I am interested in making friends with other kinky people. I am curious about many aspects of BDSM. For the most part, I am here to chat with people. If you are local to my area, say hello. If you attend the local munches and play parties, maybe I will see you there.

I am *A Vixen. I do have a Stag/primary partner in my life. If he approves of you, who knows what may happen? But I don't just up and meet strange guys alone. So... if you're willing to be honest and sociable, please do say hello... (zumala and NorthernCoyote on F E T life)

*In poly relationships.

*Attracted to intelligent and physically fit people.

*Most interested in people between 30 and 55 years of age.

*Interested in people who are local (within a 60 minute drive).

*Not interested in casual sex hook-ups, online relationships, cuckolding, situations involving non-consent by any party, blood, scat, golden showers, needles, or heavy pain.

* If you are interested in anything beyond friendship, be able to provide PROOF that you are disease free. If there is no evidence of cleanliness, then nothing at all will ever happen.


If you think you may be interested, be interested in a relationship and not just sex. Otherwise, you will find that you get nowhere with me.

We made it to Vermont in June, 2022! It's mid-August now, and I am SO glad to be here!

I lost my much beloved cat back in 2019... I nearly lost my own life as well, because I could not deal with the pain. However... over the past 3 years, I have managed to survive.  I am not finished yet.  That said, there is a lot of life left to live!

Vermont is beautiful, and with climate change going on, I am glad to have fled the wildfires of Arizona. I plan to homestead here in Vermont once we have saved some money up to buy land. And I hope to learn more about farming and maybe sell some of my artwork. Let us see what lies ahead!


4/15/2018 7:51:48 AM
I've had a few folks ask for an update, so here it is:  

I'm doing well with my job, my boyfriend, and my efforts to get back into proper shape.  So I guess things are going fairly well.  :)

10/14/2017 7:56:37 PM
Got a new job!  I start an admin job on the 23rd of October, and I'm absolutely thrilled!

Goodbye, USPS!  Helloooo county office job!  No frozen hands and feet for me this winter!

9/22/2017 8:25:56 AM
Since a lot of people have been asking lately...

No, I'm not single.  I'm poly and have two partners in my life.

6/5/2017 7:07:48 AM
Yup, it's another birthday!

2/8/2017 10:05:16 PM

Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Season's Greetings, and Happy New Year to Everyone.

I wish the very best to each of you in the year to come.  We all need to work together to make a life worth living.  Cheers!

12/13/2016 6:54:05 AM
So... work is still stressful and exhausting. However, it should back off after Christmas, so I just need to dig deep and find whatever it takes to manage two more weeks.

Thanks to those of you who wrote to offer encouragement and/or consolation.  I appreciate it.

12/10/2016 7:17:59 PM
HOLY SHIT, what a fucking awful day at work today!  I cried, I swore, I shook the steering wheel like I was trying to choke it to death, I snotted all over myself, I sobbed, I thought about quitting, and eventually I decided I didn't care if some fuckhole bad driver DID hit me and end it all.

*sigh*  At least now I'm home, fed, and with a drink in my hand.  Ugh.

6/7/2016 9:44:16 PM
Yet another birthday. On the plus side, I did get a phone interview while I was celebrating in Vegas. We'll see how that pans out.

2/27/2016 10:00:23 AM
Still job-hunting, but at least the weather is nice!  Weather's already too warm back down in the Verde Valley where I used to live.  Warmer than it should be for March, but at least Flag is still down in the 60's for a high!

12/18/2015 8:36:36 PM
Definitely enjoying the temperatures and occasional snows north of Flagstaff. I'd prefer to actually live in town and experience the full snows, but that's not in the cards right now.

Job searching as seriously as I know how. We really need the additional income. I wish I didn't become a jibbering idiot for interviews due to anxiety. I'm actually quite capable and intelligent, but it certainly doesn't seem obvious in an interview situation!  *sigh*

4/1/2015 9:29:33 AM

3/16/2015 2:29:52 PM

3/6/2015 10:56:05 PM
Definitely moving about an hour north of Flagstaff just after Easter. That will, naturally, shift the boundaries of who is local (within an hour's drive) and who is not. If you're in Flag and you've read my profile and feel that we fit your interest and vise versa, please do drop me a message.

2/22/2015 7:03:03 PM
Well now... It looks as if we'll be moving north of Flagstaff in early April.  That being the case, anyone interested in us will have to be in Flag or near it. Happy Spring, everyone!

Yet another birthday, but I still look fucking good.  Life is awesome!

Happy New Year!  ~2014~


12/25/2013 10:39:24 AM

Merry Christmas, Everyone!


11/7/2013 7:01:44 PM

Eventually we'd love to move to Washington state and settle down there.  I wish I knew when we'll be able to do that, for now it's just a sincere wish.


11/5/2013 9:39:46 PM

Two nights in Flagstaff.  Conner has homework, and I'm just relaxing.  It's nice, but a little quiet at times.  We'll be heading south again late Thursday morning.  I'm loving the cold weather.  :)


7/5/2013 4:29:49 PM

It *is* gorgeous.  Having a blast in WA and I have now decided that I want to live here.  Might be a while before I can pull it off, but this is where I want to be.


6/28/2013 7:01:06 PM

In Phoenix for the night, and flying to Seattle in the morning.  I'm so excited!  I've never been to Washington before and I've heard it's gorgeous.


6/3/2013 11:47:17 PM

Chilling out in Flag for my birthday.  Glad to escape the heat down in the valley!


5/29/2013 11:48:11 AM

I will be visiting Washington state for the first time in July.  I'm really looking forward to some good seafood, the Northwest landscape, and escaping Arizona's inferno of summer for a few days.


1/27/2013 5:05:58 PM

I am having some much fun with my drawing class!  My best drawings so far are a sabretooth tiger and a phoenix.  I have a long way to go to meet my expectations, but I'm off to a good start.

 


1/20/2013 6:41:25 PM

Taking a drawing class this semester.  I'm also expecting a set of kettlebells tomorrow.  It's time to get back into a regular exercise routine!


11/20/2012 7:30:00 PM

Almost done with this semester.  I'm looking forward to spending a couple of days in Vegas in mid-December.  Maybe we'll take in a show this time. :)


11/4/2012 7:37:23 PM

Just stopping by my profile for a moment or two. Been busy with classes, but it's worth the time.  My ceramics teacher says I'm a natural, but I guess I'm impatient to turn out really pretty pieces. Apparently I'm lucky that my first piece to go into the kiln didn't break, LOL.


8/10/2012 1:29:39 PM

6/5/2012 5:12:33 AM

What, ANOTHER birthday??  LOL!


4/2/2012 2:52:11 PM

Just back from my first visit to Yosemite.  Hiked over 30 miles, went to the top of Yosemite Upper Fall, nearly killed my left knee.  It's finally getting better now, but I'm waiting until Wednesday before I test it against my usual workout routine.  Don't need a relapse, that's for certain!


3/18/2012 11:14:06 AM

I hope everyone had a happy St. Patrick's Day!  We enjoyed Irish coffee yesterday, and woke today to the breaking of La Nina.  We had snow.  Plus a lot of rain overnight, which we've badly needed.  Cheers to the luck 'o the Irish (which I am on both sides of my family).


3/6/2012 5:22:10 AM

Vegas was totally awesome (aside from losing money to the slots)!  Enjoyed meeting a few CM folks yesterday over breakfast.  :)


2/22/2012 10:31:04 AM

Looking forward to spending a whole week checking out Vegas and the surrounding environs.  Also excited about visiting Yosemite at the end of the month.  March is going to be awesome this year!


1/17/2012 1:23:51 AM

Up at 2am with a cough that won't let me sleep. Not fun.


12/31/2011 5:56:07 AM

We're going to spent the New Year out camping on a hill top and indulging in a few outdoor activities this year.  See you all in 2012!


12/25/2011 11:54:33 AM

Merry Christmas!


Happy New Year!


12/21/2011 9:27:48 PM

I wonder how many other folks would find it helpful if CM would add bi-curious to the orientation choices?  Or maybe heteroflexible?

 

I'm bi-curious, but I think I'm going to change my profile to say bi instead of straight.


12/4/2011 6:03:12 AM

I *think* the photo bug has resolved itself now.


11/29/2011 10:36:48 AM

Well... I attempted to delete all my photos and then add one as a primary photo, and it didn't work.  Instead of the photo that it SAID was my primary, it was displaying a very warped version of one of my old photos.  Very unflattering, and I can't seem to get rid of it.  So I guess I won't have a photo.  Sorry, folks.


11/29/2011 10:06:45 AM

First of all, I would like to say thank you to CM for being helpful and assisting me to maintain my photos as my own.  However, the theft incident has made clear to me that anything I put up can be taken and paraded around elsewhere without my knowledge.  Because of that, I am taking down many of my pics online.  I will, however, leave one here.  The one that was 'borrowed' by someone else at least once already.

 

If you're a photo thief, go hack somebody else.  My photos are mine.  Thanks.


11/25/2011 12:11:35 PM

Looks like MissJadePA stole one of my photos.  I'm willing to bet that all those other pics are fraudulent, too.  The girls are similar in size and hair length, but they are obviously different people.

 

Tsk, tsk.


10/2/2011 11:10:13 AM

We're thinking of visiting Las Vegas for Christmas this year.  Anybody know if they do anything special there for holidays?


9/29/2011 8:10:09 PM

I know that this is a BDSM site and that people are looking for their match but... Folks, what's wrong with wanting to know a person and not just their fetishes?  I don't care if you're a fricking 10 on the scale of beauty, if's you're a jerk I wouldn't be interested.  Likewise, if you're not a runway model but you have a brain and a decent personality... I might be.  :-)   I can always use friends, and I only get involved with people that I've been friends with first.  I'm just not the shallow type.


9/22/2011 6:06:57 PM

The only guarentee in life is that nothing ever stays the same.  I have one week left of employment, and then I get to figure out what to do next.


8/31/2011 9:08:56 PM

Back from a week of vacation in Utah and Nevada.  It was our first visit to Las Vegas, and we had a blast!  Definitely be going back there again. =^.^=


8/13/2011 6:10:43 AM

Off to get my first wax ever.  Conner wants me to get a Brazilian.  When I pondered on whether or not he was sadistic, he said he wasn't. - If he was, he'd be giving it to me himself!  Personally, I'm not so sure.  Afterall, he *is* making a shy girl get naked with a stranger and then get tortured.  ;)


8/4/2011 8:44:56 PM

Actually got the rain I asked for, LOL!  Last night and again this afternoon.  Sure, it got me wet while I was working, but when it broke the heat it was wonderful! 

On a slightly different note, it looks like Conner has decided that he wants to try and work out a D/s relationship between us with him as my dominant.  I foresee life being a bit more interesting in the near future.


8/3/2011 6:45:16 AM

Oh, how I would LOVE a heavy rainstorm today.  Let's make it last a couple of hours and drop at least an inch.  Hell, if it weren't for the lightning around here I'd go out to dance naked in it.  We need rain!


6/25/2011 9:11:40 PM

I've decided to change my profile to a couple's profile, since I do have a partner who is involved in everything that I do.  I'm still the author and keeper of this profile, but I've added in a bit more info about Conner for those who might be interested in getting to know us.


6/4/2011 9:17:36 AM

Wow, has it been another year already?  This one was jam-packed with excitement, though!  My first birthday in Arizona and working in the career that I've wanted for a long time.  34 is going to be great, I can tell.  :-)


5/4/2011 12:41:03 PM

It's official.  I'm finally starting my career in biology/ecology.  First day on the job will be next Tuesday.  Huzzah!


4/30/2011 3:46:42 PM

$200+ dollars spent removing hordeum (aka "foxtail") from our dog's tonsils yesterday. Just spent 4 hours attempting to remove said foxtails from the yard. Exhausted.


4/15/2011 5:52:45 PM

Just got back from the Grand Canyon.  Had an awesome time!  I hiked a little over 35 miles and I have plans to go deeper into the Canyon next time we visit.


4/9/2011 6:42:26 AM

Woke up to find it snowing at 36 degrees outside.  Meanwhile, it's 71 in San Antonio, Texas with 87% humidity, heading for a high around 97.   I freaking LOVE Arizona!!


3/15/2011 12:46:51 PM

The weather here is truly amazing.  It goes from a sudden snow storm that drops 3" of snow one day, to highs in the 80's only a couple of weeks later.  I guess it must be spring, now.  Time to spend my days working outside in the heat and other elements, just the way I have always wanted.  To me, to exist with nature and to play by her rules is to live.  Field work may be uncomfortable at times and hard on the body, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.


3/5/2011 9:20:30 PM

Managed to burn my left hand tonight while making dessert.  :-/ 

On the up-side, I think I'll finally start the job I've been waiting years for in a couple of weeks.  Excited about that!


2/8/2011 9:19:30 AM

Just getting back into a good exercise routine.  The first week is always the hardest, as the muscles like to scream in protest, LOL.  So far so good, though!  Soft muscles tone up quickly, thank goodness.


1/31/2011 9:17:52 AM

Finally getting a crack at a biology job this week.  It's application time!


12/24/2010 12:12:57 PM

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

And a Happy New Year!


12/12/2010 12:14:44 PM
I decided that it was time to do a bit of a profile overhaul.  :-)

11/25/2010 5:59:31 AM
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

10/6/2010 11:13:37 AM
It's raining hard here today. The mountains are hidden in the clouds as lightning strikes all around, apparently drawn to random peaks. Small hail the size of a pea fall briefly. I am amazed that such weather happens in the high desert. It is beautiful here. I'm glad I came.

10/3/2010 2:02:33 PM
This is just an observation/thought after having been contacted by many individuals who call themselves dominant... If you expect or better yet, demand respect from me because you call yourself dominant and for no other reason... You may expect something negative from me. Oh, I will probably be polite enough initially, but you won't have my respect. At best, you will simply provide me with a laugh at your ridiculous bloated ego. If you desire respect from me, you will have to earn it -- just like everyone else. A self-applied label cannot secure it for you.

9/25/2010 5:46:34 PM
I've been living in my new town in central AZ since Monday and I have to say that I love it here. It's hot during the day, but the mornings are cool and lovely. Wildlife everywhere and hiking just beyond my front door. All a natural girl like me ever wanted.

8/30/2010 7:39:09 AM
We will be leaving San Antonio, Texas on September 15th. I'm looking forward to beginning the next chapter of my life in Arizona.

8/24/2010 2:52:18 PM
Only a few weeks left until we leave Texas. I'm so excited about our move to Arizona. A new beginning!

8/19/2010 3:42:46 PM
Kudos go out to one of downtown San Antonio's bar tenders for taking the time talk art and chemistry for me.

8/11/2010 8:00:38 AM
To avoid confusion... I have changed my profile location to reflect where I will be moving to in a few weeks. I will still be located in San Antonio, Texas until mid-September.

8/10/2010 8:43:18 AM
Just a thought... If you send a message asking what I'm looking for, do you know what that tells me? It tells me that you lacked enough interest, curiosity, and perhaps even good sense to actually READ my profile. If you can't even do something that simple, then you aren't my type.

8/9/2010 8:15:26 AM
It's official. We're moving to Arizona in September!

8/7/2010 1:45:50 PM
I'm amazed that I have to say this, but... If you write to me for the first time and you include either the word 'fuck' or pictures of your penis, I'm not going to respond to you.  If you can't be bothered to concern yourself with what I'm looking for, I'm not going to concern myself with you either.

8/4/2010 8:19:44 PM
I have simplified (I think!) my profile.  Hopefully it is easier to read and will be helpful in assisting people in deciding whether or not they want to get involved with us.

As always, friends are certainly welcome.

7/30/2010 2:10:38 PM
We have a new winner for jerk of the moment.  Mr. "RomanceFirst" had the balls to write and insult me, but not enough to listen to any reply I may have had.  Haven't you got anything better to do than insult random women, you castrated dung heap?  I can hazard a guess as to why you're still single.

7/21/2010 9:31:30 AM
It seems as though some people are having a difficult time reading my profile, so I'll summarize -- If you are straight, you can be a friend but not our Dom. If you aren't looking for a sub couple, move on. Thanks! :-)

7/20/2010 2:55:51 PM
Seems that penicillin isn't strong enough to kill off the infection in my jaw. Dentist is upgrading my antibiotic prescription.

7/18/2010 12:43:40 AM
Our first actual play session was awesome! Had a fantastic time at the GWNN Bash in Austin! Thanks, Argent and Opal!!

7/16/2010 2:14:20 PM
Conner and I are venturing out to the GWNN Bash in Austin this weekend. I may not be around much tomorrow. Have a nice weekend, Everyone!

7/15/2010 6:17:04 AM
Thank you all for your good wishes and sympathy during my time of suffering. I am so glad to be able to say that after my dentist treated my dry socket yesterday afternoon I am feeling MUCH BETTER! Such relief, it's wonderful!

7/14/2010 2:57:14 PM
Update: It turns out that I have what is referred to as a "dry socket". The dentist flushed the hole out and filled it. I have more painkiller and now an antibiotic to kill the infection in the socket. I should start to get better now. Yay!

7/14/2010 12:02:15 PM
Heard from dentist... I'm not supposed to be in pain by now, he says. I was just around an 8.5 on a scale of 1-10 for pain. Getting pulled out of work to be examined...

7/14/2010 7:15:47 AM
Well, my wisdom teeth are out. Unfortunately there are complications (one of which is a bad episode of TMJ) which are causing me a lot of pain yet. Still trying to resolve those problems.

7/12/2010 6:19:45 PM
Does anyone care to try explaining the motivation behind a complete stranger writing to say simply "Fucking Bullshit"?  And his profile states that he is educated, attractive and a Gentleman...  If there's any shit here, bull or otherwise, it certainly isn't mine.

7/8/2010 1:30:38 PM
Tomorrow morning at 8am I am going to have three wisdom teeth removed. I may not be on for a day or two. OR I may be on and not making a whole lot of sense due to painkillers. If you talk to me then, try not to expect much coherence. ;-)

7/6/2010 2:24:00 PM
While we will now be looking for a bi dominant male or a bi Dom/Domme or Dom/sub couple, I think we will wait until we see whether or not we move to Arizona. It wouldn't make much sense to find a Texas Dom if we're leaving in two months.

7/2/2010 6:07:09 PM
A little bit of an update from earlier today.  Right now I think that we are most likely to turn out to be a sub/sub couple.  We have some talking to do before we seek anyone too seriously.  I believe we will still favor Dom/Domme couples.  Dom/sub should still work for us.  And perhaps a single bi Dom could work out.  Everything depends on how personalities and situations mix.                                            

Beyond that, the other tidbit of news is that it looks as though we still stand a very good chance of relocating to north central Arizona sometime in late August or September.

7/2/2010 6:51:34 AM
Something new to ponder. What are good options for a submissive in a life-relationship with a partner who is interested in the D/s lifestyle but is not a dominant? Right now the best term I can think of for him is "nebulous" switch. Not sure how things fit.

7/1/2010 8:03:37 AM
A question for the general populace... If a person offers an explanation of why something did or did not get done, is that an excuse or an attempt to appraise the other party so that they have a better understanding of a situation? How can you tell the difference between the two?

6/29/2010 7:03:28 PM
Today our chance to move opened so that Conner can app for it. The processes involved are not quick, so I don't expect we will hear a 'yay' or 'nay' answer until August. Here's to hoping for an invitation to relocate by summer's end.

6/24/2010 6:25:05 PM
My time as a juror is at an end Its time to get back on a regular schedule!

6/24/2010 2:39:24 PM
Finally, my jury duty is concluded. It was definitely a learning experience.

6/21/2010 8:24:36 PM
R.I.P --  Tim P.  You were a good man and a good boss, and you will always be remembered kindly.  Thank you.

6/21/2010 7:39:28 AM
After a week at recess, it's back to court for jury duty once again. Faithful service rendered to our justice system.

6/18/2010 8:28:39 PM
Back to the court room for me on Monday. I'm not sure how much longer it will take us to decide on this case. In other news, I have managed to injure my right shoulder and neck in a fall UP some concrete stairs. How, you might ask? Simple -somebody's offspring got in the way and I made a twisting swan-dive to avoid them. Whee. I am still doing my best to workout despite the pain, but some routines will have to be foregone until the muscles are healed. My next goal remains 118 pounds by the end of July.

6/15/2010 2:03:03 PM
Today I actually had a guy write to ask if I would call him so that he could hear my voice while he jacked-off to my photos. What kind of site is this again? If I wanted to serve as porn, I'd charge! :-P

6/9/2010 11:16:07 AM
Currently involved in very serious business during the day. I won't be available to chat much or for very long if I do check in during lunch. Please be advised that this status will likely continue for 1-2 weeks. Thanks!

6/7/2010 10:00:33 AM
Okay, guys... I know I have a pretty decent-looking photo up on my profile, but please don't let that distract you from reading it. It could save you some time and effort. :-)

6/7/2010 6:00:14 AM
Two points if very minor interest today: First, I forgot my phone charger today, so I can't talk as much; and second, apparently iPhone use turns my messages blue instead of pink. Freaky, eh?

6/5/2010 3:38:13 AM
Well, there it is. It's officially my birthday today, and I'm 33. Now someone just needs to explain to the puppy about being nice and not waking people up early on special days. Special snugs to Conner for taking him out when it's usually my job.

6/4/2010 3:24:18 PM
Well, then! This morning I went in to the dentist and had a procedure called 'scaling' done. My mouth probably resembles Swiss cheese between the gaps left by tartar removal and all the holes they made injecting lydocane. I'm told my mouth is going to hurt for about three days. Fun!

6/1/2010 9:44:36 AM
I've noticed something of minor curiousity since posting my new photos yesterday. When my profile has no pictures, no one writes randomly to call me a fake. Yet less than 24 hours after adding photos to it, I've already received one rude message from a complete stranger. Why is that? I'm hardly a supermodel. Am I too thin at 32 years of age to be believable? Girls over 30 can't possibly stay fit? I don't get it.

5/28/2010 5:07:04 PM
Still thinking through what we want. Friendship is paramount. Openess and honesty is a must. We wish to have fun, but it isn't to be meaningless. Is anyone seeking a couple who just doesn't fit into any 'normal' mold?

5/28/2010 7:22:00 AM
We're still in Texas and probably will be for a couple more months at least, BUT things are still looking promising for our relocation to Arizona. Might be in August if things work out. We'll be settling south of Flagstaff, right about the middle of the state. I hear they actually have four seasons there! ;-)

I've recently added sub couples and sub males to my profile, as I'm sure some of you have noticed. The reason for this is that after some discussion, Conner and I think a bi submissive male might suit our desires well. A bi sub/sub couple or Dom/sub couple would also work. We will be updating our profiles further to reflect this addition to our search.

5/21/2010 10:58:35 AM
I'm thinking over the idea of learning a form of dance or martial arts. I need a fun way to expend my energy, as I'm not the type of girl to let myself get bored and fat. Which would you recommend and why?

5/18/2010 6:39:30 AM
Random ramblings this morning. It's tough to get into peak physical condition when you can't breathe hard without choking. I didn't have this problem before living in SA. So with running and biking out, I'm struggling to succeed by walking and climbing stairs. I'd like to reach 119 by June 5th, but I don't know if I'll make it.

5/3/2010 8:00:40 AM
Update time! I know it's been forever since I had a photo up, so I'm planning of putting up a new one in June. In other news, our new puppy is growing and keeping us on our toes. We also haven't moved to Arizona, but that could still happen. Guess we'll have to wait and see. Cheers!

4/26/2010 12:35:04 PM
Well, I haven't moved yet, but we do have a nine week old puppy now. Didn't see that one coming, LOL!

3/29/2010 10:13:59 AM
It's been crazy busy for me lately. If things go well, I'll be moving to Arizona soon.

3/17/2010 7:23:12 PM
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!  I had an awesome night out at a local Irish pub.  I always have a Smithwick's on this day of the year, but today I also had Irish whisky.  Good stuff!!  I am SO hyper right now!

2/17/2010 6:34:14 PM
Just got back from a five day road trip that stretched from central Texas to Vicksburg, MS.  It was fun, but I think 6-8 hours of driving a day is a little much for me.  I prefer hiking. :-)

1/21/2010 7:21:47 PM
From what I've heard, next week will be the one I spend focused on my resume and application for the job that could launch my career.  Here goes everything...

1/14/2010 8:17:37 PM
It's been really busy for me lately and will stay that way for a few more weeks.  If luck is with me, I'll finally start my desired career in a month or two.  I sure hope so!

1/2/2010 5:45:30 PM
Happy New Year!

12/24/2009 8:12:22 PM
Merry Christmas, Everyone!

12/12/2009 12:12:41 PM
As of yesterday, we know that whatever it is that's giving Conner so much trouble, it isn't lymphoma.  That's a huge relief.  Although we do still need to figure out what's bothering him.  As for me and my work toward a new career... I'm still studying and we'll see how it goes.  Likely won't know anything until February the way things look now.

12/6/2009 12:42:01 PM
Life has been really tough for me lately, I'm sorry to say.  Conner hasn't been well, we've both been stressed.  My best attempts at improving myself through study so I can get the career I desperately desire seems to be failing.  I won't know that things have hit rock bottom until I'm rejected for the job I'm going to apply for, of course, but that seems to be the trend as of late.  We'll see.

11/3/2009 7:03:12 AM
Wow, things have been crazy busy the last week or so. I'm still settling into my new job and rearranging my daily schedule. I know I'm a bit late with that photo. I'll try to get a quick one up in the next day or two. Nothing too fancy.

10/26/2009 8:15:30 AM
Made it home last night after midnight, got five hours of sleep, then dragged into work to find that I got a promotion. So tomorrow I have training to do. I like change, but I could use a chance to catch up to myself, LOL. Still planning on adding a pic this week.

10/25/2009 3:51:17 PM
I'm in Denver right now, waiting for a flight back to SA and staring at what looks like a blizzard outside. Can they fly in this?? It's really amazing to watch, though. I love snow and we never get any. Merry Christmas to me early, I guess. :-)

10/17/2009 7:59:12 AM
Well, we're off to Colorado early tomorrow morning! I'm excited about having some time off and a chance to hike in nature. I'll finally have some new pics to post after we get back. Should be the last week of October. Cheers!!

10/11/2009 9:46:42 AM
I just rode 20 miles in the rain with a temperature around 58.  It was awesome!  Got home covered in mud from head to toe, but the hot shower to clean up was soooo nice.  It was great to get back on the bicycle again.                                                                 I'm heading to Colorado next week for a vacation, and I'll probably post new pics after I get back.

10/7/2009 5:11:51 AM
Good morning.                                                                                                Due to having met a LOT of real lunatics, ego-maniacs, and just plain straight out rude people on this site over the past four years... I've decided to focus my search elsewhere.  I'll still check my account here and I will add a new photo in a week or two.  But I think there's another site that might suit us better.                                                                            Cheers,

10/5/2009 5:12:15 PM
Two tidbits of information.  First, I'll be adding a new photo in a couple of weeks.  Second, I'm excited about taking a trip out to Mesa Verde NP in southern Colorado.  It will be a new park for me, and I do love exploring new places.

9/26/2009 6:41:27 PM
Happy National Public Lands Day!    I spent my morning at my local National Park planting trees.  Now I have blisters on my hands and sore muscles, but I feel great!  Being ecology-minded and an earth/life sciences person by education, I loved investing my time and physical effort in something I see as completely worthwhile.

9/20/2009 7:53:15 AM
Still no word from South Carolina.                  

     I'm glad that the weather is finally cooling down at least a little bit.  I'm hoping to be able to resume running again soon.

8/23/2009 6:49:14 AM
                Good morning!                                                  

     As before, I have no idea if Conner's job application will yield a positive result.   However, if it does we shall relocate to South Carolina.   I imagine it will be at least a month before we know anything.                  
                                                                            
I think I can handle being a beach girl as long as I'm close to mountains too.

8/11/2009 9:29:02 AM
I can't use the chat feature here. Msg me a few times, and if we have something to talk about we can use an IM.

8/10/2009 5:45:13 PM
I'm thinking the end of September might be a good time for a new pic.  The heat this summer is making staying in shape a major pain.  Bad air-quality isn't helping either.

8/4/2009 7:38:03 PM
Still in Texas, still trying not to melt.  I'm having a heck of  a time trying to stay in shape with this heat, but I'm not giving up.

6/5/2009 5:10:51 AM
Today is my 32nd birthday.  Hooray for half-days at work!    My husband has given me a certificate to a day spa this year.  I've never been to one of those before.  Should be interesting.

6/3/2009 4:45:33 PM
I'm turning 32 on Friday.  Doing well with my fitness program, which is nice.  Hopefully I'll find an affordable, non-addictive, non-depression-forming method of dealing with my allergies soon.  Either that, or we miraculously move to Washington or Oregon.

5/29/2009 10:03:00 PM
Ugh, allergies!  Not being able to breathe really makes running difficult!  Hopefully I'll find a way to fight it this summer.

5/21/2009 1:01:24 PM
We are looking at taking a week-long trip to Portland, OR to check out the city and the surrounding area.  We would LOVE to move there, but it's tough finding a job in the area.  So for now we're planning to play tourist there in early September.

5/16/2009 11:25:31 AM
It's raining!  It happens so infrequently here that I immediately ran outside to take a mile walk in it.  I just came inside because the lightning is directly overhead.  I like to have my fun, but I'm not suicidal.  ;-)  Now I look like a drowned rat wrapped in a bath towel.  What a fun way to spend a Saturday!

5/9/2009 8:45:14 AM
It looks as though summer has arrived.  Now begins the season of trying to stay in shape without suffering from heat stroke!

4/29/2009 4:45:54 AM
We're back!  The trip was a lot of fun, especially the hiking and the bath/massage.  The Buckstaff bath house is wonderful.  I recommend it if you're up that way.

4/25/2009 4:39:28 AM
So far Hot Springs is nice.  We got in around dusk last night.  Beautiful drive, but is a bit long for the back if you aren't used to sitting in a car all day.  Today we begin our daylight exploration of the town.

4/18/2009 1:27:05 PM
It's time for vacation!  From April 24-28 we'll be in Hot Springs, AR.  I don't know if I'll have net access to check messages or not.  Cheers!

4/15/2009 6:22:18 PM
A couple of notes. :-)    First off, my workout routine is making a comeback.    Second... the chat here shuts down my browser, so I can't accept chat requests.  Sorry!

4/12/2009 6:32:42 AM
Happy Easter, everyone.

3/18/2009 8:18:02 PM
For those of you who have been requesting photos, I will post a new one around my birthday in June.  I've been sick for a while and I want to get myself back into shape before I go posting revealing pics again.  ;-)

3/17/2009 8:31:50 PM
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!   Have a Guinness, today's their 250th birthday!

2/27/2009 3:42:36 PM
I'm pleased to say that Conner and I will be celebrating our seventh year anniversary of marriage on Monday.  I hope there are many more ahead.

2/19/2009 7:04:34 PM
I had one heck of a cold/upper respiratory infection over Valentine's Day weekend.  I still haven't gotten rid of the cough.  However, once I do, it's now light enough in the evenings for me to start riding my bike home from work again.  I look forward to it.

2/9/2009 3:44:26 PM
For those of you who have been kind enough to express sympathy and/or support toward me concerning my depression, thank you.  While I am not 100 percent back to normal, I believe I have a handle on it.  Returning to my workouts seems to be helping.

1/30/2009 5:58:10 AM
The good news is that I don't appear to have appendicitis.  The bad news is that I absolutely hate needles and nearly had hysterics in the ER yesterday.  Oh, well.  Onward.

1/28/2009 6:47:27 PM
Depression is not a fun thing.  Hopefully I will find a way to get past it soon, before it really messes me up.

1/15/2009 8:40:03 PM
My computer bit the dust... but I'm back now with a new laptop. :-)

1/3/2009 6:13:47 AM
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

12/25/2008 6:07:10 AM
Merry Christmas, Everyone.

12/24/2008 4:33:27 AM
It looks like my nephew gave me his cold for Christmas.  Can't breathe, can't exercise, feel like crap.  Ugh.

12/12/2008 1:58:38 PM
Still waiting to get out of Texas...                                                                           BUT, I did experience my first play party with one of our local BDSM groups this past weekend.  It was really an awesome experience.  It was my first time being stripped naked and flogged in public, too.  I wasn't allowed on the furniture and had to sit on a large pet bed.  I ate only from a large metal dog bowl, although I was allowed to use a fork.  I had a fantastic time!

11/26/2008 5:56:41 PM
Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!                                                            While I'm still in Texas right now, I have hope that I may be moving out of the state in a few months' time.  So I'm thankful for that.  I'm thankful that I have a wonderful husband, even if he does have a nasty version of the flu right now.  I'm thankful for my two cats, even if one is a hellion.  I'm thankful that I'm able to run a mile without stopping and have the potential to work up to many miles over time.  Life's not perfect, but I do have a lot to be thankful for... and I'm thankful for that.

11/21/2008 8:12:21 PM
Not much to say right now.  I hate to get my hopes up so that I can avoid disappointment if nothing works out... but my husband is making a few bids to get a new position that will get us out of Texas.  I can't help but hope at least a little that something will work out.  We'll see in a few months, I guess.

11/15/2008 5:36:18 AM
Hmm, could this really be... a cold snap?  In November?  Pshaw, surely not.  This IS Texas after all, LOL.                                                          

                 I'm just playing.  The lack of winter here is something I groan about from time to time, but the short cool snaps we do get are always appreciated.

11/11/2008 5:48:53 AM
How awesome is it to have a day off work in the middle of the week?  Pup and I are both off today and looking for things to do.  Nice, slow start to the day so far.  We were talking this morning and decided we should start getting to know more people local to our area.

11/9/2008 10:34:14 AM
For those of you who have wondered, I did not alter my photos myself.  My husband has often mentioned to me that he is uncomfortable with me showing my face on this site.  He has taken the liberty of cropping my photos for me.  If you are wondering, I have blue-gray and rather pretty eyes, and reddish-brown hair that falls past my shoulders.

11/9/2008 7:09:38 AM
I've noticed lately that a decent number of people will read a journal entry and then write to attack or criticize over it.  Now tell me, why is that necessary?  If I am glad about something that you are not, but did not directly approach you to rub it in your face then please show me the same courtesy.  I've seen a number of statements and opinions in others' journals in the past that I did not agree with or that outright offended me; and yet I held my peace.  Maturity and self-restraint help make people civil, and that in turn reflects well on them and their reputations.  More people should try it.

11/4/2008 8:12:51 PM
Praise God!  It looks as if our country now has a fighting chance at recovery.  I look to the future with great interest.

11/2/2008 7:26:03 AM
A quick up-date for those who like to see what I've been up to.  While my knee is still bruised internally so that I can't kneel or ride my bike yet, I am now able to walk without limping.  That's a huge improvement.                                                                 I am resuming my more 'sedentary' exercises today (pilates and upper body weights) and will be testing the strength of my knee daily.  Once I'm sound and without pain, I will resume my bike riding.

10/25/2008 9:24:47 AM
Wow... well, I've hit another minor setback along my path to fitness.  I had a bit of an incident with a bus yesterday that resulted in my falling off a curb in the dark with my bike.  The result is that my left knee is sprained and purpling nicely right now.  The good news is that the bus stopped and I didn't have my head crushed by the back tires.   O.o 

I'm trying to be good and stay off my leg this weekend in the hope that my knee will heal quickly and I can get back up on my bike again soon.

10/20/2008 4:04:23 PM
Back up and moving again.  I gained a few pounds and lost some ground after being sick all through August and falling off the wagon, so to speak.  Today I've gotten my act back together and have started a good daily regime.  I still plan to beat my June stats by New Years.

Cheers!

10/18/2008 11:28:10 PM
Apparently that vacation was just what we needed.  Pup and I have had a lot of time to talk together about our relationship and have ideas and some plans to put into practice.  It is my hope that our D/s roles will progress and work themselves into and throughout our 'daily' lives.

10/14/2008 7:52:27 PM
We are back from Colorado and wish we had moved there instead of only going for a vacation.  How beautiful!  We had a few days of fall and then a few of winter, which were heavenly.  Definitely will return someday!

9/30/2008 7:44:53 PM
I am pleased and excited.  Only a few days separate myself and Pup from a vacation to the Rockies.  It's been much, much too long since I have been in the mountains.  I can hardly wait!    We will be gone until late on the 14th, so if you write to me after the 5th it will take me a while to respond.    Between the 14th and the 17th we may be off exploring Austin or the hill country since we'll still have vacation time and don't want to spend it sitting around at home.

9/16/2008 5:00:15 AM
Due to a conversation last night with an ass who got rude very quickly,  I have reviewed my profile and re-written it a little.  I believe it is more clear now concerning my husband and myself.

9/14/2008 1:45:26 PM
Greetings,

                                        Those who wish to offer advice or seek a mentor relationship should speak with Pup75, since he is responsible for me.  I am willing to chat, but anyone serious should include him as well.

                         For those who wish me to leave my husband Pup for them... piss off.  You barely even qualify as human in my eyes, much less a proper Dom.  Respect, love, trust, and loyalty are the hallmarks of my life.  You will get nowhere with me if you lack those traits.

9/6/2008 5:00:46 PM
After being sick enough to require antibiotics in order to recover, I'm trying to get myself back into the habits of daily exercise and healthy eating.  Why is it that bad habits are so easy to acquire, while good habits take a lot of work to form?  :-P

Ah, well.  As with anything else, the way to win is to take each day and each moment as it comes.  To look back or too far ahead is to fail.

8/22/2008 5:16:50 AM
I have to admit that I've gotten a lot of messages from people who apparently haven't actually read my profile.  If you're looking for a single woman, I'm not it.  I have a husband.  I'm also not into being a 'white' slave.  My color has no bearing on my submission.

7/28/2008 4:34:35 AM
Not too much to say at the moment.  Still working on getting healthier and into better shape.   Hopefully in the next month or two we'll be able to take a little time off for a vacation.

7/24/2008 6:36:28 PM
I am reordering my photos, so my profile may be lacking for a short period of time.  Please bear with me.

7/13/2008 8:23:20 PM
For those who have been waiting...  I just submitted a photo taken on my birthday last month.  Whenever it's approved, it should be viewable.

7/2/2008 8:02:22 PM
Who out there actually wants to share information and suggestions with a devoted and curious couple?  I get so many males trying to court me, but my heart is already given.  That doesn't mean that my mate and I don't look for friendships or information, though!

7/1/2008 7:12:23 PM
I tried sushi for the first time yesterday, and I LOVED it!  I had lots of energy all day and it was wondeful.  With luck, I'll get Pup to take me for some more next month.  Thanks to my friend/co-worker for dragging me out for sushi for lunch!

6/6/2008 8:14:46 PM
I am feeling fantastic!  I've lost 9 pounds in three months and am fitter at 31 than I was at 29.  I love all the extra energy and positive attitude that I have now.  Just couldn't help saying so!  What a wonderful birthday this one was!

6/5/2008 4:46:17 AM
Here's to being 31 and looking even better than I did at 29!

5/15/2008 8:23:10 PM
Well, it looks like I've hit my birthday weight mark a little early.   Looking in the mirror, I see improvement but there's still plenty of room to shape up some more.  I don't know where my weight will settle once I'm fit, but it's not so important to me now.  I wanted to be below 120 by my 31st birthday and I've accomplished that.  Now I'm just focusing on health and getting stronger.

Cheers!

5/2/2008 5:42:07 PM
Had an awesome bike ride to work and back again today for the first time.  Burned 600 calories in the process.  Nice!

4/26/2008 9:00:23 AM
Busy moving this weekend. It never rains here unless you're water-soluble.

4/20/2008 12:37:31 PM
Acquired a new brother over the weekend.    Tiring time, but interesting.   Now this week we get on with moving across town.  April is a BUSY month this year!

4/12/2008 4:13:33 PM
Today Pup and I had our first bike ride together ever.    We bought a pair of bicycles just yesterday.   Neither of us had ridden since we were teens and we felt some measure of success after going about 20 miles before tiring out.    We may not be able to stand OR sit tomorrow!    ;-)

4/7/2008 6:55:24 PM
today we said goodbye to a wonderfully intelligent and warm-hearted friend.  may she rest in peace and always be remembered for the joy that she had and for the joy that she was to those who knew her.

3/17/2008 5:41:36 PM
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!  An even more special wish to those of you who, like myself, are indeed of Irish descent.  Have a Guinness, Harp, or Smithwick's today.  I had mine (Smithwick's) with a lovely lamb stew and brown bread this evening.  Fantastic!

Cheers!

3/2/2008 5:59:12 AM
Today Pup and I celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary.  :)

3/1/2008 7:20:19 AM
I am still on course to reach my goal of 119 by my 31st birthday.  To celebrate that achievement when I reach it, I will post a new photo.  My final 'stop' will be around 114 pounds and I will post that pic for the New Year.

2/26/2008 5:10:30 PM
I'm so pleased that I thought I'd post it here. I am making wonderful progress with my new 'diet' and exercise program. I've found a website that is a fantastically useful tool in helping a person figure out what changes to their lifestyle and habits are necessary in order to procure success in gaining better health and losing excess weight.     I'm not doing this just to lose weight. My looks are only half my concern. I might like to be a show animal, but my 'breed' is also a working animal. I want strength, speed, flexibility and balance. Think Alaskan Malamute rather than Chihuahua.      Cheers!

2/24/2008 1:48:17 PM
I had an interesting experience today and have been pondering it as I go about my chores.   If a submissive were to submit on-line to every Dom/me who demanded it, wouldn't that simply create chaos? Why would any dominant person insist upon something like that? And without even being familiar with the submissive individual in question?   Also... Am I the only one who sees a difference between being dominant and being rude? If someone contacts me and demands my submission and I politely decline and explain my reasons for declining, should that garner a return message referring to me as a 'slut' and a 'cunt'? That is not dominant, that's just rude and immature.

Thoughts?

1/23/2008 2:26:03 PM
Nice to see that CM has arranged to allow us to express ourselves through the display of our taste in music. :-)    I've only added a few of my current favorites.

Home sick today, but recovering.  Once I'm sure the fever is gone, I shall take up my daily exercise again.

1/10/2008 3:23:49 AM
Happy New Year to everyone.

     I've started changing some of my habits in order to fit exercise into my daily schedule three times a day. So far it seems to be working, but I should know if it's good for the long haul after a few weeks have passed.

     I may be re-working my profile some in the near future. Pup and I have been talking, and while we're still interested in learning more about D/s, we might be interested in meeting the right people for... well, I guess you could call it 'kinky friendships'. We'd like to find good friends who just happen to be kinky in addition to other shared interests.

12/22/2007 5:56:43 AM
Pondering a lot lately on how to better order my life to achieve my desired goals.  You wouldn't think it would be that difficult, yet somehow it is. 

I'll need a new job sometime soon, although I'm not in a paniced rush.  I also need to devise an exercise routine that works for me.  I've created a new goal of reaching 119 pounds in April.

12/5/2007 3:36:58 PM
Let me extend a heart-felt thank-you to those who have written to express their approval of both my new hairstyle and the darker color.  Thanks.  I'm glad that so many like it.

12/3/2007 3:43:50 AM
Well, there it is finally.  A current pic taken on December first after a haircut.

12/2/2007 7:59:22 AM
I just attempted to upload a new photo.  I'm not sure how long it'll take to be approved.

12/1/2007 4:11:19 PM
I just got my hair cut today.  My husband says he likes it a lot, so I'll probably get him to take a new pic in a day or two.

11/30/2007 6:35:00 PM
Not that I haven't noticed before, but we have some real 'winners' on this site. LOL. Had one in NY writing me yesterday accusing me of being a guy because I don't have a webcam. That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've heard yet, and I've been here a while. I wonder how much luck he's having. I doubt the other girls appreciate his approach anymore than I did.

11/29/2007 3:42:51 PM
Well, unfortunately life handed me a few lemons, so I won't be making my weight goal for the New Year. However, this doesn't mean I'm giving up. My original intent was to be better at 30 than I was at 29. My birthday isn't until June, so I'm only halfway through the year come January 31st. I /will/ prevail! And yes, I'm still posting a new pic for the New Year. I did promise, after all, succeed or fail to meet my goal.

11/23/2007 2:26:02 PM
Well, I think that's it for the vacations for a while.  Now it's time to get serious again about establishing proper diet and exercise.  I'm behind my goal. 

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!

This month is just wonderfully full of little vacation delights.  It's great, because I've really  needed some stress relief.

This weekend is a long one, and we're taking a trip to Arkansas with a couple of friends.  And yes, there is a pattern... we'll be seeing a few National Park sites along the way.

10/28/2007 10:26:34 PM
To incure the wrath of jet lag is a very serious thing...

We're back.  It's after midnight and I'm exhausted but still running for some insane reason.  I'm VERY glad I had the foresight to take tomorrow off to try and recoup before returning to work.

San Francisco was awesome and we're definately going back for a longer stay sometime in the future.  Muir Woods rocks and so does Redwood National Park.  Point Reyes... we'll be back!  Oregon Caves is a wonderful little hidden gem of a National Park in southern Oregon.  Very nice!

10/19/2007 5:14:29 PM
It's vacation time!  Finally.

Where are we going?  To the west coast.  California, to be exact.  Neither Pup  nor I have been there before, and we're both deliriously excited.  We're getting up at 3am tomorrow in order to catch our early flight out.  I'm going to eat seafood til I keel over.

Hooray!

9/15/2007 12:17:51 PM
I'm making decent progess in my efforts to get into shape.  I dropped two pounds within a week of taking up running again.  I'm /thrilled/ about that!  The question is will I be able to reach 119 by the new year?  We shall see.

Next week I will be beginning a Spanish class as well as a drawing course.  I have some natural talent in the latter and feel that some instruction will only improve my skills.  This should be enjoyable.

9/4/2007 6:32:05 PM
Hola!

It's been a little while since I commented here.  I'm working on nine months at my job and I'm still working out.  And yes... I'm still planning on posting a new photo at the end of December no matter what my progress or lack thereof.  I think Pup may have found a track that I can start running on this week.  I'm excited about that.

8/2/2007 4:06:45 AM
Thank you to those of you who have had the concern and presence of mind to ask how my rehabilitation efforts are going.  Just for the sake of an update, I'm doing fairly well.  Still seeing my 'therapist' at 6:45 in the morning 3x a week.  Both knee and ankle are getting stronger gradually.

I still have no clue when they'll pronounce me sound enough for running again.

7/16/2007 4:12:53 AM
It's finally time.  I have a doctor's appointment today and one tomorrow concerning the injuries I sustained to my ankle and knee back in March.  I'm /hoping/ that they can figure out what's wrong and help me correct it.  I can't even tell you how much I've missed running!

7/3/2007 4:28:30 PM
Happy 4th of July, everyone!  ****

7/2/2007 4:19:02 PM
It's official -- I made it!  New job position's keeping me BUSY, but I think it'll be fine after a day or two.

7/1/2007 8:01:12 PM
Well... it would seem that my job is about to alter slightly as I pass my six months of probation tomorrow.  I'll be learning a new station.  Hopefully this'll go well.

Cheers.

A follow up to this morning's note:

Pup is back home and beginning on the recovery stage of his surgery.  So far so good.

6/22/2007 6:18:22 AM
Pup, my husband, is undergoing minor surgery in an hour.  I will be carefully nursing him over the weekend and will probably be around online when he's sleeping.

For the curious, it's just his gallbladder being removed.  Still, I worry.   I think the term 'routine surgery' is an oxymoron.

Tough day at work today.  Lost my temper multiple times -- but always privately.

Tomorrow I turn 30.  Farewell, 20's.

5/13/2007 10:26:12 AM
My thanks to those of you who have been kind enough to write and ask how things are going with our experiment.   I will say that not much has occured as of yet as far as the D/s goes in our relationship.  However, Pup has been busy trying to get us an opportunity to relocate outside of Texas.  So he has been understandably busy.

4/8/2007 6:38:58 AM
To quote a movie I liked when I was younger:

'It looks like the winds are changing...'

I'm going to be reworking my profile here on CM a bit since the situation in my household has begun to shift noticeably.  However, I think I can put the main point here for easy reading.

My husband (pup75 here on CM) has begun experimenting to see if we work out with him as my dominant.  This being the case, we will still be looking for friends and advise/ideas on CM, but not Doms.

3/21/2007 4:39:30 PM
And the results are in... it's rehabilitation time for me.  The doctor hath perscribed rehab for my ankle and knee.  I guess I'd better find my inner masochist, because rehab people are experts at torture... er, I mean, beneficial exercise and stretching.

3/20/2007 4:33:28 AM
Still keeping busy with my work.  Waiting impatiently for a couple of leg injuries to heal so that I can return to my regularly scheduled workouts.  At least, I hope they'll heal.  Been almost two weeks and neither has stopped giving me trouble.  Going to the doctor for the second time tomorrow.

1/6/2007 5:49:11 AM
New photo still in the works.  I need to find the memory chip for my camera.

In other news:  I've been really busy this past week due to a new full-time job that's kept me on my toes.  If I'm slow to respond to messages, that's why.

12/28/2006 4:00:54 PM
New photo coming soon.

12/25/2006 4:34:29 AM

MERRY
CHRISTMAS!!


12/20/2006 6:07:11 PM
Hello, again.

I'm still doing my part-time job and learning a few new tricks as I get more experience.

In other news, pup and I have begun speaking with a local couple.  It looks like the four of us have quite a few things in common.  This makes for interesting discussions.  :)

12/11/2006 11:29:34 AM

Someone wrote and told me that I was due for another journal entry.  Go figure.  :D

In recent news:  I got a part-time job on Friday, but it doesn't pay much.  At least it's something to do!


11/22/2006 5:44:46 AM

Happy Thanksgiving a day early.  Pup and I will be traveling to Houston to visit my parents and sibling for the holiday.  We'll be back on CM on Friday.

Best wishes to all for a very pleasant holiday.


11/19/2006 1:46:20 PM

It's been a little while since I last made an entry, so I figure that I must be about due. 
Last week I undertook the enormous project of dragging all the boxes out of our main closet and sorting through it to toss out junk.  I lightened our load considerably and our home is actually manageable. I'm glad.  I have abhored the incessent clutter for years now.

In other news... I am hoping to land a full-time job for myself soon.  Either that, or perhaps Pup will get a new position and we will finally move out of Texas.  Only time will tell which path we follow, I suppose.  Waiting seems to be the hard part.


9/28/2006 6:01:27 AM
Going to the beach!   pup75 and I are going to spend a couple of days practicing our birding skills and enjoying sun and sand.  Be back on CM either Friday night or Saturday.

9/19/2006 12:01:42 PM
I know that my profile says this, but I guess it won't hurt to make a note in the journal section as well.

If you are not interested in working with a submissive couple, please don't write to me.  I do not come separate from my husband.

8/15/2006 8:45:18 AM
I've noticed a trend lately and thought perhaps it might be wise to make a little note concerning it. 

Folks, if you find my profile interesting and wish to chat, please don't send me a note that says simply "If you want to chat, my yahoo is *****".  I receive a surprising amount of those, so I won't respond to someone who doesn't provide an interesting topic to go along with the invitation to chat.  If you want to chat, tell me what you want to talk about.  Otherwise, how can I tell if I want to talk with you or not?

7/21/2006 6:28:57 AM

I have returned.  We had an excellent trip to Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.  Visited 5 National Park Service locations, ate a lot of good food, and thoroughly enjoyed the biodiversity found in the mountains.  So much green compared to central Texas.  Gorgeous!


7/13/2006 6:55:48 AM
Just a note in case anyone notices that I'm gone.  I'm off traveling for a week and will make my way back to the CM fold on July 20th.

7/10/2006 8:50:20 AM

Thoughtful today, I guess...

I've been stuck in Texas for over 16 years and find myself struggling sometimes for patience.  We'll get out eventually, I know.  It's just a matter of time until pup can find a new position out of this state.  He's working on an application to one that will take us far north if he gets it.


I'm hoping that he does.  Perhaps more than I should, because I'll be sure to be disappointed if it doesn't work out.  But, oh... to see snow again.  I cannot help but hope.


6/5/2006 5:28:19 AM

Well... another year, another birthday.  It's June 5th today, which means I've adjusted my age from 28 to 29 in my profile.  :)


5/23/2006 2:04:53 PM
I have discovered something about myself that could prove useful to anyone that wishes to contact me with positive results.  And here it is...

When contacting me, please be aware that  proper spelling, capitalization, and punctuation DO matter.  If you send me a message that looks similar to this:

hi ur pic loks gr8

Don't expect anything beyond a reply that says simply:

Thanks.

5/9/2006 8:56:06 AM

I've been receiving quite a few messages from folks lately, and it would appear that some are having trouble understanding my profile.  So I'll simplify it a little here.  :)

Unless you're my husband, I'm not going to be having sex with you.  Period.

If you are interested in making friends, offering practical advise pertaining to my situation, or investigating the possibility of non-sexual related D/s dynamics... then by all means, drop me a message.

If you are just interested in seeing if you can get naked pictures of me.  Don't bother.  Save yourself the trouble.  The answer is NO.
