HNT - 156

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

One of the nice things about The Boy being away at college is that when The Girl is at soccer practice or out with her friends we have the house to ourselves. When I got home from my late afternoon run to ease the stress of a long day of work, California Girl suggested that we make the most of the empty house. So, we spent some time being more relaxed in the living room than usual. Here are a few pictures showing how relaxed we were.

Two For Tuesday – 149

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

As Labor Day fast approaches, California Girl has a good tan from the time that we have spent in the pool. With all that has been going on, we haven’t been able to spend as much time in the pool as we would like; but she’s still got some nice tan lines. So, we thought that we would show her sitting in the living room showing her late summer tan. Long time readers will remember the comforter from when it used to be in the bedroom. Enjoy. Our HNT post will be up shortly.

Suggestions

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

We received a question in the Shoutbox asking why we haven’t used more of everyone’s suggestions. To be clear, we appreciate everyone taking the time to leave shouts and comments. Unfortunately, many of the ideas require a real live camera person whom we have yet to find; or, don’t allow for full participation for both of us. Not every suggestion falls into those categories. There have been some suggestions that we liked and want to do that we just haven’t got around to yet. We both enjoy having a blog. But real life happens too. And this has been the busiest summer we’ve had since we started blogging. We hope that things slow down soon. We could really, really use the break. Until then, thanks for your patience.

HNT - 155

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

We were supposed to do something with an Olympic theme; but we did that last week. So, we’re going to post a few of our favorites instead. We still had our weekly photo session even though it took a while to get around to posting these pictures. Happy belated HNT everyone.

Two For Tuesday – 148

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

This is the latest Two For Tuesday post in history but something is better than nothing. As hectic as things have been recently, it seems like sex is about the only think that we have stayed caught up on. Here are a couple of photographs of California Girl attending to her brand new diaphragm. I think that this was just the first or second time that she used it.

For an antediluvian method of birth control that works, talk to your doctor. For a fun while using it talk to your significant other.

College Bound

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

As you probably figured out, our recent absence in the world of blogging was due to taking The Boy to college. After the commotion of getting up early, packing the car and the ensuing drive, the time to say goodbye was suddenly on us. No tears were shed; but it was clearly a significant moment. He’s been away from home before; but we always knew exactly when he was going to return. It was always I’ll be back to pick you up on Saturday or the bus gets back to school at 6:00 P.M. Never, I’ll see you around; but I don’t know when. The emptiness in the house the next day after we returned was palpable. No music playing. No Doom monsters growling. Just silence and an empty chair. People say kids grow up fast. Now I truly know what that means. I can’t believe 18 years has gone by since that day in June that I held him up to the window and let him take his first glimpse of the world. Now he’s out in the world all by himself without a safety net (me). I’m sure that he’s doing fine; but I’m not sure that I am.

Still Alive And Kicking

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

We just wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know that we are still alive and kicking. We’ve just been incredibly busy working, doing family things and getting The Boy ready to go off to college. Hopefully, things will slow down towards the end of the week and we’ll be able to catch up on everyone’s blog.

In case you were wondering, we decided to keep the Dell. The Boy has got almost everything that he needs/wants loaded on it. I just hope someone remembers to pack a network cable for his dorm room. We’re still deciding on what to do with the other one; but we’re leaning toward keeping it an let The Girl take it with her when she goes to college in a couple of years.

Update: Look for a new post or two later today (Thursday). School started this week for both children, so about the only thing we have been doing when we’ve been home is sleeping.

Update #2: We’ll be publishing a few backdated posts today. That’s not something that we usually do; but this bog is something of a dairy and, even though we have been offline, a lot of things have been happening.

HNT - 154

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

With the Olympics being held this week, California Girl and I thought it was a good time to hold the blow job Olympics. We’ve always featured a lot of BJs in our HNT posts anyway. It was fun and we ended up with some very interesting pictures. Here is a collage of our favorites. Click an image to enlarge.

Two For Tuesday – 147

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

We were busy with the kids yesterday doing family things so I didn’t get around to posting our Two For Tuesday post until now. I know it’s almost time for HNT; but it’s a collage and I do love my collages. We’ll be doing a collage as well for Thursday with a current events theme. (Can you guess what it is?) Ayway, here’s the Tuesday collage. Click an image to enlarge.

Last Pizza Night

Tuesday, August 12th, 2008

We had the last pizza night for The Boy today. This time next week, he’ll be college bound. California Girl and I really didn’t think about it until The Girl mentioned that today would be his last family pizza night for awhile. The current phase is ending and a new chapter is about to begin. We’re proud that he’s ready to take the next step and think that he’ll do fine; but we’re still going to miss him.
