Time sure is flying. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that January has [insert some ridiculously high number of days here], but that’s not how I’m feeling. I can’t believe it’s February 1st. In fact, my husband’s car inspection (due yesterday) isn’t done. Whoopsie! Good thing we have two cars and only use one most days. We have the appointment scheduled for next week, but yeah. Time flies!

I found out today about the FebPhotoFest! It sounds familiar. I’m sure some of the blogs I follow have done it in the past, but since it’s the first and I had already written this post, I’m going to jump in! Hope my Kinky drink suffices for Day 1!

I’ve gotten a bit off track with my Anita Blake read through. Remember my initial story about how every time I want to read the series, I start back at book one, but I never make it all the way through. To my credit, there are over 30 novels and they’re still coming out. I spent a lot of time over the summer reading them, backlogging my posts. But then I got to a point where I was caught up… and I’m still trying to push in my book club books and life is busy and… well, I’m behind. BUT. I’m not giving up. I am, however, going to bring you a bonus book, not very kinky, but very sexy that Richard bought me for Christmas. It’s wonderful and I can’t put it down. It’s called Camera Shy by Kay Cove. I’m thrilled to discover (literally as I went to get the link for this post) that it’s the first of a series!

Reading romance that’s body positive about a woman who does not look like a model is wonderful. Richard selected it carefully, recognizing my own body image issues. He finds me beautiful. Actually, really does, and he tells me that all the time. Of course four years into our relationship, things aren’t as hot and heavy as they once were, but we find time to connect, and he still tells me how he feels about me and how pretty I look. The book was a good choice, Richard (who rarely actually reads my blog even though he helps me write it sometimes, haha). And I love you. ❤

So tonight, CHEERS TO A NEW MONTH!

I mixed some cranberry, orange, and pineapple juices with this Kinky drink some friends got me. It was a delightful toast to a new month. And at least *something* in my life can be kinky this week. Due to a planned medical procedure, I’m not allowed to have penetration for five days. Day 2 done, but I suspect we’re going to find some other kinky things we can do without penetration soon. I’m dying here!

What are you looking forward to this month?

Join in on the February Photo Fest Fun!
