Tidbits from an abnormal mother in a normal world

Pinwheel

August30

Prick me!

Being a moderate lover of pain, the Pinwheel seemed like a no brainer for me to review.

With 20 evil little points, the Pinwheel was a curious object for me. I had used something similar in my sewing box but had never thought to try it in this fashion. But my review will prove that not all toys need batteries to be worthwhile.

Running the small head down my thighs, I had a wonderful sensation of pricks with tickling. It was done easy at first, then harder. The 20 heads penetrate the skin nicely, and can either just push the skin or bring a tear to your eye. I was instantly in love as the Pinwheel grazed its way over my legs and arms. The deepest sensation felt was by running over the tender skin of the breasts and inner thigh. No other impliment in my toycase would have caused the same feeling that the Pinwheel brought me.

Batteries aren’t needed when you have a good strong hand and some imagination. The Pinwheel is heavy and nestles into the hand nicely. It has an ergonomic handle and rolls effortlessly. The multi-pinned head moved free and clear, without hitching or stopping. There’s a small plastic sleeve enclosed for keeping the toy clean and protected. Be sure if you run this under water for clean up, that you pat it dry and leave it out so it doesn’t harm the body in anyway.

If you enjoy a bit of sensory play, this is a great toy to add to your toybox. Easy to store and use, the Pinwheel will quickly become a favorite in for your BDSM play!

C-Spot

August30

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Not all reviews can be perfect, happy and worth the time to review.

I was horribly excited to get the C Spot in the mail. I tore it open, grabbed batteries and went giggling to my bedroom. But my delight was short lived.

The C Spot takes 2 AAA batteries. Though it is small, the C Spot does back quite a punch. It is slim and curves very gently at the tip. The flat base head makes it a perfect fit for resting on the clit. Once I turned the dial slowly, I felt the vibrations and was pleasently surprised but that is where my joy ended.

The dial turned and I increased the stimulus but for me, it just wasn’t enough. It is nice, powerful and … boring. I had to use it in conjunction with another of my vibrators to get the full impact of the C Spot.

The variable speed is nice. I almost wish the flathead was abit larger for more coverage. I felt cheated that I was able to enjoy the vibrations but not get all the way over with the C Spot. This toy will still get regular use with other items, but sadly for a quick fix in solo use, it lacks the power to work.

Naked!

August27

Having just joined the illustrious troop of reviewers at Babeland, I’m putting up my first review!

I was given the delight of testing a lubricant called Naked. This is a fabulous totally organic lube that is water based and eco friendly! Naked is not tested on animals and that scored huge points with me. I also have very sensitive skin and since there are no parabens and petro-chemicals, it’s not greasy and didn’t irritate my skin at all.

Using Naked is easy! It came in a great blue glass bottle with a pump top! I love that I’m not squeezing a cheap plastic bottle that will likely fall out of my hands. Instead I just pump and go. Naked has a odd smell but nothing I couldn’t get over. It is thicker then some lubricants which I really liked. It wasn’t as messy and didn’t slide off my toys when I was trying to get them ready for play. The lube stays where you want it!

Since Naked is water based, I felt free to use it on all my favorite toys. My silicone plug was often bathed in Naked and it made for ease in use and play.

Naked cleans up easily. It’s non greasy formula made it a breeze to clean up. Alittle hot water and toy cleaner and Naked was gone and didn’t leave any smell or residue behind afterwards.

I’d be happy to get naked with Naked anytime!

Goodbye

August14

I said a quiet and yet happy goodbye last night to my beloved Purkle Pixie aka the 1997 Dodge Neon. It was lavendar of all things. I had these moon fairy style seat covers on the front and a Happy Bunny steering wheel cover on it with a heart-a-gram (HIM) sticker on the windshield.

Now she is the property of a 21 yr old boy who is confident enough in his sexuality to pull off driving a lavendar car.

This evening, in about 2 hrs to be precise, I will be driving a 1994 Chevy Corsica instead. My mother got a 1995(?) Ford Taurus for NOTHING and is giving me the Corsica. She knew the Neon was falling apart and wanted me in something alittle more road worthy. Oddly enough I’ll rarely be the one driving the car because I drive the van 99% of the time. I make Shawn drive the car since he’s usually alone. (This included the Neon as well.) If you know Shawn or have seen him, imagine him climbing out of the Neon with the wheel and seat covers at work. Totally to die for!

Either way, I will own the Corsica and have a car with A/C that works, not that it matters. Shawn will drive it for now.

Off to eat and then get my car!

JOY!

Heads Up!

August9

Just a quickie.

If you look to the right, you will see a TON more links then I had yesterday. I finally went through my Google Reader and grabbed my most lusted after links and shared them here. These are blogs I can’t live without, must read the updates and share from the most. If you have others you think I’ll like based on the kind I already have listed, please share!

Well What Do You Know…. memes.

August9

So I was right. I am being “encouraged” to post regularly, even if it’s memes and other such things.

Your favorite fictional character – Either Lucian or Kraven from the Underworld movies

Your favorite villain – Probably Viktor from the Underworld movies

Your all-time comfort food – French fries or popcorn

Your favorite fictional family – Hmm they aren’t a “family” in the traditional sense but the characters from ‘Incarnations of Immortality’. They are interconnected so its very family like in nature.

Your favorite non-masked heroic character – Cleopatra. She was a heroine for her nation and her family.

Your favorite movie – Depends on the genre. Cleopatra, 30 Days of Night, 13th Warrior, 10 Things I Hate About You & Other Bolyen Girl.

Your favorite writer – Either Margaret George or Michelle Moran. Colin Falconer is a rising star with me as well.

Your favorite artist – Georgia O’Keefe or Ansel Adams

The first record album you ever bought – Purchased entirely on my own? Def Leppard – High N Dry

The first writer you were hooked on – Stephen King

A person you wish you could bring back – Lady Diana for a famous one, my Grandma Fran for non famous

Your favorite flower – Lilacs but I like most flowers as long as they have a nice scent.

The hobby that takes up most of your free time – Cross stitching, or reading. But lately I’ve been back on my DS alot too.

A game you enjoy playing – Guitar Hero with the kids or Crosswords on my DS

Your favorite singer – I’m going with current fave band on this. Puddle of Mudd. I’m fully addicted to “Spaceship” and “Psycho” right now. But Shinedown is still the ultimate.

Your favourite TV show – Ugh, so many. Project Runway, Pillars of the Earth, Spartacus, Top Chef, Flippin Out, Big Brother (damn you Bill)

Your favorite game – Is there anything other then hockey?

Your deepest regret – That I married too early too many times, had children without thought. I also wonder if I ever told my deceased grandparents how much I appreciated their wisdoms, insights and points of view. I didn’t tell a certain friend often enough either. But none of them will ever know.

Something that makes you sad – The thought of my children never knowing a world without the computer. They have become to dependent on electronics for entertainment. I wish it was simpler. Books were my best friends growing up, so was crafting.

Something that makes you ANGRY – Knowing that right now I’m can’t file for divorce.

Something you worry about – How I will manage alone after Shawn moves out.

Your age when you received your first ever adult spanking – Oh man, sometime in my 20s. I can’t recall the instance or anything but it was quite interesting.

Your favorite weapon – I love floggers but admittedly my experience with other items is limited.

Your first ever pet – I guess the 1st I had on my own qualifies. I had a cat named Fidget. He was awesome.

Your favorite form of transportation – I love to ride the train. I love the motion, the noise and the environment.

Your “happy thought” from childhood – Going to my first NHL game with my folks in St Louis when I was 4. We went to this cool restaurant after called Noah’s Ark I think. I have pictures. There were animals sticking out of the exterior. It was really cool.

Your favorite implement, and favourite place for a spanking – Implement – a hand. Nothing beats flesh on flesh. Place – over a lap would be ideal but let’s face it, I’m a big girl. So probably over the edge of a bed or other furniture.

Your most dreaded implement, and worst position for a spanking – Dreaded? Nothing. I’m still learning what I like and don’t like. Nothing has made me scream “HELL NO NEVER AGAIN” yet. Worst position has to be standing upright though. Too easy to catch the back then.

The most memorable death in your lifetime – Famous death – Lady Diana or John Lennon. Non famous – Fran

What stone(s) would you like in a ring – Depends on the ring. I love emeralds and amethysts but for a REAL ring, nothing beats diamonds. I dont like gaudy though. Simple elegant and square or princess cut.

Your childhood ambition – To be either a music teacher or art teacher.

At what age did you achieve it (if at all) – I didn’t, I went into health care instead.

Your ambition now – To work hard at my job, be a good parent to my children, find my faith again and enjoy a happy even if simple life.

Your dream holiday (money no object) – Traveling Europe. Egypt, Russia and Italy being the primary places.

If you won £50,000,000, lottery, what would you do with it – Convert that to roughly $80 million USD and I would pay all my debt, supply money for all 3 kids college funds, pay off my mothers house and by the lot next to hers so she can expand, give her extra funds for my single remaining grandparent. I would also make a large donation to the Susan G Kommen Foundation. I have a few ppl I would give money to as well. I would pay off Luna’s wedding, help Kaya with munchkin, give Bill money for his grandson’s college fund and retire happily to a warmer state.

What would you like to do this very second – Have the kind of sex I have only experienced a handful of times with the only person that knows how to do it right.

The next holiday you have planned – None in the works here. I am thinking of getting some cash together for a trip to Chicago with the kids to go to Field Museum. It’s a short train ride to Chicago, and spend the day there.

The blogs you like to check out first – Something Wycked, Luna, Kaya & doubleknot

An ex-blogger whom you really miss – lalana. She sent me a “smile box” a couple years back. It is the single most important thing I have EVER gotten in the mail. I felt important and loved more then I ever have in my entire adult life in that moment. I have gotten other boxes in the mail but that one… it was sent with a different intent.

Something you would love to do – Meet Luna, Kaya, lalana, Jo, Mija and Gina.

Casanova Silicone

August9

I’m batting 1000 lately! How fortunate to get the Casanova Silicone Anal Toy for review. I adore anal toys. Anal is newer for me but sooo much fun to experiment.

The Casanova Silicone Anal Toy is soft and supple. It is soft material with a lot of give but firm enough to insert with little effort. My favorite thing about this toy is the flat base. Once I had the Casanova Silicone Anal Toy in place, I was able to sit for hours on end without any pain or discomfort.

The insertable length of roughly 3 1/2 inches is perfect for a long term comfortable anal stimulation. Casanova Silicone Anal Toy moved and flexed with me each time I moved. Sitting was easy and relaxed as well. I didn’t have to worry about slippage with this anal toy either. The beads gave way to my body and I was able to hold it and not risk any unintentional movement or loss of penetration.

Thanks to the good people at Good Vibrations for another great review item. This is great for the novice or the beginner and a star in my toy box.

First Review!

August9

I’ve become involved with 2 new companies to do reviews. My first review comes courtesy of Good Vibrations and Mae. So let’s get started shall we?

I was fortunate enough to get my hands on the Flirty G Waterproof G-Spot Vibrator. Initially I was alittle turned off by the look of it. But once I got it open and started to mess with it some, I was curious.

First off the material is very soft and floppy. It has a ton of give. I like that it’s not stiff at all and is flexible. It’s a phthalates-free toy which is a huge bonus as well. Once I finished inspecting the toy and figuring out how to put the batteries in and locking the cap on, it was time to test it out.

Insertion wasn’t easy given how flexible it is, but it was very comfortable and soft. The nubs rested perfectly against my clitoris. The vibe portion offered a nice handle to grasp. The only drawback is the on/off button is on the end. Thankfully I have long arms but otherwise it’s a slight reach to get your fingers down to the button.

The first 3 settings of the vibe are flat out vibration. There is just a variance in intensity. It’s very standard and simple. Once you get to the settings 4,5 and 6 it’s a whole diferent story.

The Flirty G showed me a whole new side on those settings. 4, 5 and 6 are all patterns! I had never experienced anything like it before. I would get pulses coupled with a longer sustained vibration. Each pattern was slightly different but was something I really enjoyed. Now move on to 7,8 and 9 and you get yet another rockin set of patterns. These were slightly more intense and the pattern was different for those.

Each of the 6 total patterns in this vibe were all something that were new and yet very effective for me. Being that I never had a vibe with patterns before, I found the new sensations to be perfect for stimulation and a rockin good orgasm.

It’s been ages since I have reviewed a sex toy but Mae and Good Vibrations made it worthwhile.


I highly recommend this fabulous vibe! Be sure to check out the entire line of products at Good Vibrations

Maybe More?

August8

I srsly don’t feel like writing. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I don’t have the privacy to just SIT and write. With the kids still on summer vacay, I feel like I never have a moment to myself.

I had to sneak around to test an item I’m doing for review this week. I used both multiple times but I’ve yet to have a moments peace to sit and write, link etc so that I can do a proper review and not one that’s rushed.

I was “asked” to start doing some of the meme style posts but as you can clearly see, that’s not really happened either. I’m sure I’ll get a stern email or something regarding my blatant disregard for doing these. Of course, it’s likely that I would now get one because I’ve mentioned it. I’ll be sure to kick myself later for that blunder. Otherwise I’m sure the person “asking” would never say a word or have noticed.

I have Monday off so I’m going to attempt to get a review done and posted properly tomorrow. I think I can manage to kick the kids outside long enough to have a half hour to write and link without much disturbance.

My 20yr reunion is coming up. I refuse to pay $50 for dinner on Saturday night but I am going to the informal thing on Friday for $5, our school tour Saturday afternoon and the beach on Sunday. Screw the uptight dinner, I’d much rather be myself and have a good time in an environment I can enjoy. Plus, I can’t afford it. Plus I have to take Shawn, to at least part of it. Joy. Can I shoot myself now?

I dunno what the hell is up with me. I’m stitching and reading, vegging to movies regulary and avoiding my blog, most of the net and even yahoo messenger.

So yeah, I’ll be around or something.. at some point.. whenever.

Oh kaya I never found out if you got your books back in proper condition. I hope so.
Oh and Luna sorry about Zeus. I wish I could help somehow, but know that I’m thinking of you and stitching with lots of love.
