I think I'll start my day with...five positives.

1. IT'S FRIDAY! Always a plus, IMO.

2. I'm having dinner at Casa Romero tonight. Chartreuse margarita, here I come! And enchiladas with mole! And ceviche! Or something along those lines.

3. I forgot a shirt for today when I brought my stuff to spend last night at pierceheart's, BUT I was able to get out of there early enough to go home, change my entire outfit, fix my hair, and put on a necklace before I had to leave for work. Rock on!

4. Looks like I'm going to have a lot of time this weekend to get stuff done. This is a plus. I have Christmas/Yule shopping to do, and there's stuff I need to get for myself. I should try not to sleep TOO late tomorrow morning.

5. It's supposed to be cool but sunny tomorrow. Good shopping weather. :)


I need to try to do better at scheduling. I always think that since a lot of the time I spend with pierceheart isn't much more than "eat dinner, go home, go to bed, wake up to see him leave early in the morning," that I shouldn't plan other stuff on the weekends until I know whether or not he's available for an actual date. But when I wait to find that out, it ends up being too late to plan anything else when he's busy, because everyone else already has plans, and isn't available to make new ones a day in advance. I guess I have to start planning for non-pierceheart related things whether or not I know if pierceheart's available. Because the way things have been going, I always end up alone and frequently bored when he goes out with miss_lisa_ma. Which wouldn't be so bad if I did stuff without him once in a while that involved other people. But lately, that hasn't been the case. This should change. Otherwise I'll start getting depressed about it.

Do you have gmail? I am always looking for a foodie adventure at the last minute. If I am home, I tend to have gmail open... And you can gchat. Also, I want to go up to the textile musuems in Lowell after the holidays. We could also squeeze in a visit with bronto... He knows a great little place for martinis that has exposed brick walls...

Nah, I don't have gmail. I've been using Yahoo for everything and switching over would be too much of a pain. But I'll keep it in mind. :)

Lowell! Puhleease!

Saturday AM we'll be cutting down the tree at the tree farm, but the rest of the day we'll be home.

Our wine cellar took a hit from the last event, but there are several good bottles there still.

If I get a little notice, perhaps I could scratch up an interesting meal.

textile museums! ooooh. wanna come!!!! :)

and badseed1980, i am surprisingly able to be available at short notice. yeah, i'll even trek in from the heights. to hang w/ you would definitely be worth the effort.

I'm trying to get more proactive about this and actually plan things out.
That's why calendar was out in my place all week.

We should sit down, and, if not plan WHAT to do, plan out WHEN.
I want this not only for the smoothing things out with you and I, but because I like being able to look forward to things, and I know you do too.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I agree we should do this. I have less to do in the evenings than you do most of the time--no conference calls, no lodge-- as well as less to do on the weekends (no Army), so I can be pretty flexible.

I do like having things to look forward to, like the party next weekend, and whatever else we end up doing then. :)

I have a question...it might sound silly, but...you and pierceheart are dating right? or are you just friends? Most of (if not all) your posts include him and I thought you two were together, but in this post, you say...that he usually goes out with someone else, and your next post you talk about your date with someone else. Hahaha. I'm sorry, just curious about my friends and their standings...ya know?

Am I being too nosey?

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

LOL!

Ok, I figured everyone on my friends list realized the situation. I guess I assumed too quickly. :)

pierceheart and I are polyamorous. We date each other, and we've been together almost 3 1/2 years so far. We're planning on eventually moving in together, getting married, having kids, yadda yadda. BUT...we also have romantic (and yes, physical) relationships with other people. It's all open and honest, so it's not like we're cheating on each other or the other people we're dating don't know about it.

My other boyfriend is dahveed76, who I've been dating almost two years, but who only recently moved close enough to me that I'd be able to see him on a regular basis. He's currently living with another girlfriend of his. pierceheart's other girlfriend is miss_lisa_ma, and they've been together a few months.

It didn't always work as well for us as it does now, but we've both come a long way since we first got together, and we've learned a lot about how to make it work. Yeah, there are still issues occasionally, but one of the things we've learned is how to talk about them and work them through.

Scheduling can be a bitch sometimes, but it's worth it. :)

This page (http://www.xeromag.com/fvpoly.html#AnchorP1) has some good information on what it's all about.

Wow...that's crazy. I've never dreamed about having an open relationship with anyone. I guess it takes a lot of strength and confidence to do that... geez

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I'd never considered it as a long-term option for myself either, until I started dating pierceheart. There are days when I'm still surprised it's making me so happy. :)
