One Month Ago....

One month ago, I went to the Crimson Moon Halloween party, in spite of the airline's best attempts to see that I didn't arrive. (It's a month later, and I'm still upset about the cancellations and delays. Compared to what others have gone through--there are some horror stories out there!--getting in 4 hours later than I should have isn't the worst thing that could have happened. it did mean that instead of getting there in the afternoon, unpacking and getting settled, I didn't get there until after the party had already started. I hate missing out on party time! Still, as one wise soul kept trying to tell me, "At least you got here."

On my way to my room, I ran into one lovely lady in the hallway who was kind enough to listen to my grumpy and frustrated grumblings about my trip. I finished up by saying, "It's a good thing I'm here, 'cause I'm definitely in the mood spank someone at this point." She immediately volunteered. (I do love the Spanko ladies of Crimson Moon!)

I wanted to get drop off my bag, change clothes, and then drop by the hospitality suite to say hello to everyone there first, so she told me where I could find her later, and off I went.

It didn't take me long to make the rounds of the party room. This was a bit smaller gathering than other CM Halloween parties that I've been to, and some of my favorite people, such as my fellow bloggers, Cigi of Cigi's World and CherylKay of Positively Spanking, were not able to attend. I said my hellos, told my airline horror story a few times (another lovely lady, upon hearing that I was in the mood to spank someone, replied, "I'll think about it!" Very sweet and wonderful of her, but I did have to tell her that another lady had beaten her to it and was waiting on me to return.)

Back upstairs I went and quickly located my first spankee of the party. We went to my room, she went over my knee, and the spanking party--for me, anyway--officially got started. It was a wonderful session--her comment was, "If I could, I'd purr". What a wonderful and lovely lady to play with!

Back downstairs I spied a woman sneaking candy (she knows she shouldn't), and she got spanked by me right there in the hospitality suite. The night concluded with another lady who I somehow had missed playing with a few parties in a row. We made up for lost time--in fact, I think I played with her 3 different times over the weekend, each one a fabulous spanking experience.

One of the nice things about the party? The return of spanking model Sarah Gregory, who was attending her second Crimson Moon party! It's no secret to anyone that I'm a fan--somewhere in the archives is a post called, "I Love Sarah Gregory". For her take on the party, go to her blog, Spanking Sarah Gregory. She also has some wonderful pictures of the party and the outfits she was wearing.

Saturday came all too quickly. I had made arrangements to have lunch that day with one of my favorite people and her boyfriend. There wound be being 6 of us going, and we went to a buffet at an Indian restaurant. This was my first time eating Indian food, so I followed the lead of those in the group who were more experienced with the cuisine. We were told that all of the choices were mildly spiced, and that proved to be the case. It was a great first experience--the garam marsala and the tandoori chicken were my favorites. And while the spices did have a bit of a "burn", it was more of a light tingle on the tongue and throat and quite pleasant.

After lunch, two of the people went off to rest, and the remaining 4 went to my room to hang out and talk. Two of us tried playing, but for some reason she just couldn't get into it, so that wrapped up very quickly. It's too bad, because--as I mentioned--she's one of my favorite people to play with. But, there things happen.

The only bad thing about the afternoon was that I missed a mini-vendors fair. Sarah had brought some things to sell, and I missed it. (I also hadn't anticipated a vendors fair of any kind at this party, so had brought a minimum of money with me.) I saw Sarah at the dinner that night and she had noticed my absence. Sweetheart that she is, she offered to take me upstairs so I could see what she had for sale, but I had to honestly tell her I just didn't have the money. Next time she comes to Crimson Moon, though, I'll be better prepared! I enjoy her videos, and she has a 2010 calendar for sale that I really want!

For my Halloween costume, I took a tip from the TV show that consistantly ranks as #1 with the viewers. I wore this hat--

and combined it with this shirt--

added a pair of blue latex gloves and slung a camera around my neck, and I went to the party as an NCIS Investigative Field Agent. The camera had no batteries, no film, and no lens. I didn't say I was GOOD field agent! (Plus, some of those attending spanking parties are notoriously camera-shy, and I wanted to make sure they could tell there was no chance of my taking any snapshots.)

When I first walked into the party room, Mike, one of the leaders of the CM group say the latex gloves and said, "Okay, I have to admit, you're scaring me a little bit right now." I pointed out the NCIS logos and told him I was wearing them so as not to contaminate the crime scene.

Later on, I was posing for a few pictures when Sarah came over dressed as Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" and flipped her skirt up at me revealing a lovely red pair of panties (and, of course, her lovely bottom, as well.) In keeping with my costume, I just smiled and said, "I'll dust you for prints later." That got a laugh from everyone.

I started my evening spanking my absolute favorite CM lady, and was lucky enough to end the night by giving her a second spanking before she went off to bed. I think it left both of us in a good mood.

Sunday dawned all too soon. I checked out, went to the airport, and returned home. It was a wonderful party--once I got there--and I can't wait for the next one!

BTW, here's a shot of Sarah's 2010 calendar--you can order it by going to "Spanking Sarah Gregory". The link to her blog is on the right in the blog roll.

It's A Spank Blog, After All

Hello to all you readers, and all the new followers of this blog--and all the old followers of this blog, as well. I'm not leaving anybody out!

I've got a bunch of miscellany to get through--just assorted odds and ends that I need to address. (No, not THOSE kinds of ends--although some ladies ends definitely need to be seen to, if you catch my drift.)

First item: I'm still dealing with general busyness and distractions, so I'm not updating as often as I have in the past. There's no regular posting schedule that I follow, but I used to put up a new post roughly every two or three days. Lately it's been closer to a post a week. I'm hoping that will change soon. Thanks for sticking with me!

Second item: I finally changed my profile picture back to what it was. I still think the Yankees suck ass, but the World Series has been over for a while now. Give them credit, they won it, they're the best team that money can buy, and if all of us sports fans around the country were to honest, we wish OUR team would spend that kind of money to get some good free agents. Time to move on, as I said, and so the profile picture is back to that lovely black and white illustration of Domestic Bliss/Discipline.

Any lady wishing to find herself in the same position, the number to call is 555-Dr-Ken. I'm standing by, palm at the ready.....

I also changed the profile description. The old one read like a personal ad. Nothing wrong with that, really--hey, I'm a single spanker looking for a female spankee--but that doesn't really tell you what the blog is about, and that's what I'd like the profile description to do. Now it's more about what you'll find in these posts and pages, and what you can expect. I want to convey the idea that this blog is pretty much about the fun of consensual adult spanking--and let's face it, it is fun--even if we're taking it very seriously. There's an enjoyment of the whole proceeding going on--we wouldn't do it otherwise!

The written profile isn't quite where I want it yet, so there will undoubtedly be some tweaking and some changes made, but it's getting better.

The next item is an addition to the blog roll. It's another blog from Richard Windsor (when does the man sleep?) and it's called The Spanking Universe. It's really a reference site, much the way some other blogs have their blog rolls set up. You can see at a glance what blogs have posted updates to their sites and when. You get the name of the blog, the title of the latest post, and information about when it was posted, so at a glance you can see that--for example--Spanking Minnesota updated his blog about 1 hour ago with a post called, "It's A Spank Blog, After All". With nearly 200 blogs listed, it can't help but save you time if you check there first. You can then read the latest from your favorite bloggers without having to click on and view a blog that hasn't been updated for, say, two weeks.

Last item: I haven't done it yet, but I might have to turn on the "Comment Moderation". Lately some jerk of a spammer (are there any other kind?) has been visiting my blog, going into the post archives, and leaving "comments" that are nothing more than the sort of spam you get in your e-mail: where to get prescription drugs cheaper, where to get Viagra, you too can have a 12-inch penis, blah blah blahbity blah. Why they would do that, I have no idea--I mean, really, how many people are going to go digging through the archives and even find their little ad? I know about it because I get an e-mail every time somebody leaves a comment. When I see that it's happened, I go in as soon as possible and delete it. Maybe they're working on a quota or something--nobody has to actually see the spam, they just have to prove they posted it somewhere.....

Anyway, it's annoying and it takes time that I don't really have to give, so if it continues I will have to moderate the comments. All that will mean is that I screen any comments you leave. Once I approve them, they'll appear on the blog. So for those who are kind enough to comment on something I posted, it will be a case of gratification delayed rather than instant.

I'm hoping I don't have to do it, but time will tell. I'll certainly let you know if that happens.

That's about all for now, I think. Everybody have a spanking good time this weekend!

After The Party

".....and then he spanked me!"

Because sometimes you've just got to tell someone.........

Veteran's Day

I hope for nothing

I fear nothing

I am free.....

As we celebrate this Veteran's Day, let us remember those who served....and are currently serving.....to guarantee that freedom.

Non-Post

This is not a post.......not really.

I've been busy with other things lately, which has cut into my blogging time. On top of that, I've also been feeling somewhat uninspired. Neither situation should last much longer, but between the two of them, they've managed to keep blog updates to a minimum.

So, as I said, this is really sort of a non-post--which is still better than compost, though not by much.

I think I'll go have lunch at the 50's Grill in Brooklyn Center. It's an old-fashioned malt shop-type of place, and the food is solid. I especially like their Bacon-Cheddar burger. They make their own buns and rolls on the premises, which really adds to the taste.

Yeah, there's nothing like good buns.......
