Is the Pursuit of Happiness Valid or Merely Self-Serving? A college professor who attended one of my lectures labeled the pursuit of happiness trivial, self-indulgent and self-serving. I don’t know what his experiences may have been but I have noted that when people are happy, they are much more loving, supportive and available to themselves [...]
I feel like this blog has been terribly superficial as of late. I mean it’s been a lot of “oh we did this and this, and then this happened” and very little of anything substantial. I wonder a little if that is why the comments have trickled down to nearly nothing. Don’t get me wrong, [...]
O, the wonderful darling that she is, sent me a fantastic gift on Saturday evening after her date with Jack. She gifted me with a copy of Story Of O by Pauline Reage. I know, I can’t even call myself a proper submissive for not having already read it Anyway, I devoured the book, reading [...]
Overheard in my kitchen recently: Me: *Whining about something I am sure* Jack: You can’t always get what you want… *pause* Me: *sly grin* Jack: Although, you sure seem to all the time… Yes, yes I do. I have been totally spoiled this week thus far. We had Jack’s birthday, which was a small family [...]
We decided to get rid of the first three rules from the last set we agreed upon. Here is the revised list. You can check out the former list here. 1. We must always be totally honest with potential partners about my/our marital status. 2. Only give out personal cell phone number for contact information. [...]

My blogging mojo has been off all weekend. So here’s a brief re-cap of events since my last post. Taking the kids to Stampede on Friday was a TOTAL disaster! I dunno if everyone was just tired and therefore bitchy, but by the time Jack and I were going to take the kids home I [...]
*This title, although it has absolutely nothing to do with the nature of this post, was supplied by DF. It’s a bit of an inside joke The lawn is complete. And Oh My Gawd is it gorgeous! Lush green grass, flower beds bordered with charcoal-colored stone walls. Trees and shrubs and rose bushes! It’s fantastic. [...]
If you are wondering about the lack of bloggy goodness around here this week it’s because Jack and I are laying sod in our yard. By ourselves. My HNT post this week might be of my shiny new sunburn. Or maybe the blisters I have from moving around gargantuan amounts of dirt. Pretty hawt stuff [...]
Just getting a quick post up before we leave for the weekend. Headed up to Edmonton to visit a relative who is visiting from BC. Good times. Last night on a whim, K invited me to go to The Philosopher Kings concert at The Stampede. Since K has never been to Stampede, and it’s been [...]
I just came across a truly fantastic bit of writing on the subject of poly over at Ducky’s blog. Please, GO READ IT! On Love, Relationships, and the Future I need to add this man to my links list immediately, he know what he’s talking about, and his new v-ish thing is doing it the [...]
I didn’t want to post until more people had participated in my last post, but I can’t hold out much longer for fear that everything I want to say will become too much. So I will post anyway but I hope that you will still go back and post an image link for me. Pretty [...]
I know I said I was going to post stuff last week, but my in-laws stayed longer than we expected, so I didn’t have a chance. Anyway, here’s the interactive blogger/commenter luv thing I wanted to post. It was created for LJ, where you can post images in comments. You can’t do that with blogger [...]
