Well, if you hadn’t noticed I’ve not posted here much this week. My domain may have been down for you temporarily. I had to change my DNS server. Sensual Service was down longer and may still be down for some of you. It will come back up (hopefully before Sunday’s posting of journal prompts) I promise. While the sites were unavailable I couldn’t post to my blog! What’s a girl to do?

Be annoying to Master that’s what.

Now that I can blog I feel the need to catch up on missed posts, reading of friends’ blogs; which I couldn’t do because I didn’t have the list of links to click and view, and of course think about what I needed to think about. I’ve had a lot of ideas flooding my brain. Some have to do with thoughts that I have read in others’ blogs.

libby talked about hogties and got me wondering if my body size would allow a decent modified version of a hogtie. I know Master has read about it and even watched this really cool video of a hogtie by Twisted Monk on YouTube!

There are some awesome tutorials that Monk has uploaded. I know that Master now wants some hemp rope to try on. He mentioned either 6mm or 8mm. I will have to see if I can save up for some.

It’s always the case that we want toys we can’t afford or don’t have room for. We went to Aldi’s tonight and they have a huge Deck storage box on wheels. It looked so lovely but first we didn’t have the expendable income and second we’d have no room to put it! It still makes me think that when we do have a play room it will be fully stocked. *grins*

angel has done a full week of gratitude posts and I’ve read Gratitude Tuesdays from numerous friends (danae, padme & Mija to name a few). I truly am grateful for so much in life and reading their thoughts has helped me appreciate what I have when sometimes it doesn’t feel like nearly enough. Thank you so much to all of you who have helped me see what there is to be grateful for.

And who can forget kaya. She wrote a really good post about size acceptance; of yourself and others. This strikes me hard. She says she’s overweight, although I guess we all have different perceptions of what is overweight. I am morbidly obese according to doctors and many have tried to get me under the knife and alter me forever. I will never do that. While I’m not 100% happy with my size, I am happier now that I’ve lost enough weight that my back doesn’t hurt, my blood pressure is now just in the borderline hypertension phase and I’m off medication, my knees aren’t as stressed and my shoulder has basically remained pain free for 2 years. These are the things that make me happy. I’m getting healthier and that was the point for me. While I’d love to lose another 100 lbs someday I know that it will take a lot of work. I’m very grateful for the 40 I have lost and kept off for over a year now. Go me!

I’ve had a lot to think about because of all my blog friends and for that I’m very grateful. Keep it up ladies and gents! I like mental exercise!

Master has some plans for some bondage this weekend. I’m looking forward to maybe some new ropework that he might have picked up from the Monk. Which reminds me, I have a scene to share with you all this weekend! It happened on Sunday evening and if you read my Letter to Master for last weekend you can probably guess what I asked for and what I got. *grins* It was delicious. Be prepared.
