LadyPact -> Novemeber Roll Call (11/2/2010 10:54:02 AM)
It's already the second and no one has started the roll call. Time to let everyone know your updates. October turned out to be even better than I had hoped. It was well attended and we had folks from all over. Even a number of them from CM. I couldn't have imagined it going better. I was completely surprised when the folks 'bought' Me someone to play with for the evening. It turns out that person shared My love of needles and we had a great scene. I was absolutely soaring! The draw back is, still somewhat spacey the next day, I took a tumble during clean up and hurt My ankle. This kept Me home for Halloween. I felt bad about this after the fact when I found out a certain someone had went to the trouble of baking a wonderful cake because I had mentioned that I was easily swayed by chocolate. I'll have to make that up to him. In November, I'm hoping to make the trip to another group to attend a demo by Simply Michael. I haven't seen this particular presentation, but the material seems very interesting. On the 'regular' people stuff front, I became a Grandmother again. He is the first grandson and has the face of an angel.

Eeeeh, NOVEMBER!!! My sense of the passage of time continues to deteriorate... I have to say this has not been a stellar year, and I am a bit startled that it passed so quickly. I have been doing a lot of thinking and evaluating since Susan died, and my unhappiness with the public scene just increases. My toybag is neatly packed in a corner of the closet, and it can stay there. I am happy going to small get-togethers, like the local foot group, but as to meeting any new playmates? I am NOT impressed with what is out there. It's not that there are no decent humans out there, just none that are a match for ME. I am not interested in handing out insta-collars, and that means that I get passed by quite a bit. I think that is no bad thing. The tax season looms, and I am wondering if I need a second job... my health insurance is changing, so my out of pocket will be just as stratospheric, but I suspect all of our hours are going to be cut. Hmph. I might have someone sacrifice a goat and read its entrails, maybe there is some spirit who can point me in a better direction. Well, isn't that just the picture of cheer! On other fronts, Jed is outttacontrol!! Adventureboy is deliberately leaving his enclosure, happily beaking on his way to his NEST, ie UnderTheBed. My Croc house shoes have a big hole in the toe, but the lining is untouched, so that's cool. He's spending a lot of time as a jail bird, since I really am not inclined to have everything in my room beaked to hell. Plus, he is refusing to step up to be put back on his cage! The perch is the DEVIL!! Watching him lying on his back, savagely attacking the hand perch, waving it in one claw, is seriously funny. I try to not encourage this behavior, but honestly? He is going to turn 13 next month. If I am blessed, he will live another 25 years for sure. He learns new stuff all the time. I am DOOOOOMED!!!

Not done an update for quite a while... but then it had been a while since I wandered back to CM. Life with My girl continues well, been together three years in a couple of weeks. Was just saying today that whilst many people seem to think I put so much work in (So did she, they seem to forget that you can't help someone who isn't working WITH You) especially at the beginning, the rewards of having got that right are immense and continue to be very fulfilling. Going to be a rather busy month. Was at a friends birthday playparty last Friday, a Samhain party here on the Saturday. London Alternative Market next weekend, I'm heading to Southampton to club Missuse the weekend after that (The main reason for that I will touch on in a moment), then its the Local Munch (Sort of have to be there... given My girl and I run it) then We have a lift up to the Brimingham Bizar Bazar the weekend after. The biggest event for this Household recently was for the first time in three years, I seriously think I may have found a compatible third hence heading to a club outside My normal stomping grounds. Early days yet and the going isn't likely to be easy.... but nothing worth having ever comes easy. But she already has the uncanny ability to make Me smile just by being herself..... on that score... watch this space, no guarantees yet but I know what I want!

October was indeed a roller coaster for me First, I packed up my best friend and helped him move to Detroit. It hurts, not having him around, but he seems to be doing well up there. The ex that came back around turned out to be even more narcissitic and self centred than I beleived possible in a human being. I understand a little selfishness, just human nature. However, when it is constantly all about you to the point where you are hurting the other person and dont care, that is too far. On the positive side, Im doing well at work, even after transfering to a new department to get more hours.\ Also, I aced all of my midterms (go me!), and I have a new band in the works. If you compare your life to a house, I guess you could say I'm in the process of remodeling. Im removing all of the things that are harmful and bad, and replacing them with newer and more sturdy materials. I do not know where or when this process will end, or what my situation will be when it does. I just know I am moving in the right direction.

~FR~ Late last month, I went to my first real munch. Now this month, I'm getting involved in a "work party." I will be helping renovate a big out-buildng into a Dungeon. It will be re-roofed and insulated, probably re-floored, and everything has to be built and so on inside. I am sooooo looking forward to it. The people who own it say it promises to be the best Dungeon in the whole county. So, this Sunday I'm putting my work boots on. Yay!!! [sm=banana.gif] ~sweetsub~

October was a pretty good month for me, lots of good things happened.. Got my house refinanced, joined a roller derby team and won a vacation.. A few "bad" things happened but mostly work related with the change in upper management but I've got applications out and hope to remedy that soon.. I've been trying to post more on the forums and being more proactive about meeting and chatting with like-minded folks... I've joined a couple local groups and look forward to attending a few munches later this month. I had hoped to get to attend a weekend bondage camp in Houston but the bosses denied my vacation request.. Typically this time of year isn't a very good one for me, the loss of my grandmother seems to hit home during the holiday season (its been several years but she was a Christmas baby and it was always a big deal for our family- since her death the family pretty much fell apart...) However I hope everyone has a great month!

sunshinemiss -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 3:06:28 AM)
Hi everyone, My month was pretty good. I am having my thyroid meds adjusted which has left me with lots more energy than before, so I'm really active. I did a 5K last weekend, and I'm set for a 10K this month. I joined the gym (again), and I took a much needed vacation. Life is going pretty well here in my world. I'm kind of lonely these days, and I miss "back home" more than I care to admit, but that is just par for the course. There have been two deaths in my family which is really hard from so far away, and I have been grateful to the internet for getting the info. Also, a close friend of mine died, so that has been so sad. He was a man I respected, admired, and felt deep affection for more than I can say. I think that's enough for now. Best, sunshine Best, sunshine

The wife and I have made huge progress in our femdom relationship. I have been so happy, and i think she is enjoying herself as well. She is still covered up with school work though. Business is still doing well for me, and ive made tons of progress on my car, but spending way too much money on it. Oh well it will all be worth it when its done.

NovelApproach -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 5:45:19 AM)
October's been pretty decent to me. I'm still unemployed, but I have a few very promising leads now, I'm finally over the funk that being laid off put me in. My relationships were suffering under the weight of that funk, and while sex and kink are still on the back burner, I've had time and energy to be much more loving with my boys in the past few weeks. After a year with my new pet, I finally offered him my collar, which he accepted. In celebration of our anniversary and the collaring we're going out to a VERY nice restaurant next week. [:)] November is looking to be a busy month. Lots of crafting commissions, lots of job interviews, and lots of free time to spend with my pets. I'm looking forward to it.

Madame4a -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 11:05:26 AM)
well... October went out very nicely.. although the last weekend signaled the last weekend of our Ren Faire season -- at least anything we can get to this year... it was a great finale though with us going for a whole weekend about 130 miles away from home. We went several other weekends in October close to home. I'm guessing I haven't updated since darling dear boi's birthday -- I flew her Mom and sis here for her 40th and it went off beautifully. We of course took them to Ren Faire on the Saturday of that weekend. This month -- well, I'll be 50 -- I'm finding it a bit odd as I don't feel 'old' although I find 50 to be old. We're are still transitioning as far as the moving in goes... and its going well enough but for some cat behavior issues -- no surprise there, however. We're having a "Boots, Cigars, and Whiskey" party for my birthday.. I'm hopeful the house will be full of loud and boisterous laughter, not to mention a few dozen leathermen and women... life is good

Takeylarose -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 11:12:07 AM)
Madame4a- My mom turned 60 yesterday and she isn't old! You're only as old as you feel! Happy (early) birthday!

MaamJay -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 3:37:23 PM)
Well here October was very uncharacteristic ... RAIN! Lots of it, we were parked in a very boggy field. At one point the river broke its banks and went across the road bridge about 1k away, and the bank was closed as it was flooded! Luckily our van is nice and tall, so no water inside but it made taking the dog out for a pee rather a soggy process. So that meant a lot of time in the van and working on the computer. Did a LOT of paid data analysis work (well, the pay is still coming but the work is done!), and also finished chapter 2 of My thesis (a very long chapter of reviewing literature) and My supervisor liked it! YAY!! Now working on chapter 3 which is much easier, the methodology. However the most exciting thing happened on the first of November, I had a subby boy to play with! YAY!! We all met for dinner on Sat night and got on very well, so he came to the van on Monday. After more chat, he cleaned the place very nicely whilst I did some work, and then a great play. (Details available in the positive experiences forum). It was awesome to let MJ out for the weekend and I am very grateful to Master for allowing it. A bit sad to have met such a good sub just as we are leaving this area for at least the next year, but we will stay in touch. I'm still doing the happy dance here! All the best to everyone else ... and Mme4a ... 50 is NOT old. It can't be, I'm 54 and I'm not old LOL! Maam Jay aka violet[A]

Madame4a -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 5:00:27 PM)
Takeylarose and Ma'am Jay Thank you... I'm working on it... my darling boy is always amused by my moaning about turning 50.... [:)] and I will say, something that I forgot... the beginning of November has meant that when I go out to the car to start my journey to work... I have to notice the bikes.. with frost on them the last two mornings... ugh.. I feel like I won't be on a motorcycle again for six months... damn it...

I think LadyPact or LadyHibiscus cried foul when I did not provide much information in my last roll call (June?) and I promised UndergroundSea that I would update everyone and share my "wisdom" lol. A little more than two years have passed since “The Conversation.” I understand now that what I really wanted and still need is greater intimacy in my marriage. Inquisitive, thoughtful conversation; affirmation, concern, warm embrace. Thoughtfulness. Tenderness. Gentleness. Compassion. All these things that naturally flow from me to those for whom I care and love– I ache for these things. When I first found CM and read about the relationships and observed the way people related to one another I knew something was missing. I’d harbored power exchange fantasies all my life and I perceived my spouse to be dominant and myself submissive. I thought that exploring BDSM together would be a way for us to interact more intimately with one another. I did my research, consulted, consulted, consulted, gathered my courage, and sat down for “The Conversation.” It quickly became apparent that we had trust and communication issues that needed to be resolved first. Over intervening months the size and scope of the problems revealed themselves to be big. Huge. Gigantic. Maybe insurmountable. She has finally agreed to go to couples counseling which I hope will give us the tools needed to speak to one another more productively. I still want to more fully experience creation and my part in it, including power and pain play, but I’m willing to let those things go. My spouse and I must be able to communicate openly and honestly and intimately; that I am not willing to live without. I recognize that I am responsible for my own happiness and am learning to appreciate each moment, minute, hour and day; to find joy in all things, celebrate all things and seek to meet my teacher in every new experience. This is not the story I wanted to tell but it is my story and the ending is still mine to write.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Novemeber Roll Call (11/3/2010 5:41:01 PM)
Terms!! I am glad to hear you are moving forward, albeit with difficulty. Please visit us more :)
