Gone Shopping
I should’ve said something sooner but I’ve been busying nesting again and haven’t been blogging as often as I should. I’m trying to get back in the swing of things but with new curtains to hang and other fun nesting materials calling my name, it’s hard. Heck, I’m worn out from all the shopping I’ve had to do. *grin*
I’ve actually come up with an almost spank-proof way of shopping, too. Instead of taking Dan with me on all my expeditions, I go out scouting first. I buy little stuff as I please but for the big purchases I go out and find what I want before I involve Dan.
It’s a neat trick that seems to be working. So far he’s only teasing me about earning a spanking for one upgrade. We went into a store with our minds supposedly made up about what television we were going to buy but somehow came out of the store with one that cost twice as much.
Not my fault, of course. I was standing by the one we were planning to buy but looking yearningly at the one I really wanted. Luckily he saw it, too, and couldn’t resist it. He’s been teasing me, telling me I deserve a spanking for the upgrade but he admits he’s just playing.
I’m not quite sure I’m completely pleased with how well my plan has worked though. I may have to revise my rewards campaign. When I’ve been an especially good shopper, I think I should receive an extra good spanking.
I need to work on the specifics, but this could be the answer I’ve been looking for. When I find a really good bargain, I should get a reward spanking. I’ll start my own reward program. For every successful shopping venture I complete, I should get a good girl spanking.
That makes sense, right? Now I just have to talk Dan into it. Wish me luck!
I totally agree! *nods* GG spanking, definitely oh and a massage. . . pure bliss! 🙂
Oh my, I thought for a moment that you were announcing an addition — nesting and ‘should have announced it sooner’ led me so astray. Sounds like shopping is becoming much to fun for you!
Carrielily, yes, a massage! Why didn’t I think of that? 🙂
😆 Kasey, sorry, no little addition to our den. Dan was a serious bachelor when I moved in with him last year and we’ve just moved into a larger place so I’m working at making this place cozy. I’m busy, busy, busy!

Shopping without SO even with the best intentions can have repercussions. Some discusions with my lovely Teddette after shopping alone go like this:
But it was on sale!! (or) (or) We can’t be overdrawn-I still have checks left! (or) They were all on sale!! (or) I was only an hour late. You can get to the fundraiser for the Senator a little late I’m sure he won’t fire you. (or) I knew I forgot to stop for something but after going to three malls to find this bag to match my new shoes I just wanted to get home to you. I’m sorry I forgot to pick up your good suit at the cleaners. You can get it at 5 AM on your way to the airport. You’ll only have to get up an hour early. Just make sure you leave my coffee by the bed on your way out. How about a nice BJ?
These excuses may not save your a** from Dan’s discipline (particularly when he finds the 3 unopened boxes of new shoes in the very back of your closet) but I’ll bet he finds the excuses as fun to listen to as I do.
Enjoy
Hi Headteddy! Why don’t you guys get it that “sale” equals “buy” in our minds? We’re actually physically unable to leave sale items alone. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 😉
(sigh) It’s so obvious how in love you are with Dan. It makes me grin and sigh at the same time!
