I Like Cake…And Porn

Posted on December 22nd, 2009 in Does All Her Own Stunts, Mating And Relating

I know I haven’t been terribly prolific with the posting this month, and unfortunately that’s unlikely to change until early in January.

Jack’s parents arrive this afternoon, and will be staying with us until early on the 29th.  While I normally greatly enjoy their company, this year I would have preferred to avoid dealing with any relatives.  I must remind myself that they will be here for a mere 6.5 days, and that surely I can muddle through somehow.  Perhaps next year we can manage to avoid any guests over the holidays.

Aside from my moodiness and the usual Christmas stresses, things are rather normal around here.  Aiden and I went to a Christmas party on Saturday, and another the Saturday before.  We also went to Avatar in IMAX 3D, and HOLY SHIT!  Best movie I’ve ever seen.  No spoilers, but let me tell you, it was amazing.  I’m so, so, SO glad that we decided to see it in IMAX and not just regular 3D.  It was incredible.  I want to see it again, and again, which may work out because Jack wants to see it, so perhaps we will get a chance to catch it sometime while his parents are here.  Seriously, even if you don’t think you’ll like the plot, go see it simply for the incredible CGI.  That alone makes it totally worth while.

I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to coax P out here for New Years.  She and Jack hung out a bit during his November trip to Calgary, and since then I’ve been attempting to lure her out to see me with the promise of chocolate and good entertainment.  It would be lovely if she could manage it, although I understand why it may not be possible this year.  Perhaps next year we’ll be a little more on the ball and actually plan something ahead of time.

Last night Jack and I went out for dinner (kids in tow, due to the fact that we couldn’t get a sitter) to celebrate the ninth anniversary of the first time we ever spoke.  As some of you may know, he and I met in a chat room (back when MSN Chat was still free, and popular) and after a month of messaging and phone conversations, went on our first date in mid-January.  Even though it may seem sort of silly to observe such an occasion, we generally celebrate three anniversaries per year.  This one, our wedding anniversary in January (which is actually the anniversary of our first “real life” date as well) and the anniversary of our engagement which happens at the end of November.  We never really bother with anything aside from maybe going out for dinner, but it’s kind of nice to remember those really early days of our relationship and crack jokes about how fortunate it was that we were both kind of slutty, or else we may never have met

That’s a very brief and general update on the recent happenings around here.  I shall see what can be done about posting at least a few times over the holidays, but it’s difficult to get time to myself for writing while playing hostess to company.  At any rate I wish all of my readers Happy Holidays, and hope all of you enjoy yourselves, regardless of how you choose to celebrate, or not.
