As the result of a home improvement project gone wrong, I am now blogging in the dark with a menacing looking hole in my ceiling. After nearly 2 years we finally got around to the chore of swapping out the rainbow colored nursery ceiling fan / light fixture in my office for a more grown-up version. I shouldn’t say we because it was actually my husband and his dad that set to the task while I handed tools up the ladder and did my best to stay out of the way. Some sort of gizmo in the replacement fan broke during installation and we’re now waiting for the apparently vital 13 cent replacement part to arrive in the mail in the next 7 – 10 business days. Sigh. I need to see about getting a desk lamp but at least I have the comforting glow of my computer monitor to light my way. 
Well, after our home improve-not project was complete, we were all standing in the driveway chatting for a few minutes when my husband swatted me on the butt with one of the old fan blades. My eyes nearly bulged out of my head! Not from the pain, but the shock. His dad was standing right in front of and said, “what’d you hit for???”. My husband just smirked and said, “she likes it”. I so badly wanted to turn invisible at that moment but my superpowers failed me.
This is not the first time that my husband has playfully swatted me in front of vanilla friends and family. I swear he must either like flirting with the danger of getting caught or really enjoys seeing me squirm. Or it could simply be that as Sister says … 
a shirt from one of my favorite plays … can anyone guess why?
June 10th, 2009 - 8:55 pm
tsk…you should be spanked for sexism, sweetie. Not nice.
Hope your 13 cent part comes sooner than later.
June 10th, 2009 - 9:29 pm
OH Pixie…I would have loved to have seen your face when your husband swatted you!
I enjoy your blog..thanks for sharing!
June 10th, 2009 - 11:30 pm
That’s so funny! You’ll have to plot your revenge…
June 10th, 2009 - 11:35 pm
“This is not the first time that my husband has playfully swatted me in front of vanilla friends and family.”
Are you okay with this?
If you’re not, I think you’ll need to have a little talk with hubby. I’m shocked just hearing about it, and I wasn’t even the one who was swatted!
I don’t want to make a federal case out of it, but swatting you in front of vanillas not only exposes a very private activity that you share with your husband, but it tends to make light of your spanking interest in a way that seems insensitive, causing you obvious embarrassment. Believe me that I would be really embarrassed in that situation. Maybe your husband doesn’t feel completely comfortable with the practice or does not fully understand it?
It would NOT be acceptable to me under any circumstance if my wife swatted me in public, or vice versa. Spanking is a very private matter, something not to be shared with Vanillas in most cases. Why? Because they simply don’t get it no matter how much explaining is done. Moreover, while we spankos may feel that spanking has become more publically acceptable, I kinda doubt it: spanking still carries the perversion stigma, even among psychologists, so maybe we should not get too comfortable sharing our kink with just anyone, especially family members who may be the quickest to condemn and never forget.
Well, hearing your story has made me real angry! I guess some buttons have been accidentally pushed. My bad!
June 10th, 2009 - 11:41 pm
Hi Pixie!
If it’s okay, I would like to e-mail you about a subject you have just raised. It’s a little off-topic. Thanks! I’ll send me e-mail in a day or two. Work has me bogged down right now.
Before I forget, you look stunning as a brunette!
June 10th, 2009 - 11:57 pm
hillarious, i woudl have LOVED to see the expression on your face.
i cant stop laughing , good for him
even better for you. only thing funnier would have been your dad saying yeah i can see that
keep up the great blog

Attempted home improvements gone bad…Yes I’ve been there done that as well.
At Katie’s old house last year, I was helping her with a flower bed in the front yard. The ground was hard and I didn’t want to spend half a day shoveling and raking. So, I borrowed a rototiller. The tiller worked out really well, I had the soil turned over in an hour. I even bought four bags of red wood mulch to put down after Katie was finished planting. After I finished tilling, she was deciding where she wanted to put her flowers and so on. I walked back in the house for a beer and relax for a while. A few minutes thereafter, Katie comes in and informs me that water is everywhere out in front.
“You hit a fucking water pipe with your stupid machine you idiot!!”
Well she was right. As I tilled the soil, I went in about 5 to 6 inches deep. The main water pipe ran directly under the bay window of the front of her house. I had no way of knowing that. So, I shut the water off in the house and we had no running water for close to 24 hours. As you can imagine Katie was not a happy girl. It’s good thing she’s not a Top. I definitely deserved a strapping for my screw up. Nevertheless, I payed a little more than $200.00 for repairs the following day and all was well. After that, she planted her flowers, I put down the mulch, and all was well with the world once again.
As for a playful swat on the bum in public, I’m all for it.
Your husband is showing you some love because you clearly have a gorgeous spankable bottom and he’s proud of you and clearly loves you.
As for me, I feel the same way about Katie. I enjoy giving her a playful swat in public on occasion. If I thought I could get away with administering an OTK spanking in public, I’d go for it. The only difficulty is that there’s a good chance I might have some serious ‘spaining to do with the Officers responding to the scene. As one can venture to assume, not all Police Officers are spankos. So, I gotta be careful as to what kind of end result I’ll incur due to my use of force~wink.
Pixie, I suspect he enjoys watching you squirm a little when he gives you a playful love tap in public. Certainly nothing wrong with that at all. Can’t say I blame him.
Have a good week.

pixie hope you receive the new part very soon wow your hubby did shock you with your daddy didnt he //?perhaps you should give hubby a whacking lol.oh dear very bad language was used here.nice and sunny here today in u.k. love and spanks from tim xxxx
June 11th, 2009 - 6:58 am
Sweet Pixie, this is why Ive come to love you so. Youre a next door neighbor who just happens to be into spanking! Never change.
June 11th, 2009 - 9:01 am
Pixie,
I, too, hope the part arrives soon. Old ceiling fans are a concern of us like-minded folks. What to do with the old blades (paddles?) is a concern best hadled by the person who might be on the recieving team (sounds like football..lol) should the parts remain lying around for too long. I quickly gather up all the old parts and “volunteer” to take them all out to the trash before the sight of 4 to 6 thin, wide, long, flat pieces of wood invokes action from idle minds.
(I know hindsight (lol) is 20/20, but should the concern ever happen again …. this might come in helpful)
As for the unexpected “swat” on the caboose. It’s all up to how YOU feel about it. If it truely embarressed you then you need to speak to the hubby. If it wasn’t a big deal to YOU … then just some planning for revenge (lol) might surfice. I WOULD make sure he isn’t secretly nudging his dad (and other friends) and saying, “Promise not to ever say anything but Pixie likes ….”
THAT would be a different story entirely!!!
Love the picture (T-shirt)

A fan of Late Nite Catechism, are we? As the Church Lady would say, “Well…. Isn’t that s-p-e-c-i-a-l!!!!
June 11th, 2009 - 10:18 am
Some months ago Ms. Burns from Realspankings declared to have been forced to leave the industry because her activities were told to the vanilla world. Remembering this story, I think what your hubby did is anything but funny or acceptable. It’s a danger to your freedom to decide whom you want to get to know about this part of your privacy.
June 11th, 2009 - 11:53 am
Hi,
I mean this in a respectful way…in fact, I’m sure all of your fans respect you.
Everyone expresses it in a different way. People can be very open or somewhat shy.
I agree with Spankfun. Your privacy and freedom to decide should always come first.
I’m just saying that because I think you’re special, but that doesn’t mean I have any doubts about the great affection your husband feels. Who could blame him for loving you?
I hope I’m making sense. I know you wouldn’t have mentioned this if you didn’t want honest answers.
Thanks.
June 11th, 2009 - 12:58 pm
Awww. Don’t worry too much Spankfun and dani. You’re reading into things too much. I did my best to communicate the lighthearted nature (and trust me, if there was something I was truly uncomfortable with, I would address it head-on a person rather than blog about it), but I know that sometimes things can be misinterpretted when there is only the written word to go on. It’s very much a playful thing and not even comparable to the unfortunate situation Ms. Burns/Veronica Daniels went through.
June 11th, 2009 - 1:45 pm
Dear Pixie,
I’ve seen many loving vanilla couples exchange a swat or two in public. It’s not that unusual, so hubby giving your bottom a smack in public really shouldn’t raise too many eyebrows.
However, he might want to deep-six that “Because she likes it” talk. Granted, it’s the truth–:-)==but it’s also a personal fact that doesn’t need to be shared with others.
If it comes up again, I would advise a more jokey answer, like, “Because it’s there!”
Dr. Ken
June 11th, 2009 - 2:48 pm
Hey Pixie-
In my personal opinion your hubby has a sick sense of humor and like mine delights in your face turning a darker shade of red than your butt usually turns under his hand. My hubby on occasion has said to my stepmother and father that all the “madian name” likes getting their ass spanked. I like you turn a horrid shade of red and stare at him like he has totally lost his mind. I have asked him why he does this and he said because no one would believe that I liked to get spanked in real life. Maybe the same can be said for your hubby?
Have you ever thought about doing the same to him sometime? Payback can be a bitch!
June 11th, 2009 - 3:15 pm
It’s my honest belief that your husband really loves you. He probably acted on loving “impulse” seeing your bum and holding something to slap it with…
I could have done the same. And saying: “She likes it!” doesn’t do any harm.
MOST human beings like to slap upturned or well-presented bottoms. Playfully.
And that’s all you husband did. Love him for that…
(((Hugs)))) Funbun
June 11th, 2009 - 3:32 pm
Pixie,
I just read the message you wrote after mine..as usual, you just put a smile on my face!
If hugs from you were like candy, I’d have to have the whole bag!
I know you understand about people’s concern for you..:)
Take care,
June 11th, 2009 - 5:07 pm
To assist blogging in the dark, I have purchased from an office supply retailer, a set of “bubble stickers.” They are an alphabet very similar to button candy. I have placed the F and the J on the correct keys, because I never can feel the small ridges built into the keys themselves. I also turned an I sideways for “underline” because I use that feature frequently. When the light is on, the stickers appear on the correct keys, and in the dark, I can keep chatting without losing home keys.
Hope your future home improvements go better.
June 11th, 2009 - 6:34 pm
Greetings! This is my first time posting, but as I will be attending my first party soon (Crimson Moon in July) I thought I’d give it a spin.
Of course everyone involved in a spanking should agree on the particulars, but I am suprised that public spanking is so frowned upon. When I started discplining my girlfriend, we were only 16, and in short order, friends and family all heard or saw her go over my knee (hard to hide in a full house).
I spanked her at school, at home, at family functions, at work and in every public place that she misbehaved in for the next 8 years. We even had a rule that if she required spanking in public, she’d get it again at home, since she should be on her best behavior in public in the first place.
I’d bend her over in front of others as well, either friends or just passersby. I recall once spanking her in a Borders Bookstore, over my knee. Another regular spot was in dept. stores, Walmart and Target, she’d wander off shopping, and I’d have to search half the building to find her. Then it was off to an empty aisle to put her under my arm and spank her. Sometimes people saw us, but no one wanted to take issue with it.
We had a full time domestic discipline relationship, and everyone was in agreement as to the spanking policy, so anywhere and anytime was just normal for us. I am 24 now and single for the first time, and never realized so many people were concerned about other people’s reactions to their personal choices.
I say, spank anywhere you wish (or your husband wishes) and dare anybody to have a problem with it. We always felt a little public exposure adds to the excitement, and definately; your husband likes to see you blush, you can count on it.
P.S. Kinda wordy when I look back at it, think anyone will read it all?
June 11th, 2009 - 7:58 pm
Pixie,
Guess I’ll add a few more comments since this topic is easily going to be at least as long as the previous.
This sort of ties into the last (telling a vanilla friend) topic in that it now raises the concern of not only wondering what the response would be if you told a vanilla friend … it now raises the question of how many blabber-mouths are going to spread the “secrets” that you share in confidence. And some guidelines need to be set with the hubby (translation——- REVENGE).
This might end up with you getting another spanking (Is that really a bad thing? LOL) but I would let my significant other know that if he verbally adds a comment like he did before you MIGHT respond with something like …….
“Honey, you promised you wouldn’t tell anyone about that and I promised I would NEVER tell anyone that ……. (oh, pick your favorite)
1. That you wear my bra and panties on weekends.
2. That you like to put on our recording of “YMCA” and dress up like the indian.
3. That you have every episode of “Oprah” recorded on tape and want someday to attend a live show.
4. ……………
Okay, I’m getting carried away and probably deserve some OTK time myself due to my devious thoughts ……
Anyway, this has GOT to be the most interesting blog around and you are truly loved by those who are so concerned about any mistreatment that you even hint at.
Linde

Dan,
I really don’t mean to flame you or upset you but … somehow I just knew a line like this was going to be in your post ……..
“I am 24 now and single for the first time, and never realized so many people were concerned about other people’s reactions to their personal choices.”
May God Bless you and keep you,

June 11th, 2009 - 8:14 pm
hi punkin,
2 quote the bard “much ado about nothing”.
even the most vanilla of souls don’t see a single swat on a nice bottom as anything but fun. between a husband & wife, less than nothing.
about the quote “bcuz she likes it”, well…i’d have said bcuz it’s there. either way harmless.
& i’d bet the ranch that the most vanilla of women, seeing that would go ” rrrrr, wish it was me”.
i’ll b in touch soonest about the next sesion.
best always
ddon
June 11th, 2009 - 8:39 pm
Dan,
Interesting that you’re now single. Could it be that your relationship turned abusive? Or maybe you’re making the entire story up? And if you’re not, then you took unreasonable changes.
At one time I worked in store security. If I had come upon you spanking your partner while in one of the stores you mentioned, I would have called 911, and then I would have placed you under arrest for disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, battery, and aggravated assault. (Battery and assault are felony charges, by the way.) Because you were spanking in a public place, I’m not sure prior consent by your partner would have been enough for the charges to have been dropped by the DA, especially disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace, which are misdemeanors.
June 12th, 2009 - 12:43 am
Well it seems Dan got his wish! Not only are people reading it, but commenting too!
As for your hubby’s ‘love pat’, it seems to be a deliciously kinky and intimate action that the two of you can enjoy, even with some bemused onlookers. I can’t blame him and would probably do much the same (and have, given any opportunity). And maybe father-in-law isn’t as vanilla as you thought?! Hubby’s interest might not be too far fallen from the tree! And the thought of you with red cheeks at either (or both) end is always a cheery one.
But the point about boundaries is well made and it is important for both tops and bottoms to set and observe due boundaries for their relationship to work.
So the ‘bottom line’ would seem to be how do you feel? Were bounds overstepped either by accident or thoughtlessness?
I feel from the way you tell twas all meant in fun, but perhaps a little revenge might be in order, if only to see if he can blush as red as you. He might ‘dog’ you about it for a while, but there’s the perfect moment for some private making up. (wish I had a winking smiley face, will this do? ^_-)
By the way, whatever happened to your cohort, Miss Juliet Valentina? Hope to see her gracing PB in the near future.
June 12th, 2009 - 7:32 am
pixie your hubby gave you a friendly spank in front of your daddy whats the fuss as you said in your reply .love and spanks from tim xxxx
June 12th, 2009 - 8:52 pm
Think of it this way:
It would have been worse if it was in front of your dad. I think anyway.
June 13th, 2009 - 10:27 am
I think your hubby is comfortable with his dad so it was nothing to him, but because he’s your father in law, being embarassed is understandable in your case.
What did you do/say to him after when you were alone?
June 13th, 2009 - 11:52 am
Pixie,
I assume those old fan blades were made of wood. Did your husband happen to save them by chance, to be re-shaped into implements at some near or future time? It’s a pity to discard something that could come in “handy” at some point or, as they (wish they) used to say, “Mill it up and wear her out; make it do, or spank without.”
June 13th, 2009 - 1:28 pm
Sorry Pixie for hijacking your comments to talk about the happy moments from my relationships. Guess my posting skills need some work. Is that Annapurna guy always so much of a bring down?
June 13th, 2009 - 7:11 pm
JC – b-b-but Sister said it!!
Allie – I did my best to play it off and shoot him a look at the same time. All in good fun though. Glad you enjoy my blog.
T – Most definitely. When he’s least suspecting it …
Annapurna – Yup. I’m perfectly ok with it. It was only a playful swat not unlike one you might see even a vanilla couple give (just not usually in the middle of a conversation with someone else) or perhaps have witnessed on the ball field between players.
A very different situation than what I think you may have envisioned. It’s not as if he whipped my shorts off and gave me a discipline spanking in front of his dad. LOL!!!!!!
Rtg – It was something like this. It really was a pretty funny scene.
Razor – Oh no! What an amazing tale of home improvement gone wrong! I’m glad the repairs didn’t cost your wallet or your bottom more than it did. It was an honest mistake.
Yep, I think my husband does like seeing my squirm a little in reaction to his playful ways – whether it’s a playful swat or ordering the waiter serenade at the Hard Rock on my birthday.
Tim – Nah, I won’t smack him back. I’ll find another way to tease him.
Duncan – Awwww. Thanks! That really made me smile and I don’t have any plans of changing.
Linde – The colorful fan blades are now safely stored in the garage and awaiting garbage day on Monday.
No worries. I wasn’t at all upset by the incident and there is no way that he’d tell his family or friends. It was only a playful swat much like you’d see between a vanilla couple. Even his saying that I like it isn’t enough to blow our cover.
Alan – Yup!!! I’ve seen the show at least 3 times. I’m friends with one of the actresses that played Sister so I’d always get a seat at the head of the class; dressed in my plaid skirt and chewing bubble gum of course.
Dr. Ken – Nope, it didn’t ruffle a feather. The conversation went right back to the topic of how Coca-Cola can be used to help loosen rusty bolts. :-/
Alexandrea – I think you may be on to something. Since most people view me as the quietest, most vanilla little square, they’d never suspect me so he feels reasonably safe making a small joke. I do embarrass him just as badly fairly often. It’s just our loving and playful way we interact. Nothing that truly crosses a personal line though.
Funbun – He definitely does! I’m a very lucky girl to have someone that loves me unconditionally the way he does.
Redchief – The bubble stickers is a very good idea. I did end up going out and getting a small desk lamp the next day so I’m all set for now. How come you type in the dark?
Dan – I hope you have a great time at the Crimson Moon party! I’m not sure that I’d be comfortable engaging in full OTK spankings in public myself. I think that’s a few steps up from a single playful swat, but as long as it didn’t upset or offend anyone else and it worked for you and your ex, then good for you. P.S. I don’t think you were hijacking anything. Your comments seemed on topic to me.
Linde – I threaten to reveal his embarrassing song choices on his ipod or to post a few choice photos to his Facebook page.
Ddon – You’re probably right. A lot of women would welcome a frisky swat.
D – Absolutely boundaries need to be set, discussed, and revised as needed for any relationship and for any given topic. In this particular case, I was fine with what went on. Usually I’m the one that tries to be extra cautious not to reveal anything spank-related out of respect for his privacy so it was all the more amusing that he’d swat me and make the remark. Certainly no lines were crossed here despite my blushing.
Juliet retired from the industry over a year ago after graduating college to concentrate on her vanilla career and interests. I miss her dearly and would gladly welcome her back to PB if she should ever choose to, but regardless, I wish her much luck and hope she is doing well in whatever she is doing now.
Butterflyz513 – Oh yeah! Much worse!!!
2Good – I actually didn’t bring it up to him afterwards. I called him a mutt – a taunting term of endearment I often call him, but that’s really all I said about it.
^Mike – Yep, they are wooden. And in 5 fun fashion colors! But those things are headed for the dump come Monday. Don’t need any more stingy implements around here.
June 13th, 2009 - 8:54 pm
You’re not supposed to look at the keyboard anyway. What kind of lamp? I’ve been building them from scratch since the fifth grade. Made one out of an air (popcorn) popper for a nightstand lamp once. Give me some wire, some sockets and any piece of junk you can think of, and I’ll have you an original in no time.
I built the chandelier for our dining room (from a 218 piece kit from the manufacturer) in about 2 hours while watching a football game one Saturday afternoon. Took four of us to hang it.
June 13th, 2009 - 8:57 pm
Can you make a Diet Coke lamp???
I am super impressed with your talent and tech abilities!
June 13th, 2009 - 11:19 pm
Hi Pixie!
Well, it looks like I’m being paranoid again! But you know I went to your Myspace page, and you go by the name of “Pixie” there as well. So I went to Safari and typed, “Pixie spanking,” and your Spanking Pixie blog topped the list in the search return.
I did the same with my name and got zippo!
I don’t know about you, but I think I would be a little more careful around family and in-laws. You don’t want them poking around on the Internet and finding your spanking blog by accident.
June 14th, 2009 - 7:54 am
Annapurna, you do know that Pixie as well as Amber Wells are just model names, not my real name, right? I’m quite pleased that Spanking Pixie brings up my blog, Spanking Pixie, in an online search. That’s a very good thing. But not to worry, no one in my personal life refers to me by my model name. Please don’t worry yourself so much.
June 14th, 2009 - 8:30 am
Pixie they may not be your real names but they suit you to a T.lovely nature etc tim is my real Christian name well timothy prefer the shorter name really love and spanks tim xxxx
