Married In Ohio

We thought that giving Christmas gifts to our fellow bloggers like Southern Sweetheart did in her “It’s Official” post would be fun. So, without further ado, here are Married In Ohio’s gifts to everyone this holiday season.

[Note that the list is not comprehensive. It's only restricted to blogs in the sidebar. We're sorry if anyone feels left out but we had to limit the length of the list somehow.]

• To Kalani we give a good pounding by one of the hotties on her list. And an ER Doc who finally stops beating around the bush and asks her out and/or helps with the first gift.
• To HIM and HER we give a nice photo album. When you get engaged at the Hoover Dam and get married in Las Vegas what more do you need?
• To Bored Housewife we give two Jaguars; one to drive and one to get worked on. And a spare computer so the kids are never using hers. And an endless supply of ideas for Braless Tuesday pictures. (She probably has that already.)
• To dark_obsession and blonde_bound we give a universal translator so we can get the full effect of some of their hot posts and not have to use AltaVista’s Babel Fish translator.
• To Dirty Debbie and CJ we give an endless supply of creativity. Their stories are awesome when they have the inspiration.
• To Fred and Wilma we give a swinger party full of young hardbodies without anyone in the geriatric crowd. We also give them an all expense paid trip to Hedonism III in Jamaica.
• To MammaKBear and MrKBear we give them a magic potion that makes peoples noses grow every time they tell a lie. We also give them a second magic potion to easily quit smoking.
• To Square1 and Cubed we give then an endless supply of months that are as wonderful as the past month seems to have been for them. It’s amazing the adversity that two people who love each other can overcome if they both work hard on their relationship.
• To Dirty Boy and Dirty Girl we give them a year’s worth of new adventures to experience and write about.
• To FemiMommy we give the perfect birth control method. No more PMSing and Freckleboy forever (I think she’s already taken care of that one.) Also, a SD who finally grows up and treats GG the way a child her age should be treated. And the experience of a lifetime in Vegas next year.
• To Chickie we give a thought beam amplifier so she can easily eliminate the dumb things that people do which unnecessarily makes her life more difficult. We also give her a new non-surgical boob size adjuster.
• To Melanie we give extra time to do things for herself without feeling stressed or reducing what she does for everyone else around her. We also give her some peace and tranquility which doesn’t require her working extra hard later just to make up for it.
• To Southern Sweetheart we give a BS deflector so she doesn’t have to put up with any mess from anybody. It also doubles as a homing beacon that can only be received by good looking hotties (who are SC fans). We also give her beloved Gamecocks a perfect 11-0 regular season so they can play in the National Championship Game (and get beat by the Buckeyes).
• To txsm we give a “Honey-Do” list where every task becomes magically completed. We also give her a transporter that only she can control so Hubby can come home every night.
• To Queen of Pink we give broadband internet access. Oops, she’s just got that. So we give her plenty of free porn. Oops, she’s already got that too. She probably doesn’t need anything anyway since she thinks she’s already in heaven.
• To The Venting Housewife and her husband we give a live in nanny that also runs errands so they can enjoy each other’s company whenever they feel like it. (We know how that goes.)
• To Kelly we give a guy who is easy for her to understand but still brings that elusive spark that makes and keeps a relationship interesting and doesn’t live so far away. And an endless supply of toys for those times when they can’t be together (and when they can but want to play with them anyway).
• To Torn Shorts we give a new lady who is just as interesting as Soccer Mom. We also give him plenty of exciting adventures with the new lady.
• To Bud and “The Wife” of Us we give another wonderful year to go with the many that they have already shared.
• To Osbasso we give you a HNT without assholes who intimidate posters and generally make HNT un-fun. We also give you 52 HNTs where everything goes smoothly and everyone posts awesome pics.
• To Derek and Renee we give an endless supply of Suburbia Sex Weeks. (Is that for them or for us?) We also give them all the photographic equipment they need so they can continue to take hot photographs and videos.
• To Rosie we give a blog of her own. She is way too interesting of a person not to have a blog.

Here is the tenth edition of our Tuesday tradition. It’s late as always; someday, I am actually going to get this post up on Tuesday. The theme of these photographs is “the view”. This is what I see when California Girl and I have sex. It was hard to take all of these photographs (excerpt for the first one) since I needed my hands in two places at once.

Tuesday has become our favorite weekday because of our HNT photo sessions. And, not so coincidentally, it has also become a weekday that we always have sex on. Who would have predicted HNT would lead to a regularly scheduled sex day?

Both California Girl and I were at full strength for today’s session. It made for a wonderful evening. And, thanks to the new template, the photographs of our encounter are larger than the ones I have posted previously.

I was tagged by Femi-mommy to do the “5 things” tag. California Girl and I have both already done it and not that much has changed so we’ll just refer to the answers we gave then.

My answers are in here.

We’re not tagging anybody since we already did once before.

If you haven’t already, you need to visit Southern Sweetheart and read her “It’s Official” post. The gifts she gives to her fellow bloggers are quite imaginative. They’re somewhat of an inside joke; but you’ll really enjoy her list if have been reading the recipients’ blogs. The gift she chose for California Girl and I is quite appropriate.

Creating a list like hers is a wonderful idea. California Girl and I will be ruthlessly appropriating the concept in the near future.

Today was our first day back to work in a week and already we’re ready for Christmas vacation. The week of Thanksgiving was heavenly. California Girl and I always run a road race in a nearby city on Thanksgiving morning. We don’t run for time; we run so that we can enjoy our Thanksgiving dinner without any guilt. Afterwards we come home and take a nice long soak in the Jacuzzi whirlpool tub. It’s not that we’re achy from the race; in fact, we usually run father in a normal workout. But there is something delightfully decadent about a two person whirlpool bath.

One of the wonderful things about being on vacation is that we have less that we have to do so that leaves more time to focus on the things that we like to do. And for us that means sex. Except for Thursday we had sex at least twice a day. We were on the “weekend schedule” the entire week. The days seemed very much like the days of our youth when sex at least twice was the rule rather than the exception.

California Girl and I have a long standing tradition of taking off the two weeks between Christmas Day and New Years’ Eve. Thanksgiving just whets our appetite (in more ways than one). We got some more Gynol II the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so we are well prepared. Every year, we enjoy our vacation more and more even with the Christmas shopping to do. In many ways it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. We plan on really enjoying our vacation so we do. We got engaged over Christmas vacation almost 20 years ago. So Christmastime will always have a very special meaning to us.

I am almost finished installing/customizing a new template. This is my first template change in almost eight months. I like this layout better because it gives more space for photographs and allows more room for posts generally.

Please let me know what you think of the new look. And please leave me a comment (or send me an e-mail) if you find anything that is broken or doesn’t seem quite right.

And yes, it really is 4:00 A.M. I don’t like going to bed when I have to go back to work after being on vacation.

The Girl’s soccer team just got their trophies for winning their league this past fall. She played the best season I have ever seen her play. She only allowed two goals the entire season despite always defending the opposing team’s best player. Her stellar play helped her team give up fewer goals overall than in any of the previous season they have played together. They had three shutouts and only allowed more than a single goal in one game, and that was after being up big and switching players around. (They don’t have enough players for a second team so they let the defenders play offense and have the attackers defend.) I am very proud of her. She made her teammates better offensively and was an absolute rock on defense despite playing much of the season out of her preferred position. The girl can flat out play ball.

It is not the biggest trophy that she has, but it is certainly the most well deserved. The Girl and her teammates played hard every game and deserved to win the championship.

As we prepare to depart for our Thanksgiving feast at my mom’s house we thought it would be good to list some of the things that we are thankful for. Rather than focus on the world at large, this list gives thanks for things that are individually and unique to us.

• I am thankful that my brother’s head has not “washed up on the sidewalk”. (MCB)
• I am thankful that we have many interests in common and often spend time together having fun as a couple. (CG)
• Every year at Thanksgiving, my mom always reminds us at this may be “the last time we’ll all be together”. I am thankful that another year has passed and everyone is still alive and in good health. (MCB)
• I am thankful that we have a good cozy house where we can cuddle up together on a cold wintry day, as well as being able to look forward to long relaxing days in the swimming pool when the weather gets warm again. (CG)
• I am thankful that we all had a wonderful summer; full of the things that childhood memories are made from. (MCB)
• I am thankful that we are running for health and exercise. This is our fourth year of running, and we are much more fit and relaxed than when we started. It’s also an activity that we enjoy doing together. (CG)
• I am thankful that, despite dire predictions to the contrary from our families, California Girl and I have stayed together and are approaching the 20th anniversary of our engagement. (MCB)
• I am thankful for comfortable lazy holidays when we can just sit around and enjoy the comforts of life and reflect on our blessings. (CG)
• I am thankful that we started blogging. We have met a lot of wonderful people on the ‘net. (MCB)
• I am thankful that even when we have disagreements or misunderstandings, we take the time to work through them and to try to understand each other’s point of view. (CG)
• I am thankful that we have two wonderful children who are excelling both athletically and academically. (MCB)
• I am thankful that we have been able to find and keep good jobs. That’s not easy in today’s fast-paced and competitive economy. (CG)
• I am thankful that our family is still a foursome and hasn’t lost touch with one another. (MCB)
• I am thankful for the excellent high school that our son attends and that our daughter will be starting next year. It has challenging classes, encouraging teachers, a good mix of friendly kids from different parts of town, and a wide variety of sports to choose from. (CG)
• I am thankful that we live in the 21st century and have a massive array of technology at our fingertips to make our lives richer and easier. (MCB)

We hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday.

Today is Thanksgiving so our photographs this week focus on turkeys. We had planned to do this in the kitchen but we got preoccupied while the children were at school on Tuesday so we reconciled to the bedroom. The photos would have been much better if they were taken on the center island in kitchen like we originally planned. You’ll have to use your imagination. We’ll try and redo them in the kitchen over Christmas. Without kitchen stuff in background none of the photographs turned out like we wanted so we’ve got three photographs rather than one.

We’ll have a Thanksgiving post later in the day but we want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving!

Here is the eighth edition of our Tuesday tradition. It’s way late but I still wanted to post a couple of them. There’s no story behind the pictures. In the first photograph, California Girl and I were just playing around with the camera before starting our HNT photo session. In the second, California Girl and I were just playing around with each other after finishing our HNT photo session.

I’m a HNT photo session fluffer in this shot.

I just liked the way this shot came out. It’s a different angle and more of a close up than usual. It was not easy to take.

You could not tell by the second photograph but California Girl is a little under the weather.
