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 [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

<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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
