Implement Help & Sore Car Rides.

I finally have time to write a real post! Yay. I also had time to catch up with lots of blogs, so i'm happy about that. It's crazy how much i've missed writing in/reading other blogs.

So, where to begin. Colin and I are doing alright. DD has been somewhat missing in certain aspects lately, but i'm trying not to dwell on it, and just realize that there seem to be ups and downs all the time, and hopefully this down will turn into a big up soon.

There was a little incident the other day, where I kinda fibbed, ok ok .. I guess lied.. to him. That's a big no-no.

There's this concert that I saw an ad for and I realllllyyyy wanted to go. Badly. First of all, one of the main performers NEVER comes to the east coast. EVER. On top of that, it's a country concert, with two performers I love. It's an all day event which is just so much fun. I mean, come on. Country music. Cowboy Boots. Summer dresses. HOT cowboys. How am I supposed to resist?

Tickets were also cheap, 40 bucks a piece! So what's the problem? Welllllll, just so happens that even though the concert is on the east coast, it's still a 5 1/2 hour drive. Kind of a pain. So I decided to call Colin and ask about the concert.

Me: Hunni, would you be opposed to going to a concert 3 or 4 hours away?
Colin: Probably not, what are the details?

*Note the wording of the question. I asked him if he'd be opposed to going to a concert 3 or 4 hours away - I didn't necessarily say that was the one I was talking about. Ok, I tried to justify it in my head - didn't work.

I gave him all the details, he said he was really excited and to get the tickets! Now in my defense, he asked me where the concert was and I told him it was in Massachusetts. I was so excited that when I was looking at the location, I honestly thought it said MA, when it really said MD. Uh-Oh. Marylands a big difference from Mass, distance wise, which is why he didn't question me saying it was 3 hours away at first.

So, yes I knew it was 5 and a half hours when I told him it was 3 or 4, but I didn't realize I made the MD/MA mess up.

Later on that night, the conversation went something like this.

C: We should Probably get a hotel for the night while were there, what's the name of the town?
K: Good idea. Hm let me look it up.. um, hun, shit .. don't be mad. It's not MA, it's MD. 
C: Kenzie, you realize Marylands like 6 hours away right?
K: No way, here i'll mapquest it. (In my head im thinking shit, I already mapquested it..) Well .. um, yea it does say five and a half hours.. and to be honest, I kinda knew how far it was already, I just didn't put two and two together with the whole Maryland vs Mass thing.
C: So you knew it was five and a half hours, and told me it was 3?
K: Well.. I said 3.. OR 4. And you were fine with that, didn't think less than two hours would make a big difference!

He didn't do much talking after that. He let our new implements do the talking. :(

The only good thing was that our new cane broke before he even really used it, so hopefully we'll be able to get a refund or exchange. Aside from that, he used the new tawse, and the loops johnny, both of which actually barely stung. I have no clue how that's possible! I was (as weird as this is) strangely disappointed, because I actually thought they'd be very effective implements for discipline, but um .. not so much. Our new paddle though? That thing needs to find a new home.

Any takers? Free paddle up for grabs. I'll even pay the shipping costs, that's how nice I am. :)

Really though, that thing sucks. Big time. He also decided to use the strap we've had for a while .. HATE that damn thing.

Later that night, I ended up telling him I actually didn't think it was what I deserved for lying. I expected it to be a little more .. severe. How crazy am I? I'll certainly be regretting that Saturday morning before we leave for the concert.

He told me i'll be getting a spanking before we go, AND THEN on top of that, meanie that he is, he'll be applying capcaisain cream after the spanking. That is going to be one very uncomfortable 5 and a half hour car ride. I have to admit, the punishment does kind of fit the crime - i'm sure i'll realize the difference between 3 to 4 hours, and 5 and a half hours.

The more I think about it, the more I realize how badly this is going to suck. And yes, I realize earlier I said things with DD weren't going so smoothly, but I think that's mainly because so far this punishment has been all talk. If and when it happens, then maybe i'll realize he isn't lacking in the consistency department.

Other than that, i've been pretty disrespectful and snappy towards him lately, and I don't like it. For some reason, it just comes out sometimes. I say something, realize it was SO not the right thing, but then, he doesn't even really do anything.

In my head, the disrespect comes out, and I expect to be pulled over his knee, but that hasn't really happened yet. He'll realize later that day that I should be punished, and he'll let me know a punishment is coming, but sometimes I feel like it should be on the spot. In the moment. I guess I just feel like, in certain situations, it'd be even more effective that way. I told him that though, and he said he agrees and he's going to work on that, so I trust in him that he will.

I also have to write lines tonight for something that happened a few days ago. Disrespect again. It's only two pages, but even that's a lot. I haaate lines. I read on another blog something extra that was added to her line writing punishment, and I thought if Colin used that as part of the punishment it'd be SOO effective, but at the same time, i'm not sure I want him to know about it - so I won't go into details.

This is probably crazy too, but like I said earlier, we were both a little let down that 3 out of 4 of the new implements we ordered really weren't that effective, so he wanted me to ask if anyone has any advice on effective implements. I know it's different for everyone, but i've heard a tawse can be very effective, so i'm thinking maybe we just couldn't get the proper one? I saw a few things on this site that looked effective, but they're pretty pricey so I thought i'd see if anyone had any thoughts before ordering them.

The site is http://leatherthorn.homestead.com/ENTER.html and the two that stuck out to us, were their tawse, and the "Imp-Lament." If anyone has any thoughts on those, that'd be great. Or maybe a really 'good' old fashioned wooden hairbrush? A paddle that's something different than the typical one, or the one above? Or an effective leather paddle? An effective leather paddle would be great. Any advice would be awesome. Even though it's a possibility i'll be kicking myself later for asking.

I realllllyyyy don't want to do these lines, but Colin is on his way home, so I need to get started!
