The moving truck should be arriving in a mere 4 weeks. 4 weeks. 28 days. Either way, the very thought induces both anxiety and excitement all at once. In that time, we have to pack as many of our things as possible, plan and execute a birthday party for the eldest child, visit Wonderland and [...]
<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 [...]
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’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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
As promised, an entire blog post devoted to vaginas! Ok, just my vagina. And less about my vagina and more about my uterus. Hooray! The evening before the appointment (Wednesday night) as ordered, I got out the Misoprostol. Two little pills, shaped like hexagons, to be ‘inserted vaginally’ which is what I did, while wondering [...]
Tomorrow afternoon is my appointment for the IUD insertion. Apparently I am also lacking Hep B vaccination, so I think they are going to give me the first of three shots for that while I’m in there. I switched schools in the middle of grade 12, when everyone was getting vaccinated, and so I only [...]
So in just under two weeks, I’m going to get an IUD. A Mirena IUD to be precise. This is not a decision I came to lightly. In fact, when I entered the sexual health clinic a week ago, I was already of the mind that I wanted my tubes tied. Not right then of [...]
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 [...]
I’m ‘supposed’ to tag 25 people, but I’m not going to. Feel free to use it, fill it out in the comments, ignore it, whatever blows your skirt up 1. Last beverage? Coffee 2. Last phone call? Jack, telling me not to speed when I go out today 3. Last text message? My phone [...]
After my date with Aiden last week, it occurred to me that Kade and I hadn’t yet set down any sort of parameters in our relationship regarding this sort of situation. I’d always had the distinct impression that Kade wasn’t all that interested in my dating habits. He’s never asked me if I was seeing anyone [...]
After my last post about The Virgin I consulted a close authority on the subject of anxiety, Nia. She makes a good argument for each side, and I really appreciated her feedback and insights. On one hand the boy clearly needs someone with patience and experience. Someone who can understand and appreciate the difficulties that [...]
We are already two months into 2009, and I’ve managed to cross half a dozen items off of my mini list thus far :) To summarize quickly, before launching into photos and details for most of them, here they are: 296. Watch all of the Harry Potter movies in a row 301. Take my kids to a Rainforest [...]
I’ve been to some really fabulous play parties as of late. Unfortunately, blogging about such parties and the happenings therein is generally frowned on upon in the kink community at large. As it were, I can’t give out TOO many details, but I will say that much fun was had by V and myself. At the [...]
My regular laptop is in the shop having it’s LCD screen replaced, and I’ve been lacking the patience to pick my way through a blog post on the tiny keyboard of my Asus Eee PC. However, I figured I’d better put something up here before I lost all of my readers, heh. The friend from [...]
I don’t know about all of you, but I had a really great weekend! On Friday night Jack and I drove down to Hamilton to see The Blue Man Group preform there. We were thrilled to get out for a date, and we’ve both wanted to see these guys preform for years. We had fairly [...]
While we were browsing at the Toronto Erotic Arts Festivallast spring, Nia picked out this pin for me, which of course I loved! I think it adds a certain touch of class to my purses.
Despite his trepidation, Jack was wonderful at the munch last night. There was already a good crowd when we arrived, and it was really nice to see everyone. We sat beside Deja, whom Jack really enjoyed talking to. I introduced him to a few of my friends and we ordered some drinks. Varick arrived and [...]
