As badly as I wanted to move back to Alberta, and as happy as I am to be here, for some reason I feel…not quite myself since we got here. I haven’t been sleeping well, I’m edgier, more easily agitated, noticeably more negative in my attitude. I don’t feel like I have been handling things, stress in particular, [...]

Next weekend Aiden and I were supposed to be LARPing, for the last time at our regular game. However, after some thought and discussion, we decided to skip the event and go camping together out at Killbear Provincial Park instead. Aiden went there with his family when he was 12 and he has wanted to [...]

I’ve been meaning to post an update here for some time, but opportunities to write have been few and far between as of late. Our existence seems to be consumed by all things move-related. Aiden and I went LARPing last weekend, despite the fact that I felt terribly guilty for leaving the house at all, under the [...]

I really want to write something here today, and I must have started this post at least half a dozen times, but I find myself getting several lines in and then deleting it all and walking away from my computer for a while, only to sit down and start again, delete, rinse, repeat. I’m certain [...]

I’m so happy that it’s finally Friday! Not that the week has been particularly long or bothersome. Actually it was quite a good week overall. The final paperwork on the move was completed and we were finally able to share the news with our families. They are understandably thrilled. Jack and I went out on [...]

My body is tired, I ache all over, and I should be washing/unpacking/putting away all of our camping gear, but I had a GREAT weekend at LARP. I’m so glad that we ended up going after all. Friday was sort of chaotic, due to the fact that last week was kind of rough and I [...]

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 [...]

“Are you leaning today? If so, which way?” If I had a nickle for every time that Jack and I have exchanged such messages in the last few days, well I’d have at least a dollar. Then it breaks down to the numbers. Percentages to be exact. “I think I’m 95/5 at the moment. You?” [...]

I haven’t had a great deal of time for blogging over the past few days, mainly due to the fact that all of my computer time has been spent sorting, organizing, and cleaning out the documents and images on my laptop. Jack recently earned a sizable bonus at his job, and generously gave me his [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

December has arrived, and with it, our first *real* snowfall. Quite suitable I suppose. While I don’t always post a wish list at Christmas time, this year I thought surfing for gift ideas for myself and others might put me in more of a holiday mood. Books: To Love, To Obey, To Serve The Ethical [...]

Jack: I love you Shasta: Will you still love me if I take up LARPing? Jack: I’ll have to think about it Shasta: *Pouts* Jack: LOL
