New Year's Toasting

Happy New Year!

So, today the Duke came into the bedroom and let me know that we were starting off 2014 with a spanking... no biggie, EXCEPT that he CLOSED off 2013 with a spanking!  Oh, my poor bottom cannot take anymore.  I told him if I bratted tomorrow, that he still couldn't spank me because I would be too sore, and he said that my being spanked tomorrow was all up to me... hmph... lol.  The stinker.  Thankfully I've never really bratted, but I was tempted to in that moment!  lol

Oh, and just before the spanking this morning, I said to him,

"Will you remember to talk to me when you are toasting my already sore behind?"
"Yeah, it’s a New Year’s Toast."

If you guys lived here, you'd know, this is so the Duke.  He's always coming up with one liners, and more often lately they are puns.  And sadly, yes, they are funny, and I laugh, which only eggs him on for next time.  lol

So, some rules are ones we already had and were sliding on, some are more aggressive rules.  I even put down that I have to blog once a week since I've been getting slack, I haven't often gone more than once a week, but this helps me process, so I want to stick with it.  I also put down to keep up with blogs at least once a week, though I do try every few days, but the Duke made me take it off the list.  SORRY GUYS!  He said he didn't want it to become an excuse for my new stricter bedtime. :(  I fought for you all... and lost. :(

One rule now is that if I'm at home, I'm in a dress or nightgown.  No more PJ's, no more shorts and tshirts... oh man, I LOVE MY SHORTS AND TSHIRTS.  :(  I feel like holding a funeral for them.  *sniff*  *sniff*

Another thing was that we went and did some shopping on PinkCherry.  If you're looking for some bedroom fun, I'd look today.  They have a huge sale, but think it's ending today or tomorrow, and if you put in the coupon code they have at the right of the screen, it's "boxing" you get another 25% off.  We spent $52 on $158 worth of stuff.  It came to $59 after taxes with free shipping.  I could not pass up that deal. lol  And... we didn't already do that one other time this week!!!  *cough*  *cough*  Well, we got money for Christmas... so... lol  And there was stuff we said we'd get later... but realized to pay later would be to pay a LOT more.  So hence the second order... lol  This all started with an innocent look because I have to strengthen my kegels my physiotherapist says, I didn't realize there was a sale... and flashy pictures of products we'd thought of getting at some point or another anyway... lol 

Other than that, the Duke brought home Swiss Chalet for supper last night, my absolute favourite place to eat from, and it's been a quiet New Year.  The Duke says he's going to write you all a post this week, so fingers crossed. :)  Thanks for the encouragement in the last post everyone, hopefully that helped give him a push.  He would have written it sooner I think, but we have been CRAZY busy. 

Happy New Year, and I wish you all a happy year filled with joys and love.  :)

OH, PS!  Thank you to all who supported me as I worried about the dress and the wedding... the dress, well lets just say, the customer service I told you about tells the quality of the dress. One seam opened up DURING the wedding on the left side, and four buttons came off down the back of my dress, and several also came off one of the other bridesmaids dresses. :( Not what you'd expect from a $150 dress. But, still, I looked good, and it was fun. :)  The wedding went good, and the Duke was so great.  BUT had me almost bursting out laughing during the ceremony.  I was maid of honour, he was second groom's men, so we could see each other behind the bride and groom.  He kept making these weird smiles at me that I had to fight not to laugh at, and I finally couldn't look at him anymore because of the looks he was giving me!  LOL 

Happy New Year! :)

  1. Happy New Year! Sorry about your sore bottom though it sounds as if everything is going well.

    That was cute about the wedding too although the dress thing must have been annoying. Glad nothing more happened or you might have been up there in nothing at all but a slip! :)

    love

    1. Not even a slip! It was built into the dress because of the stranger design of the dress, but the way it was sewn, it was part of the seams... that is why all of us bridesmaid's panicked when we saw it because we all knew this. LOL Am I ever glad NOTHING else came off. lol

      Happy New Year to you too. :)

  2. Oh, honey, don't mourn the loss of your t-shirts and shorts. The new rules give him easier access. That's the fun of it. Woot!! ;)

    Happy New Year!

  3. I'm glad you two are in a good place and that the wedding was fun. If I never see another bridesmaid dress, I'll be okay with that.

    Thanks for the tip on PinkCherry - I may have to check it out.

    Happy New Year!

    1. OH, if you'd told me he'd give me a 2013 closing out spanking, and then a 2014 welcome in spanking, I would have said you were talking about some other HOH. LOL Boy is he growing. :) {{{hugs}}}

  6. :) Hi Es May.

    You sound so much better than when I last read here. I was out of town and unable to leave comments with little eyes looking over my shoulders.

    It sounds like the Duke has you well in hand.

    Blasted dress...I would complain but heh, maybe it isn't worth the battle.

    1. Hey Susie, yes, thankfully that bad day was just a bad day, and not week or month. :) And the Duke is getting me well in hand... and I'm surprised at how different our year is this year from last. And, to be honest, I think I will complain about the dress because it was very expensive, and I should be able to wear it to several more occassions, and I can't. :(

  7. Hey Es May...sounds like you and the Duke are in a good place. In the summer, I run around the house in an oversized t-shirt with no shorts...so basically a very short dress! Would that be okay with the Duke? For you!!!! LOL

    Sheesh...what poor quality those dresses were. At least the dress stayed on you while it was needed...the last time I made (actually sewed) a dress, it fell off me while I was wearing it! Luckily, I had a swimsuit underneath. ;)

    Wishing both of you an awesome 2014.

    Hugs and Blessings...

    1. You know, I'm only 5'3", so many t-shirts are too long for me... so I could probably get away with it. LOL But I don't think the Duke will go for it... he kind of just laughed when I suggested it, lol. And thank you, I hope you have a wonderful 2014 too, Cat. :) {{{hugs}}}

  8. Hi Es May, I think I should apologise because this made me giggle. Boy, you sure have an HoH on your hands! LoL.

    Sorry about your poor bum. I too got a new year's toasting (love that btw :) ... and not of the good variety!

    Boo Duke for taking reading blogs off the rules list :) Very much looking forward to reading your upcoming post :)

    That is so poor about the bridesmaid's dresses. Glad to hear the wedding went well though. Glad too that you two seem to be in such a good place.

    Happy New Year to you both. Wishing you all the very best in 2014 and hope it is a wonderful year for you.

    Hugs,
    Roz

    1. Roz, you're lucky you're such a good friend! Laughing at my hardships. LOL ;) And you are right, he is finally donning on the HOH hat, and WOW. LOL, I thought people would like his "New Years Toasting". I can still read the blogs, it's just not allowed to be on my list of rules to do... *sniff* *sniff* hehehe. But I'll still try. :) I hope you have a wonderful New Year too. :) {{{hugs}}}

  9. Happy New Year Es May and Duke! Hope you enjoy those new purchases! Hope some of those New Year's spanks are GG ones. A blogging restriction, ouch. That might be worse than a spanking.

    1. Thank you, Clara. :) I think we will, one set came today. And those spanks were not GG ones! I should tell the Duke that that is what they were supposed to be... think he'd take kindly to be suggesting he did it wrong? lol And not really a blogging restriction, I'm just not allowed to let it jeopordize my other rules. :)

  10. It won't be long before you start to think about how annoying pjs would be to wear to bed. They are always in the way ;)

    1. HAhahaha, Callie, if in six months time I'm still not a fan, can I come back and say you were wrong? LOL Yeah, I'll probably get used to them, but I know it will be hard, I've tried in the past, and would take up an hour later unable to sleep... so hopefully now I'll do better. :)

  11. Lol, I love those one-liners! I wouldn't be able to help but giggle at them if I were you.

    It seems like you two are in a great place, and I hope 2014 brings more of that for you. Happy New Year! :)

Please feel free to leave any comments, but I do ask you to be kind. We go into this with eyes wide open after months of prayer, and a peace in our hearts that this is the right choice before God for our marriage. I am open to questions from those who wonder why we made this choice, but I would ask for no personal attacks. Thank you. :)
