Well swats…Really!
I know when
life is getting too busy for me!
It is
often when I start screwing up. (Like when I wear clothes inside-out) I forget important commitments, never people,
but activities or crucial promises of my time.
Each day begins at the crack of
dawn…and I am pulled many ways….like everyone else I know-- but….
Sometimes….
Maybe I
forget to teach my night class…Yep happened twice in the not too distant past!
( To be honest the students cancelled twice on me so these were add-ons)
Maybe I
forget to contact someone to fire the kiln at a class I teach. (Sigh) My day is
so packed this happens often, and then it is too late to fix the problem.
I have to
use my own money to order supplies because my time is so limited I need to
hurry and get it immediately, instead of anticipating my needs…Therefore I need
to wait for reimbursement…(If I do not misplace the receipt)
And….maybe I
don’t want to take the car in to have the fluids topped off because that is his
job…..So I drive without wind shield wiper fluid… Not again…. I know it is
DANGEROUS…LOL
So to get to
the point…My Scotsman always swats and tosses me over his knee when I am snarky…etc.
But often the stress is still there! Surprised?
Friday we
were going to meet a couple to have dinner and drinks at an Irish pub.
Entertainment and dancing were on the agenda! So were TWO Martinis! Ahem….After
one drink before food my guy noticed my…FIESTINESS! I was just relaxing and
feeling GOOD!
Dinner was
ordered…..and I ordered another Martini….I think this is where he threatened to
turn me over his knee right then and there…smiling with a "certain" look in his eye.
I said… “No
you won’t”
He said, “You
taking bravery pills?”
I smiled…..Yes
I did…nicely though….
We ate
dinner and I nursed my second Martini. (see?)
The music
began and I was bursting to dance. (Stress relief..here I come) We made our way
to the floor. He took my right hand and grasped it up near his shoulder, his
right arm around my waist and a hand on my back.
The song was
one that many may dance alone or close together! I wanted to (and did) wiggle
(To the faster beat) against his slower LEAD (to the slower beat).
He whispered,
“Come closer and slow down…, let me set the pace.”
I didn’t really
listen….No I wasn't hearing him...
SMACK! His
hand came down on my bottom!
Holy cow! I
looked up and around! No one seemed shocked!
Sheesh! I was red faced and maybe slowed down immediately!
He always
surprises me!
We finished
our dance in harmony!
LOL this was cute. Thanks for the giggle. I needed it today :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better! Happy I could make you smile!

ReplyDeletehugs abby
I love getting out once and a while. It was fun and relaxing!
DeleteBlimey, Minelle, glad you weren't at one of my dance classes, I would have laughed my socks off. I am surprised that you don't get more spankings when I read your catalogue of errors,( no offence)
ReplyDeletelove Jan.xx
Well swatting is often a daily occurrence! LOL
DeleteHowever I am quite cheeky and it surprises me that I am not spanked more either!
'bravery pills' :-) you need to market those somehow!
ReplyDeleteLovely dance.
I think that is a very good idea! He has said that about me forever!
DeleteMartinis and dancing. I am so jealous! That sounds like a great evening, swats and all.
ReplyDeleteIt was Leah! I was in such a mood for a Martini! Yum! Dancing was the icing on the cake.
DeleteI'm pretty sure I saw that move on Dancing With The Stars! LOL Cute story.
ReplyDeleteYes there was that one...or more episodes.....LOL
DeleteThanks Celeste!
LOLOL Minelle!!! :). What's the phrase... 'Dance like there's nobody watching!' I guess that your Scotsman had a handle (or a hand) on that! : D
ReplyDeleteMartinis and dancing- well ya know that yours truly also enjoys those. Though mine are of the... Frou frou variety it seems. Lol! Very fun post! Hope that your stress has dissipated. Many hugs,
<3 Katie
Yes dear anything with chocolate etc....frou- frou! LOL
DeleteDancing like nobody is watching is the best!
ROFLMBO Minelle! Standing ovation for the Scotsman! Oh and yes, you deserved it...too bad he didn't give you more smacks! :D
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings...
Cat
I am sure he will smile at his standing ovation! I would have died if he did more than one there!
DeleteLoL Minelle, gotta love those surprise swats :) It sounds as though fun was had by all and I think there is definitely a market for bravery pills! Cute post. Thanks for the smile :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Roz
Maybe we should all start passing out bravery pills to share! We had a lovely time!
Deleteso sweet...glad you had a nice dance...hope you feel a little more relaxed now. :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteYes I was relaxed! We love dancing! We are no great shakes, but just have fun.
DeleteYour Scotsman has you well in hand.
ReplyDeleteSunny you crack me up! Yes he does...at times...but then sometimes I give him a run for his money!
DeleteHeehe, that was adorable Minelle. I blushed right along with you, lol.
ReplyDeleteI know...right? Embarrasing! LOL
DeleteThanks Julia!
Ah liquid courage. Bummer when the swat 'sobers' you up in an instant. Sounds like you managed to go with the flow after though.
ReplyDeleteSobering to say the least! He always surprises me....But I am sure I test his patience!
DeleteI am beginning to know what you mean about these "public" swats....
ReplyDeleteOnly two martinis, Minelle? My goodness, you will be tee-total next!
And it is considered "lucky" to put your clothes on inside-out!
Many hugs
Ami
Ami remember I am a light weight! I get very tipsy with that first Martini,,,prior to dinner! And then I continued starting the second....without eating....so needless to say I was feisty!
DeleteI guess I am VERY LUCKY!!
Your story of the dance swat is too cute and sweet - love it! This is exactly something D would do, all in wicked fun, and having confidence I would not react badly. I definitely might be blushing quite flamingly though. Lol!
ReplyDeleteYou are so busy and spread so thin - you need a personal assistant, my friend. Hugs for all you do and try to keep up with. Holler at me if I can help with anything. Big hugs!
(Sorry I just now saw this and commented.)
Wicked fun! I love that. With just a taste of the unexpected reigning me in! I was blushing!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I feel I am letting people down since I am spread crazily thin!
I will holler I promise!
