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 [...]
It has taken a number of days for the household to recover from my mother’s visit, but I think things are pretty much back to the way we like them around here.
She and I had ONE rather explosive argument, that began with the laundry and ended with our respective shortcomings as participants in this parent/child relationship. [...]
My mum has been here for almost 24 hours now, and so far, so good.
Last night after we got the kids to bed she sat and chatted with me while I worked on Aiden’s chainmail (the green and black, shown below) and has offered her assistance in weaving it. I was pleased that she appreciated my project, [...]
<Rant>
My mother has been threatening…err, talking about coming out for a visit for several months now, so I suppose I shouldn’t have been so surprised when she phoned me last night to let me know that she was booking a flight.
A flight for next Wednesday.
And she’s not going home until the Wednesday after that.
A whole [...]
In response to this post, Tonya enquired as to our contract and how Jack feels about another man ordering me around and telling me what to do. I wanted to address this in it’s own post because a comment reply could potentially be five miles long, heh Ya’ll know how I get so [...]
Quite unexpectedly, one of the things I’ve found the most uncomfortable and difficult when it comes to my relationship with Aiden, is being really emotionally vulnerable with him.
I can be physically vulnerable, that doesn’t scare me at all, but when it comes to talking about my feelings, or God forbid, crying in front of him [...]
I don’t know which is more annoying: having the desire to blog, but being unable to think of anything particularly interesting to write about, or having lots to write about but no desire to blog.
In response to my previous post, Perakath remarked:
I feel a bit bad for Jack! Is he really okay with it all?
I [...]
Aiden has now “officially” moved in with us. He has basically been living here for the past two weeks, but yesterday he gave notice to his landlords, and we fetched a bunch of his things from his apartment.
While we were in town we had dinner with his parents, and he let them know that he [...]
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 [...]
Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t mentioned Kade around here for a long time. Not since October 21st, to be precise, and before that it was August 12th.
The relationship ended, as far as I was concerned, sometime mid-September, but I’ve been avoiding dealing with it since then because I hate giving people [...]
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 [...]
In response to Monday’s post, Sharon asked:
I’m very curious on how you are going to discuss this with your children now and on-going?
That’s an excellent question, and deserves a post unto itself. As an aside, if anyone would like to ask questions about our co-habitation arrangement, that I can’t answer in a sentence or two, I [...]
“He practically lives at my house” I remarked the other day to a friend during conversation. Even when he’s not here, you’d not know it. His socks, and other items of clothing, are regularly found mixed in with the rest of the laundry that languishes, unfolded, on one of the spare beds. When I do [...]
Some days it’s really, really hard to be a good slave.
Ok, in my case, it’s just about every day, but cut me some slack, I’m a beginner.
I forget to follow the rules, or sometimes I just don’t feel like it and disregard them on purpose. I don’t really want to be disobedient, I just have [...]
Sometimes the most difficult parts of poly are juggling time between partners, negotiating schedules, and discussing emotions ad nauseum.
Sometimes the most difficult parts are agreeing on which movie to rent on a Friday night, or whose turn it is to wash the dishes, or which bed to sleep in.
Lately, the most difficult part for me, [...]
It’s been five days since Aiden fastened that lovely steel collar around my neck, in a sort of impromptu exchange that only involved the two of us. Earlier in the day we went over together and finalized our contract. We also went over and agreed upon the rules (some of them were a little harder [...]
I’ve hinted and mentioned here and there that Aiden and I have a certain amount of D/s in our relationship. For those of you who are maybe not familiar with the finer points of kink relationship dynamics, D/s refers to Domination and submission. One person in the relationship is the Dominant, and the other is [...]
Aiden drove me to the airport on Wednesday night so that I could catch my flight out to Vancouver. I had booked the trip in August, as I didn’t have a chance to see my siblings over the summer holidays, and I’ve missed them a great deal. It was also a great opportunity to hang [...]
