On Saturday, around noon, Jack and I departed for our anniversary over-night in Niagara On The Lake. We weren’t in any rush, since our dinner reservations were for 6:30pm and we wanted a very laid back weekend. Jackson-Triggs was our first stop of the afternoon, where we enjoyed a pairing of cheese and a flight of [...]

After a somewhat disappointing weigh-in on Tuesday, we’ve thrown ourselves into eating better and working out with renewed fervour. I did lose some over the 6 weeks since our initial weigh-in, but the holiday season took it’s toll, and the numbers were not what I hoped. I skipped the gym for two weeks in a [...]

Now that I have your attention, Happy New Year! We wish everyone the very best in 2009! Here at our house, the New Year was rung in over fondue, champagne, and pyramid. V, Jack, and myself got dressed up nice, and had a hot oil fondue after the kids went to bed. Then we had [...]

We made it through the holidays with only minimal strain, and all of that was self-induced. Leaving shopping until the last minute, indecision over what to buy for family and friends, that sort of thing. Still, we pulled it together, had a wonderful Christmas, and I feel pretty good about how everything went. Jack spoiled [...]

Montreal is just such a grand old city. We didn’t get to see as much of it as I would have liked, but the parts we did see, I fell in love with. I’d consider moving there, even though I can’t read or speak a word of French. Have you ever stood outdoors, in the frigid [...]

Montreal was a series of fantastic restaurants, pubs, bars, fetish stores, and strong drinks. In short, it was everything I hoped it would be and then some! We left semi-early on Friday morning and arrived in Montreal sometime around supper. We checked into the hotel and got our bearings before I called Esined and made [...]

The week snuck past far too quickly. I didn’t accomplish any of the writing I’d planned to do. I *did* hit the gym three times, bought new winter boots, two hoodies, and some things from Lush. I also spent some quality time with my mum and grandmum. Tomorrow morning we are leaving for Montreal to [...]

We’ve had some interesting WTF? moments here at Chez Gibson. Fortunately we’ve managed to capture a couple of them on camera, for your viewing pleasure. This first photo may not seem unusual, except that we could find NO possible explanation for how that little ice stalagmite. It was in the top tray of cubes, and [...]

We had a fairly quiet weekend here at Chez Gibson. On Saturday morning V was so kind as to watch the children so that Jack and I could go out for brunch. We decided to drive to Mississuga to have dim sum at one of our favorite places. The food was great, we both had [...]

I know, I know, I am woefully behind on the blogging front. I’ve been devoting a great deal of my time to other projects, none of them related to sex or this blog. Speaking of sex, that’s also taken up a fair bit of my recent attentions 
I’ve missed writing here, and I am [...]

I haven’t allowed myself time to blog as of late due to wanting to make the most of the final week of summer, not to mention my birthday weekend, which was all kinds of fabulous really. Tickets to Bedouin Soundclash and Blue Man Group for September comprised part of my birthday gift from Jack. He [...]

Despite my serious bout of the flu, we decided to go ahead with our trip to the states over the weekend. I was feeling mostly better, and I didn’t want to pass up the chance to see more of America, and to cross a thing of two off of my bucket list. After some discussion, [...]

We enjoyed our complementary breakfast on Thursday morning before checking out of the Holiday Inn and heading for Chicago. A generous blogger pal of mine had offered to tour us around for the day, and we were looking forward to a break from driving and having a chance to see the sights. On our way to [...]

On the morning of Friday, July 25th I found myself on the back of a motorcycle, headed east of Calgary towards Bragg Creek. A friend of mine had offered to take me for a ride out to Elbow River, followed by lunch somewhere together. Since I’d already seen the Elbow Falls, he took me a [...]

I feel totally overwhelmed by the amount of writing I need to do to catch up with everything that has happened to me over the past week, so bear with me if it takes a while to get it all written. Also, some of it may seem brief, since I am over a week ‘behind’ [...]

GOOD MORNING!!! I am writing this at a picnic table near Sheridan, Wyoming at about 7:30 in the morning. V and I pulled into a KOA (Kampground of America) last night at the end of Shasta & V Do America – Day Two. The trip has been really awesome so far, although our patience and [...]

I can’t exactly recall when I initially heard about the traveling exhibit known as Body Worlds, but I’d pretty much forgotten about it until Jack and I caught part of a documentary on the procurement and processing of bodies used. Perhaps it’s curiosity with the morbid, or my fascination with the inner workings of the [...]

I wrote a little about the surprise trip Jack took me on to Niagara Falls before I left for Alberta, and now I wanted to share a few photos I took during our time there. I can also fill you in on the details while I am at it. We arrived around supper time. Jack [...]

This evening I am attending a pot luck dinner/play party at Deja’s place, along with Varick and about 10 of Deja’s other friends. Varick and I were texting back and forth about the party on Wednesday, and the conversation went something like this: Varick: I’ll bet you can hardly wait to see me Shasta: My, [...]

We were both exhausted, and it felt like I was moving in slow motion. We got cleaned up, packed our things, and I ran down to fetch our complementary coffee and breakfast from the lobby. The coffee wasn’t that great, but at that point we didn’t care. We got a little food down, and I [...]
