Another Lazy Sunday
For the second week in a row, California Girl and I have had a quiet Sunday. The Girl had an indoor soccer game (a goal and an assist) that we had to go to; but, otherwise, or day was completely free. We would probably get bored if every week was like this; but it’s good to relax after being so busy over past weekends. The only “chore” for the day is to download some songs from iTunes for The Girl. I’ve also done a couple of “projects” as California Girl calls them, fixing things behind the scenes with the WordPress software that powers our blog.
California Girl is on her period so we just keep the towels next to the bed for rapid deployment. That’s more convenient than her having to retrieve her diaphragm. And, even though we are accustomed to the diaphragm, it’s still a treat to not have an “intermission”. We’ve been using the same pair of towels for the same thing for almost 24 years. They probably are the only things from olden times that aren’t put away in a box for safekeeping. Of course they would be a strange memento.
Twenty-Four years. It’s hard to believe that we’ve know each other that long. We still do many of the same things that we have done since our early years together, so, if it wasn’t for the children growing up, we wouldn’t notice the passing of time. And both of us weight almost exactly the same as we did in college. I didn’t have very much hair even back then so bout the only difference is that California Girl keeps her pubic hair trimmed much more closely today. She never was bushy as was common during the 60s/70s; but nowadays she does keep it closely groomed.
Other than being bitter cold (check out the current weather conditions in the sidebar) today has been an ordinary day. We’ve just hung out and enjoyed it. We didn’t do anything exciting; but, sometimes, those are the best kind of days. We hope everyone is having as great of a day as we are.
I love lazy Sundays! When’s your and cali girls next anniversary? It’s a big one!
It is cold. Though actually a bit warm down here — all of 11 degrees. (Your sidebar says 10 degrees for you.) Good you two had a relaxing week-end. Those are so needed.
Kitty: We will celebrate our 19th in May. And I’ve got some special surprises planed for our 20th in 2008. We got married relativity young (24) so we’ve been married a lot longer that many of our contemporaries.
Rosie: I think the temperature is rising a bit as clouds/fog move in. Perhaps we’ll catch up to you although I don’t think one degree matters much. One of these days, I want to be in Australia this time of year. They’re in the middle of summer right about now. And I’m sure I would be VERY relaxed enjoying the height of summer right about now.
Twentyfour years. I love to hear of couples who have stayed together despite everything the world throws at them. I sometimes think we’re an endangered species.
Our weekend was pretty much spent that way – we really didnt do anything exciting but we were together and that made it nice.

Alfie: Long term couples are not an endangered species. People are just finding the right person later so it takes a while to get to that point. Even with all of the divorces, people are still getting married.
Ms SD: We don’t have much to do next week, then it’s back to the go go days that seem to characterize our weekends. So, we’ll enjoy it while we can. It’s really is fun just to hang out with each other.
