It was warm and sunny when I got home from work on Tuesday, so California Girl and I decided to go for a hike after we ran a few errands. After walking for awhile, we came across a large rock that seemed like a nice place to stop and take a break. The pictures show what happened next.

I wasn’t really thinking much about it as it happened; but I realized when I was reflecting on things during my run earlier today that California Girl and I had sex four times on Tuesday. Once in the morning before I left for work. Once in an unnamed outdoor location to be revealed in our next HNT post. Once at the conclusion of our Two For Tuesday photo session. And once when we went to bed Tuesday night. Three or four times would not be extremely rare for us for us for a Saturday; nut it’s a lot for a weekday that I spent a full day at work. That’s one of the reasons that I like participating in Half Nekkid Thursday. Having a regularly scheduled weekday photo session encourages us to slow down, relax and take some times for ourselves. And have some fun sex at a time when we might not do so otherwise.
We mentioned last Tuesday that California Girl and I once again have matching wristwatches. They are “fancy”, at least for us, as watches go. Even though we only got them recently, we actually consider them anniversary gifts. Of all of the his and hers sets we have had we like them the best. They remind us of each other and our marriage and of how big a milestone 20 years is.
Our plan for today was to take a few photographs of us both together in a non-sexual pose. We enjoy our NSFW posts; but our favorites are usually “tamer”. We also decided to post a candid photograph I took of California Girl waiting for me to set up the camera. As is usually the case for us, un-posed pictures usually turn out the best.
Here is the photograph that we planned on taking. You can see the new watches as well as California Girl’s rings. Hopefully it conveys the sense of togetherness that we feel.
Here is a photograph of how our session ended. Most All of our photo sessions end this way which his one of the reason we have them. 
California Girl has quite a tan line.
Update: For once it was warm and sunny (and we didn’t have too much to do) so we finally got outside for our HNT photos!
After a week of unsuccessfully lobbying us to pay for a bigger share, The Girl finally got a new mobile phone. She had been holding out for a model which was much more expensive; but we declined to increase our contribution. I think it was a good financial lesson for her. Her choices were to make due with a partially working phone that can only place and receive calls and save her money toward a new one with a lot of nifty features. Or get a more affordable model and go back to texting her friends a gazillion times a day. That’s a choice that we as adults make quite often; but it’s one that she really needed to think and reflect on. Hopefully, she’ll remember the lesson.
I love the summer but I hate mowing the grass. Because of the fence, there is a lot of edging. Plus I’ve got a lot of bushes, etc. to cut around. I’d much rather be in the pool. One thing I like, however, is that California Girl is always waiting for me. After a quick shower she usually makes me forget about having to do the homeowner thing. I don’t think she realizes how helpful she is with the yard work even when she doesn’t come outside. Here’s a collage from after the last time I cut the grass. Click an image to enlarge.

People with tattoos and body piercings came up during a discussion I was having with a few of my coworkers a couple of weeks ago. I know that I work in a “square” office; but I was still surprised at some of the negative comments I heard. It’s what people are on the inside that matters, especially in the workplace. And to be intolerant of someone just because of the way they look is wrong. I haven’t exactly been a trailblazer; but, many times, I’ve been the only black person in my organization. So, I know what it’s like to have all eyes on you. Everyone is different. And it’s wrong to think less of people because of superficial differences. It seems that the more we become accepting of some things, the more we find other things to dislike. I’m glad that most of the people I know both in real life and in blog land are open-minded and non-judgmental. I just wish more of the world was.
California Girl says she was out in the sun a bit too much this past weekend; but I thought that the weather, especially on Saturday was glorious. Unlike on Sunday when it rained and we went inside, we were in the pool for around three hours. Nothing beats being in the pool on a great summer day with your very significant significant other. She thinks that she looks a little more tan and a little sunburned. What do you guys think?
And despite my reservations, the matching wristwatch I special ordered came in. So, we were only “mismatched” for a week or so. You can see how we’re once again his and hers in the second photograph. Can you tell that I’ve got a suntan too? We really enjoy the burning days of summer. As always, click to enlarge.

There were some leis left over from The Girl’s Hawaiian themed birthday party that we thought would make a good prop. So we put on a few of them and did what we like to do. We thought they made for some interesting photographs, and as always it was a lot of fun. The only thing better would be if we were on asandy beach in Hawaii enjoying a cool Pacific breeze.

It was good pool weather when I got home from work on Wednesday so I spent the evening in the pool rather than editing and posting photos. Since it’s already almost time for Half Nekkid Thursday we just posting a single picture from Tuesday’s photo session. The rest will be in our soon to appear HNT post. For obvious reasons, our theme for today is “it’s all run together”. Even so, we hope that you enjoy the quick pic. Click to enlarge.
