Dr. Seuss - Spanko edition

I think I mentioned a few posts back, that Colin and I are going away again for the weekend. We'll be around lots of family and friends, so Submissive Saturday is going to have to wait until next weekend. I also decided to skip this weekends Submissive Saturday post, just because we put so many pictures up last weekend, that I figured we'd give it a break this weekend.

BUT - I have another fun post to put up today. Well, I think it's fun, hopefully you guys will agree. :)

Here's a spanko edition of Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham. Of course my title, is...

"Paddles and Canes."

I am Jane, Janes my name. Do you like paddles and canes?

I do not like them, Janes my name, I do not like paddles and canes.

Would you like them otk, would you like them in the month of May?

I would not like them otk, I would not like them in the month of May. I do not like them Janes my name, I do not like paddles and canes.

Would you like them panties down, would you like them while you're bound? 

I would not like them panties down, I would not like them while i'm bound. I would not like them otk, I would not like them in the month of May. I do not like paddles and canes, I do not like them Janes my name.

Would you like them when you're bad, would you or would that make you mad? 

Not when i'm bad. That would make me mad. Not panties down, not while i'm bound. Not otk, not in the month of May. I do not like paddles and canes, I do not like them Janes my name.

Would you, could you over the bed? Spank them, spank them, make them red. 

I would not, could not, over the bed.  Do not spank me, or make me red!

You may like them, you will see, you make like them, over my knee. 

Not over your knee, I would not could not, over your knee, not over the bed, you let me be!

While you count, while you count? Could you, would you, while you count?

Not while I count, not over the bed, not over your knee, Jane let me be! I would not, could not when i'm bad, after all it'd make me mad. I would not could not panties down, I would not could not while i'm bound. I will not like them otk, I will not like them in the month of May. I will not like paddles and canes, I will not like them Janes my name.

Ouch! Red or pink, red or pink, would you like it red or pink?

I would not like it red OR pink, I would not like it, that's what I think!

You do not like paddles and canes?

I do not like them, Janes my name!

Could you, would you, after the corner? Could you, would you, with Matt Bomer?

I could not, would not after the corner. But I could try it with Matt Bomer.

I do not like paddles and canes, I do not like them Janes my name!

You do not like them, so you say, try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I say!

Jane! If you will let me be, I will try them, you will see!

OUCH! I do like paddles and canes, I do like them, Janes my name! And I would like them after the corner, and most certainly with Matt Bomer. I would like them red AND pink, I would like them, that's what I think! I would like them when i'm bad, I would like them, it won't make me mad! And panties down, and while i'm bound. I will like them in the month of may, and I will them OTK!

I SO do like, paddles and canes! Thank you, thank you, Janes my name!

Okay, so maybe it's a little corny, but there you have it. Green Eggs and Ham, spanko style! Because after all, everything is better spanko style. :)

Need an excuse to get out of a spanking?

So we started boot camp this morning, and even though it got off to a rocky start, (i'll be writing more about that when boot camp is over and I can write about the whole thing) I think it's going to be really good for us.

Colin went out to do some errands that needed to be done, leaving me to write down all the rules/assignments of boot camp so that we have it written down and know what to do.  I got all that done, so I thought i'd write a fun entry.

I noticed on Lea's blog that she has written some fun things, and it gave me the idea to write this one.

Ya know how we sometimes just .. blank and do something that probably wasn't the best idea?  We'll then get that look, and right away try to come up with some kind of excuse?  Well, I figured i'd write a list of excuses for next time you need to get out of a spanking for any of these things.  Oh, and use them at your own risk, because if the spanking ends up being even harder because of it, I don't want anyone running back and blaming me for it. :p

Incident number 1: "The eye roll." Because, sometimes it just .. happens.
The Dom/HoH says: Did you really just roll your eyes at me? *Of course for them, they could use this as a cause for a spanking.*
Your response: I wasn't rolling my eyes, the ceiling is dirty and I was going to suggest you might want to clean it. :)

Did you just roll your eyes at me?

 Incident number 2: "NO!" Usually saying no to the Dom/HoH is not the smartest thing to do.  Whether it be when we're supposed to get into position for a spanking, go to the corner, or just being told what to do.
The Dom/HoH says: "Did you just tell me no?!"
Your response: Of course not.  You cut me off before I was done .. what I was trying to say was .. "No problem, Sir.. right away."

Incident number 3: "Turning around while in the corner, or not staying in the corner."  Because, come on .. it's not that simple to just stand there and stare at the wall.
The Dom/HoH says: "Did I tell you it was time to come out?" Or, "Did I say you could turn around?"
Your response: YOU try standing in the corner for 5 minutes, staring at a wall, and then tell me how easy it is ... that wasn't rhetorical you know, go ahead .. stand there.

Incident number 4: They ask you what they said would happen if you did ___ or didn't do ___.  I hate answering this one, so I try my best to avoid it.
The Dom/HoH says: "I'm waiting for an answer, what did I say would happen?"
Your response: Okay, lets work on this memory issue of yours .. i'm going to help you out this one time, but next time I expect you to remember on your own. :)

And that's that.  Trust me, I will not be saying any of these things or making any smart ass comments during this weekend.  Colin has really shown me that the boot camp thing is going to be taken seriously.  So now that I got the fun little post written and done, time to be serious about it.  Wish me luck!

As Mr. Christian Grey would say - Laters, Baby. :)

Not questioning him anymore. Plus a little bit of Christian Grey.

  *What I thought was going to be a quick little update, turned into a freakin novel, so if you'd rather just skim through, feel free.* :)

Had a long talk with Colin last night/today about ttwd and how to make it work.  He came home last night and I immediately was waiting for him to bring up the things I hadn't done.  In the wayyy beginning of this, i'd do little things to "test him" in a way, and I didn't want him to think me not doing a few things I was supposed to, was me testing him.  I've learned that as much as I have a tendency to want to push a little bit here and there, to see if he'll stick to things, it's probably the worst way to go about it.  I don't want to play head games, or purposely do something wrong - not the way I want this to go, i'd rather just be open and honest with him and also just trust him 100 percent.  Trust that he doesn't think this is stupid, and trust that he will step up to the dom-plate when it's necessary.

So anyway, when he came home and was complaining about how tired he was, yet wanted to watch an hour long show before bed (yet never so much as mentioned the rules or how I did with them - let alone any kind of consequence) I started to get a little annoyed.  In my head, that translated to:

"Ok.. well.. actions speak louder than words, and if he says there will be consequences, but doesn't SHOW any consequences, he must not really want this."  I guess for me, it was just such a hard, emotional thing for me to bring up ttwd/dd/ds/spanking, that sometimes I automatically go into that "he thinks this is stupid mode."  Last night was one of those nights.  I ended up having a little bit of a melt down, and kind of lost it.  Said some not so nice things, and went in the other room .. lightly slamming shutting the door of course.  I sat there for a bit, so annoyed at him for not sticking to the consequences, and then I get a text from him.  *He's right next door, in the other room, but I had told him I needed space for a bit.*  The text made me pretty much speechless, which is pretty rare for me.

Text from Colin: "Maybe you should go read your blog again."  And then he copied the part where I wrote about how I just need to give in and not just automatically run away from the situation, slamming the door as I go.

For some reason, that meant a lot to me.  I hadn't known he read the blog entry at that point, so it just showed me that he really does care, and he really does WANT this.  So anyway, after a long exhausting night of being upset and talking it out, we got to a pretty good place.  His whole thing was that he was so tired from working all day (the man works like a horse, and I respect the hell out of him for it) so he thought i'd need some 30 minute long spanking to prove he was going to step up.  I explained how that's not the case, and honestly all I needed from him, was something as simple as:

"So the rules weren't exactly followed today were they?  You're lucky, because i'm exhausted tonight, but that doesn't mean this will go unnoticed.  We'll deal with any punishments this weekend."

Sure, I think some spankings/punishments should happen on the spot, if possible, BUT I totally understand that life gets in the way and it can't always happen like that.  As long as I know he's not just all talk, i'll be fine.  So i'm done questioning his dominance, i'm done questioning whether or not he thinks this is stupid, and i'm done questioning whether or not he'll stick to punishments.  It's in his hands, he has my trust, I have faith in him, and that's that.  I say I want him to step up to the plate with him being dominant, well now it's time for me to step up to the plate when it comes to being submissive.  We both need to put effort into it, not just him.

Communication really is the key.  He told me that we'll be dealing with some of the issues tonight, which will include spanking, but the poor guy is still working, so if he's exhausted when he gets home, I want to let him know that if it needs to wait, it's fine by me.  I trust it will happen when he wants it to happen, and that's all I need.  Now, if he let it go for good, that'd be a different story.  I hate the way I talked to him last night, and the things I said to him, and honestly I do deserve a spanking for it - something he will not hear from me very often ;) - so as long as he handles it, rather than forgetting about it completely, then we'll be fine.  I'm starting to really believe this whole DD thing can work with us.  :)

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

And a video that I found today, which I thought was pretty funny .. hope you get a laugh out of it too!

*If you continue reading my blog, you'll come to realize that I have a huge crush on Matt Bomer/Christian Grey.  The book itself, not my favorite when it came to the writing or the way D/s was portrayed, but Christian on the other hand, especially when I envision him as Matt Bomer - um, yum.  So here's a little CG/MB eye candy!*

Tell me this is not Mr.Grey...
