Birthday for Mistress

Today is my wife's birthday. I call her my Mistress because there are so many connotations to that word. A Mistress of Love or a Mistress of Pain for example. But I call her Mistress because I have never lost that feeling of Want that I had when I first met her.

Do you remember when you met someone that you absolutely had to be with but knew she (or he, lets not discriminate) was out of your class, above your level, unobtainable. That's what I feel like on a daily basis. Well.. we have been married for ten years so maybe not daily, but you understand.

So I went out and bought an expensive piece of jewelry, (damn thing cost me a third of a new road bike) and she loves it. I never know what to get her so I just get her everything. Whenever we are out, if she remarks on something with interest, I will take a few days to feel her out to see if its something she really wants or needs and then get it for her. She is really a simple person which makes it easy. Just odds and ends for around the Casa, jewelry...and I need to put my shoes away.

Mistress does not read my blog, so this is an unproclaimed shout out to her, "I love you and I don't care who knows!"
