SSNY Christmas Party Weekend in NYC Part I: Thursday Night

Recently I attended the Christmas party/fifth anniversary of SSNY.  My husband and I spent a weekend in Manhattan sharing a two floor townhouse with 19 (!) people.  As tight of a squeeze as it was, for Manhattan standards, this place was pretty much a mansion!

Thursday afternoon we headed to the airport and my party excitement was growing and nerves were at an all time high.  I had been in a spanko funk for the past several weeks, and I was worried it would affect my party experience.  As we got to the house, it was excited hugs with the 7 people who were already there.  I was so excited to see my girls Stacykins, Crashdance, Melanie, and mia13 as well as meet the lovely Chrysalides.  I can't forget the wonderful gentlemen of OS, Strictdave, and RainySpanker.  After a couple of drinks and some cozy catch up time, I was all smiles and and starting to suppress the anti/nervous spanko feelings I had been having.

Being the only smoker person who enjoys the brisk night air, I took full advantage of the nice New York City night and the amazing rooftop desk on our townhouse.  It was a great night (especially considering that the next few days would suck, weather-wise) and there was a beautiful view.  OS followed me up the stairs to "check out the view" and proceeded to give me my first spanking of the weekend.  This spanking was significant for three reasons:

1.)  My spanko funk was partly related to a smaller party that I had gone to where no one touched me.  It was the first party I had ever been to where no one asked me to play.  I left the party feeling like a leper and my anxiety and self esteem issues were sky high and I had spent the last few weeks beating myself up about it.  I even half-joked saying if no one touched me at this party, I was going vanilla.

2.)  It was outside which triggered my exhibitionist side and put me in a yummy, rare, submissive mindset.
2.a) Some creeper in an apartment across the street watched.

3.)  The spanking was given to me by a great guy who I really enjoy playing with, who knows how to command a scene, who taps into my head space, and makes me feel better about myself as a person.

The roof top scene calmed my nerves and reminded me why I love my friends in the scene and why parties like this mean a lot to me.  I went downstairs grinning, so happy that we decided to attend this weekend.

From then on I enjoyed spanks and straps, and even being squat lifted by RainySpanker!  It was so great to sit around and catch up with everyone and have a "chillaxed" evening before the craziness of the actual party weekend would start.
