~Flight~

Wendover, Nevada. Oh my goodness: A thirty eight minute flight on a plane which was filled with excited and chatty senior citizens. Special Man Friend found a dirt cheap weekend package, and apparently it’s very popular with the over 65 crowd. It’s been a good giggle. (I know I’m no spring chicken. But come on!Continue reading “~Flight~”

~Distance~

I was talking to a nice man on OKCupid, who lives in Washington. I asked a few questions. You see, not only do I not want to waste my time with an impossible or potentially difficult connection, I also do not want to waste HIS time. I’m considerate like that. We are a high-ish match.Continue reading “~Distance~”

~Date~

I had a date. A FIRST date, no less. Now, maybe this doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it really was. I think I have first date stage fright. It doesn’t matter if I know my date previously or not, though I will say that blind dates are particularly painful. Especially if it’s someoneContinue reading “~Date~”

~Hunt~

Today on the big bad interwebz, I read a brief rant and subsequent discussion about the term “unicorn hunters” and are there really that many out there, and how it seems like there are more people who complain about the unicorn hunters than there are actual unicorn hunters. Umm, no. Here are my thoughts, inContinue reading “~Hunt~”

~Meh~

I have three or four drafts working for blog posts. Some deep thinking kind of stuff. But it’s not coming together. I want to write, but I can’t find my words. In the morning I start my prep day for Thanksgiving. I can’t wait. I’m excited to have a house full of people. I’m excitedContinue reading “~Meh~”

~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~”

~Reprieve~

I’m taking a forced twenty minute break from working on a new website. I think I may actually gouge my eyeballs out with a fork if I don’t. I’ve been blogging for almost two years now. I use WordPress, it’s been relatively simple and straightforward. I like simiplicity in my visual presentation, and brevity inContinue reading “~Reprieve~”

~Reviewed~

In the middle of the summer, I was contacted with a offer of an advanced copy of a new book on polyamory, and a request to review it on my blog. The book has since been released, and at least once a week, my partner pokes me and says, “Hey, did you write your reviewContinue reading “~Reviewed~”

~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~”

~Grateful~

If you blog about poly, you are an activist. Some of you know this already. Some of you are thinking, “I’m just writing about my life. I’m not an activist. Why would anyone want to be an activist?” I don’t know if anyone wakes up one morning and decides to be an activist. I don’tContinue reading “~Grateful~”
