~Chili~

Special Man makes a good chili. No, he makes a great chili. Before I met him, I had no idea that people make chili without beans. On purpose. Just to eat. I mean, I had bought no-bean chili in a can for chili dogs for my kids. But SMF’s chili has all sorts of meatContinue reading “~Chili~”

~Tuesday~

I’ve reread last nights post. Several times. It’s probably the only time I’ve written in the heat of the moment like that. It was reactionary, and emotional. I thought about deleting it, especially as I’m still all worked up and wacky over it. But I can’t delete it. Because it’s a real thing that happensContinue reading “~Tuesday~”

~Fine~

Disclaimer: This is the real poly that goes on in my imperfect life. It is neither enlightened, nor glamorous, despite what you may think of my awesome poly skills. You have been warned. Alright, poly peeps. Let’s say, you’re having a crabby day. And, in an effort to cheer you up, your partner sends youContinue reading “~Fine~”

~Strange~

Tomorrow morning is our monthly poly potluck. It’s a community thing, and it ranges from a handful of people, to around twenty people, depending on the month. I don’t always attend, as I generally work Sunday nights, and I like to be home with the kids and then I sleep in the afternoon. This monthContinue reading “~Strange~”

~Singular~

You know what I kind of love? My one-word titles. It wasn’t always like this, the single word blog post title.But it evolved fairly quickly. Now I find choosing a title, almost as pleasurable as writing a good post. That’s a little weird, right? I don’t care. I’m weird. Sometimes the title comes first. SometimesContinue reading “~Singular~”

~Time~

I’m in the mountains this week. It’s green and lovely, and I can hear myself think. My main thought last week: Poly is hard, y’all. This week? Relationships are hard. Special Man and I broke up. Nothing is ever all good, or all bad. No person, no relationship. But poly is especially hard. Especially whenContinue reading “~Time~”

~Year~

One year ago today, I posted my first writing on Poly Nirvana, titled “Perfect Poly”. I actually had written it a year before that, out of frustration with the larger poly community and this feeling of not fitting in anywhere; of not being evolved enough to feel true compersion, or mature enough to not everContinue reading “~Year~”

~Knit~

Last week for date night, we stayed in and watched a movie with my kids, and a sweet friend Amy and her kids. Special Man brought over a projector, and we ate tacos and cupcakes and laughed and talked. It was a good night. SM had forgotten something at home, so he ran out forContinue reading “~Knit~”

~Try~

Last night a couple of my demons came out from their hiding places, just to remind me that they are still there. They are smaller, and less threatening than I remember them being, but they still took me by surprise. Special Man and I had a date which for some reason, was difficult for meContinue reading “~Try~”

~Intersection~

This is where my real relationship and my blog writings intersect. Everything I write is true. All of it. It is not, however, the entirety of my relationships. I cannot write enough to adequately represent the fullness of my life and the love that is between me and Special Man Friend. I self-edit, I pickContinue reading “~Intersection~”
