I don’t really have any music that I head to when I’m sad or upset. I tend to only listen to music when I’m happy.

Hey! I actually found an A close to the beginning of the month….It happens occasionally
Continue reading “A is for Absolution”P is for Pi Day
Or in the Snake household, Pi Day=Anniversary! Since the world is a wee bit chaotic at the moment, I thought I’d share a picture of us from 2016. It still seems appropriate.
Continue reading “P is for Pi Day”T is for Trust
When I think about the foundation of our dynamic, the first word that comes to mind is trust.
Continue reading “T is for Trust”C is for (Steeled Snake) Charmer
I don’t know if we have ever told the stories about our pen names, to be honest. The names actually came before we started the blog because we needed Twitter handles.

MMMmmmmmm… She says in her sleep… I think.
Continue reading “C is for Chastity: That Overnight Pressure”E is for Expectations
When I first started thinking about this prompt, all of the quotes talked about making sure you have low expectations to avoid being hurt or disappointed. While that way be true for the “outer world,” I don’t want to live that way within our marriage and dynamic.

I’ve been doing this chastity thing now for several years – and life happens along the way. I wanted to quickly share something I’ve had to re-learn just recently.
Continue reading “Realities of Chastity – Suddenly, it is Chafing!”U is for Us
As part of the 4Thoughts meme, we have updated our About Us Page. I have linked the old one here.
Continue reading “U is for Us”C is for Camping
Back in the day–college day–we didn’t have a lot of money. We stayed at a lot of slightly sketchy motels for some privacy from roommates, but we did have one really fabulous weekend in the canyon just above Sedona.

“Remember that first day of college after our parents finally left?”
Continue reading “P is for Pine”P is for Popcorn
OK, Charmer, this month is supposed to be about summer and the best you’ve got is popcorn?

Each day…
Continue reading “K is for Kiss”R is for Road Trip
This summer has been unlike any other that any of us have probably ever known. The lockdowns and restrictions have changed how we “did” summer. Most of us would have headed off to the beach or gone to a favorite city, but stayed home as we hope that next summer will be different.
Continue reading “R is for Road Trip”L is for Lightning
Usually this time of year, from early July to the beginning of September, is our monsoon season. It is when we get more than half of the rain for the year and the triple digit temperatures bring violent storms, flooding, wind and lightning.
Continue reading “L is for Lightning”F is for Flexible
I know–you all think that I’m just easygoing and nothing every fazes me. It’s the vibe that I always give off. Not.
Continue reading “F is for Flexible”S is for Sixth Sense
The first time that I remember having THAT feeling, I was in 4th grade. It was a Sunday night after dinner and just before the phone rang, I told my mom that grandma was going to call. The phone rang less than a minute later with her telling us that my grandfather had died.
Continue reading “S is for Sixth Sense”A is for Alone (Together)
Those of you with extended families might understand the rules for watching TV series–there are some that you can only watch when all of you are there. You can’t cheat and watch ahead even if there is nothing else to watch.
Continue reading “A is for Alone (Together)”A is for Arizona
The first thing that we always get when people learn that we live in the desert Southwest is “But how do you survive it being so hot?” Followed by the assumption that we live in a kitty litter box.
Continue reading “A is for Arizona”Strengths and Weaknesses
I tend to be nitpicky. I tend to be obsessive. I’m quick to anger. I am stubborn. I hate criticism. I’m sure Snake could help with other traits that aren’t coming to mind.
Continue reading “Strengths and Weaknesses”Is it Fate?
I have never had a good relationship with the idea of fate or destiny or whatever your word of choice is.
Soundtrack of Charmer and Snake
Since I have been with Snake more of my life than without him, picking songs becomes a challenge because there are so many.
Continue reading “Soundtrack of Charmer and Snake”We Miss Traveling
Snake and I tend to take quite a few short trips each year. Several to visit family as well as one or two that are just for us to get time to reconnect.
Continue reading “We Miss Traveling”Charmer’s Take on Only the Good Die Young
I admit that this was the first song that I thought to write about with this prompt. And then I tried to think of another because it was one of my first anthems and I figured that I must have moved past that by now. And started spinning and asked Snake what song told about me and guess what he said? Yup.

Hey….Yes, I know. We’ve been absent. Life has been crazy here just like with everyone else in the world and we just needed some time to hide and try to figure out any sort of normal.
