A Tit-n-Tat of happenings...

Christmas has come and gone and it was a very nice weekend. There was plenty of munchies and homemade honey mead, red spumante and peach sparkly stuff. We celebrated the day with Cheyenne having her gift opening on Christmas morning and then it was an open-house sorta day. Other couples and kids spent the day playing games, munching and enjoying the time together. The adults participated in a white elephant gift exchange which was totally fun. I ended up 'stealing' the gift I wanted from another couple. It was this adorable basket with candles, milk bath, a whip, a soft silky nylon rope, liqueur chocolates and a board game. I was tickled and husband was cringing. *smirk*

Later that evening my best friend's husband got to play with his newest toy...a brand new camera. We turned her livingroom into a photo studio. He loves erotic photography and has been interested in doing the muscle shots so I volunteered my muscles for the shoot. I need to get over my camera shyness and what better way to do it than with a photographer you like and trust, your hubby right there and your best friend with her wonderful girlfriend? We spent several hours taking pics, changing props, changing clothing and just having a great time. At the end of the shoot, we were all anxious to see the photos. I was very happy with the majority of mine which ranged from wearing antlers and a red evening gown with a red whip all the way to black leather with a sword to nothing but a g-string. It was empowering, confidence building and liberating to be able to have fun and get wonderful shots taken. The bonus was that I now have my before pics for my upcoming 12 week workout cycle...so Aaron will get to take more pics in a few months and capture what I hope to be a lot of progress and change.

There is still a heavy feeling of being unsettled and along with that the accompanying worries. I had a rough week leading to up to Christmas with the death of my new horse on the 14th and then the day before Christmas, the death of the elder who gave me away at my wedding. My best friend is going to do a cleansing ceremony for me this evening to try to rid some of the ick and negative which surrounds me like a cloud lately. I am hoping that the cleansing ceremony goes well and that I find a new, stronger attitude underneath the ick.

Well more later.....
