Last week I decided to randomly cross something off of my Life List, and made some homemade playdough with my kids. They seemed to particularly enjoy picking out food coloring with which to dye to dough, and then making it into all sorts of fun shapes. We never had play doh from the store when [...]
Jack and I recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary (10th anniversary as a couple) and he surprised me with a limosine ride to the Calgary Tower, where we had dinner at the revolving restauraunt. It was such a surprise, totally amazing, and not to mention, crossed TWO things off of my Life List: 85. Ride in a [...]
We are only two weeks into 2011, and I’ve already managed to cross something off of my Life List, and I am half-way though a second item! It’s shaping up to be a productive year. Jack got me a wonderful dehydrator for Christmas, which made it easy to make our own beef jerky! 325. Make [...]
2011 got off to kind of a rough start. The day after our fantastic NYE Luau party (which was a grand success) I started my period AND came down with a really bad case of the flu, all while Jack and I were in Edmonton spending a few days with his family. I was very [...]
2010 has been quite a year, has it not? The past 12 months have seen Aiden move in with us and become a part of our family. Then there was another move of epic proportions, taking all five of us, and the two dogs, over 2,000 miles back across the country. Back to Calgary and [...]
I don’t have time for a proper blog post just now, but I thought I would put up a summary of recent list item achievements. Most of these got done over the past six months, and I just noticed that I hadn’t crossed them off. 78. Take pole-dancing lessons 214. Have sex in a public [...]
Has it really been so long since my last post? Presently I am writing from our new place in Alberta. We are still negotiating our way through a maze of boxes, as our things only arrived on Monday. The trip to Alberta was long and wonderful and terrible and beautiful, all at the same time. [...]
Last weekend Aiden and I went camping for three days in Killbear Park. It was one of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen. We basked in the sunshine, scampered over rocks in our bare feet, saw baby foxes, and deer, and tadpoles, and frogs, and even a snake. Some highlights include a deer walking [...]
It would appear, that after seven months of having my IUD, my period has neglected to come at all. Being four days late, and knowing that under regular circumstances, the mere thought of sex is nearly enough to induce a pregnancy, I decided to pee on one of those fancy sticks the other night. It [...]
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 [...]
I do. I also remember $2 bills, Atari, and rotary telephones. That really has nothing to do with this post, except to point out that gaming systems have come along way since the early 80′s. In 1982 we did not have cell phones, or the Internet, and we walked 3 miles to school each day, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
After the creation of my Life List, rather then setting forth resolutions at the beginning of a new year, I prefer to select a number of things that I hope to cross off in the coming year. I’ve selected 25 things that I’d like to accomplish in 2010, and gathered them into my mini-list for [...]
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, [...]
I woke up early Saturday morning, packed up my things, left a goodbye note for my siblings, who were sleeping off our late night out, and then walked to the 7-11 on the corner for a coffee. Caffeine in hand, I walked to the skytrain station, bought my ticket, and waited for my train. I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Note: Any names/details involving other people have been posted with their permission. 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 [...]
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 [...]
