        errr.... where was i?

      Well around - but busy as per usual.  i'm actually taking a few days off this week.  Sort of.  i'm still doing some work from home, but at my own pace, and not a lot of it so it's still pretty relaxing.

      Himself is back in cooking mode.  my hips are groaning!  (The rest of me isn't though)  We went to his mother's house for thanksgiving, bringing along a full car of us and turkey.  And cranberry sauce and dressing and potatoes and homemade cherry pie and gravy and candied carrots.  Did i forget something?  Oh yes, and salad fixings.  

      The night before this feast, He prepared a stuffed pork tenderloin, complete with procuitto (sp?) and apples and spices etc.  i think i've given him a bit of a challenge however as i'm trying to reduce my "unhealthy" carbs intake.  But he's rising to the challenge quite fiercely - suddenly i'm finding exquisitely prepared meats and greens on my plate that melt in my mouth.  Considering the fact that He's a huge rice fan, i'm very flattered that he's helping me out this way.

      And the lower carb thing is making me feel better.  i don't feel so 'boggy'.  i'm not going overboard by totally eliminating the carbs - i'm just trying to lessen the amount and be really picky about the ones i do eat.  (Except for the thanksgiving dinner of course - no way i'm giving up home-made pie!)  i was getting in the habit of french fries, cookies, potato chips, toast every morning and sandwiches at lunch again.  Combined with wine and late dinners it was just adding up to a daily menu of about 80% carbs.  Too much.  

      So now i'm concentrating on eliminating all the 'bad' carbs.  For example i'm ordering burgers without the bun.  i'm increasing vegetable intake and even forcing a bit of fruit into me.  i realize there's carbs in fruit, but they are healthy.  i'm trying to avoid processed foods in excess.   The carbs i do have, i try to eat in the morning, so that i have the rest of the day to process them.  And i'm definitely feeling better.  In fact a few skirts that were too snug to put on a few weeks ago, are now almost comfortable.  Even though the scales are saying i'm maintaining my weight.   

      Whatever happened to those days when i was eating french fries and toasted westerns every day and maintaining at 104 lbs!!  

       Speaking of good food - and a rowdy good time *eg* - Himself and i visited out-of-town friends this past weekend.  Well sort of out of town, they aren't really that far away, but anything past the Danforth is the boonies to Himself.  Heh.  He really loves this city.

      Anyway, we hadn't been to their house for a very long time - it was definitely our turn to do the driving.  And because of my mini-vacation, we were able to spend the night.  This allowed for lots of adventures - good food, good friends, wine and play.  Perfect.

      Himself treated us to a really yummy meal.  He prepared a leg of lamb, wild mushroom soup, "Moors and Christians" (really spicy brown beans on white rice) and lightly charred endive and radicchio with wilted spinach and toasted pine nuts.  Yummy.  "j" presented a truly decadent chocolate and baileys cheesecake type confection to finish off the meal. :-)

      i was given the opportunity of trying to draw a live person that night!  "j" wasn't really happy with me when i asked for permission from her Master for her to pose (she hadn't been warned ahead of time *eg*), but i think i was forgiven when i brought along a satin corset and little skirt thing for her to wear - hence alleviating the posing nude fear.  She was very good about sitting still - a major feat when you consider she's a neat nut, and while posing could clearly see two dominants in her kitchen, messing it up. :-)

      i was absolutely amazed at the difference from drawing from pictures to drawing live.  In a lot of ways i found drawing live a lot easier.  i also discovered that profiles are hard!  And hands and feet - and keeping perspective.  Ah well.  i intend to keep trying and hopefully one day might even get good.  Here's my official first attempt at people-drawing live. (Missing a tiny section of knee - the pic is too big for the scanner)

      So after inhaling way too many calories and wine, "j" and i found ourselves being led downstairs to the resident cross.  Yikes.  A great time was had by all though - we haven't had the chance to play like that in a long time!  In spite of my fears that my butt would be too sensitive, i managed to forget all that and really enjoy myself.  Another great thing was being able to do whatever we wanted - knife play especially - without fear of being stopped.  That was very cool!

      A lot of the detail i won't put here as its not my place to share "j's" scene without her permission (i did get permission to post the sketch.)  i will say though, that having two dominants with toys in their hands is a blast!  And i think both she and i had equally great times!  Double yum :-) 

      Much much later, Himself decided to drag me off to bed and continue on with our own brand of "playing", which included more spanking.  Then mere hours later, woke up and decided to do it again.  

      i feel totally sated now.  Indulged, wanton - yet eager for more.  And now that our schedules seem to be leveling out into more easily managed time, i think we'll be taking all the opportunities we can.  He's also on a mission to erase my bratty behaviour of late.

      i can hardly wait.
