treats & seduction

Quite tired this evening after working all day today and being out late last night with my daughter trick or treating. We had much fun trekking from one spooky house to another's front door, collecting treats for over two hours before arriving to her school for an evening display of fireworks. My daughter thinks that it's very cool to be on the playground late at night when it's dark and filled with all her school mates dressed in costume.

Hot chocolate in a covered mug and the rain held off for most of the night, how fortunate were we. I was prepared though with an umbrella with us and a large clear recycle bag to drop over my daughters costume so the paint wouldn't run off of it should it have rained. My daughter was a home made / self made box of Smarties for Halloween and I was my bad self wandering about with little pink horns on my head and flashlight in hand so I wouldn't get hit by a car.

I've been asked out on a date-date by a man. A man who knows all about me, shares none of my pursuits yet admires my convictions and occupation. I find him to be very attractive, we've been friends for a long time and neither of us can deny our attraction to the other. Now that I've been asked out I'm realizing that I want something out of this date.

Seduction, I want to be seduced with language, food, glances, music and him. I'd like to sit back and allow this man to show me a night out with out myself trying to lead the way or direct our path. I'm not talking about submission. We're not going to do any SM play. I'm talking about dating rituals as I know them and I'd like to partake. A movie, a walk on the beach, a scenic drive & picnic, something I've not planned or orchestrated. I'm not there to bottom, be submissive, a little girl, a Top or a Dominant, I'm going to go and be his date for the night.

Later tonight I'll email him back and let him know that next week after I return from teaching at The Wet Spot in Seattle I'd like nothing more than to spend time with him. oOh I am so looking forward to this date - the last time he and I went out, he carried me in arms to his vehicle and to his bed, something that excites me.

My daughter is in her bed sleeping right now. Allena is safe in Seattle and Jim is tucked away nicely in Bellingham. Doug is at home with his wife and kara is cuddled up to her fiance in bed. It makes me feel secure to know where those that I care for and love are. We don't need to be together for me to feel connected, I just need to know the basics of where everyone is, how they are with themselves and also with me.
