Wow,
I find it astonishing that I've had so little to say here lately, though I've been reading the mansion avidly. I'm thrilled we have such a sudden influx of Mistresses and Goddesses adding a bit more female energy to the Mansion. They all seem wonderful and lots of fun!
I'm horribly jealous of all the folks who got to go to The Gathering. My wife had a conference to attend in Atlanta over the same weekend, so I didn't even bother broaching the idea of attending the gathering with her. I went with her to Atlanta, and played the part of the Conference Widow while she did her thing there. The funny part about it was that on the trip home, our flight from Atlanta->Philly was overbooked. I wanted to get home, but my Wife was game to take a $300 voucher from USAir to step aside and take a later flight. We did that. So, I kissed her goodbye in Atlanta, and hopped on the earlier flight for home. 10 minutes into the flight, we had engine trouble and had to divert to a small airport in North Carolina. That began a day-long adventure with tons of delays. They ended up busing us all to Charlotte. By the time we got there, most flights to Philly were sold out. USAir ended up putting me up for the night in a fleabag hotel in Charlotte, and flying me home Monday. Meanwhile, my wife tucked her $300 voucher in her pocket, and comfortably made all the flights home. She's been teasing me big time "You should have taken the deal, too!!!! That's what you get for abandoning your poor helpless wife in Atlanta!... yada, yada" lol
So, there I was, alone and bored in Charlotte on Sunday night, knowing the Gathering was winding down, not far away. Hell, MW may even have been in the airport at the same time I was, as she journeyed to Texas. It sucked that I had no way of getting in touch to find out.
Meanwhile, not much happening on the chastity front, here. I'm not wearing my CB3k because it pulls on my PA piercing too much. I need to make time to try and modify it. I've just been insanely busy. I'm still in a self-imposed "honor system" lockdown at the moment. I have some weight loss goals I want to achieve, and I'm behind on them. I figured chastity play is a good incentive! lol
I've been following some events in FetLife that are coming up. There's a fetish party at a local bar that I may attend. The "Mundanes" just treat it as dress-up night, though the true BDSM folks out here in the corn fields of New York State also show up. I may try to talk my wife into going to that. I'm also intrigued by a CBT workshop for Dommes that is being held up in Ottawa. Some BDSM friends live there that we might crash with. I'd LOVE to talk my Wife into attending, and be one of the practice dummies. I get all hot and bothered just thinking about it! hehe
Ahh well, I should get rolling. I'm heading to the ancestral homelands today to visit my Dad in the Nursing home. He's not doing so well.
Have a great day, everyone!
