Ugh, I hate how my period makes me moody and extra sensitive.
Perhaps the pinky-purple daisies (in the photo above) that Aiden brought me on Tuesday were a preventative measure. You know, so that I wouldn’t rip his face off at the most minuscule of provocations.
I loathe women who use their cycle as an excuse to act like [...]

I wish I had something fantastic to write, but last week was primarily spent doing my best to get over a sinus/chest cold, which I have now passed on to Aiden it seems. Jack was away on business during the end of the week, and spent the weekend in Banff with P. They had a [...]

Good Morning!
While I normally harbor an unnatural love of Mondays, on this particular morning I am fighting a sinus/chest infection or something of that nature and so am not as peppy and upbeat as usual.
I did have a lovely weekend, however, and so that makes up for the fact that I’ve run myself somewhat into the ground [...]

It’s Monday! I realized, while driving the eldest minion to school this morning, that I haven’t blogged in over a week, but I promise that I have good reasons for that.
Last weekend I went out with friends on Friday night and saw Daybreakers (pretty good movie, but unless you’re really into non-sparkly vampires, I would wait [...]

Things I learned over the weekend:
Metal shoehorns will leave bruises with hardly any effort at all
People get kind of excited when you serve Cornish hens and leave them whole. Like “We get a WHOLE bird? Each?”
Kolach, while the most beautiful of breads, is less like bread and more like a giant pretzel
Even candles that are [...]

I think I may have mentioned last year, here in the Gibson house, we celebrate Christmas twice.
First on December 25th, like most everyone else, and then again today, which is Ukrainian Christmas.
When Jack and I got married, there was some sorting out as to how holidays should be observed. We combined our separate traditions into our own [...]

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the tail-end of the holidays, since the departure of Jack’s parents on Tuesday.
After dropping the in-laws off at the train station early Tuesday morning, the kiddos and I drove out to Aiden’s and picked him up, and he’s been here since. He has to go back to work on Monday, but [...]

While I was tidying yesterday, I was rooting through a drawer, looking for the USB cord to my iPod, when I came across this broken ring. Initially I had planned to post only a photo of it, saying I had finally thrown it out, but that would really only mean anything to less than half [...]

The only unfortunate aspect of having a whole lot of awesome in ones life, is that it generally doesn’t allow a lot of time for writing, LOL.
Not that I’m complaining Karma Gods. Please don’t kick me in the ass for appearing ungrateful.
Between spending time with Jack, the kids, Aiden, the dogs, and trying to get [...]

I’d set my alarm for 9am on Sunday morning, but after waking up just long enough to shut it off, Aiden and I went back to sleep until around 11. After getting up (which seems, for some reason, to take us a while, LOL) and putting some clothes on we ventured out to find some [...]

I know, it’s been too long since the last time I wrote anything here. After our 36-day ‘vacation’ away from home, all I’ve wanted to do since coming back is catch up with Aiden and clean my house. The first one I’ve mostly accomplished, the second is on my ‘To Do’ list for the next [...]

You’d think that a long drive across America would be the perfect opportunity to get some writing done, but for reasons unknown, the ideas I’ve been mulling over just don’t want to gel into anything useful.
While I ended up having to cancel my date with Kade on Saturday night, I did get to spend almost [...]

Ever since seeing Bedouin Soundclash there in September, I’ve been on The Sound Academy mailing list. They regularly send me e-mails regarding upcoming concerts and events, and links to their contests, which I generally enter, even if I don’t know the band that well (who says no to free tickets?) Wouldn’t you know it that [...]

Isn’t it always the way, that for weeks one has very little desire to write, and nothing much to write about, and then suddenly all hell breaks loose and there are more things to recount than there is time to recount them? Certainly seems so around here.
Saturday at Tease was a mix of awesome and [...]

Friday morning at Tease dawned bright and early. Fortunately my sore throat was nearly gone, so I was geared up and ready to go.
Most of the morning was spent watching the BDSM games, the Fox Hunt, and the Pony Games. I won’t get into [...]

I’m still recovering from the four days I spent at Tease last week. I’m generally not prone to sub-drop, but I certainly have Tease-drop. On the way home from camp I felt emotional and weepy. Since then the adjustment to ‘regular life’ has been slow. Last night I went to a local kink munch and [...]

Last day at Tease. Workshops and rope suspension today. Not pumped for packing up. #
This weekend was exactly what I needed to remind me of why I enjoy BDSM so much. I’d forgotten over these last few months. #
Packed up all of my stuff so that I could relax for the afternoon and enjoy the [...]

Last night was AMAZING. Had a fantastic scene, sat in the hot tub, lured a boy into my bed, and then had wonderful meaningless sex with him. #
Of course! Just when I finally hook up, my period arrives several days early. #
I feel like karma is punishing me for getting laid. First my period and [...]

Had a good sleep in this morning. Went to AM coffee as part of a chain gang and then had a good shower. Making brunch at the moment. #
Really enjoyed watching the Fox Hunt. We are off to take in the Pony Games now. Then time for some workshops! #
Been distracted with friends here. Headed [...]

I forgot stuff to make Smores #
Dear Jesus! Our site is across the road from the NOISIEST people ever! #
Morning! Slept ok considering the noise. Making coffee on the camp stove this AM. Bacon and eggs for breakfast. #
Had to make a run for ice and cash to get me through the weekend. [...]
