Married In Ohio

Diaphragm Blues

Midwestern City Boy — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:45:43 +0000

Meijer no longer stocks Gynol II, the contraceptive jelly, California Girl uses with her diaphragm. We called drugstore after drugstore and couldn’t find any place that carried it. We’ve ordered some on the internet; but it won’t be here before the middle of next week at the earliest. It looks like the tube has 2-3 more applications which is not enough for a week; especially with the weekend coming up. It looks like I’ll be checking out the prophylactics aisle on my way home from work.

I mentioned yesterday that I got cracked in the ribs pretty hard when I was sparring on Saturday. Fortunately, California Girl gives me plenty of TLC when I’m “wounded”. I would rather not be sore; but she does a good job of making me feel better. In the first photograph she’s examine the swelling around my sore ribs. In the rest if the pictures, she’s attending to my perfectly healthy dick.

To get some extra-special TLC after you’ve overdone it at the gym, talk to your significant other.

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl).

The weather that we have been having is unreal. Another day with temperatures in the 60s. I saw women outside working out in tank tops. “Colder” temperatures are forecast; but still not typical February weather.
I mentioned last week that I got in some good shots when I was sparring and didn’t get hit hard. Unfortunately, the last time out was the reverse. I’m still sore from some of the punches. I’m not injured; but, I do have a couple of tender areas.
I noticed where I was in the gym it’s not nearly as crowded as it was right after the first of the year. There are a few new people who’ve continued to work out; but, sadly, most people didn’t stick with it. Getting and staying in shape is hard work; but the results are worth it.
California Girl and I have been considering getting a Keurig coffee maker and was wondering in if anyone has any firsthand experience with them.

Amazingly, it was 60-degrees today! Temperatures that warm are unheard of here in Ohio for the last day of January. We know it won’t last; but that hasn’t stopped us from enjoying it. If anything, that has made it even more delightful. Since the weather was so spring like, we decided to feature California Girl in spring attire in today. So here are some pictures of California Girl dressed in short shorts (and less). And, despite the warm weather, I didn’t have to do the homeowner thing, so today was much better than last Tuesday.

Empty Nest Thursday – 3

Wednesday was one of those days. I woke up without any energy and stayed that way the entire day. I’m usually “OK” when I’m tired; but, not this time. My headgear for boxing fell out of my gear bag which, in addition to the nuisance of replacing it, is like losing $70. I looked everywhere only to discover it was right next to where I keep my bag. I seldom misplace something in plain sight and then overlook it while looking all around; but it was that type of a day. So, I was glad to get back in bed and forget about life for a while. California Girl definitely perked me up. And, as always, here are the results of my energy infusion.

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl).

I’ve been sparring pretty regularly since the first of the holidays. So far, there have been a few really good punches each session. Sometimes I’m the one receiving them, sometimes I’m the one delivering them. The Last time I was in the ring, I got in a few good shots; and didn’t get hit hard. I hope it’s a sign that I’m getting better.
Intellectually, I know it’s cheaper and more convenient to work on repair appliances myself rather than call a repairman; but, they always seem to break down at inopportune times.
California Girl and I are thinking about having an encore photo session today for no particular reason. Not that we ever need a reason.
I got a new boss today at work. My fourth in less than a year. I would really, really love (or really, really hate) having the same manager for a year or longer. So, in a way, the changer is kinda good. It means I’m never happy for an extended period of time; but I’m never unhappy for an extend period of time either.

After last week’s self-censored post, California Girl and I assumed that we would have a more typical Tuesday photo session this week. Unfortunately, our clothes dryer did not cooperate. We spent ~~most~~ all of the evening disassembling and reassembling it. It appears to be working normally again; but it was a long evening. It definitely was NOT how we planned so spend the evening. So, here is a picture of the offending device, decorated, of course, by California Girl.

And here is a picture of what we would rather have been doing.

P.S. As you can see from the second photo, we did get to our “normal” Tuesday activities; but it was much later that we planned.

To juxtapose the photograph that we posted yesterday in support of the protest against SOPA/PIPA and Internet Censorship, today we are posting some pictures which have definitely not been censored. In fact, cropping and resizing for the web was the only editing performed. And, the photos were specifically chosen because they left nothing to the imagination. We hope you enjoy or second edition of Empty Nest Thursday.

Since today is Internet Blackout Day we decided to censor the photographs in our (belated) Two For Tuesday post to protest SOPA/PIPA and Internet Censorship. Still NSFW; but, definitely not as racy what we typically post. Hopefully, this is not what our Internet world will become.

Two Quick Notes

Midwestern City Boy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:50:30 +0000

Two quick notes.

We are participating in Internet Blackout Day on Wednesday so Married In Ohio will be “dark” from 8:00AM to 8:00PM. During that time, this entire site as well as many others across the internet will be censored/blocked to protest SOPA/PIPA.
It’s been a busy day/week here in Married In Ohio land so we will be holding our photo session on Wednesday rather than Tuesday. As a result, our Two For Tuesday and post will be published a day later than normal. We will not be doing Random Wednesday this week.

P.S. We are empty nesters once again. Good for taking pictures; but bad for other things.
