I’ve been mulling over what to do with this blog, and with my now inactive Twitter account. I’ve debated deleting them both, after offering alternative contact information to anyone that would like it. I don’t think that I have it in me to continue tweeting, and now that I’ve been away from it for over [...]

On Saturday night the three adults that live in this house sat down together to have a family meeting. This is not unusual for us, however, the outcome of this particular meeting happened to be that Aiden is going to be moving out of our home. It saddens me just to type it, and I [...]

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 [...]

How was your weekend? Mine was productive, and yet relaxing. Here, let me tell you about it. Thursday night (yes, I am starting on Thursday) was the evening Jack and I set aside to celebrate the anniversary of our engagement (which was technically on Friday, see below for why we had it on Thursday instead). [...]

I have a few minutes to spare and so I thought I would post a quick round-up of recent goings on here in Chez Gibson. I’m still experimenting and tweaking my diet (and by diet I mean eating habits) in order to gain the approval of my colon. There have been good days and bad [...]

I think that there comes a point when a person just becomes very tired of catering to what other people think and ceases caring about the opinions of anyone else. Well, almost anyone else. Lets say they become more selective about it. When Jack and I decided to become poly, I don’t think either of [...]

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. [...]

With the move and all that it entails, and consumes, I haven’t written in some time about how the co-habitation is going. At least not in any specific way. I’ve probably inserted tidbit here and there, while discussing some recent happening of our daily life, and mainly these days we just continue to move forward [...]

Last night, before falling asleep, I posted the following Tweet: I wasn’t whining or making a play at being passive aggressive, I was simply expressing mild frustration at a situation that I’m certain comes up in EVERY relationship. I wasn’t angry with Aiden, since we were both very tired, and I fell asleep almost immediately [...]

Yesterday P and Jack left for an outing in Niagara Falls. As a surprise/gift to the two of them, I made arrangements for an overnight stay at a hotel overlooking the falls, in a room with a jacuzzi and a king sized bed. Their mini vacation also included several VIP wine tastings, a dinner for two at [...]

I’ve started a number of blog posts this week, and they just never seem to get finished. First I began writing about a tantrum I had on Friday that culminated in me taking off my collar and leaving it on Aiden’s bed while he was at work. The discussion that followed was rather uncomfortable for [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

<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 [...]

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 wordy sometimes. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
