I have updated the about me page: 

I love to read, scuba dive and build things and I have found out I have a kink side a mile wide.  A few of the current books I am reading or re-reading are Master /Slave by T.N. Morley.  I am re-reading all of the J.D. Robb (aka Nora Roberts) “in death” series from start to finish, I also peruse and read erotic literature from storiesonline.net as well.  I am a scuba diver and love to watch the life under the sea. (Especially the TURTLES!)  My earliest memories are of swimming lessons at age 3 and I have loved the water ever since then, whether it is swimming pool, hot tub, lake or ocean. (Maybe it’s because I am a Pisces?)  The latest building project completed was cross between a covered porch and a gazebo.  It was built so we would have somewhere to hang out in the hammock so that we could enjoy it in the snow or rain. The structure is large enough to hold the entire patio set (sans hammock because it would be in the way) or the outdoor furniture. (Did I mention that we have also built a deck out from the house, that connects to a lower deck and the hot tub and when finished next summer it will sport an outdoor kitchen and wood burning fireplace. I am married to a wonderful man and I have 3 wonderful children. (They are almost all grown and gone now, just one remains at home.) 

 UPDATE 3/5/08:

I have been reading Slavecraft by Guy Baldwin.  I finished all of the Laurell K. Hamilton  - Anita Blake stories that I started last month (All 15 of them)…now I have to wait until she writes more  .   I love vampire and werewolf stories, and these even had some BDSM mixed in as well.  I love good characters, and Laurel writes great characters.  I am now reading her Merry Gentry Series. 

SIR has been reading some amazing books as well.  The Master’s Manual: A Handbook of Erotic Dominance by Jack Rinella.

  When I told SIR about the title of this next book I was laughing so hard I was crying…How To Get Over That Bitch And Grow Balls They Can’t Resist: The Masculine Way To Love Leave And Attract Women” by Anthony Clark & Melanie Clark. So I ordered the book at his request…NOT MINE… and he loved it.  He laughed all the way through it.  And he said he learned something about the way women think.  I guess anything that helps with understanding how we think is a good book in my opinion.

We had also had read Protocol Handbook for the Leather Slave: Theory and Practice by Robert J. Rubel.  We were fortunate to see Mr. Ruble give a couple of presentations last year at Thunder in the Mountains.  We enjoyed his seminars very much he also has a book out called  Squirms, Screams and Squirts: Going from Great Sex to Extraordinary Sex .  It is a great read as well.

Master Skip Chasey was a presenter as well at Thunder last year as well, and I know that of all of the presentations/seminars we went to the one he did made the most impact on SIR understanding what it was I was trying to get across about M/s and D/s dynamics.  I wished he had books out there to read.  There were so many people at the seminar that they ran out of hand outs.  Some of us copied them to pass them on. He needs to write…he has a wealth of knowledge to share.

**************************************

As far as the vacation front goes…SIR and I have not made any plans yet for Diving so far but we will be attending Thunder in the Mountains again this year.  That much has been planned.   The building projects have simply been abandoned until spring is here and we can work outdoors without the threat of snow.  I am SOOOOOO ready for spring.  I want to finish the outdoor fireplace, and just hang out there and read on the deck and enjoy a glass of wine with SIR, or a Turkey and Coke at the end of the day.  I have plants all ready to go to transplant as soon as the weather is warm enough.  I have honeysuckle, jackman clematis, and concord grapes to grow up the fence and create a privacy fence.  The clematis/honeysuckle that I have in the front of the house grew so beautiful last year that I wanted to duplicate it along the privacy fence in the back yard. I am not sure the grapes will fruit, but I am looking forward to the vines and leaves.  We shall see.  If they do I am going to make jelly and jam.  (If you did not already know it…I am a country girl at heart and grew up on a farm…just because I live in the city now does not mean I have forgotten all of the lessons I learned early in life…) SIR however is a true city boy…LOL  me making Jelly should be an experience for him.
