Museum Tentacles and Vanilla Touring

So, we went to a museum in the morning, 
sofia, the kids and I.  
My kids loved, Loved the museum.  
It was wonderful.  
Now, because my kids - and others - were around, there is no kink, 
it's just friends going to the museum.  
I made it a whole forty-five minutes with no apologies, by the way.  
So two-thirds of the way through our museum tour, we saw sea creatures...and ya, nilla came to both of our minds...well nilla and her tentacle stories.  Mmmmmmmmm.  Oh the attraction of tentacles...we were surrounded by them....mmmmmmm.  So many kinky thoughts and then ripped back to vanilla questions and answers and child corralling.  Strange dichotomy.

I did make a couple of comments about nilla's stories.  I did mention that I was so glad that he hadn't ever read my blog.  She giggled.

After marshaling my kids through the museum shop...a serious family weakness, we made it to lunch and ... the restaurant had phenomenal food....AND Desserts.  

We got to meet sofia's daughter and granddaughter.  
OMG, her granddaughter won our hearts.  
She is a dolly!!!  
I even got to hold her and play with her!  
You can tell sofia absolutely adores her granddaughter and has a pretty fabulous relationship with her daughter.  
They were so very natural together.   
We had wonderful conversation, all of us.  
It was delightful.  

At the end, they had amazing chocolates and gelatin and pastry...mmmmmm!



We said good bye and I was sad to see our visit end, but I was excited to find my Sir and my bed at the end of a very long journey!

Dinner and a Dom

We arrange to meet at my hotel at 7:30
and We'll follow her to a restaurant.

I get my kids out of the shower (after swimming)
at 7:10 and at 7:21 I get a text
"I'm here" (we're supposed to meet at 7:30)

By the time the kids and I make it outside,
She's waiting by my car.

We drive to a restaurant and go inside.

We're all chatting and after about five minutes,
her Sir comes up to the table and kisses sofia on the cheek.
I stand up and introduce myself and give him a hug
(did I mention I'm a hugger?)

He's ... sweet?

OK, so I type that then think...should I say that?

He was, though.

He was kind to my kids and talkative.

He's got a quite voice, gorgeous hair and eyes that are...
captivating?  probing?  experienced?

He's got a thousand stories and more history and information.

He's happy to talk to my children - youngest to oldest...me...sofia.

It's not awkward.  It's not strange.

Funny...there were a couple of times I thought...
do any of us seem submissive?  Dominant?
Are there any signs?
No one here seems the slightest bit kinky.

No, we just are people, having dinner,

sharing stories, talking.

It was comfortable.  It was fun.

sofia and I got to talk a tiny bit,

but mostly, it was Sofia's Sir and my children...

and I filled in or explained things the kids said.

When we left and said our goodbye's

sofia's Sir gave her a kiss that was ...
noteworthy.

Not because it was inappropriate.
Not because it was explicit.
(my children were there)

But because it was filled with love.

My Pen Pal

So….we drove to town to see sofia – my kids and I. 
We got to her place of work and my children…
who had been held hostage in the car
for just over eight hours were off the chain. 
They were so excited to meet her. 

Ok – so let me back up and tell you a funny story….
we’re driving and my child asks me,
“When is the last time you saw your friend, mommy?”
“Um, well, never.  I’ve written to her and I chat with her,
but I’ve never met her.” I reply.

“Oh, so she’s your pen pal.” He says….

Hmmmmm…..well…….kinda

So, I text her when we arrive and she comes down.
(don’t worry, I used hands free texting)

She walks out of the building and has her phone in her hand –
the one that we just texted each other from.
She looks just like her pictures!
She's looks beautiful.
She's looks confident.
She's looks graceful.

All of a sudden …

I’m nervous. 
I have a momentary…
oh, Shit! moment where I think….
what if?
Was this a good idea? 
What am I doing? 
What if she doesn’t like me?

Then I waive and she sees me and smiles
and 
I’m here in the moment.

I step out of my car and to her 
and hug her.
(I’m a hugger…I like to hug everyone)
Introductions are made and
We go up to her office.

So….indeed, she has a slight drawl and
a kind spirit which precedes her. 
She watches and listens and is calm. 

I feel like I’ve brought in a tornado
with the volume of my children’s voices
and the frenetic pace at which they share information. 

She’s gracious. 
She’s lovely. 
She’s comfortable in her skin.

Her work place has to be one of the most lovely spaces.
Full of character.
Full of charm!
Full of peace. 
Full of positive energy. 
It’s comfortable and inviting. 
Funny, all of those things apply to sofia as well.

Our visit feels kinda like a hit and run.

We talk and my kids…spew information.
- in the way kids excitedly do :) 

Then, as quickly as we arrive,
The kids and I are off to the hotel to relax and swim.

We’ll meet her and her Sir for dinner…
(but that will have to come on the next post)

IRL

I get to meet one of my blogger friends

In Real Life!!!

I'm so excited.

I have made such amazing friends through this blog.
Friends...people I consider real friends.
My blog friends have been fast friends...
people who I feel close to in short order, in part because I can ask them about a recipe, something about relationships or about sex and kink.

I'm still on vacation and thus posting from my phone, so I'll blog more later.

I'll blog about meeting her AND her Sir!!!

I'm sooooooooo excited!!!!
