Had a nice meet up in NYC with my email friend, his wife, and my husband. We are still texting and emailing though at a slower rate. Just had a nice set of days off after a long stretch of hard work, got to enjoy spending time with my kiddo, he has learned how to do so many things. I enjoy my...

Just about any book by Robert Heinlein (sci-fi) that I have ever read has had a poly angle, although in Stranger in a Strange Land, he does seem to have a homophobic streak. Still well worth reading though. Marion Zimmerman Bradley's Darkover series has some poly related themes as well (also...

Finally had a real snowfall this Saturday, watched my little son and his dad play in it on Sunday. My husband and I are making plans with my email friend and his wife for us to meet. The practicalities still have to be worked out, but this is exciting! I am home with a cold today, being...

Still emailing back and forth with my PMM friend. Had a great Thanksgiving, had to see hubby off to the train today, and I'll be working tomorrow myself, but basically happy.;)

Fully moved into new condo, furniture, grandma, baby and all! Expecting hubby tomorrow:) Still emailing my friend from PMM site:)

Talked to my sweet hubby! Also seem to be progressing well with my email friend.:)

Have been doing some emailing with a guy from PolyMatchmaker, so far, so good. Hubby is enjoying a remodeling of the Oblivion computer RPG.:)

I didn't lose any weight this past week, but at least did not gain any back. I was relying too much on eating out, and was making poor choices in what I was picking to eat. Tonight I am cooking for myself - ground turkey with curry and lots of veggies, hopefully will help kick me back into gear.

As the weight comes off, it will also get easier for your knee, you may even find that between strengthening the muscles around it with the bike, and the weight loss that you will be able to do more and more! I have lost one more pound, and am happy with that. The remaining 93 lbs will...

Have had some ongoing back and forth emails with a guy from Polymatchmaker. Waiting to see if we scare each other off or if something good develops.:D

Yesterday I met my goal of doing the three minutes on the rowing machine. Today I am tired and just want to sleep - but if I wake up even an hour later than I did this morning tomorrow, I will have plenty of rowing machine time. Too bad I had to wake up that early for work and not for exercise.;)

Also was on the Polymatchmaker site and messaged a guy whose profile I liked, and that hubby felt comfortable with.

Had a great day with the hubby (end of our anniversary vacation). I have a turkey, mushroom and cauliflower dish in the oven, and I am relaxing tonight prior to going to back to work tomorrow.:)

Some thoughts on this: Monogamy implies that we can have only one true match and that we are only capable of truly and fully loving one person, and there is a schema that two people marry and establish a unit. Poly is a multischema practice. It may include a relatively small closed unit or a...

This book was loaned to me, and it has many useful practices that are an antidote to both poor self-esteem and Narcissism at the same time. It is partly outgrowth of Buddhist thought, but you don't have to be a Buddhist to make constructive use of it.
