January Roll Call - 1/1/2010 9:38:34 PM

I didn't see one yet... so I had to start one, it is a new year afterall... heck it is a new decade.. How do you want to call it though? 2000 and 10, or twenty-10? I prefer the latter myself..

Anyways... with the new year brings new hopes. My Mistress and I had a really rough year this past year, with lots of deaths in the family, family issues, and a whole lot of drama. But I'm looking forward to this new year, serving my Mistress, helping her though these tough times and just in general am so grateful that she is part of my life, I am so blessed and lucky to have her. You know how they say that new relationship spark fades after 6 months or so? I call a load of bull, its been 3 years and I still get my jitters, the lump in my throat, and my heart thundering against my chest so loud I think it'll explode sometimes.

And of course, with the new year, comes some new years resolutions: What are some of your new years resolutions?

I want to get back in shape, and pick up a new hobby. I'm trying to get into the music thing and perhaps start to make some of my own little beats and tracks. I also want to be a little more careful with what I eat, and to learn how to cook some delicious home-cooked meals.

I wish everybody the most wonderful of times, and I hope the New Year brings in many blessings to you all =)

Here's hoping your year is better than the last Araven. I can totally relate, had a co-worker killed by her ex, realized the love of my life, married him and had to send him off two weeks later for deployment. I guess the first resolution is to stop whining about him not being here...I apologise to all...first time wife, first time military wife has turned me into a fulltime whiner...lol not to mention some other ups and downs last year.

I want to get back into shape. I'm going to get back into that chamber and not only finish it but put together that f**** bondage frame that's already fallen on my feet and get it all together before he returns. Going to have this house as perfect as possible so it will be a good warm home for hubbies return. Give him the greatest welcome home ever.

Number one: I plan on smothering my slave husband with love and affection when he returns from deployment.

oh, do I need to mention my husband again?....LOL

ok I'll quit..lol

Congrats to the two previous posters: nice to hear some happily-ever-aftering.

Started with similar resolutions: did the hour on the elliptical today, sinbinned the holiday sweets, and am also looking for a new hobby/course to fit in between travels.

So if only finding the new subbie were as easy! But every day is full of possibilities and good and lovely men.

Happy Twenty-Ten to all!

Well, as I mentioned last month, we have a boy that we're seeing where things go - I thought he was going to be here by now, but he's not arriving until tomorrow ... blarg.

Work is still totally and completely chaotic - but at least I'm well medicated this year, so it could definitely be worse. I'm really hoping that the year gets less stressful as we figure out how things are going to work at the new facility.

Beyond that, we sold the last of the Bull-Boxer puppies that we were trying to find homes for, and we feel secure that they have found good homes ... and if not, they are all microchipped to us so if they are dumped, we'll get them back. We've all be sick off and on over the last month or so, but it looks like we're finally getting over that nonsense.

I hope for everyone that this year is better than the last

I just got a divorce, final Dec 21st.. so this new year, I have to move and find a better job. Like everyone else... I want to be in better shape and eat healthier. Finding a sub would be very nice too. Lots on my list.

In 2 days I go back to work. In 3 days I go back to school 2 evenings a week. This will take up about 60 hours of my week in the begining but about 80 hours a week by the end of the month. *Deep breath*

I think the objective is to stay sane :-)

I don't -do- resolutions, but my body-related goal for the year is to take off another 50 lbs before I head back to NC and develop a consistent fitness program that I can take with me when I move.

I have two offspring graduating from high-school this year, so getting them through this last semester will be a biggie (even though they're both adults, they still need the occasional guiding hand... sometimes firmer than others). I'm moving in six months, so my immediate goal is to start packing. I really don't want to leave it for the last minute, and I'd rather spend a couple of months living out of boxes on THIS end, than not have what I need on the other because I left it behind.

I'm dealing with leaving my companion of 13 years, whom I still much love, behind when I make this move. That is very, very difficult, although it is necessary and right to do for both of us right now. Being able to set up our household there, and take care of my business, then bring her back to me when she's taken care of -her- responsibilities is the goal -- yes, I know, a lot can happen in 5 years (which is our estimated time-frame), but I refuse to allow that to cripple me from doing what needs to be done now.

I am also somewhat dreading the idea of leaving a good job and having to seek out something else in this economic clime, but again, it is what must be done to meet the responsibilities that I embraced near to 30 years ago, and so it will be what it must be, and I will do what I must needs do, and it will be good.

This is going to be an amazing and challenging year... I hope to cherish the joys and rise gracefully to the challenges... and what else may one ask of oneself?

Tax season starts NOW!

Last year was quite the little eye-opener in terms of the people of our local "scene", and I am still thinking a great deal about what I have learned, and how I want to deal with people in the future.

This coming year... I get to continue refining my mad skillz at handling people, managing stress, and marveling at the high costs of health care.

Still awaiting the results of my CT scan and anticipating a diagnosis of an ulcer while simultaneously dreading the Dx of a tumor. Depending on my Dx, I may start a mentoring program for the local TNG group in the next few months. I'm also loving that my Imp is now old enough to enjoy computer games as this is something that satisfies his ADHD-driven need for stimulation at the same time it gives us something we can do either seperately or together as bonding time. Began corresponding with an intelligent, witty, submissive young lady from here just before the end of the year and I'm looking forward to developing a friendship with her. Who knows, maybe it will lead to more. Even if it doesn't she's still really neato. I'd like to lose 20 pounds and about 6 inches from my stomach/waist area, but that has to wait until I have a clean bill of health. Meanwhile, I'm feeding my addiction to Second Life.

I didn't make any resolutions this year, I'd just like to continue on my life's journey encountering the various "things" that happen along the way. I know there are things I want to do, but they are not resolutions (i.e. go to munches, conference, learn spanish, karate, go to europe, etc).

I have the same philosophy as MsD in that I don't make resolutions........less guilt that way.

Over all, life is still very good. I've been doing a lot of painting, one I have painted over because it just isn't 'right', three times. But a lousy day of painting still beats a great day at work. Work is still here.....nothing to get excited about. Still no pay increase in 3 years to match the ever increasing amount of money going out. But, oh well......I have a home and am not going without anything necessary. The bills will get paid when I can.

Still eating healthy and getting as much exercise as possible (except for this last weekend.....anything less than 10 degrees F is just too damned cold to walk for miles on country roads and I only did the elliptical once in the last 3 days.......bad LeeAnn)

I have been a HORRIBLE kink dominant domme whatever term/s you want to use. I just lost the 'give a damn' enough to put in the time weeding through the trolls. There is a local girl that messaged me a few months ago on the other side that I meet for lunches every week or two. But she is in such a different place in life, with such vastly different life goals, it just seems like we shall remain lunch buddies........ for now anyway. Though she is much younger, she is delightful company, very bright and engaging. Tolerates my passion for Vietnamese food by going to that restaurant with me repeatedly. And turns my hour long lunches into one and a half hour lunches with her fantastic conversation.

The holidays were very low key and now we are all just trying to survive the frigid temperatures ( -7 F. as I type) and looking forward to spring. I feel so bad for the horses but all I can do is feed them heavy and make sure they get plenty of fresh water.

Welcome January two thousand ten! Another opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Life is progressing along as I had anticipated. All of the good hopes that I mentioned in the last role call have been realized. I'm feeling very much at home in the lifestyle group that I've joined. I very much enjoy spending time in their company and I've found Myself a new play partner to boot. I'll be seeing how that works out in the months to come.

I almost hesitate to say it, but clip should be back on American soil before the end of the month. I'll feel more confident about that once they actually fly him out of the fob where he is located and start his out processing. Until that happens, I'm keenly aware that extending his tour could be a possibility. Since someone has already rotated in to replace him, it's unlikely. At the same time, I have no intention of jinxing Myself.

MP's shoulder continues to heal from the surgery a couple of months back. He's started physical therapy now to start regaining mobility. It's going to be a long process, but knowing him, he'll be dedicated enough to doing what he needs to in order to obtain the desired result.

For January, My main thought is patience in both of these areas. While I can get quite excited in My thoughts about clip getting back, I know it will happen in it's own time and I can't rush it. Once it does, expect Me to bore all of you to tears recounting tales of the sadistic ways I play with him once he returns. I'll still be singing the praises of casual play, but it doesn't quite live up to BDSM with the boy who wears My collar.

I don't believe my Owner has given an update, so I shall do so in her stead.

Christmas was wonderful for the both of us. We got to spend a lot of time with my side of the family. We played videogames with my sisters for hours. Well, to be fair, my Owner slept through most of it, but she woke up to help with the really hard puzzles like she normally does. She has an amazing talent for that sort of thing, heh. My Owner and I also rode around my hometown and looked a Christmas lights.

We spent most of today packing. We're getting ready for our Honeymoon to Las Vegas and then our move to our newer (bigger, nicer, and signifigantly cheaper) apartement as soon as we get back. It's going to be an adventure, as always. We'll enjoy the new room, because between the both of us and our pet bunny(Who has grown into quite the lovely young ladybunny, she's the size of a large cat), we're almost suffocating in our apartement.

I can't help but feel a little nostalgic though... I remember the first time I stepped into this apartement...it was right after my Owner and I met in the park for the first time. We hit it off nicely, and wanted to talk some more after we'd finished taking pictures. The entire event was a spur-of-the-moment affair. It was a watershed moment in my life.

But we'll make all sorts of new memories in our new apartement. We'll be able to have a whole extra room dedicated to photography, play, and whatever else tickles our fancy.

So yes... Excited. We're excited. We'll, I'm a little terrified of flying(my first time), but I'm tough and I'll get over it. Grr.

Mmmmmmm, hello, everyone, & a happy new year to all . . . .

The holidays ended up being kinda frenetically kinetically frantically busy, or at least from my rather laid-back perspective . .. . Lots of socializing, lots of family, lots of road trips.

I'm looking forward to a slower January, tho' the lethargic flow of my life last year probably won't last.

I'm gearing up to be more focused, productive, & working towards the future I wanna live in . . . I'm feeling optimistic & the energy levels are picking up, so, life is good . .. .

Well to be very honest, 2009 was not a good year for me. Hopefully this year i shall finally be able to defend my PhD. Tell you these Ivory tower types have the biggest and most fragile egos. But, here i go on a rant again.

So, 20-10, i become a Dr. & move to a bigger city (i live in auburn al. the smallest town i ever lived & can't wait to move out). Apart from this, i would like to explore a bit more of myself. I have been cocooned all my life & would now love to explore & finally be happy.

Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-... That's all, folks

I am so glad to hear of your successes-everyone. I wish You and yours all the very best and plenty of yummy fun this year!
This last year was a very challenging one for many of us and I am happy to see 2010 roll in like a soft ocean breeze to refresh our spirits.

I am doing well, working out almost every day, eating well, enjoying the beach and my current projects. I met one person recently and have more male subs to meet although I have been putting them off due to a tumultuous 2009. I have a bunch of people close to me who had a very hard year and it was draining!
It would be nice to have a female sub however in my area they are a tad scarce. I haven't been searching and I also haven't been out at the BDSM clubs like I originally was planning to do. Sticking close to home has been making me happy.

I also had my eyes opened by the 'local scene' this past year and have been running my own small group. My rules...everybody wins. Any backstabbing gets the exit sign. I lost one of my dearest BDSM friends a few months ago and it was a big loss. He was a gem and an excellent man.

2010 will be much better: I just know it.
