New Yoga Partner
My new girl hasn't figured out her manners while I do yoga outside on the deck.
She thinks its play time.
Once she found a bone to chew on and claimed a corner of the mat, i managed to complete my routine.
My Word of Intention for the day is BEAUTIFUL. I will look for the beauty of the day and try to share it with others.
What is your intention for the day?
Flyboy says his is to get put in the boat and to get moving do we can go.

#FetishFriday - Writing Handcuffs & Silk
Handcuffs & Silk started out as a sweet romance. A simple one night stand
between a lady cop and a lawyer sounded easy but somewhere along the line the characters
took over the story and sexed it up.
Bring out the leather and restraints...I was off to write about something
I had no idea about.
So what did I do?
What any good author does... RESEARCH. Here's where hubby has that Cheshire Cat
grin. No, really... I poured over books (fiction & non-fiction), interviewing various Doms and subs then let my imagination go.
I found the best help on the subject (other than personal interviews) turned out to be the online site Seekers. This site states, "D/s is a lifestyle choice, Domination and submission, where people live their lives opting by nature to be either Dominant or submissive. In a relationship the one complements the other and is based on the gift of submission, and absolute trust."
I must say this sight was not only helpful with my work, but I thought the owners handled the subject in a fundamental and kindly manner.
Writing Handcuffs & Silk became a whole new experience for me and opened a door I always thought was best kept closed. Not only am I becoming a better writer because of my research but I've also developed a sincere respect for my new friends who delve into this world. Hubby and I won't be visiting a dungeon any time soon, but he certainly enjoys being my "research assistant."
Never be afraid to ask questions,
the answers may amaze you.

Tasty Tuesday - Mrs. C's Chocolate Chip Cookies
I looked forward to making cookies at my best friend's house. Her mom used Oleo. I loved the smell of it. The recipe was an old family recipe. I think those are the best kind! Tried and true!
When Mom Carlyon passed away, she took the recipe with her.
I've spent some time in the kitchen being a mad scientist to figure out the actual recipe. My family never once complained about being "forced" into taste testing. My son's baseball team certainly didn't complain about getting the left overs.
Alas... I cracked the code.
Mom was certainly with me as I made this last batch.
Time to share. Can you smell them?

ungreased cookie sheets. I like to actually roll the dough into balls. I also used parchment paper lined cookie sheets. If the dough isn't firm, chill it in the fridge for a 30 min.

Seriously?
Nothing tops a bad day!
I ordered my favorite shoes in black.
The day they were delivered had been a sucky day. With excitement I tore into the package. Its shoes!
Only one shoe was in the box!
Are you kidding

Illegal Erections
I'm the township treasurer and we were short staffed today so I fielded a few calls.
One time I answered the phone: Montrose Twp, Mary speaking. How can you help me? I quickly corrected myself. The caller and i had a good laugh.
Later..
A resident called to complain that his neighbor was erecting a building on his property that didn't have a permit posted. He ranted for a few minutes so I put him on hold to transfer him to our new building inspector/code enforcer. Today was Bill's first day so I don't have his extension programed in my phone. I walked to his office to let him know he had a call.
Me: "Kevin Peterson is on the phone. He wants to talk to you about his neighbor's illegal erection."
Bill: turns beet red and struggles to hold back a smirk
Me: "That didn't sound right, did it?"
Bill: shakes his head and gives me a full smile.
I walked away like a boss thinking "I'm going to stick to counting money so I don't have to talk to people."
