Sir had to work yesterday, and i was still baking cookies and wrapping stuff all day. After He got home, He went out to the garage to finish wrapping my presents {so i wouldn’t peek. Which i wouldn’t have anyhow. Probably.}
One in particular was intriguing. It was about a foot long and a couple of inches wide. Wrapped in pretty, shiny purple paper, and tied with silver ribbon crisscrossing around it. i had no idea what it could be.
Finally, we’re resting a bit in front of the tree, thinking about bed, and He says that one is kinky, and i should go ahead and open it. O, yay!!
So i do.
Wrapped tightly, it takes me a couple of minutes to get the purple paper off, and then the suspense continues because it’s wrapped in paper bags.
But ~ finally ~ unveiled ~ here it is ~ {drum roll, please…}
Yes, it’s a belt. A leather belt. Two inches wide.
It smells – o, so lovely.
And it is not to wear. Nope. i asked.
Look at it close up.
Isn’t it pretty?
i’m feeling it, and inhaling the scent, and i say i’m surprised it’s beige. He says that’s because it’s raw leather, and we can dye it any color we want.
Sounds like another DIY project to me. More challenges for a non-DIY girl – i mean, really i pay someone to do my hair, my nails, and clean my house… all this sanding and dyeing hands-on stuff is a challenge.
JM, the amazing analyst, would nod if i told him that, and say that Sir’s a wise man, that He understands the importance of being connected to the things in our life, that modern society is too alienated from doing, too removed from touch… and so on . Hmpf.
{Giggling..}
Philosophy aside, i haven’t felt the lash of the belt yet, although He tapped it on my hand, and it makes a nice sting. i’m sure my ass will get to know it soon… Knowing it’s in my future is a lovely start to the holiday festivities.
Today, family and Sir’s grandkids, presents to open, food to eat, and phone calls to Very-Far-Away will fill the day. Hope your day is full of good things ~ whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not!
