Post Christmas Catch Up

Well, Christmas happened and it was great.

It sort of snuck up on me because I had been so focused on Malignus' birthday, since Christmas happens every year, but he only got to turn 30 once.

I had tossed the idea around of doing some Christmas themed photos for about a week before the holiday, but I ended up putting it off and ending up only taking a few in the poor, winter lighting on Christmas eve:


The "Spank Me" panties in the bottom left frame were a gift from the wonderful people at Paddles and Panties and the socks in the bottom right came from Heather W. and are the best socks ever.

I got lots of really nice presents from people both in the scene and in my vanilla life, which I shall not brag about because that's just unseemly. I will, however, brag about one thing: Malignus got me a KitchenAid mixer.



I've wanted one of these since I was twelve years old and I first started to daydream about having a home of my own. I've been so fond of them that I've HUGGED Epipelagic and LilLawBrat's mixers when I saw them. Now I have my own. I'm using it for the first time tonight, and I'm incredibly excited. It was pretty much the greatest gift! :D

Due to the emphasis on family and on rekindling old bonds, Christmas tends to be a fairly vanilla time. Malignus did give me a very lovely spanking before bed that night, though. It was one of those nice, affectionate spankings which leave me feeling extremely loved. He gave me a long, gradually building warmup with his hand before moving on to spank me with some member of the Turner Family (that is to say, the collection of wooden turners/spoons, all of which have human names). This also started out more gently, but progressed to being fairly hard. After he finished with this, he returned to spanking me with his hand in a gradual decrescendo, which brought me from a little squirmy to very relaxed and snuggly feeling.  I was so ready to go to sleep after the spanking that I nearly forgot to collect my post-spanking hug, which is pretty unheard of for me. Once I was reminded of this, I felt slightly embarrassed (who forgets hugs time?!) but I enjoyed the affection which followed. We said "Merry Christmas" to each other and then I fell promptly to sleep. It was the perfect end to a wonderful holiday. :)

Now that Christmas has been over for a couple of days, I really should have gotten caught up on blogging already. It would have been the perfect thing to do yesterday. Unfortunately, I've falled into a bit of a slump recently. This is largely caused by the fact that I hate winter. Christmas aside, I hate everything about winter. Now that Christmas is aside, well, I'm just left with snow, ice, dangerously slippery roads, fewer daylight hours and awful, bitter cold. In college, I was diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder, but the treatment for that involved me having to wake up at 6 AM and sit under an excessively bright light in the Health Services Office for an hour before my first class, which just served to make me grumpier than I already was, so I didn't continue the practice. Recently, I've been struggling against both crankiness and laziness. I've managed to keep up with my chores and such things, but I haven't been feeling particularly spunky. In fact, I feel more like this:


I promise to get myself more motivated for a more noteworthy post tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm off to spend some time with Malignus.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

  2. It sounds like you had a fun Christmas! I don't care for the holidays or winter, so totally get where you're coming from. But you realized that moving from CA to SD meant giving up awesome weather, right? ;-)

    1. Yeah. It was the biggest losing point on the whole deal, but worth it in the end. :)
