So… this past Saturday I finished my actual first, Olympic distance competitive triathlon. Woo! I will admit that I had vainly hoped to have a more aesthetically appealing body by the end of it, and to me it’s less so. But that’s ridiculous to worry about because I got so much stronger and healthier in [...]

So I’d intended of course to write about all of the topics Babeland threw out there for the SexyMama blogs. I was surprised to find it difficult - usually if someone asks me a question or throws out a subject I have something to say about it. I don’t know why it ended up being [...]

It’s snowing here. I got my snow tires taken off last week, and now for two days in a row it’s snowed. Unbelievable.
Just figured I’d check in since it’s been awhile. Everything is going wonderfully, (weather woes aside) my daughters ALL just had birthdays and one more birthday season is behind me. Elliott and [...]

Goodbye to the blog part of my site. Before you go worry that Janesguide is closing, it’s not. Site reviews and sextoy reviews and book reviews will continue, everything that is here will keep on growing and going. But the blog part, this one section, is done. I need to say goodbye to it.
I started [...]

I totally forgot about the release of the print I so wanted. All caught up in other things this past weekend, and with my phone set on vibrate (I’d set an alarm to remind me) I didn’t remember until I was gazing (as I often do) at my print of Oiran on the wall a [...]

One of my favorite artists, Audrey Kawasaki, just announced on her blog that she’s doing a time-release edition (instead of limited edition) of her next print. In case any of you are fans as I am, I wanted to point it out. What’s the difference between a time-release instead of limited? Well, you can ONLY [...]

I have just been massively uninspired to write anything lately. Maybe it’s because all I want to do is create visuals for a change, and not online. I want to sit and draw or paint or do needlepoint or collages. Just anything but web. I’ve also been having a much more difficult time with this [...]

I’m trying to get caught up today before we disappear for most of the next couple of weeks. Tonight Elliott and I are off for a weekend of decadence in Seattle. We’ll be back sometime on Monday, home for a whopping 3 days, then gone to the Oregon coast for a 4-day weekend. I think [...]

This weekend, everything culminated at once. I had not one, but TWO of my closest friends show up from hours away. One with no notice whatsoever, one was planned these past two weeks. And two other friends that I see all the time both had impromptu parties.
Thursday evening, Natasha called. She and her husband [...]
