And We Are Back!




And we are back!

Wait?  Hold on a minute.  You did not miss us?  You did not realize we were even gone! 
Well, that is because we did a good job hiding it.

Actually, it was because of LOL days that you probably did not notice.  While away I was still able to check the comments and do blog hopping during the drive.  Then when we had a few minutes here or there I would try to check in as well.  It worked out well and I was very tickled with all the sweet comments.

A few of you may be wondering what in the world I have been up to.  Well, Hoss and I had a very lovely, much needed weekend away.  Let me share about it…

We left town on Friday and headed towards our destination of a lovely bed and breakfast.  This particular bed and breakfast has a little house that does double duty with one side as a massage area and the other as a romantic suite.  It is away from the main house, so thankfully we had lots of privacy. 

Friday evening, once all settled we met a friend for dinner.  Not just any friend though.  Hoss and I ventured out to meet one of my favorite bloggers, Cat. http://gigglesgrinsandreflections.blogspot.com.  I was so nervous and Hoss was so sweet.  He kept a lookout as we arrived first and when she arrived I was almost speechless.  That did not take long to remedy!  We chatted for way too long and even had a brief Facetime with Lindy over from Downunder Dreaming http://donwunderdreaming.blogspot.com sadly we were all having too hard a time hearing one another to Facetime long, but still was so happy to visit with both ladies. 

Cat was extremely considerate to Hoss, providing him (more than me), two new spanking implements (a lovely plastic cutting board and a spoon that read heat resistant to up to 400 degrees!)  as well as pop rocks.  Apparently, her plan was for Hoss to attempt to match the shade of red.  By the way, 400 degrees is not recommended for a spanking temperature just in case anyone was wondering!  Your loved one may very well be overdone at that point.  Just saying!  Not a fun game if you ask me.
I questioned the idea of pop rocks, but after quite a long pause (I was probably as red as our new implements) I was given the gist of what the pop rocks were for.  If you are interested and as naive as I am, ask Cat the answer to that one.  I’m not sharing.  Turning red again just thinking about it. 

We left only after Hoss informed us the wait staff was getting eager to leave (who closes at 8:30 on a Friday anyway?) and Hoss and I headed back to our bed and breakfast.  Well, after a bit of relaxation in the Jacuzzi we were headed off to bed.  The next morning we kept ourselves quite entertained as breakfast was not served until late (well, late for us early risers).  You would think on vacation we would sleep in.  That was not the case and after some fun with the flogger and a quick shower we were off for breakfast. 

No problem, right?  While enjoying our breakfast the owner asked if we needed anything.  I asked for our towels to be refreshed.  Nothing more.  Thinking they would bring some by when we returned from breakfast.  What did we stumble on as we returned to our room?  The owner cleaning up our room.  He was making our bed.  Hoss, being the sweet man he is, jumped in to help him.  I stood silently watching them both chatter away when my eyes wandered to the chair next to the bed.  Guess what lay there, folks?

The flogger. 

NOT, where we left it!  Yes, it had been on the bed.  I left the room for the en suite.  Um, fresh towels, check.  Bertha, Loopy and Cheese (Bea) visible on the top of our suitcase, check again!  I flushed a shade of red even my bum could not achieve even after a bad spanking and returned to see Hoss thanking the owner for the help.  The owner left and I turned to Hoss and said, “Can you believe it?” 

Hoss looked confused.

“Did you notice anything wrong?”

Hoss shook his head.

“Did you notice where the flogger is?”  The light dawned in his eyes and that man….that man of mine…..

He began to laugh! 

“No, you don’t understand!” I informed him, “We left the flogger on the bed!”

His laugh continued. 

“Do you want to know what’s worse?”  He shook his head.  “Bertha and the others are out in plain sight!” 

He really roared with laughter then.  Hoss just did not get it.  He was not embarrassed, but I was 50 shades of red at that point.
I shook my head thinking my man had lost it.  This was embarrassing, not funny.  I sent off a text to Cat hoping for a bit of understanding, perhaps, maybe a bit of sympathy.  Can you believe it!  She just laughed right along with Hoss! 
You are all laughing along too...well, maybe it is a teensy weensy bit funny.  Now, that I step away and think about it, I can enjoy a giggle too.  Just at the time, embarrassment had too firm a grasp on my thoughts.

The rest of our day was fairly uneventful and very restful.  We ate well, enjoyed one another’s company, had a bit of adult fun and I actually fell asleep early for once!  The next morning I was relieved to see the owners were not serving breakfast even though I had been careful to pack the toys away before leaving our room.  We then headed out for another visit with Cat. 
We were caught up with lunch, talking and the football game on tv.   We did talk ttwd/dd and I will inform you that it is not wise to let Cat explain what a barn burner is to an unknowing husband.  No, need to share why that is, but I can let you know it is totally an unnecessary conversation to have! 

It was a lovely weekend and I am so thankful we were able to have some downtime away.  I do want to thank those who took a few moments to stop by and wish us a happy LOL day.  I hope I was able to get around to everyone else’s place and say hello.  Thanks again to Hermione at Hermione’s Heart (http://hermionesheart.blogspot.com ) for hosting LOL Day #12. 

If, by chance, you did wanted to leave a comment and have not, I’m always here.  Well, not always, but I do check in regularly and I’m happy to meet an un-lurker anytime! 

Have a lovely day!

  4. Even though I knew this story prior to reading here, it had me laughing Baker. I could just imagine you turning 50 shades of red whilst your sweet man laughed his head off. I'm sure hotel staff are used to weird things happening all the time.
    Glad you were able to have a weekend away and meet up with Cat. Not sure about the barn burner conversation. Ouchies! It was so good being able to facetime you all. Pity about not being able to hear properly though.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
    Hugs Lindy xx

    1. Miss Lindy,
      You know I blush easily and it felt like I was blushing all weekend long! Geez, who knew pop rocks had multiple purposes! Between the pop rocks and the barn burner conversation I'd say I'm still blushing.

      You both are truly a blessing to have as friends!

  5. LOL Baker...and now ya know...I'm that friend you have to warn everyone about...she'll talk about anything and has a naughty and warped sense of humor. *snicker* Was lovely meeting up with you and Hoss...you are an adorable couple and it is so obvious how much in love you are...really touches my heart. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Wishing you and your crew a very Happy Thanksgiving. Oh and hope you're making extras for the Day After Turkey Soup. ;)

    Hugs and blessings...Cat

    1. Thank you so much, Cat! I just about bawled like a baby with your compliments! You are the best kind of friend: bold, truthful and silly/nutty wrapped up into one. I am very blessed to count you as a friend.

      Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Yes, all the extras are being prepared, my boys are more excited about the turkey soup then everything that comes before!

  6. Welcome back! YES you were missed. I can't believe you got to meet Cat. That's fantastic. And it sounds like you had a lot of fun in your room. I seriously doubt those toys came out just to decorate for the cleaning crew. Ha! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    1. I'm so thankful we are not alone in the hotel caper and I'm certain it gave them plenty to talk about! It was wonderful meeting Cat. I think the reason most of us blog is to connect with others in the lifestyle.
