Note to M.

I like that you still ask if you can call me. The respect you show me makes me feel treasured. Thank you.

Thank you for standing up for me tonight. The calm resolve in your voice and the steel in your eyes meant a lot. I could try and describe it, but I can't do it justice. Please know that while I can't put my feelings into words, your comments tonight meant the world to me. Thank you.

Note to M.

I think I like you. Let me rephrase that, I know I like you.

Things that scare me - #3

Going through childbirth.


Scares me spitless. To the point of never wanting to touch a guy.


I'd say it scares the **** out of me, but that's not strong enough.


Don't try and trivialize it by saying I'd look so cute pregnant or it's just a fear of the unknown.
Giving birth scares me. Please don't try to discredit that.


And don't - do not - preach a sermon about how it's worth it or how the positives outweigh the negatives. I've heard that all my life and look at how convincing that argument has been.

I spent the day in the mountains - hiking through the snow, eating Mexican cuisine and enjoying part of my Christmas present: a sleigh ride. Not just any sleigh ride, an hour tour through the forests and over the fields and marshes around Banff. Here are a few pictures of the day.
