar to me, except that I am his.

Now that April's blogging challenge has ended, I can't wait till June's spanking A to Z blogging challenge

I have just wrapped up my participation in April's A to Z blogging challenge. Now what?

Last year, I signed up for the June Challenge: Spanking A to Z. I saw this year's version posted on Spanking Romance's blog the other day. Without any hesitation, I signed up for it.

I am ranked as the thirteenth person to have signed up for the blogging challenge. I have never found the number unlucky. I just missed my favourite number, fourteen. Oh, well!

So, please join me for another month of my running through the alphabet and finding themes to write about. My self-imposed challenge is that I am not to duplicate themes from one challenge to another. The letter x often causes me the most grief!

If you'd like to participate this challenge (I love good company), sign up by adding your name to the list of participants. You can also read all the fine details of June's challenge by clicking the graphic in the right navigation bar on my blog.

As for May, I may slow down the frequency that I blog. The weather is nicer here, so I will have to enjoy it. I may also read up on the fine blogs that are out there and comment more often than I do right now.
