*update 8/27* I posted this in the comments section, but am reposting it here for a little update without having to scroll:

I’m continuing to rest and recover. It will still be a long journey to wellness. I think the hardest battle is not one of patience and self-care but having to fight doctors and other idiots to attain proper care and what is best for me as a person, not a number or another appointment slot to be pushed back by 2 months due to poor scheduling. I’m pretty frustrated and disgusted at this point.

Thank you to all of you that have kept me in your good thoughts. You have helped me to make it through this hurdle.

And thank you to those of you that have been so understanding and kind and given me the necessary time to recuperate a bit. It was a set back health wise to endure the surgery and I needed every minute I could get to rest and / or sit in a painkiller induced haze!

Yes, Irene is headed our way and due to hit our area tomorrow morning. I will therefore be posting the Punished Brats’ update that I normally put up on Sunday evening online tonight just in case of power outages or problems connecting to the server due to the storm. I would never want to let anyone go without their spanking fix!

Just wanted to drop by and say a quick hello to let you all know that I made it through surgery ok and am now home.  Thank you to everyone that kept me in their thoughts and prayers.    You are all very sweet and kind. 

I am in quite a bit of pain and discomfort and the reality of just what I have ahead of me in terms of recovery is hitting.  I’ll need about 6 weeks to recover from the surgery itself and it will be a couple of months after that to then hopefully receive therapeutic benefit from the procedure.  I will hopefully be able to regain some normal activity before that point.  Spanking activity is still very much up in the air, but I’m putting any question of that very much on the back burner.  For now I just need to focus on the very basics such as being able to regain the ability to eat and walk and things like that.  However, just because I can’t play, doesn’t mean I have to sit quietly on the sidelines.  I still hold true to my promise to blog on topic in the meantime very soon.  Just wanted to give this little health update to let all know that I’m still here and intend to kick some health recovery @$$.

I’m off to the hospital for surgery so don’t worry if you don’t hear from me for a little bit. You never know what I’m liable to say when on pain meds! When I get home in a few days or so, my mom will be staying with me for a while so I’ll probably still be somewhat limited in how much online spanky stuff I can engage in, but I’ll be sure to stop in and say hi.

I’ll update the Punished Brats site as normally scheduled, but may just be a little quieter on my blog for a bit. But I’m sure I’ll be thinking up some fun new topics as I go stir-crazy in recovery.

I’m glad lots of folks seemed to have fun with the interactive story.  I think it’s time to close this one down.  Perhaps we can do another one in the future. 

For today, I want to share the most recent Pixie’s Previews video clip that I just posted on Punished Brats.  It features highlights and outtakes from our recent shoot with Lorraine Little and Beverly Bacci.  And it aims to answer the question, what could be more annoying than mosquitoes in August?

Enjoy.

Whew!! I finally finished digging my way out from under the pile of editing from the Lorraine and Beverly shoot.

I now just have to work on the Pixie’s Previews video clip and I’m all set. But I can take a breather for now and play on my computer here and there for a bit today.

And so, as promised, I want to kick off the interactive spanking story idea I had mentioned in my previous entry. Now, this sort of concept is / was very popular on some spanking story and discussion boards, but I have yet to try it out on my blog so I still consider it experimental. It could go well and prove to be lots of fun for all or it could become a clumsy mess, a closed post, and something I opt not to do again. But that’s all part of the fun in experimenting and seeing what the outcome is. Ready my fellow spanking lab partners? Grab your white coats and test tubes and let’s give this a whirl.

A couple of posts ago, Richard had mentioned this idea for a blog topic:

“As for blog posts, how about a fantasy one? Pixie has landed in an English country house, what images does that bring to mind? Who are you, when is it, who else is there, what happens?”I’d like to turn this into a storyline fantasy that any and all who wish to participate can join in on the fun.  I will start off the story’s premise by describing the setting and others are encouraged to aid in the development of the plot by adding their input in the comments section.  In order to keep it fair and running as smoothly as possible, there will be some general rules and guidelines:

1. The idea is to get from the initial setting description to having me end up crawling into bed at the conclusion with a sore, warm bottom at the end of the story’s night. 

2. You may write yourself into the story in the role of any sort of character, any age, etc. in the comments section.  Your character can then interact with any of the others already created.  (I only say this so that somene who doesn’t wish to participate isn’t shocked to see themselves written into the storyline without permission.)

3. Although I fully expect the storyline to be a bit jumpy and jagged, you must base your entry on the previous comment entries.

4. Limit your entries to one fairly concise paragraph once per day.  This is to allow others the opportunity to participate and to prevent any one person from completely overtaking the story thread.  It may be tough to wait sometimes, but that can be part of the fun of not being entirely in control and having to patiently wait to see what develops.

5. It’s a fantasy so totally unrealistic occurrences are fine.  You want to write in an unexpected visit from the Smurfs?  Ok, fine.  You want a paddle to magically appear in your hand?  Sure thing.  But I ask to keep these fantasies out of the general squick zone.  No touchy-feely during a parental spanking, no shagging with sheep, etc.

6. If at any point the storyline takes a twist that I am truly uncomfortable with, I reserve the right to pull the alien abduction card.  That means I will write in that aliens from an alternate universe have come to beam me up to another planet and I am completely out of the story.  Most likely, I will close the post at that point too.

7. Anyone that seems to be purposely and or repeatedly breaking the the guidelines will not get the cyber spanks they are after.  They will get corner time in the comment moderation queue!

Ready to give this a go?

It’s barely approaching dawn and Pixie is snuggled deep under the covers of her bed when she feels a gentle nudge on her shoulder.  “Hey, get up!” a voice whispers.  Pixie opens her eyes and blinks to see a girl a couple years older than her holding a feed bucket and tapping her foot.  “You  overslept again.  Get going or I’m going to tell Mother.”  The girl thrusts the bucket at Pixie and walks out.  Pixie rubs the sleep from her eyes and takes in the dimly lit modest country home surroundings before hopping out of bed and …

I have an interactive post planned, but I have decided to wait to put it up as several of my blog friends who might like to participate are attending the Crimson Moon party and are most definitely otherwise occupied!  Have fun all. 

In the meantime, here are some of my recent nature photos.  I’m learning more about the Nikon I received for Christmas and loving it.  I have the additional challenge of needing to find subjects that are essentially roadside as I’m not able to walk any significant distances and my usual nature hikes are out of the question.  Luckily, I live in a very scenic area that presents many lovely opportunities even right next to the ol’ country roads.

So back to spanky stuff next week, but for now, enjoy these relaxing vanilla pics.

I just finished up and posted the latest Pixie’s Previews video featuring new brat on the block, Amaya Solace and Veronica.  Even though I fuss and wrack my brain trying to figure out how to weave the behind the scenes footage into an amusing theme or storyline, it’s always my favorite part in the end.  I get to be crafty and creative in editing and little animations and hope to make something that will make viewers laugh.  Veronica offered quite a lot of smart comments to work with this time around (as she so often does!!) and Amaya is  certainly easy on the eyes from head to toe so I hope you’ll take a look at the video and enjoy.  Plus, I’ve posted it in our new high resolution format to enhance your viewing pleasure. 

Take a look and hear Veronica describe my typical day with my computer.    Pixie’s Preview Video

Well, this will be a bit of an off-topic post, but may answer some questions many of you have been asking.  Not to be a downer, but I’m really not feeling well.  I hope to be back to my normally energetic, bubbly self in a couple months’ time, but for the moment, keeping up with modified daily activities and doctor appointments is about all that I’m up to. 

I will be getting surgery next month at which point I hope to finally start on the road of recovery!  My spirits are excellent even if my body is very tired and have hope that this will work in due time.  The surgery will require two incision points on my abdomen which will then require a bit of recovery themselves and I’m sure that even once I’m up and fully mobile again, I’m going to need to wait a while before contemplating any spanking action.  Also, since I’ll be a bionic Pixie post-surgery, I am not sure how soon or feasible OTK play will be as apparently there is a risk of the medical device breaking or becoming dislodged upon impact or rough activity.  Certain sports are ruled out and you’re supposed to ask the doctor before engaging in any activities beyond like walking or bike riding, but I’m not sure exactly how I would ask about spanking play.  LOL.  What could I say?  Leap frog?  Boogie boarding?  Uneven bar gymnastics?  Anyway, I’ll figure it out in time and I’m not giving up my love of spanking so easily so don’t even suggest it at this point.  Seriously, don’t go there.

I am still very involved in the spanking world in editing pics and vids and doing updates and all the normal stuff for Punished Brats, but as you’ve noticed, I am not up to filming or sessioning and look a bit too ratty for pictures at the moment.  Give it time, and I hope to bounce back.  I know my blog posts have slowed down a lot and I’m a lot slower on emails and I feel bad but I can’t help it right now.  I am making the PB work the priority when I’m on the computer and otherwise resting or infuriating the medical community.  It’s at times also hard to come up with fun and fast blog topics because I’m really not doing much of anything that I normally would blog about and even my interest in spanking (and most other things) wanes a bit when I feel unwell.  Don’t worry, I’m not going to abandon my blog or anything, but I am scratching my head at times trying to think of a topic so feel free to suggest one you’d like to see me ramble on.  The more fun, the better!

When I was little, I would sometimes lull myself to sleep by thinking up spanking adventures.  Not all the time.  Other nights I would fall asleep book in hand or review multiplication tables in my head so that I could kick ass on those dreaded timed quizzes.  I was still young enough to have magical thinking.  I feared my thoughts could somehow float out of my head, up through the ceiling, and be discovered by my parents. 

Hey!  I was a little kid and I also believed there was a monster under my bed.  Actually, after a night of scary movies, the darkness under my bed still kind of freaks me out.

Anyway, the spanking thoughts I had back then were not all that different from the ones I have now.  They mostly involved a boarding school environment or maternal spankings even though neither were my own experience.  I imagined my friends and myself at the boarding school breaking senseless rules and being caught by a teacher.  The maternal scenes in my head never featured anyone I actually knew.  They were vague faceless people who lived in a rural area in a bygone era.  Maybe a little like Little House on the Prarie but with haughty accents.  I don’t fantasize in accents anymore, but pretty dresses and a strict mom with a hairbrush is still a very nice scene in my mind.

Sure, my spanking thoughts have grown and changed over the years as well.  Added to favorite scenarios to imagine mysef in or even to get to role play in also include the rebellious teen and errant office worker, but that boarding school theme is still nearest and dearest to my heart.

Did you conjure scenarios when you were a kid?  Do you have any that still work for you today?

What do you do when the temperatures are creeping up and it’s simply too hot and humid to engage in normal spanking play without a sweatfest?  Do you tops carry on regardless of a sweaty lap?  Do you bottoms pack an umbrella in case of perspiration showers from your spanker (not naming any names here …. cough)?

Air conditioning is a simple and perhaps the best answer.  Helps keep you cool while your bottom heats up.  Plus, the old window units have an added bonus of providing white noise to cover up the smacking sound.  A fan blowing gale force winds can help too, but you’re still going to have that contact lap stickiness. 

But what if AC is not available or naughtiness strikes when you’re outdoors?  A bit of spanking and splashing in the pool is very refreshing, provided there is good coverage from nosey neighbors.  A cool shower wet bottom spanking perhaps?  A quick smack and ice pack cool down afterwards?  Blame all bad behavior on the  blazing heat and kick back with some lemonade and a popsicle? 

I’m kind of liking that last option a lot.  Your preferences?

I made a fun little personality quiz that you can take to determine which Punished Brat girl you are.  Of course that would theoretically apply to only those that would want to envision themselves in the role of a naughty brat, but when taking the quiz, you can answer the question from the top’s perspective by responding in the way that you’d want the girl bound to be over your knee to behave leading up to her punishment. 

Scientifically sound?  Probably not.  But it’s a fun little happy  hump day activity.  Try it out and see who you get!
