Last year

A lot has happened since last time I posted. I finally got a long-term position as a contractor for a government contractor. I've been here since June and have been offered a permenant position for another department. Hopefully with a lot more work. I'm not good as a thumb-twiddler.

My week started on a Monday and on Wednesday I went on a 5-day vacation. It was a bdsm vacation at Deep Creek Lake that I planned and choreographed. A lot of fun, but a lot of work too. It was an interesting mix of people and drama. I'd like to do it again, but I would definitely be more selective on who to invite.

I also became owner of a full time 24/7 submissive in my home. That lasted about 4 months and I was happy to see it dissolve. There was too much turmoil and drama to be a good fit; neither of us were what the other wanted or needed. ( I did have to chuckle last night though. This relationship ended 4 1/2 months ago, and he had someone contact me yesterday to see about getting the remainder of his things! He took things with him when he moved out and then came back a few days later to get the rest. His words to me were, "Get rid of whatever I left behind". Why on Earth would this person think that I'd hold on to his belongings 4 1/2 months later? Do I LOOK like a storage facility? Whatever was of any worth helped make up for his back rent that he owed me. Besides, this man has been nothing but outwardly rude to me at any event I see him at, why on Earth would he think that I'd go out of my way to help him out?

Summer went by without a beach vacation. That was disappointing but understandable. I did spend as much of it as I could with friends and family. One of my favorite events was at a friend's house in Virginia. She returned home from Maine with lobsters and did a lobster bake. My (then) submissive doesn't like "sea bugs" and was pretty icked out just looking at them.

September, a group of us went to King's Dominion for the weekend. We celebrated Pete's 40th birthday and as a wonderful gift to himself, he quit smoking!! YaY Pete!!!

October, my daughter came home for a wonderful 12 days for her father's marriage. She spent a lot of time with me and I was thrilled.

My son joined the Army National Guard. He is at this time in Arkansas getting his GED, and will return on Friday. He says once he gets that, he will upgrade to full-time Army status. He'll be home on the same day that his sister drives home from Texas with her husband. They'll be here for 5 days before driving back. In April, her husband will be out of the military and they will return home to Maryland for good. YaY!!!! Unfortunately, they'll also be bringing their 3 dogs with them. Lord only knows how that will work out.

November, I celebrated my 39th (+) birthday. Several of my bdsm friends went with me to Howl at the Moon and then to Club Hippo . I even had 2 male subs and 1 female sub at my side all evening. How nice was THAT!?!?!? :) Howl at Moon is a dueling piano bar and a lot of fun. Club Hippo is a gay bar and they had their Drag Show that night. One of my boys is a cross dresser so he was very intrigued.

December, I had a great Christmas. It was filled with family and my femsub friend came and stayed the night Christmas Eve. It was a wonderful day and family came in shifts. The evening ended with Pete's Dad and Grandad. What wonderfully sweet men. Pete's Grandad was very funny, not wanting to share his box of chocolates with anyone and making it a point to tease us with them.

Saturday after Christmas, I had a ReGifting Party. WHAT FUN!!!!! It was all lifestyle people and everyone had a good time. It was the first time that I'd ever participated in a "Chinese Gift Exchange". I can't wait to hold one next year!!!!

Here it is January of 2008!!! Where does the time go?
