With Thanksgiving just around the corner I thought I'd share one of my favorite recipes. Now I know not everybody loves the cranberry sauce. It's one of those things that you either hate or love. I'm one of those that love it. Those of you who hate it, don't spank me just yet, I'll put up some more holiday recipes soon.
I've been trying to eat healthier and so I've been experimenting in the kitchen quite a bit. I hate giving up the foods I love, so I've tweaked a lot of my favorites. Enjoy.

A Spanking Buzz ?

Thinking back to when I came out of the spanking closet so to speak, I remember wondering if there was something wrong with me. Now that I've been an active member of the spanking community for about 3 years, it's an amusing thought. I also remember the nervousness and excitement moments before that first adult spanking.What if this has all just been a fascination with the idea ? My worries soon were replaced with my first "spanking buzz."
Once positioned across his lap, I looked over my shoulder at Tom and I asked this question; "How can you tell if your really into it ? " His answer; You either love it or you don't. Little did he know what spanking passions he was stirring up in that first meeting ! I fell in love with the sensations that a spanking can produce. Of course the playful or more sensual smacks are my favorites. However I have come to realize the discipline spankings provide a different type of secure and cared for feeling. I respect that not all who participate in spanking share a desire for discipline. It's not my place to say that your less of a spanko if you only like one kind of spanking. Just my opinion, but we are all in the same spanking boat-just some of us paddle differently ;) Some of us like fun & fruity alcohol while others prefer the hard stuff. A spanking buzz is much more healthy though...;)

Have you ever craved a spanking so badly that you could not focus on anything else ?
Much like my craving for chocolate or coffee, nothing else will satisfy that hunger. Laying down, imagining that your skin is making contact with a strong hand. Slowly your cheeks are a warm and blushing shade of pink. The sting is of the perfect intensity. Fingers cross lightly across your bottom. Goosebumps rise as you await more. He indulges your desire, just enough to leave you wanting more. Again you feel the heat beginning to build and you hear yourself whimper and then sigh as his hand travels across your stinging cheeks. Soothing yet teasing. Oh the bliss...
The things that go on in my lil' head....;)

How about we just name this photo and update a combo. It's from the "Amber Archives" and was taken after a real discipline spanking. My bottom was the same color this past weekend and yes...it was for correction purposes. It had been quite some time since any type of accountability has taken place other than for video's. For awhile it did not bother me, but I have seen some changes about myself that I do not like. Now I know that as an adult, I have the power and choice to take care of myself and make positive choices, blah blah blah. I'm a true spanko and when I suddenly never know when to count on my bottom receiving a sound spanking ...well I went on a roller coaster with my behavior. Now don't get too excited, I didn't do anything terribly naughty, but the temptation was there, trust me. Knowing that I could do whatever & whenever without anyone caring either way, well why not ? But being the true spanko I am, I also felt neglected in a way. Someone caring enough to help me with problem areas, motivate me when I could care less etc. was hard to count on one day and then slowly it not be there at all. Several weeks ago, after a heart to heart talk, I admitted that the absence of discipline was bothering me . Tom, a.k.a. WP, agreed that this was something that had been lacking. Be careful what you ask for.
I was told that my earned spanking would take place on Saturday. I was nervous, a bit surprising to me, but I honestly had butterflies. The same feeling that I had when I was younger and agreed to ride the cliff hanger at Six Flags. I waited almost an hour in line, biting my thumb nail, partially grateful that the number of victims ahead of me seemed never ending. Then there was that other part of me that just wanted to get it over with already. When I awoke Saturday morning my first thought was; I need coffee. The second thought was; I'm getting spanked today, and it's not for fun or stress relief. No warm up. A few hours later I was lying on my tummy over two pillows. Even though this position is physically more comfy, it gives just as vulnerable a feeling for my bottom as any other. I was asked if I was ready. Now please tell me why the person wielding the implement asks that question. If I were to answer; "No give me half an hour and then maybe..." I don't think that would improve my predicament at all.
The first part of my punishment began with a leather strap and my jeans and panties ordered to be pulled down. I thought it in my best interest to comply. As soon as the first lick landed my feet betrayed me and up they came. It's a reflex reaction -honest. But I was told rather sternly to put them down. I only had to be told once. Luckily part of my spanking was done over my jeans but when it is wood or the lexan -it still hurts ! My bottom was plenty sore and even after the soreness had began to fade, there was a sting that lingered for hours. My bottom reminded every time I had to scoot to get out of the vehicle the rest of the day. Lesson learned...until next time. I don't make promises I can't keep. Now that's being a good girl isn't it ?

Spanked In The Great Outdoors

Spanked in the Great Outdoors indeed !
Gee, I was just on the phone for a little bit, it's not like the housework was going anywhere. Besides, it would be more of an offense to let such a pretty day go to waste having to stay in don't you think ?
Once I heard the all too familiar sound of a belt coming off though, the outdoors had suddenly lost it's appeal. Amateur Spankings is determined to teach me another lesson...
