So it's been a while since I did any updating. Mostly because I haven't been doing much with the poly aspect of my life. Just reading "Designer Relationships" and reinforcing the foundation work I have done with Muffin. Ref and I have continued our deep and loving friendship. I encouraged him...

The kiss with Ref didn't go anywhere. I did some soul searching and chatted him up a bit. It ends up that he wanted to kiss me to show that he felt close to me that night. He and I have often talked about the idea of more casual intimacy, but it is not something that I have a lot of experience...

Two months away and nothing new to report until last night. My life is certainly not blog-worthy, but I appreciate having a space to process all of my thoughts. Since I've been taking the Monkeys to swim lessons, I've been missing a lot of Board meetings. Therefore, I haven't had much...

re: Chap-Hop A few months back, Muffin and I stumbled upon a Professor Elemental video and we were like "this is so cool" and two clicks later when we saw his rivalry with Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer, we thought we had found the most amazing microcosm of the internet! So cool to hear someone...

Oh Ref, you inadvertent tease. That poor man has not had sex with another person in 5 years. Now of course, being the good friend that I am, I am thinking waaaaay too much about helping him with that situation. After all, if he is eventually going to get back into the dating pool, he needs to...

Found all of my old favorite Depeche Mode tracks on Amazon Music and am having a blast listening to them again for the first time in probably 10 years. Current favorite: It's No Good And thinking about one of my crushes who is an old friend: I'm going to take my time I have all the time in the...

Glad you have some perspective, Kevin! I will remember to ask myself that question ("What will I think about this in a week/month/year?") next time I am being entirely too hard on myself. Good advice! :)

I am excited about the upcoming schedule change when the Monkeys go back to school. It will give me more time to focus on me. Plus it will help me get back on a regular sleep schedule. Right now, I'm staying up and sleeping in too late. Nothing too crazy, but enough that both Monkeys would miss...

Make that two! :D

Sending big hugs, a shoulder and an ear. <3

I am not good at keeping up with this forum! There are so many great posts and I don't have as much time to read them as I want. :) These days, I've been doing a lot of mental grinding. Trying to figure out some self-esteem things and how to do more self-care. It will be much easier to focus on...

I am beside myself with excitement about this movie! :D

I had a poly dream a few nights ago. One of my current crushes was in it along with my current love and kids. In the dream, humanity was dying out/being destroyed/something and people were trying to enjoy the time they had left. My crush had already been converted to a cyborg/android, but had...

Despite my many fantasies of how things could possibly go at the cast party, it was uneventful. Mostly my own doing. I was super excited before the final performance -- I had many friends and family in the audience and I sat with them to watch instead of being backstage. Once the show was over...

I am starting this blog as a way to journal all of the thoughts swirling around in my head. There is so much for me to process and I would hate to write in a physical journal somewhere and have it be found by someone. My half-processed thoughts can be unrefined and careless -- I wouldn't want...

I just finished a delicious Merry Monks beer during our game night.

So, all of my poly experience has been strictly theoretical and hypothetical, so I have no advice for you, but what you have shared is both exciting and wondrous and I wish you luck! What I can say is that I just had to look up who Daveed Diggs is and I was like "It's Perry!" (from Unbreakable...

Sounds lovely! I have a mad crush on taco salad right now! There is a restaurant in my town that makes a vegetarian taco salad using "meat" made from spiced walnuts. I can't get enough of it! Enjoy your bliss!

Sending lots of hugs! If there is anything you need to vent or discuss, this forum seems amazing at helping people!

This is a very cool way to think about it, GalaGirl! I have never seen "quanitity of lovers" separated from "style of relationship". I will show this to my sweetie and see where he falls on the list. :) Thanks for sharing! chamelia
