Please forgive me in advance,,,, i am whining ~grinning~
my computer does not seem to be doing very well and every day something else goes wrong, and it is a PITA!!! (email me privately if you don't recognize it *wg*) And, to dutifully reflect the status of my "life" at the moment in addition to the computer being inconsistent at best, my house is a shambles and my kids are, quite literally, snot nosed brats and i am so stressed out that i can hardly keep my eyes open because it seems my body response to stress is to pass out. Grrrr!!!

~whew~ that feels better! Anyway, i have not actually been very slave-like in action lately... Mistress has been away caring for other concerns and i have been left much to my own recognicance. ~teasing pout at Mistress~

And, i hope that everyone is having a wonderful spring and asking that everyone cross their fingers for me and send blessings to the great AKC god regarding my Toy Manchester Terrier, Ebony Angel, in hopes of winning the points that we need in order to champion her... her hubby, Ch. Guinness Black Gold is waiting!!!

Happy Easter, Aall... many blessings upon you and your families!
~warm smile~

My, how time flies (or drags, as the case may be ) when one is fighting the throes of Seasonal Affective Disorder... i have been alternating between long, depressed sleeps and hyperactive work spurts... and nothing seemed to matter either way... thank God for the coming of the Sun and genuine signs of Spring!!! i may actually become a real person again any time soon ~sunny grin~
And... as for life, it is going fairly well *smile* Benjamin is now an EXTREMELY active 14-month-old who is all hands, and must have 20 of them! He is a fairly happy being the majority of the time, chatting constantly amongst himself, frequently breaking into his conversation to ask me "Whassat, whassat?" then breaking away altogether yelling "Goochie, goochie, goochie, ticka ticka!"
Today, my friend evil one is visiting from the TriCities area and we went out to lunch, then stopped by the house so that she could use the phone and i ran upstairs to check my messages on the computer. When i got back downstairs, Benjamin was growling as though he was possessed, then asking "Whassat?" in the growl, and then looking at evil one and cracking up with gale upon gale of laughter. i could not figure out what on earth was wrong with him, but then she let the cat out of the bag, asking him in her best "commercial" voice... "Whasssup?" Damn it, grrl! What on earth were you thinking! People are going to think he needs to be exorcised!! LoL
And, there has not been a lot happening otherwise on the home front. Mistress has been extremely busy with multitudes of appointments with lawyers, doctors, and in between times we have been working very hard on Master Eddie's house in order to get it into condition for sale, which is a very discouraging and heartbreaking thing... He is losing everything He has ever worked toward just to prove His innocence because He placed His trust in a wrong person... Please, everyone... take the time to get to know a person before trusting them, and, above all, listen to and trust your gut instincts about things? Your life is at stake every time you give your trust to another, in more ways than one!
And, now that i am back amongst the living, i will, once again attempt to pay more attention to this poor, neglected web site... So, let me know you are there and, as always, play Safe, Sane, and Consensually!! ~smile~

~smile~ Hi all... it has been quite a lapse, and i apologize. There have been a number of things happening in Oour lives recently that are extremely frustrating and to a great extent are out of our control, which is even more frustrating ~smile~
Without discussing details, which i do not have anyway, Master Eddie, a dear friend of mine who is also the founder of the local BDSM munch group, has been arrested and is being charged with assisting in the kidnapping and rape of two young women locally. After all of the time He has taught me, and about 150 other people in the group, about Safe, Sane, and Consensual play, it is difficult to even conceive that anyone would even consider these charges a possibility, and i have known from the beginning that they are not true. However, showing this to the world will be another challenge altogether
~sad smile~

But, in the publicity that has accompanied His arrest and with the criticism about the "sex club" and "orgy parties" (that i have somehow been left out of ~laughing~) that the news is telling the public about, i have come to do some pretty critical self-examination about MY part in the lifestyle and why i am a part of the lifestyle at all.

What DOES make me a slave and Mistress the Domme? Why am i not only willing, but eager to give Her my all? What could possibly be wrong with me, as my family is bound to ask me soon, because hiding my involvement in the lifestyle has just become rather impossible. How do i answer to the people i love that i am a slave and that the reason i am a slave is because i was born that way and it is the only thing that makes any sense to me at all? It has started already, with a dear, respected friend who is a member of an older generation telling me that it was about time my Friends and i got our heads on straight and quit the BS. It took me by surprise and i didn't have an answer for her other than... thank God i finally DID get my head on straight and begin living the lifestyle. All i could tell her were the results... that i am now human for the first time in my nearly 40 years, and that i am genuinely happy with the same time frame. But, i couldn't tell her "why" i am a slave, and that bothers me a little bit... so, i am delving into my psyche and trying to derive the answer... but, if anyone happens to know right off, i would appreciate a "fix" ~grin~

Anyway, i hope that EVERYONE had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that the holiday season is full of joy and peace for all. Please let me know that you are all still out there ~smile~

Mistress, i have been working on a web page to present to You tomorrow for Your birthday and Oour anniversary... but something has just not been coming out "right" and i have been getting very frustrated with myself over it. And ~hanging my head in shame~ yesterday it hit me what is wrong with it... it is all about me, my feelings, my wants. ~crying~ i am a very selfish person, Mistress... i have been working for months and months on this composition because i wanted to give to You something very special, and instead it appears that i have been doting on *my* perception of how i should be and where i should be... not upon You as it should be.

and now, i have nothing more to offer You than this poor excuse for a slave, one that You already own at that...

~sigh~ i will try, Mistress, to learn to listen to You more closely, to Your wants and needs. i have so much yet to learn about being Yours. Thank You, Mistress, for everything that You do for me and for still being willing to work with me. i still feel, at times, that i am not worthy of You, but know that i AM worthy for i continue to be Yours.

i know that You will be my guide and i trust that You will do what is right for me WHEN it is right for me. So... the gift that i *hope* to give You this year will be the *patience* that i need to learn in order for my submission to become complete, because that is the gift that i wished to give to You originally.

and, please accept the following page in the spirit which it was meant to be, not as it turned out. ~smile~

Very humbly Yours,
nasti[MzR]

"The Look"
~grinning~ i am wondering, how many submissives out there know exactly the chill up the spine that comes along with "the Look." i am betting quite a few, LoL! It seems to be quite popular among the Dom'mes here 'bouts anyway... The feeling is somewhere between fear and delight, and the balance of the two seems to depend on how "bad" you were to have "earned" it in the first place...
Well, i have had an abundance of the bordering on fear kind of chills today following the weekend from hell. Let me back up a bit... i have had gallbladder pain off and on for the last couple of months now ~cringing at a glance from Mistress~ alright! pretty much constantly for about six or seven months then... well, Saturday it all came to a head and the pain woke me up out of a dead sleep and sent me packing to the ER pretty quickly for a good five hour "sit and wait." ~grumbling~ they took my blood, ran the liver function tests, weren't happy with the original values so then ran them again, twice, from the same blood, until they got values they "could" live with in order to send me home--now, it seems to me that since it was my gallbladder/liver that was hurting, there is somthing just a bit "wrong" with that, but i guess it keeps the insurance companies happy.
So, Sunday morning rolled around about two hours after i got home and i "confessed" the trip to Mistress and "discovered" rather quickly under ~The "extremely pointed" Look~ that it would have been a MUCH better idea to have called DURING the visit rather than waiting...
~hanging my head~ i am sorry Mistress, i didn't mean to worry You.
Then, Sunday night Benjamin woke up with croup so bad He damn near was not able to breathe. Talk about scary! i really thought that He might quit breathing at any point all the way to the ER. The doctor said, "Hey, don't I know you?" Geez, two nights in a row! THIS time, i did call though and Mistress was kind enough to come and sit with us for another "forever wait."
Thank You, Ma'am... it was very nice having You there.
But... because i have put off so long my "health" problems and may tend to down play them to the doctor just a tad, Mistress did me the honor of accompanying me to the followup doctor's appointment today and, ~still squirming~ proceeded to tell my doctor, who happens also to be a personal friend, about ALL of my aches and pains and habits of not eating or sleeping (BTW, nice catch, misty! ~grin~) and i ended up sitting there with BOTH of them giving me worse than "The Look" because it was accompanied by "The Dualing Lecture" (to which i was rarely invited to contribute except to perhaps dig myself in deeper, and the gleam in both of their eyes told me that they both seemed to be enjoying rather immensely having me on the spot quite literally while discussing my shortcomings) and now, as a result of said discussion i "get" to go to an entire variety of extra appointments with a surgeon and a dentist and a medication specialist... ~frown~ but, i am telling you, i honestly feel lots better and it hardly hurts at all anymore! ~pout~
And... ~humble smile~ Thank You, Mistress, for taking care of me. It is still very hard to believe that somebody cares enough for me to take the time to make me do things right. i truly appreciate Your guidance, and i am very, actually no, i am ~extremely~ lucky to be Yours. i wouldn't trade a single "Look" from You for the world.
~lovingly Yours~ *me[You]

Thursday?? Where did Wednesday go! Damn... the weeks seem to have gained momentum on the downhill side of 2000! (oops... dang! i mean... sorry Mistress ~hopeful smile~?!)
(did anybody else notice a lack of a Wednesday this week?)
But, anyway, things are definitely looking up for me i think... Sir Benjamin's third "close to the surface" tooth finally broke through today and He is in a much better mood at any rate... he currently has one lower and now the two upper coming in. We played ~hide and seek-BOO!~ with the covers today during nap time and once He caught on He had a blast! He is just so funny when he gets to laughing... it is genuine ROFL laughter, and it is contageously great! i wish i could record it to share with you ~smile~ but then, He has been laughing since He was 2 weeks old at which time he started giggling in his sleep... what on earth does a 2-week-old baby dream, much less giggle about!??

Oh! i nearly forgot...
LoL! i wear my collar and my cuffs pretty much full time now, and have never really had anybody say anything more than "interesting necklace" to me in the six months that i have been doing this. The collar i wear is one that Mistress made and is a beautifully tooled black leather with three rings, one placed in the center and one to either side of my neck. Between the rings is a loosely draped gold chain with slave bells measuring the length, and in the center are two dangling strands of chain with bells on the ends. It is pretty elaborate and i am very proud of it ~smile~ Well, i was standing in the checkout lane the other afternoon attempting to keep Benjamin amused because He was getting cranky when he began flirting with the old woman standing behind us and she began making goo-goo faces at him, so we started a mini-conversation about babies and their merits (i couldn't think of any redeeming values myself at that point ~grinning~) All of a sudden in the middle of our conversation she burst out with, "MY that is a strange thing you are wearing on your neck!!" LoL!! So, having prepared for this circumstance a hundred times in my head, i smiled at her and said "Well, thank you! my Significant Other made it for me!" and watched the changes in her face as that sunk in and what she actually said was "Oh! how nice!" as she reached out to touch my arm with a small smile, but i could tell she was thinking "OMG! You poor brave dear! I feel so sorry for you... couldn't you have taken it off in the car or something???" ROFL!

Whew... am i ever glad that 'wave' of fear and doubt is over! Ick!!
And, i just wanted to let you all know that i feel much better this morning. The support that i have received in the last day or so
has been wonderful and is also a bit humbling.
i had no idea anyone was "listening"
~touched blush~
Thank you.

This weekend was hard for me... it was the first munch i have been to in over a year when Mistress was not able to attend, and i almost couldn't go in. It is pretty silly, really... for the first time in forever i actually felt insecure about myself and who i am. Unfortunately, that seems to have opened an entire floodgate of self-doubt. Today i couldn't even tell you with any confidence that i am capable of being submissive, much less a slave... but i guess i am hoping that my future "acheivements" will mean more to me having had a set back or two... but, what if i honestly have been lying not only to myself about my feelings, which would be bad enough, but to Mistress as well? ...it is too much to think about! i think i would die of guilt and know that it would cost me my collar, and that would kill me!

i guess my "attention" level is showing... i meant to make regular notes here and somehow it seems that two weeks have escaped since my last note! It has been a rough week for me overall, i am trying to step up my work production and am following a schedule, which is something totally new to me... suffice to say, it has not been easy!
~smiling at Mistress~

Two years ago tomorrow marks the beginning of this leg of my journey in life. That is the day i lost my baby, Woody, during the fifth month of pregancy to an umbilical cord accident. If i hadn't had these desires, and if i hadn't stumbled upon and started exploring my way through the BDSM sections of the internet over the next couple of days, i seriously do not believe that i would have survived that loss emotionally.

The "awakening" overcame the grief, and i began to grow in leaps in bounds. i was lucky enough not only to discover that my cravings had a name... but there was a group of people within 10 miles of me who held monthly functions and had a community list on the internet that i subscribed to, and i was immediately welcomed when i joined it... as i started to watch their interaction with one another on the list and began to communicate with a few of them privately, i began to understand about base honesty, trust and respect. These people, whom i had never met in person, were the most honest, respectful people i had ever met. They accepted me, they listened to me, heard my fears and somehow even got me to confront my inner desires. And, instead of making fun of me and pointing fingers, they welcomed me. And it felt better than good, it felt right. ~grinning~ and the rest is history!

And, since i can't say it out loud anywhere else... Happy birthday, Woody... i love and miss you.

October 10, 2000
i think there is something seriously wrong with me... i woke up this morning with an incredible urge to learn to play the piano... like i need yet another time consuming thing in my life!!! i must be crazy!!! :::making a note to call my psychiatrist::: ~grinning~

October 9, 2000
LoL! Benjamin threw a high-chair temper tantrum for the first time and i am afraid that we were so surprised and it was so funny instead of getting after him we all just sat and laughed... but i promise it will be corrected the next time ~grin~ i made a hamburger/noodle goulash type thing for dinner and put his in a bowl. He sat in his high chair near between the rocking chair where ben was sitting and the couch where i was sitting and i gave him a spoon to try to use... it was the first time i have given him one without maintaining most of the control... and he was delighted and was having a great time hitting the bowl with it and the tray and whatever else he could and it was just wonderful noise mom! between sucking on the spoon (without any food on it of course) and we were trying to talk so finally i asked Franklin to get the spoon from him so that he would settle and eat... Franklin walked up to the tray and said, Benjamin, can i have that? and benjamin showed it to him and franklin slipped it out of his hand and walked towards the kitchen with it (ROFLMAO) and benjamin turned and looked at me to see if i had noticed the FrankenBrother stealing his spoon and what was i going to do about it and he had this look of abject HORROR on his face and Hahahahahaaaa... His face kind of dissolved into an "I am very sad because i have lost my best spoon friend VS. DAMN! i am pissed because it was stolen right out of my hand" sobbing wail and he screamed and threw out his hands to slap them on the tray and actually accidentally pushed the bowl over the front and it was just hilarious... Hehehhehee... i thought about getting after him but i just couldn't this time, especially not when we were all sitting there laughing. His face was so funny! I did manage to exclaim "Benjamin!" but we ended up giving him the spoon back and just putting the food directly on the tray so that there wouldn't be any more clinking ~grin~

October 8, 2000
At the moment, as i try to catch up with all of these damned ideas floating about in my head i begin to wonder if i truly have gone insane because i don't think there is EVER going to be a way to do the things i would like to have done here already!!
