Happy New Year's eve!

Happy New Year's eve! Today is the last day of 2011. It hasn't been that bad of a year for me. It's been one of the happiest for my relationship with Anakin. We've had a pretty good year and celebrated our 15 year anniversary together in November. I can't really complain about 2011. There were a few challenges but they were mostly about my mom. There was also a bit of drama with the poly aspect of my relationship. We have chosen to take a break from the poly for a while. Not sure what will happen in 2012 with that. The best of 2011: My hotel night in Richmond to celebrate my anniversary with Anakin in November. It felt so good to get away for the night and it was so romantic. The best part of my 2011 was all of the time I got to spend with Master. The cuddles and big talks and connection. Our force is stronger than it's ever been. I love Him so much and have learned to be a better slave to Him. The worst part of 2011: Dealing with my mom's drama. I spent the first part of the year very consumed by what was happening with my mom and her problems. She walked away from me and my family in May. There has been a lot of drama which was hard on my whole family. It also caused a pretty big fight between me and my sister earlier this year. It was a quiet and peaceful Christmas this year without the drama though. I don't have any regrets when it comes to the situation with my mom. I don't want to talk to her unless she makes some changes in her life. Scariest moment of 2011: Anakin and I decided to go downtown Vancouver to see the last Canucks game in the Stanley Cup finals. We were there just as some of the rioting was starting. It was a very scary experience for us both. We also found out that my FIL has cancer and that has been difficult. There was one death (Anakin's Aunt) this year and that was hard on the family as well. I feel like I grew up a lot this year. I turned 39 years old. Very close to 40 and even closer to menopause. Both of my kids grew up a lot this year. The teen had her 16th birthday. My son turned 10. I'm so proud of both of my kids. I'm healthier than I was last year. I lost a total of 13 pounds this last year due to all my walking. I had some heart problems though. There was also a few health worries like Anakin's high blood pressure. Most exciting moment in 2011: The BC Lions winning the Grey Cup in Vancouver! We were all so excited and jumping around when they won! Congrats to the Lions! It was also really exciting to stay up and watch the Royal Wedding with Wills and Kate. That was very amazing to watch live with Anakin. I've tried to focus on what's important with Anakin and our kids this last year. I feel so blessed for what I have in my life. I really do have a very good life. :) I was able to cross several things off my bucket list including figging which I tried for the first time. I am hoping to cross more off next year. I'm excited about 2012! There are lots of possibilities that lay ahead for Anakin and I. I am really looking forward to the upcoming journey. I want to thank our readers for being a part of our journey this last year. I've tried to blog more. I took part in #adventblog this year and had many posts in December. We also had our final HNT picture this last week. We had a blogging milestone this year too! We went over 2.5 million hits on JTTDS! Amazing! We are really proud of our blog. We made some changes on our blog this year too including a new and better header and sidebars. We hope to work and improve even more next year and make it even better! We made it onto the Chross.blog recently which has brought in a lot of new readers and stats from there. Welcome to our blog! Hope you will come back and read all about our Journey to the darkside! I even got into doing toy reviews for Eden Fantasys this year. We made Top sex blogger for 2011! I started a Tumblr account and we both had success with our online store. We hope to create a new store next year. Many exciting things that we have talked about. I can't wait! There were many spankings in 2011! We played on the darkside a lot and enjoyed some pretty amazing date nights. I am planning to spend NYE tonight with Anakin. A private party for two. :) I used to be a pretty wild party girl. I could tell you some stories of what happened on my NYE some of those times back in the early 90's. lol. I've changed a lot though. I much prefer being able to be alone with Master. Order in a pizza and break open a bottle of fine wine. Put on the fireplace and lay out the toys! That's my idea of a perfect NYE! :) Sooooo what are you doing New Year's eve? May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Saying goodbye to the HNT series

Today is the end of an era. We have been participating in the HNT (Half-Nekkid Thursday) series for many years. I am really sad to see it go. All good things come to an end though. I am really glad to have been a part of this fantastic series! Osbasso e-mailed me and asked me to say a few words about what HNT meant to me. This is what I said in the HNT - The Finale: "We started the HNT (Half-Nekkid Thursday) series on Thursday February 23, 2006 (http://darkside-journey.blogspot.com/2006/02/first-hnt.html). I had noticed that several other bloggers were starting to participate in the HNT series. I became interested right away in it. A chance for us to put up a sexy picture each week! :) The HNT series became very popular. We started to notice that our Stats were often quite a bit higher on Thursdays when we put up our HNT picture. It seemed to spread like wildfire. Even some of my blogger friends started putting up HNT pictures. We really enjoyed being a part of the HNT series. I found other blogs to read through the HNT's each week. I met some new friends and we had a great opportunity to show off some of our best pictures with the readers of our blog. I'd like to personally thank Osbasso for all the work he put into HNT each week. It was an honor to be a part of the HNT series. Thanks for all the great memories! :)" May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Hard belting from Anakin

I had a really fun and unexpected date night with Anakin last night. He took me to the movies and out for dinner. We saw the new Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It was really good. We came home to playtime which was really intense and dark. I wore my pretty new blue panties for him. I love the color of them and Master was very pleased. I was very submissive to Him last night. I took a lot of pain, especially on my ass. I asked Him for a hard belting which He was very happy to give to me. I am putting up a picture of it and also shared a few on my Tumblr. I really needed it. He fucked me roughly up my ass and then allowed me a very big g-spot orgasm. I was floating in subspace and cuddling up to Him afterwords. I feel very close to Master today. I also feel very submissive. I woke up with a sore bum and nice reminders on my ass of what he did to it. I love looking at the marks after we play on the darkside. Anakin had His belt laying out on the bed today. A warning of what would happen if there was any attitude. I did my chores for him while being very focused on the belt. Great motivation. I got lots done today. I even got a few hard strokes with it today. He's promising me more over the rest of the holidays. He is home until Jan. 4th so there is plenty of time for playing on the darkside. :) May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A quiet and peaceful Christmas

Happy Boxing Day! How was your Christmas? Thankfully there was no more drama after what happened on Dec. 23rd. Christmas Eve and day were both peaceful and quiet. We watched holiday movies on Christmas Eve. Then we went out for dinner with our kids and FIL. We took the kids to look at Christmas lights. We did all our holiday stuff like tracking Santa on Norad and getting to open a gift or two early. I really enjoyed having both of my kids home for Christmas this year. We had a very quiet Christmas dinner with the kids and FIL. We were both very tired after the turkey dinner and drinks. I crashed at 8 pm last night. I was exhausted. Anakin and I even managed to have a quickie on Christmas morning in the early hours. I was on my period but that doesn't let Master stop him. I have been promised a spanking as soon as we get the chance. The teen leaves tomorrow for almost a week. Our son won't be here on New Year's eve. We have a special date night planned for it and that's very exciting! I was really spoiled for Christmas this year. Santa brought me a new coffee maker! I also got some really cute holiday M&M mugs. I am putting up a picture of my coffee in it this morning. I love it! :) We got a lot of gift cards so we are debating doing some shopping today. I am feeling very submissive this morning. It's been really nice to serve my Master during the holidays. He was very pleased with all my hard work. Our force is strong... May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Merry Christmas: Day 24 and 25

Today is day 24 and 25 of having an #AdventBlog. I will be taking the day off from blogging tomorrow to spend with Anakin and our family. I am not feeling too good today. I started my period which put a dent into my spanking plans with Anakin. I admit that I'm disappointed. I think I set my expectations a bit high on things. I forgot that mother nature had her own Christmas gift to give to me. I honestly don't think there is anything worse than being on your period at Christmas. I'm tired, bitchy and irritable this morning. I'm also having lots of cramps. Not fun! :/ There was some family drama which happened last night. My step dad showed up pounding on our door. I guess my mom didn't like the news that we weren't going to see her this Christmas. This is the second time he's come to my house. It was very scary for us. We didn't answer the door because he's pretty scary. I really don't like where this is headed. It's a bad start to the holidays though. Both of my kids are also sick with a cold. I had it a few weeks ago and now they do too. I hope Anakin doesn't get sick. I'm going to push ahead today and try to be in the holiday spirit. I want to make sure to give my kids a good Christmas. We are already tracking Santa on Norad which is a fun part of Christmas. I'm glad the liquor cabinet is well stocked for the holidays. I plan on having a few tonight. Maybe it will help me relax. I'd like to thank Mija for the great idea of having an advent blog! It inspired a lot more blog posts than I usually do in December. Thanks Mija! I hope everyone has been enjoying the daily posts. I'm going to try to make more of an effort in the New year to blog more. :) Anakin and I want to wish our readers a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thank you for being a part of O/our Journey... May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Candy Cane panties: Day 23

Today is Day 23 of having an #adventblog! I have managed to blog every single day in December. It's inspired many blog posts and some pictures as well. It's a great chance to also share a few pictures or stories from our archives. This one was taken a few years ago and is holiday themed. I'm wearing my candy cane panties. They are so cute! :) Christmas is almost here! I am doing some cross border shopping today. Building a gingerbread house with my kids tonight. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! I am looking forward to Christmas for the first time in years. A nice quiet family Christmas with both of my kids at home. I am really excited to spend a family Christmas with Anakin and our family. Merry Christmas everyone and happy holidays! May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A red bottom for Christmas: Day 22

Today is day 22 of having an #adventblog. Check out Mija's blog to see who is participating in this neat series. We are all counting down the days until Christmas which is just about here! I am just doing some last minutes things to get ready for the holidays. This picture was taken a few years ago and is holiday themed. It's a fun one to share with everyone. I've got a red bottom and it's all wrapped up for Santa for Christmas. All I want for Christmas is a red bottom! I hope Santa will use his mean black belt on my bottom! I could use a really hard one. :P May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

It's almost Christmas: Day 21

Today is day 21 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas. Are you ready for the holidays? It's all about to begin! A big thank you to Mija for encouraging me to participate in the advent blog! It's been fun blogging daily and counting down towards Christmas. I've tried to keep most of my blog posts holiday themed in some way. I'm really excited about New Year's Eve. That's getting closer too! It's one of my favorite days of the year. I love spending it with Anakin. We usually just have a quiet date night spent playing and fucking. I had a few years where I partied through new years. I'm much happier to have a quieter one now. I didn't even make it until midnight last night. lol. I fell asleep early and woke up just after midnight. 2011 hasn't been a bad year. I feel that my relationship with Anakin is stronger than it's ever been. I only disobeyed Him a few times this year and was better in my role as His slave. We celebrated our 15 year anniversary in November. I can't imagine my life without Anakin. He's my strong force. I love our family that we have created with our kids. I feel so very blessed. I am looking forward to 2012 and new beginnings for U/us on our journey. I wanted to wish all of my blogger and twitter friends and readers a very Merry Christmas! I hope your holidays will be merry and bright! May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Countdown to Christmas: Day 19

Today is day 19 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas. I've got some baking done and plan to do more this week. We are almost all ready for the holidays to begin! I'm really hoping this Christmas will be a good one. I admit that I'm normally not a huge fan of the holidays. A lot of family drama has leaked into the holidays for many years now. I hope that doing things differently will help us to have a quieter Christmas without all the drama. This will be the first Christmas that we get both of our kids for the entire holiday. I almost always have to split the holidays up because of my ex husband and our custody agreement. He's agreed to give us the teen this year for the entire Christmas celebration. She'll be with us right through Christmas which is really exciting. She goes to her Dad's house but not until closer to new year. This will give us some time to spend with both of our kids. I'm really excited about it. My kids are growing up on me. I want to enjoy this time with them both. We have hosted some really big Christmas dinners through the years. This often brought a lot of stress and very little help from people. This year will be a bit different. The only person coming to Christmas dinner will be my FIL. I think this will make it a lot more peaceful this year with hopefully less drama. This will be my first Christmas without both of my parents involved in my Christmas somehow. My Dad has passed away. My mom and I don't talk anymore. There have been a few people who have opinions about it but it's a family decision that we made together. I personally don't believe that you should just forgive someone just because it's Christmas time. My mom needs to make some changes in her life or things will continue to be the same. I wish that things could be different...I really do. I feel very blessed for my family with Anakin and our kids. They are the best parts of Christmas and the holidays. We have created our own family traditions and tried to make good memories for our kids. We have been watching holiday movies with our kids and baking with them. We plan to build a gingerbread house together. We are also planning to visit some light displays when it gets closer to Christmas. Those are the holiday memories which I treasure so much. I love our Skywalker family Christmas. May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Favorite Holiday Movie: Day 18

Today is Day 18 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas! It's getting closer! Are you ready for the holidays? It seems like things are never really done for us until Christmas Eve. We are always very busy with stuff to get done. I'm starting on my baking today! I've got some recipes to try and the traditional favorites of my family as well. I love baking. I also love watching holiday movies this time of the year. We watched Christmas with the Kranks last night with our kids. I love it although I never got why it was such a big deal to skip Christmas. I went on several trips during my childhood during Christmas. I think it's pretty neat to get away during the holidays. What is your favorite holiday movie? One of our family favorites is the Polar Express! I love that movie. We usually watch just before Christmas. I have seen the movie many times but yet it always makes me cry. I love it! I also love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation as well. There are so many fun family movies. I also love the classics. It's a wonderful Life is a true classic. There are also Christmas tv shows or cartoons which are always neat to watch. Who else loves Charlie Brown's Christmas or Rudolph the red nose Reindeer? There is nothing better than watching a holiday movie with your family during Christmas. We put on the fireplace and put up some goodies and enjoy some time with each other. It's one of the best parts of Christmas for me. What's your favorite? May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A special Holiday date night: Day 17

Today is day 17 of having an #adventblog. Check out Mija's blog for a list of people who are participating in this fun series! I am blogging every day until Christmas. Christmas is sure getting closer! I did a bit more shopping today as well as put out more Christmas lights. I also cleaned up my kitchen so it's ready for some of the baking that I plan to do. We are planning to watch a holiday family movie tonight. I'm starting to get pretty excited about Christmas and the holidays! :) Last night was a special holiday themed date night with Anakin. I made him a homemade pasta dinner. We had a bottle of merlot and sat by the fireplace listening to Christmas music. I also dressed up in some sexy new lingerie from Eden Fantasys. I had been saving it for a special night! It's a sexy schoolgirl lingerie which fit me nicely. Anakin was very pleased they showed off my tits. I am posting a picture of me wearing the lingerie with some holiday bows on them. This is Master's favorite type of Christmas gift. :) We played on the darkside for hours. I got the belt as well as hand and whip. The sex was fantastic and rough. The g-spot orgasm took my breath away. We had our dessert at the end of the night and watched a bit of tv before cuddling together and falling asleep. A perfect night! I woke up with a sore bottom and a few nice bruises to remind me of our date night. I posted a few pictures onto my Tumblr and will post more soon! Anakin took many pictures last night during our play. Our force is feeling strong... May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Favorite Holiday Beverage: Day 16

TGIF! Today is day 16 of having an #adventblog. It's hard to believe that next weekend is Christmas! Time is flying. I'm very busy working on my to-do list that Master wrote for me. I'm going to be busy every day between now and Christmas. I asked people on twitter yesterday a holiday question. I thought this would make a neat blog post as well. What is your favorite holiday beverage? (either non alcoholic or alcoholic or both) I love rum and egg nog. A true classic. I also really like hot chocolate this time of the year. I had to buy a big tin of it because I really like having it after my walks! I also love all the holiday specialty coffees. I've stopped by Starbucks a few different times to get one of their holiday coffees. Yum! What's your favorite? May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

An unexpected morning quickie: Day 15

Today is Day 15 of having an #AdventBlog. Christmas is getting closer and things are very busy right now. Anakin had the day off work yesterday and it was spent doing a lot of our holiday shopping. It is a tradition for us to go out to Metrotown to do some of our holiday shopping. There are stores there that are hard to find like Lush and the Sweet Factory. Master told me to pick up a gift basket of Lush which was really nice. Thank you Master! I can't wait to open that up on Christmas morning! I went to Metrotown on my own which is always a bit of an adventure. He gave me a limit of how much I could spend and sent me on my way. We started at 9 am and didn't finish until around 4 pm. Metrotown was a bit crazy. There is also a lot of memories for me there. I tried to finish up the shopping as fast as I could. I was exhausted and went to bed at 8:30. I'm still a bit sick and fighting that. I'm also a little bit stressed about my list of things to get done by Christmas. The kids are almost out of school and running out of time. I had some cuddles with Master before going to bed last night. I woke up early this morning. I usually get up at 7 am but was up at 6 instead. Anakin had slept in and we both enjoyed a few minutes together. I started looking through Tumblr and he asked me "Are you horny?". I said "yes" and then he ordered me upstairs to our bedroom. I was told to strip naked and get ready for Him. He made me give him a hand job at first until His cock was nice and firm. Then he fucked me roughly. Wow! An unexpected morning quickie is the best! I was able to watch him drive off to work with a big smile on His face. That makes me a very happy slave. :) How are you doing? Are you ready for the holidays? What do you want Santa to bring you? I'd really like a new coffee maker. A spanking would be really nice too! :P May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Merry Kinky Christmas: Day 14

Today is Day 14 of having an #AdventBlog. A special thank you to Mija for hosting this fun series. It has inspired me to blog a lot more this month. I'm trying to keep a lot of my blog posts holiday themed in some way. I am posting a picture that was taken during one of our holidays. Anakin had wrapped me up in Christmas lights as some fun light bondage. :P We always try to enjoy a kinky Christmas. We try to plan a special date night which is always holiday themed. I dress up and he takes erotic pictures of me. I am looking forward to when we can celebrate our kinky Christmas! It's going to be fun. Today is a full day of Christmas shopping. Anakin is taking the day off work so we can hopefully get the majority of it done. Wish me luck! :P May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Severe Spanking on Friday night: Day 13

Today is Day 13 of having an #AdventBlog. Things are getting a bit crazier now that the holidays are getting closer. It feels like my list of things to do keeps growing! I am glad that Anakin is off work tomorrow so we can get some shopping done. I want to get my wrapping done before the kids are out of school on Friday. This is always a busy time of the year. I posted some pictures onto my Tumblr this morning. They are pictures of my severe spanking from Anakin. The pictures were both taken in the middle of the play. Things got very intense and dark on Friday night. My ass was completely covered in welts and bruises. It was completely red and parts were bleeding. It surprised me when I saw the pictures. I was surprised how quickly and intense the play became on Friday night. We were having dinner and had just finished cleaning up. He grabbed me and put me over his knee for a quick hand spanking. Then the belt came off and there was a mean stroke right across my ass cheek! We went upstairs where the play continued for hours. There was the whip and cane both used. He tried to stop the play 3 different times but I begged him to keep going. I am a true pain slut. I needed and craved a severe spanking. My pussy was soaking wet. The sex and orgasms were incredible! I had no idea how much I needed that spanking though. My ass was sore the next day and helped calm me. Spankings (especially corporal punishment ones) seem to center me when nothing else can. I feel very submissive and at peace for the first time in weeks. I had a lot of stress last week and needed the relief. Master always knows just how far to take me when we play. He took me to the edge and pushed me over and we both were happy for it. O/our force is strong... May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Holiday Hooters: Day 12

Today is Day 12 of having an #AdventBlog. I don't have much time today to blog. I'm a bit behind on my online work and also have holiday stuff to do too. I'm still sorting through my recipes and also trying to figure out the last bit of our shopping. I'm still not feeling 100%. I have a bad cough now. It's made me very tired. I'm trying to get some stuff done too though. The holiday countdown is on! It won't be long until Christmas. I am sharing a holiday themed picture today for my advent blog. We called this picture "holiday hooters". This is one of Master's favorite gifts to get at Christmas time. A nice package of tits ready for His use. :) May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A quiet Skywalker Christmas: Day 11

Today is day 11 of having an #adventblog. You can check out Mija's blog to see who is participating in this fun series! We are all counting down the days until Christmas on our blogs. I will be blogging daily until Christmas! I had planned to write a blog post about the play on Friday night. I had some very intense and dark play with Master. I don't have much energy left though. We spent a few hours doing some Christmas shopping today. I'm exhausted. I didn't get to do very much yesterday because I was sick. I'm still not 100% but needed to get things done. This week is going to be very busy. It's the last week before the kids are out of school. Anakin will then be on holidays. Things tend to start getting a bit crazy. It felt a bit crazy today at the local stores! Wow! Wal Mart was a complete circus. Is it just me or do the holidays bring out the crazy people? We went to the mall and were at the food court and one couple was having a big fight about the holidays. lol. Toys R Us and Superstore were also very busy. I find the holiday shopping very stressful. I'll be glad to get it done. I've still got a few more things to get. We are planning a very quiet Skywalker Christmas this year. We've often had big family gatherings but we are going to do things a bit different this year. I am still not talking to my Mom. It's going to be a bit of a relief to not have her involved though. She has often added way too much family drama to the holidays. I will not be seeing anyone in my family this year. I spent time with my siblings in the summer and they have their own plans. My Dad has passed away. I may see my Grandma but she's been very ill. My FIL will be included in our family plans. He's alone and needs the support this time of the year. He's got cancer and has had a rough year. We worry about him a lot. I want this Christmas to be very special. Our kids are getting older and growing up on us too. We want to spend a lot of time with our kids this Christmas. I am looking forward to a quieter Christmas this year. We watched a Christmas movie yesterday "Deck the Halls" and really enjoyed that. Many people might not know it but it was filmed locally in Cloverdale, B.C. It's really neat to recognize different places in the movie. Our teen was also surprised that Ferris Buller is in the movie! lol. I love that movie. It was a nice family night. We had the fireplace going. It's a nice way to spend time with our kids. I love that part of the holidays. Watching Christmas movies with the kids. I've got some blogging ideas for the #adventblog this week. I was thinking about posting some recipes as well as talking more about my play on Friday night. I got a very severe spanking. I'm still processing some of my feelings about it and think it will make for some interesting blogging. Stay tuned! May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Sexy holiday stockings: Day 10

Today is Day 10 of having an #adventblog. I don't have much energy to post much today. I'm sick with a cold and flu. I thought my sniffles were maybe allergies but it got worse. I was also up during the night getting sick. So I'm in my pj's and Master is taking care of me. We had a wonderful date night though. He used many different toys on my bottom. I got a warm-up with His hand and the belt. Then he moved onto meaner toys like the whip and cane. It was ouchies on my bum! It's very sore today. A nice reminder of my place. This picture was taken a few years ago during the holidays. I'm wearing my sexy holiday thigh-hi's which have cute little bows on them. I felt so sexy wearing them. :) May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A morning belt strapping: Day 9

TGIF! This is day 9 of having an #AdventBlog. Counting down the days til Christmas. It is hard to believe that Christmas and the holidays are only a few weeks away! Hopefully I'll be able to get a lot more done this weekend in preparation for it. Master's lists of instructions he gives to me helps me to focus and get my holiday errands and chores done. Tonight is date night. I love Friday nights. It's usually our chance to play and spend some time alone. We were lucky to get a few minutes alone this morning as well. He went into work late because he was buying me some medication. I've got a bit of a runny nose and he always takes care of me. Daddy is so good to me. :) He also knew that I needed a spanking this morning too. I did some tweets about it and read them out to him. One of my twitter friends also asked him to give me a spanking. He was happy to give it to me. I was ordered up to our bedroom and the belt got ready to give me a hard strapping. Ouchies! I was squirming and having a hard time staying still! The strapping was very hard and intense with little breaks in between each stroke. I'm having a hard time sitting right now. He promised me more later tonight too! I have a feeling my bum is going to be very sore!! I'm putting up a picture which is one of my favorite belting pictures. I am removing His belt for him. You get a good glimpse of my tits as well. :) Have a good weekend! ~padme amidala

The drama of poly: Day 8

Today is Day 8 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas. I still need to do my Christmas cards as well as finish my shopping. I also need to figure out what I am going to bake. There has been more drama with the poly in the last 48 hours than all year. I've decided to write some feelings out. I didn't get much sleep last night because I was up late talking to Anakin about it. We have been doing the poly dance since 1997. We opened up our marriage and started dated and playing with others. There have been some really great times. Naughty adventures and 3-somes with different people. Unfortunately there has been a lot of drama which came with it. Drama like we've had in the last 48 hours. There has been some problems going on with Irish Boy and I for a while now. Things haven't been very good. It's very difficult when we live far apart and don't drive. We are not able to see each other. This is also a busy time of year for us both. There was a lot of heated texts between us. We are going to try to be friends. I went on a coffee date on Monday. I had no idea that going on that date would cause so much drama! I'm not sure what to think about Kilted_Knight either. Things didn't go very well. I wish he would have been more honest with me. It turns out that he has dated and played with several other people that I know. The Vancouver bdsm community is very small. Everyone seems to know everyone. One of the biggest reasons I don't like going to events is because of running into ex's and people from the past. There were some people who didn't like me. I had no idea that Kilted_Knight dated and played with one of my close twitter/blogger friends. I wish he would have told me. I might have gone for coffee but it wouldn't have gone any farther. I don't like to date guys who have dated/fucked/played with my friends. I found out the next day about it and some other things came out too. It doesn't look very good. Unfortunately someone else (from my past) got involved in this whole situation. The whole thing wound up into a very big mess. It's made me very reluctant to want to date again. It never seems to go well. The dates are wonderful but the drama afterwords is awful. It's stressed me out a lot too. We've had to take a break with the poly. I'm really not sure what will happen in 2012. The journey will continue though. I'm moving forward. Lessons learned. I don't regret any of my poly experiences. All of them have taught me a life lesson. I had a quickie with Anakin after we had a big talk about it all. It was unexpected and sudden. He told me to spread my legs and fucked me roughly. He used his hand to make me cum for Him. Yum! I usually need my toys but it was more personal to have his fingers. It was a nice start to the day. I'm hoping there will be a less drama today. Today is another day... May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Impressions Crop Review: Day 7

Today is Day 7 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas. I am blogging daily up until the 25th of December! I thought I'd put up a review today: There is nothing better than a new spanking toy to test out and review. I was happy to try out a new crop called the Impressions Crop from Eden Fantasys. About the toy: It is made from SportSheets. It is a great toy for beginners or people who want to expand their toy collection. A great deal at only $10.50. It is a bit smaller than other crops. It's only 23" long and the crop part is 2 inches wide. We liked that it was smaller because it fit into our toy chest very easily unlike a larger one would. It's also not as high quality as some of the other ones. It is made with faux-leather. It is a bit flimpsy with the tip of it. Anakin and I both worried that it may come apart with too much use. There is a loop at the end of the handle which Anakin said made for easier use of it. It's got a cute little heart at the end of it which adds a cute touch to it. It is pretty looking. It's also easy to keep clean. We just wiped it down with a wet cloth after we were done using it. It's a very flexible crop. Anakin was able to crop me with it and said it was easy to spank me with. It didn't take much wrist action to crop me. It can give you a lot of pain or a little. Toy Review: We pulled down my panties and tested out the crop on my ass. I got a warm-up cropping with it before he used his belt on me. It was a fun toy to test out. He was able to use this on my nipples and ass and even some of the most tender of areas around my inner thighs. It made my ass red and even a few nice welts with it. Toy Rating: I am giving this toy 3 out of 5 stars. I know we will be using this a lot more in the future. It's a fun crop to own. Anakin's thoughts on the toy: "I really liked this crop; it had a couple aspects that I thought were great. The wrist strap was a nice feature that our other crop didn't have. Felt extra secure when I was using it because of that. I also really liked the length of the crop." "I thought it would be too short, but actually it's a really great length for short and fast strokes and I think it would improve accuracy for beginners. I would say it would be impossible to get as hard a stroke out of this crop as a longer one, but for many, this would be a good thing." Thank you so much, EdenFantasys for allowing me to try out this toy in exchange for an honest and fair review. I've really enjoyed being a part of the Eden Fantasys sex community. Thank you EdenFantasies! Please be sure to check out their great selection of sex toys and sexy stuff! They have a very nice selection of bondage and fetish toys too! They have a great selection of different paddles. Be sure to check it out! They are a really great adult toy store with many more toys that I'd like to test out. It seems like my wish list is getting bigger every day. :D May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A break from the poly: Day 6

Today is Day 6 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days until Christmas. Today has been a pretty stressful day so far. I've had a lot of drama going on with different people. I'd really not like to get into what's happened with Kilted_Knight or Irish Boy. Some people have asked me what's going on and I'd like to leave that private. It's just very complicated trying to balance 3 different guys right now. It's a lot to deal with. I want to make it clear that they are both really great guys. I've enjoyed my coffee date with Kilted_knight. I've had a few dates with Irish Boy. It's been a lot of fun but...this morning wasn't. I had to take an adivan because it felt like I was having a panic attack. I talked to Anakin and he wants me to focus on the holidays and Him right now. He's the Boss and His final decision is the law. I obey Him so I'm going to be taking a break from the poly. Anakin said we can talk about it more in the New year. So we'll see where things go. I plan to focus all of my energy and time onto Master. He's got a long list of things for me to do before Christmas. I'm going to be very busy the next few weeks. I feel very domestic and want to please the Boss. :) I hope that I can still be friends with both Kilted_Knight and Irish Boy. Thank you both for giving me a lot of reasons to smile about the poly this year. I really enjoyed my dates with both of you. May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Meeting Kilted Knight for coffee: Day 5

Today is Day 5 of having an #adventblog. Counting down the days towards Christmas. You can still join us by doing an advent blog. Check out Mija's blog for all the information. It's been a pretty good Monday today. I started off the day with a quickie with Anakin. I had planned to use my Hitachi and other stuff but got a text from a friend asking to get together and meet for the first time. I've been chatting with @Kilted_Knight for a while now. He was going to be in the area and asked to meet me for a coffee. I always get so nervous when I first meet someone. I admit that I can be very shy the first time you meet me. We met at the Wired Monk. Kilted_knight is very handsome and knows how to flirt very well. I really enjoyed our coffee and getting to know each other. I got a few surprises. It's a very small world. He knew who my Dad is!!!! I guess it isn't that big of a surprise considering my Dad was very well known but still...I couldn't believe it! We also knew a lot of the same people on twitter and through the Vancouver bdsm community. We share a lot of the same interests as well. I lost track of time while talking with him. We did a lot of flirting and there was even some kissing and hair pulling too. *grins* I admit that I was very shy about it all though. There is no doubt in my mind that he's a Dominant. I could feel a lot of Dominant energy from him and he made me blush a lot. I really enjoying meeting him today. I know we will be good friends. We did discuss doing some playing sometime and getting to know each other more. I'd really like that. He's very interesting and handsome and a really fun guy to be around. He's also got a really wicked sense of humor. I really enjoyed having coffee with him today. :) You can follow him on twitter as Kilted_Knight. He's also on Fetlife. I'm sure I'll be blogging more about him as I get to know him more. May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

I love belt spanking: Day 4

Today is Day 4 of having an #adventblog. I plan to blog daily until Christmas. Hopefully this will inspire a lot more blog posts. I have been talking about belt spanking on Twitter today and it inspired a blog post today. Check out my tweets: https://twitter.com/#!/padmeamidala We have put up many belt spanking pictures on JTTDS. One of our most popular is the "bottom and belt" picture that I am putting up today. It was voted most popular HNT picture in 2009. I have also made it pretty clear that one of my biggest fetishes is belt spanking. You can spank me with any toy but the belt is my personal favorite. I am not sure I've talked very much about where this fetish came from. I've decided to talk about it in my post today. I am not sure when I got my first childhood belt spanking but it was one of my earliest memories. My Dad was very strict and controlling. It was very common to get the belt growing up. I knew several friends who talked about getting it when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. Childhood spanking is now considered taboo and most people would probably be called into social services now for using a belt on their child. My Dad used his belt just like his Dad did though. That's how a lot of kids were punished growing up. I can remember my Dad taking off his belt and laying it on the kitchen table to make me and my siblings eat all of our dinner. It was very clear that he was the Boss in our house. Getting the belt was not fun at all. I feared it and would feel a big sense of dread when I knew I was getting a belt strapping for punishment. We got it until we were teenagers and then my Dad found other ways to punish us. I was cleaning out my Dad's room one day and found his belt. I was about 15 years old. I started to have fantasies about it which was very troubling to me. I masturbated thinking about getting the belt. I really believed that something was wrong with me for thinking that way though. There was no internet or information out there about spankings. I was deeply ashamed. My desires grew after going for a visit to England and hearing stories about corporal punishment from my cousins. They got the strap at their school. The desire grew in me. I got my first adult spanking from a high school boyfriend at 16 years old. I coaxed him into giving me a paddling with the ping pong paddle. He fondled me to my first orgasm from a guy after paddling my ass with the ping pong paddle. I went home floating on air. I checked out the marks on my ass in the bathroom mirror. I thought I had found a partner who understood me and my desires but I was wrong. I phoned him up and didn't expect him to be so upset about it. He was horrified by what happened. He told me that it could never happen again. This made me feel even more ashamed for my desire to be spanked. I really thought something was wrong with me. I had no one to talk to. I covered up my feelings for years. I didn't think anyone would understand. I was shopping one day with Anakin and the desire came back again. We were best friends and he was shopping for new clothes. He wanted a new belt and we went into the section at the store. I couldn't handle it. I literally took off as fast as I could which troubled him. I didn't have the guts to tell him that I couldn't be around belts. I was afraid he would see right through me and my desires for belt spanking. The first spanking I got from Anakin was a cropping. He used a crop on me which was purchased downtown Vancouver. It took me a long time to finally be able to tell him about my fetish for belts. I discovered the internet in June 1997 which changed everything. I found D/s, adult spanking, and poly as well as other stuff. I realized that I was not alone in my desires. I'll admit that I was shocked that other people out there had a fetish for belts. I have a very big belt fetish. I notice a belt on a man before I notice anything else. I fantasize about it often and many masturbation fantasies revolve around it. You can spank me with any toy but a belt will get my attention the fastest and make me very wet and aroused. Anakin has owned many different belts. My personal favorite is a nice thick black leather belt. Perhaps this is because my Dad used one like that on me for years. My favorite spanking stories to read is about belt spanking. The other toys just don't do it for me like a good hard belting. I had one poly partner who knew about my belt fetish yet never used his belt on me at all. He liked to flog me. It was ok but not the same for me. I've had other poly partners who went out to buy a new belt just because they knew I was so into it. I love everything about it. The sound of it coming out of the loops. Seeing it folded while being lectured. The jingle of it in His hand. Having it give me a very hard strapping. It is very rare for me to play with Anakin and not have the belt be a part of it. He knows my fetish for it and loves to tease me with it often. He will take it off and put it on the nightstand so I can see it while cleaning or even just to remind me of my place. I love everything about His belt. I am very glad that there is the internet now. I'm able to connect with others who share my love of the belt. I really did believe for many years something was wrong for me for liking it so much. I am also lucky to be with a partner who understands my fetish for belt spanking and is able to fill that need in me. I think I'd have a hard time dating anyone at this point who didn't have a belt or want to use theirs on me. It is one of my biggest fetishes and turns me on like nothing else. Anakin has used his belt on me in several types of ways. I've had my hand strapped. He's strapped my pussy to an orgasm. He has strapped my nipples and tits. Of course my ass has had LOTS of attention from his belt. I love belt spanking!! :) May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

A wonderful date night with Anakin: Day 3

Today is day 3 of my #adventblog. I'm really glad it's the weekend. Last night was amazing. I had a really amazing and wonderful date night with Anakin. There was hours of play time in which he used many different toys on my ass. There was also some bondage with my wrist and ankle cuffs. He fucked my ass hard after giving it a hard beating. I had a really intense orgasm from it all. It was really nice to be able to connect with Master. This morning I got a really hard hand spanking from Anakin. This was the 3rd day in a row of getting spanked. Ouchies! My bum was on fire when he was done!! We weren't able to do anymore play though because our son came back early. I'm feeling a bit of sub drop happening right now. There isn't much happening today. I really want to be in Master's arms but don't see that happening until later tonight. I want to cuddle up with Him right now. It feels good to have our holiday stuff mostly done. We have a bit more shopping to do and that's it. Our place is decorated and all the lights are up. It's been really nice to even watch a few holiday classics like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. You are never too old for that! :) May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Date Night Tonight: Day 2

TGIF! Today is day 2 of having an #adventblog. Please check out Mija's blog if you are interested in joining us by having a countdown on your blog towards Christmas. Tonight is date night with Anakin. We played a bit yesterday but there was more promised tonight when we get a chance to be alone for the whole night. He said there would be other toys used (he used his belt and hand yesterday) and also bondage. He wants to try out my new ankle cuffs a bit more too. I will be reviewing those very soon! I am a bit sore from the spanking yesterday but craving more. Anakin wrote a tweet this morning which made me shiver: "Whatever I decide we're doing it will most certainly involve your ass and My belt." So now my mind has been thinking about the belt and play time tonight. I can't wait to play on the darkside. :) Have you checked out my Tumblr? I set up a new account and have added lots of sexy pictures to it. Check it out! May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala

Advent Blog 2011: Day 1

I have decided to participate in a great idea from my blogger friend, Mija (el tercer ojo). She has started a holiday series called Advent blog which is a countdown on your blog towards Christmas. You blog every day about whatever you want to and do a count down towards Christmas day. Mija explained about doing an advent blog: "If you do decide to play along there are no rules, no topics and no guilt for missing a day (I may struggle sometimes myself). But do let me know either here or on Twitter. I want to put a list of everyone Advent blogging on my posts." "You're welcome to do the same or not, whatever seems the most fun. Don't feel you have to blog about any specific topic. My own will be about whatever is on my mind for the day, be it holiday related, kink related or some political topic I can't leave alone. My only suggestion is that you use this style "My Blog Title: Day X" so there's a countdown to the 25th." I think this will be a lot of fun and got permission from Anakin to participate in it. I had a really fun day today with Master. He was home from work. I got spanked with his hand and the belt. We had some great sex and orgasms as well as lots of cuddles. Tomorrow is date night and lots more fun! I'm a happy girl. :) I hope other bloggers will join Mija and I in doing an #adventblog. I look forward to counting down the days until Christmas! May the force be with you all!! ~padme amidala
