I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend! I had a bit of fun with my buddy $1000 Bill the other day and this shot just popped up out of the blue.  Perfect eh?

In fact the only thing that could make it more perfect would be an 8 - 10 inch needle run from the lower left testicle all the way through and out the top right side with a little “arrow costume” on it of course.  Yeah .. now I am inspired and I have to do that one day soon!

Anyway, In the meantime … I have a slight cough and cold at the moment and my sweetie Brett is pampering the hell out of me today. God I really love that guy!

Ok .. that’s about all I have at the moment .. I am going to curl up with a cup of tea and get some healing snuggle time! Lots of love to all!

Tomorrow, November 10th is the 234th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps.  No matter what my feelings are when it comes to politics or the country’s past leadership, I have always been appreciative of the fact that we have men and women in this country who are willing to fight and even lay down their lives to protect us and keep us free. 

Click the ‘View’ button below to see a special birthday tribute sent to me by the fabulous folks at Go Daddy from who I purchase all my domain names. It is so beautiful that I wanted to share it here as well. The author of it says that it is to “honour my fellow Marines past and present. I’d also like to extend this tribute to all of the men and women serving in all branches of the U.S. Military - Army, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard. Thank you all for your tireless dedication to keeping our country safe.”   View Tribute

I’d also like to offer a buy hour - get one 1/2 price on all play sessions to all military personal past or present for the rest of 2009.  Just drop me a note at Mistress@SxySadist.com and tell me you want to take me up on my Vet’s discount and I will be delighted to show you my appreciation for keeping me safe by putting you in bondage and teasing and tormenting you to both our hearty’s content!   Ooh - Rah!  ;)  <grin>  Happy birthday guys and gals! 

I really enjoyed this passage and wanted to share it:

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.  He said, ‘ My son, the battle is between two ‘ wolves ‘ inside us all.

One is Evil. - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. ‘

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: ‘ Which wolf wins? ‘

The old Cherokee simply replied, ‘ The one you feed. ‘

I know that the 4th of July has come and gone but I just had to share this cool photo with you. Acoording to the person that sent it to me:

This INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918. It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge, in Iowa.

FACTS:
Base to Shoulder: 150 feet
Right Arm: 340 feet
Widest part of arm holding torch: 12 1/2 feet
Right thumb: 35 feet
Thickest part of body: 29 feet
Left hand length: 30 feet
Face: 60 feet
Nose: 21 feet
Longest spike of head piece: 70 feet
Torch and flame combined: 980 feet
Number of men in flame of torch: 12,000
Number of men in torch: 2,800
Number of men in right arm: 1,200
Number of men in body, head and balance of figure only: 2,000

Total men: 18,000

Yes - that really says eightteen THOUSAND men! Wow huh? So maybe I impress easily but I really love how he used different colored uniforms and hats vresus no hats etc to give the level of detai that this has on top of working out the distances and number of people needed to give the proper shape and perspective! Pretty cool stuff!

Ok that’s all for today .. ohhh except I have a playdate with my favorite 6 year old later so life is REALLY good today.

So I found out recently that Brett’s soon to be ex-wife has been creating profiles on Fetlife and Twitter and who knows where else using variations of “SxySadist” as well as photos of me she stole of the web, my real name, home address and phone number and saying some pretty awful and untrue things about me.

I feel that I am understandably upset and annoyed by this but have decided not to vent as publicly as I initially wanted and so I am changing this post. I am hurt and angry and honestly part of me simply wanted to remind her that I can be a far bigger bitch than she could ever even aspire to be. Hell, I am a “professional bitch”. But I also tend to cool off fairly quickly and re-evaluate things. I don’t want to cause my boyfriend or his poor kids any more heartache than they already have, so for now I am going to let this go. 

However, I do need people to be aware that there is someone out there slandering and using my personal information to harass me, so I would like to ask that if you see any suspicious profiles with any my photo or some form of ”sxysadist” please let me know so that I can contact the authorities and have her dealt with legally, because what she is doing is against the law.  Thanks.

So this week I did a hell of a lot of driving, mostly to help my niece with stuff. Monday I took her to Long Island to get a copy of her birth certificate and to visit a good friend of hers, but while there I got to see my sister, deliver her birthday gift a bit late, have dinner with my sweetheart AND spend some time with my dear friend Dave. Whew!! We got back late but it was a super day. Tuesday & Thursday I spent time with my favorite kid… and Friday it was off to New Jersey for the day with my niece again to get another piece of important paperwork squared away.

I was so happy to finally get home Friday night and find my sweetheart already there. Gosh I love that guy and it is so great coming home to him. He is the most romantic guy I have ever dated and I love how much he makes me laugh!! Friday night we just did dinner and snuggled in between me running Nadia to the mall and back for the Twilight party. (She is a HUGE fan, and it trying to convert me to being as obsessed with Rob Pattinson as she is).

Saturday morning my sweetheart woke me up and slipped me into some leather mitten cuffs and proceeded to tease and torment me deliciously for the next couple of hours. Oh My God that was awesome!! I would share more details but I a think I prefer to relish them in private.

That afternoon, (when we finally crawled out of bed) it was a truly beautiful day so we took a walk into town while Nadia roller bladed along, drank tea / coffee in a quaint little shop and enjoyed the sunshine and fresh spring air like young lovers. Then we went to see the new Nicholas Cage film “Knowing”, cuddled and ate popcorn.

Tonight that romantic guy of mine says he has a very special evening planned for me and I am totally excited! I will fill you in soon! I hope all my readers are having as wonderful a weekend as I am!

I received the following message and video link in an email from a fellow domme this morning (Kisses and hugs to you LS!) And to be honest I rarely get involved in anything political that doesn’t directly affect me because I truly despise politics but this is wrong on so many levels! Please take a few moments to watch this video and then sign your name on the petition then pass it on to others who will do the same.

“Have you heard that Ken Starr — and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund — filed legal briefs defending the constitutionality of Prop 8 and attempting to forcibly divorce 18,000 same-sex couples that were married in California last year? The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in this case on March 5, with a decision
expected within 90 days.

The Courage Campaign has created a video called “Fidelity,” with the permission of musician Regina Spektor, that puts a face to those 18,000 couples and all loving, committed couples seeking full equality under the law.

Over 1 million people have watched this heartbreaking video. Will you watch it now? If you have the same reaction that I did, please help me spread the word by sharing it with your friends and family ASAP:

http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/s/divorce

The more people who see this video, the more people will understand the pain caused by Prop 8 and Ken Starr’s shameful legal proceeding.

After you watch the video, please join me and over 350,000 people who have signed a letter to the state Supreme Court, asking them to invalidate Prop 8 and reject Starr’s case.”

Thanks. Best wishes and much love to all .. Suzanne

On this Thanksgiving Day I want to share a message about a special mission with you and ask you to think about how often you take for granted the ability to simply share a smile.

The Smile Train is a non profit organization dedicated to changing the lives of children born with cleft palates.

This may not sound like so special but children born in developing nations do not have access to this simple low cost surgery and as a result many of them are abandoned or left to die.  This horrible disfigurement severley affects their ability to eat and communicate and if left uncorrected they will grow up leading tortured lonely lives.

In just 45 mins, for as little as $250.00  lives of these kids can be changed forever, giving them a chance at a life they could not even dare to dream of before. 

Earlier this year I sent off a moderate donation to the smile train and a few months later I received the before and after photos of a child whose life I helped to change. I was stunned by the difference and it made me feel really good to know that I have helped her.  Really helped her in a very tangible way!

So often when I send money to an organization I don’t know how much of it is actually being put to work doing some good and how much of it is going to making Christmas labels to send to folks to try to raise more money. With a staff of less than 40 people The Smile Train is a the largest cleft palate charity there is but they maintain a very low overhead so all of the monies raised goes directly to helping these kids! 

This holiday season as you look at the smiling faces of the people in your life, please consider helping to put a smile on the face of someone else, possibly for the very first time!

If that thought is not incentive enough, I would love to discount any play or training sessions with me by the amount you donate.  So if you send the Smile Train folks $25.00 for example and show me the letter they send you in thanks, I will discount your next meeting with me by that amount to express my thanks as well! In fact, show me any proof of donation to a children’s charity in 2009 and I will match your donation with a session discount!

Thank you for reading this and I want to wish you and all of yours a very Happy Thanksgiving!

No not that kind!  <grin>  I had the house totally to my self today for awhile (except for the pets and they are sworn to secrecy) so I cranked my Ipod  with a set of the lamest “bubble gum pop tunes” of all time and danced around the house while doing a bit of house keeping and being totally silly!  I would never admit to having any of these tunes on there intentionally but I love them!
