Thursday Thirteen – 13 Things to Do with Whipping Cream

Okay… I’m writing this due to demand since I promised such a list a few weeks back. Come on folks, give me a break. This list was hard to put together. After a couple ideas and a few cans, I kept getting too distracted to continue. Sheesh!

1. Of course… top off some yummy chocolate pudding, or hot apple pie, or ice cream. Wait a minute. Come on now… let’s spice to it a tad!

2. Dip strawberries into whipping cream and feed them to your special someone.
Swirl the whipping cream upon the lips and lick off together.……


3. Make a whipping cream bikini
or matching whipping cream undies and lick them off each other.

4. Place cut up banana pieces, strawberries, pop rocks candy onto naked belly (or any body part of your choosing) add chocolate syrup then top with whipping cream. Allow your dear honey bunny to lick it off. If you’re daring, try this and add a scoop of ice cream. Wowza!

5. “Hershey's syrup, whipped cream, and a Catwoman mask.” – Men’s Health magazine. Okay…? Sorry, I can’t do the Catwoman mask thing.

6. Oh, you need the obvious idea? Then simply cover your partner’s hottest spots. You have to lick the cream away to get to the “goodies”. Duh.

7. Now this old album cover gives me a few ideas I simply can’t express in words. Hmm... here's another...

What’s an album? If you don’t know… you shouldn’t be reading this post.


8. Add some strawberry syrup to the whipping cream then put it in the freeze for a bit before placing dollops onto nipples. The flavor and the cold enhances the … uh… pleasure.

9. Need a little warmth while you play with all this whipping cream? Try this recipe: 1 cup heavy cream, whipped, add 1 ounce orange liqueur such as Grand Marnier, and whip together. Ladies - let your honey put this mixture wherever you might want him to pay a lot of attention to, cuz he’ll probably be there awhile.

10. Run a line of whipping cream along the backbone of your partner then slowly… I mean slowly lick it off. Don’t ever rush licking. A burp or gas of any kind can be rather embarrassing in a moment of passion.

11. Whipping cream, blindfold, handcuffs, and pineapple flavored edible warming oil. Need I say more?

12. Arm yourselves with cans of whipping cream; be sure to be naked, commence whipping cream war. Note: shower afterwards may be just as much fun as the war.

13. “Have your guy lie back comfortably on the bed; spray whipped cream from his naval to his upper thighs. Begin slowly licking it off the body areas above and below his package. After each lick, kiss his mouth with your lips covered in whipped cream, bring your mouth back below his belt. Slowly lick all the whipped cream off his body — except the cream directly covering his penis and testicles. Not until he’s aching should you finally indulge there.” – Cosmopolitan magazine. (Recommended by Laura Berman, PhD, sex therapist and creator of the DVD series Dr. Berman Can Help)


OHHHHHH…. HONEY….. I HAVE WHIPPING CREAM...

Thursday Thirteen – 13 Reasons to Smile

1. To show you’re happy.

2. Like yawns, smiles are contagious.
3. To do a simple act of kindness.

9. If you smile enough, you’ll start to believe your face.

10. You just took a deep breath and realized life is grand.
11. Because happiness is the result of being too busy to be miserable.

They Don't Make Guys Like Him Anymore!

Tanna Aldrick is the captain of a deep space salvage ship in the twenty-ninth century. When she and her all-female crew stumble upon an ancient ship floating in the middle of nowhere, they figure they might be able to find a few valuable tidbits left on the decrepit spacecraft. But what they discover is more valuable than anything they could have ever imagined finding – a gorgeous hunk of a man from the twenty-second century, perfectly preserved in cryogenic suspension. Mankind has changed a lot in seven-hundred years, and six-foot-four, blond-haired, blue-eyed guys like him aren’t just rare; they’re nonexistent. From the moment they revive him, Tanna finds herself falling for their handsome passenger. As logical as her reasons for not getting romantically involved with him are, however, she still finds herself inviting him into her bed.

Garrick Carlisle wakes up after seven-hundred years in hypersleep to find that everything and everyone he knew is gone. Lost and disconnected, the only thing that keeps him from completely losing it is the beautiful and sexy, dark-haired ship’s captain who rescued him.

Tanna isn’t the only person interested in Garrick, though. A man like him would bring a high price on the slave blocks on any number of planets and there are a lot of unscrupulous people in the galaxy willing to do anything to get their hands on him.

How far will Tanna go to protect her valuable cargo and what will Garrick do to stay with the woman he has come to love?

Thursday's Thirteen - To-Do List in Preparation for Honey’s Homecoming

After being gone for six weeks, my flyboy is home… but only for a week. *sigh*
Last Thursday I missed TT because I was too busy preparing for his homecoming. This week, I’m busy… well… cuz he’s home!

When I had a moment to spare, I sat at my computer to think of what to write for this week’s Thursday’s Thirteen when I noticed my To-Do list from last week, so I thought I’d share it with you.

To-Do List in Preparation for Honey’s Homecoming

1. Make arrangement for kids to stay with Grandparents for first couple days
2. Tidy house
3. Find good music channel on satellite TV
4. Pick up a bone to keep the dog busy and off the bed.
5. Candles – orange, spice- like scents and some Incense – rose, spice
6. Purchase some black lace panties
7. Three bottles of wine – two to drink, one to play with
8. Two cans of whipping cream. Will that be enough?
9. Fresh strawberries
10. Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Syrup
11. Two silk scarves (or the handcuffs? Ah.. I think I’ll go with the silk.)
12. Honey Dust and feathers
13. Variety of oils…. Hmmmm…

As always… wear something fun when you pick him up from the airport!

Thursday Thirteen – Things to Do for Your Honey When You’re Apart

There comes a time in every man's life when he's called away from home. Usually it's a business trip or it could even be a well planned hunting or fishing excursion with his buddies. Either way, he'll be without you and at times will feel lonely.

As a wife to a pilot, I'm used to my man being gone for periods at a time. Sometimes he was even out of the country; talking on the phone became expensive so we became creative with our communication skills. Here are a few ideas I’ve collected to make sure you're always on his mind. (No, I haven’t done them all!)

1. Write little suggestive notes or mini love letters and hide them in his luggage.
2. Sweets from his sweet. Think Hershey kisses or green M&M’s! Hide some of his favorite candy or snacks in his socks.
3. Spray a pair of panties with your favorite perfume, place them in a zip lock baggie and place them in his suitcase.
4. Put together a small photo album with sexy photos of yourself. It will remind him what he’s coming home to.
5. Hide a set of handcuffs or a silk scarf in his luggage and then play coy when he mentions his find.

6. Send him an email at the end of every day, letting him know what you did. Include the boring monotonous stuff. It will make him feel like his being included in your daily life and not so far away from your touch. Believe it or not, when you write about doing the laundry he’ll picture you bending over a pile and start thinking about your bum, your legs… and so one. He’ll finish reading your letter with a smile on his face.
7. Call him or leave a message on his phone to tell him you are thinking about him. Send him little posts on his IM.
8. Next time you talk on the phone, tell him what part of his body is your favorite and why.
9. Send him suggestive instant messages; tell him what you want to do to him right then.

10. Use webcams to talk to each other. Surprise him by wearing something he really likes or a slinky nightgown. Talk to him normal but use your body in sensual manners to entice him. If you’re able (no kids around), let the mood carry you away.
11. It’s fun to tell him what you want to do to him when he gets home; but it’s more fun to tease him with little hints during his entire time away. The build up is the most fun! Make sure you make arrangements for kids to be gone when your man gets home!
12. If you are bold, make a video of pleasuring yourself and send it to him.
13. If you’re even bolder… make a video of you pleasuring him before he leaves and send it to him.

Just remember the key to keep him thinking about you!

The following are some interesting reads I've come across recently (& yes, including some of my own)

For the May Queen
By Kate Evans

Norma's relationships with an array of characters induce her to grapple with society's messages about women, sex, and freedom. Ultimately Norma comes to see that there are many ways to live and love.




ForgottenBy Chelle Cordero
One of the last things a woman wants to hear from the man she is making love with is “Who are you?” When Brandon asks that of Caitlyn less than a day after their Las Vegas wedding, her life begins a wild and out-of-control spin. Even though Brandon can’t remember Caitlyn, Brandon can’t understand why he is so attracted to a woman that his fiancé tells him he has no right to be in love with. Forgotten is an unforgettable romance about two people who meet by chance, love by choice and are torn apart by intrigue. Their romance survives a foreign threat to national security, kidnapping, personal tragedy and a murder attempt.

Things change in April 2003 when he finds his mistress home with her lover. His actions create an uncomfortable situation between Daniel and Faridah as they sit trapped in a Nor'Easter in February 2006. Young Gabriel undergoes an identity crisis after meeting his son Abraham that same year. Maybe things would have been different if Minnie never talked to Sincere in September 2001.

These are the questions that Samantha Logan must face in "The Amoveo Legacy". A dream on her thirtieth birthday compels her to leave her artists loft in New York City and move back to the beach with her Grandmother, Nonie. However, the instant Samantha steps foot on the salty shores of her childhood home, she realizes the landscape has changed.




Beyond the Quiet

When Julie becomes the subject of an obsession, it puts both of their lives in extreme danger...




The House on the Shore
By Victoria Howard
When Anna MacDonald leaves Edinburgh to find peace in the Scottish Highlands, she gets a twofold surprise: a lost sailor teaches her to love again...while a mysterious stranger has plans to kill her.
