My Christmas spirit has been decidedly absent this year, and I’m not entirely sure why. I grudgingly sent out some Christmas cards. Only 1/3 of the number I sent last year. Our tree is up and decorated, but that’s as far as we’ve gotten with trimmings. My Christmas shopping is not done. I just feel…lost, [...]
One of the most unfortunate aspects of blogging, at least for me, is during periods when I have little going on, there is always plenty of time for writing. When my life is filled with excitement and adventure, I generally lack time and inclination for blogging completely. Recently, I’ve only been able to schedule myself [...]
Disappointment is a funny thing. You can only feel disappointed if you’ve set yourself up for such things through beliefs and expectations. I’m fond of saying that expectations are dumb, and are the fastest route to general unhappiness. For the most part I make a very conscious effort to avoid expectations. I realize that sometimes [...]
Friday has finally arrived, and with it, the beginning of what I expect will be a very good weekend. To get ourselves into a weekend kind of mood, Nia and I did a yoga class this morning, followed by a nice hot shower at the gym and about 15 minutes in the sauna together. Nia [...]
It feels like I’ve had a lot going on this week, until I actually stop and think about it, and then I start wondering, “What the hell have I been so busy with?” Monday was a holiday here in Ontario; their first ever Family Day long weekend. Family Day is luxury I’d been accustomed to [...]
Some of you may have noticed that when my favourite holiday of the year rolled around, I did not post a list of resolutions or goals for 2008. That was intentional on my part, since I decided this year was going to be slightly different. No more January promises that barely last into the third [...]
It’s been a while since I felt the need to write and yet had NOTHING TO SAY. Generally in that situation I just do exactly what I am doing right now. I start typing and hope that the subsequent rambling makes sense.Ok that’s all I’ve got for today.Kidding, LOL, sort of.Jack and the kids and [...]
Edit: You may have noticed the title change on this post. When I have posts sitting in draft, I generally assign them an arbitrary title until I post them. I put this one up so late last night that I forgot to insert the new title I wanted to use, LOL. Just wanted to avoid [...]
My excellent week is winding down to an end.Fun was had, bizarre food was eaten, and as always there was much laughter (and nudity!).I got to try shark fin, jelly fish, and soft shelled crab. I treated myself to a couple of pints of Keith’s and a pound of wings at Bob The Fish.I got [...]
Ok Gang,Here’s your warning, this post is not going to be sexy or funny. It’s going to be about weight loss and my struggle with body issues. If you aren’t interested in that, wait a day or two and I’ll likely have something more enticing to you. For the rest of you, here we go:I [...]
I lost 6 pounds last week! Hoorah for me 
As a little reward I treated myself to some shopping this afternoon. I picked up a really cool messenger bag at Sunridge Mall in the Bentley store. I am addicted to that place! Purses and luggage are a slight weakness of mine, LOL. I haven’t [...]
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I had an excellent weekend!Friday night P and I went to the store now known as Little Shop Of Sins (formerly Adam N Eve’s) and browsed around. Basically nothing has changed except the name apparently. We looked at all manner of cute clothing in lace, latex, [...]
This morning I woke up feeling pretty icky. My throat was sore and I was still tired. Not the best way to start the day.However, I fixed myself a healthy breakfast and then enjoyed a few cups of lovely English Breakfast loose leaf tea with a little honey and lemon juice. My throat doesn’t hurt [...]
I have a hot date tomorrow evening!Well, LOL, since poly is on hold for the moment, it’s less of a date and more of just having dinner with an incredibly gorgeous man who makes me drool all over myself. He has an adorable accent and a mischievous grin. I’m looking forward to it a great [...]
Jack was unlucky enough to get sick with whatever I had over the weekend. ON TOP of being so ill I thought I might die, I got my period Sunday afternoon.Fortunately Jack and I were able to squeeze some nice, long, love-making into Sunday morning, before my period arrived, and before he became ill. I’m [...]
Since it’s the time of year for making half-hearted promises to ourselves, I shall post my goals for this year. However, I do intend to keep at least a few of them. Especially if it means a week-long vacation in the early summer 
1. I shall take better care of myself. This includes (but is [...]
