Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Finally, the calm after the storm as it were. Life has settled down again after a brief stint of chaos. Everything seems to be rolling along just fine. The only thing I can complain about at this point is a pinched nerve in my neck that has been causing me frequent headaches. Advil and plans to see a massage therapist will take care of that at any rate. I’ve also developed a bit of a head cold but it’s hardly worth mentioning.

V will be coming out for her visit in just over a week. I am totally thrilled of course. The Sex Show is going to be a blast and we have plans to go to a food and wine tasting, shopping in downtown T-Dot, and perhaps to a drive-in movie. I am looking forward to showing her around some more, particularly Niagara-On-The-Lake and Yonge Street.

I had a ton of products arrive for review over the past week. Since so many of you disliked the idea of a separate blog just for reviews, I have decided to take Esined’s suggestion and designate two days every week towards reviews. I am accepting suggestions for names for those days. Maybe Toy Testing Tuesdays? Or Sex Product Saturdays?? I am sure some of you can do better than that. If I really like one or more of the names and decide to use it, there may be something in it for the winning suggestion(s). Maybe an Ivy Massager…or a Head Honcho Sleeve. Start posting your ideas!

This week will hopefully be very low-key. Besides some minimal preparation for V’s visit, there isn’t a lot going on. I’m looking forward to relaxing a bit, taking it easy, catching up on blogging and reading. We don’t have anything planned for this weekend either, which I actually enjoy. Hopefully it will mean a little sleeping in, maybe a bit of grocery shopping so I have something to feed my guest, and generally lazing about. I might persuade Jack to drive us through the country one afternoon, so that I can take some autumn photos with my sleek new digital camera.

In case any of you are curious, Jack spoiled me with a brand new Canon Digital Rebel XTi last weekend. 10 mega pixels and it’s compatible with the telephoto lens that we bought some years ago for our semi-pro 35 mm. We got in on a bit of a sale and decided that as nice as our Canon ELPH is for point-and-shoot, we both wanted something a little more advanced. Photography is actually a mutual hobby of ours, one that we plan to become more serious about over the next few years. Perhaps I will start sharing more of my more artistic photos here on the blog, if anyone would be interested.

Ugh, I am off to have a hot bath and a nice glass of wine before bed. I think that I deserve a little down time after the week I just had (plus I am sitting here sniffling and sneezing and generally feeling unpleasant). Maybe I’ll get Jack to take some HNT shots with the new camera for later this week
