I received this lovely. lovely gift from my friend Ronnie over at Heart and Soul.
A while back
she posted a drawing I illustrated for her.
I wanted to create
and send her a picture where a lovely, albeit naughty lady was getting caned. Ronnie told me she loved the picture and
posted it here. She sweetly suggested my artwork could be the answer to the nasty Google police!
Although
unnecessary, she wanted to send me a surprise. We corresponded and she
thoughtfully sent me the delightful present pictured above! I loved, loved the
surprise!!
HOWEVER…….
It wouldn't be ME if there wasn't a story behind the arrival of the spoon!
Ronnie and I
guessed approximately how long the package would take to arrive. Anticipating
the gift could be used for TTWD purposes I mentioned I would be receiving a
package from overseas. In my house all bets are off when a package arrives. Everyone knows and wants to SEE!
My mother in
law rather suddenly moved back in with us. We are happy to have her once again,
but there are privacy issues of course. I was
concerned that my Mil would see the package and open it thinking it was from
the Scotsman’s cousins from across the pond.
Anyway, one
evening my guy took his mother out and was running errands….
I was
quickly preparing dinner after work. You know those frenetic hurried nights
when you are rushing around….?
My Scotsman
and his mom walked in as I was putting food on the table and I heard her say,
“Oh that must be the package Minelle’s been expecting!”
To say my
ears perked up and I was excited would be an understatement.
So---- MY….snort……not....DARLING……Scotsman who can NEVER, EVER be
discreet... Says, (Bellows) “Well, Open It!”
I give him
the STINK EYE! Eye brows lifted and trying to whisper….., “LATER!!”
He says, “WHAT?
Come on let’s see!!
With a quiet growl
at him and eyes squinting I turn, sweetly altering my expression in the direction of my mother in law. (okay....remember I am feisty)
As I begin
unwrapping the package I see what it is. Before pulling it out I comment to know
one in particular, “oh WOW cool, this is the friend I always talk about “cooking”
with! LOL!
(Snort, sorry Ronnie!)
My MIL says…..I
KID YOU NOT……
"What is that for?"
Now the
woman hears my guy threaten to spank me just about every day…..
I think she
knows…H*!! she has to know.
He's goofingly spanked me in front of her!
But just in case, we are leaving it in the kitchen until she forgets.
If you are wondering…..I have voluntarily bent over our island counter to test out the
spoons effectiveness!
Perfect!
Made AND used with LOVE
Smiling.
Thanks Ronnie!
Minelle
Hi Minelle, what a wonderful gift! How lovely of Ronnie. It is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I can just imagine you trying not to open it in front of your MIL, with your Scotsman telling you to open it. I laughed out loud at your comment about it being from your friend you talk about cooking with, and your Mil's reaction.
You will have to give us a review :)
Hugs
Roz
I know Roz!
DeleteI wasn't quite lying...There are those times when my bum is cooking!
I will give a review!
HI Minelle, what a lovely present!! Oh I would love to have seen your face when it was opened in front of your MIL. Bless. Hope you have fun with it
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Hi Jan! I can tell you that I am hoping to have fun with that spoon! Maybe I will do it myself! Snort! The Privacy issue...Ya know?
DeleteHi Minelle, I love that wooden spoon, it's awesome. But that H had you open the package in front of your mil is embarrassing. Great that you had the cooking excuse.
ReplyDeletehugs
Nina
Hi Nina, Sometimes I believe embarrassment is a very real 'normal' part of my life! I definitely thought on my feet!
DeleteThat is just beautiful! She sent me canes!! You would have had a harder time explaining those!
ReplyDeleteHi PK. Shiver....Canes! I remember that! You tried them if I recall!
DeleteYou are very welcome. Made me laugh again reading about your MIL. Love the title of your post.
ReplyDeleteCan you image if I'd sent you a cane, what on earth would your MIL have said.
Love,
Ronnie
xx
Thanks Ronnie! The Title came to me at the very end of my post!
DeleteI CAN ONLY IMAGINE her eyes widening at a cane! LOL
Hmmm .....what would I say? Oh I would tell her it is an antique art instrument!
LOL......The spoon is beautiful.....and you story is priceless....I could picture it in my head as I was reading...
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Hi Abby. I am so glad you could picture my red face as I was sweating bullets! Giggle!
DeleteSnort. So typical you.
ReplyDeleteHey there Ana. Huh???? Yea it is typical! Every single crazy moment!
Deletespoon is beautiful and the story, well I'm ROFLMAO. Like abby, I can picture myself as a fly on the wall at that moment.
ReplyDeleteHi Leigh...LOL my Scotsman should take up your suggestion of following me around with a camera! We all would be ROFLMAO!
Deletesuch a fun story. beautiful spoon. :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Terps! The spoon is gorgeous! I am glad I could make you smile!
DeleteLol!! Thanks for the laugh, Minelle. Make sure you remember to put it back in the kitchen after each use before she asks you what happened to it!
ReplyDeleteHi Sadie. You know...the funny thing is I have done that!! I am conscious of putting it back in the exact same place!
DeleteROFLMBO! You and your Scotsman are just too funny. Congratulations on your gift...it is lovely and well deserved. Ronnie has very good taste.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...
Cat
Hi Cat. That Scotsman is funny...me not so much unless I have a 'Martini'...or two in me. Snort!
DeleteThanks, Ronnie chose a perfect gift!
It is such a beautiful spoon, Minelle. I can imagine the laughter when you opened it in front of your MIL like that. Typical of you! Good grief, fancy bending over a counter voluntarily!!!! I hope you kept your jeans on - wooden spoons are not to be trifled with.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Ami
Hi Ami. I was not laughing...you all would have-- considering what you know about the spoon!
DeleteTypically atypical, yes that is me!
Of course I bent over with my jeans in place! Do you think I am daft?
LOL don't answer that!
Loved reading this - totally had me cracking up, from your not-so-discreet hubby to your maybe-a-bit-nosey Mil. Who knows what she really knows - but at least she doesn't roll her eyes at you like my kids do. I only blush when I'm in front of them, which only confirms to them that I'm a 'naughty mom'. ;)
ReplyDeletehugs,
Cali
Hi Cali. I get the blushing since I have always turned red when embarrassed! Your kids probably just think you are cute!
DeleteI have so many laughing moments with my Mil!
hi Minelle,
ReplyDeletethis was a pretty good story and you did some fast thinking on your feet...........LOL. i'm betting you were blushing up a storm in either case............LOL. i checked out your caning drawing and i thought it was very good. you drew a nice looking spankee and i particularly liked her nicely rounded, spankable bottom. i also like the way you have her looking around trying to see what's going on. very nice pic. thanks, phil
Hi Phil. Oh yes I was blushing! No matter how many times these things happen to me I still blush.... Or laugh like crazy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on my drawing! I hope I get more time to draw soon!
Funny! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina. My life can be one big joke at times!
DeleteWhat a beautiful spoon!!! And too funny about opening it in front of the mil!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Renee. I love the spoon!
ReplyDeleteYou should hear what she said after the Outlander spanking scene! That was funny too!
