Married In Ohio

California Girl and I attended homecoming at our college alma matter a couple of weeks ago and spent the night at a luxurious hotel. We gave a preview of some of the pictures for HNT - 162 and HNT - 163. The full set of 20 photographs is available here. We think that they are worth the wait.

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.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that California Girl’s watch battery died and the replacement needed to be special ordered from Seiko. We decided to look for new witches instead which is a good thing because, even though the hands have stopped moving, the date still advances. So, it’s working perfectly if you only need to know the date and not the time.

After some research, we found a set of his and hers watches that we both really, really liked. They were a bit more expensive than we had planned but, even though it’s kind of sappy, we’ve always had matching watches. The local dealer did not have the men’s model in stock but the ladies model was available. Since she really needed a new watch we decided to take a chance and purchase women’s model and have them order the matching men’s version. Hopefully the order will not be canceled and leave us stuck with half of a matched set.

California Girl is not as fond of shiny new toys as I am; but she thought it would be fun to show it off. So here are a couple of pictures of her wearing her new time piece. I think she looks great with or without her new wristwatch. I especially like her tan lines. You can really see how miss matched my old watch is to her new one in we are in the second picture. Even so, I think we make a great pair. We hope you like California Girl and her new jewelry. Click ‘em to big ‘em.

Here is the third and last part of the video that we made a couple of weeks ago. I really wish we had the bandwidth to post them as a single video rather than in pieces. Maybe we’ll have a bigger pipe one of these days. In the meantime, here’s a question for readers/viewers. From a downloading, and playback perspective what do you think is optimum terms of duration (in minutes), resolution (in pixels wide by pixels tall) and size (in megabytes)? We can change any or all of them; but, obviously, if we increase the duration or the resolution it increases the size which, in turn, makes the video take longer do download. And, just like last week, we’re posting a fresh picture just to stay in practice. Click the small image to play the movie. Click the big image to zoom the picture.

As usual, we’re only posting the video in Windows Media format (WMV) to save bandwidth. Leave us a comment if you can’t play it.

We got my mom a digital photo frame for Christmas and loaded it up with photographs of the kids through the years. It took quite a while to pick out all of the photographs but she really liked the finished product and so did we. In fact, I saved all of the selections so that I can make a DVD later.

I thought that it might be cool to do the same thing here since there’s not going to be a Two for Tuesday this week. So, I made a Flash movie of the pictures we have used for TFT throughout the year. I usually create .WMVs; but SWF seemed to be a better format for a slide show. Please let me know what you think. This is my first attempt at a flash movie.

Get the Flash Player to see this video.

P.S. I’ll post our last HNT of the year sometime tomorrow.

Update: Since the movie is a .SWF, I embedded a Flash-based video player to make it easier or users to control. It saves band with too. Let me know what you think of it. I’m considering using the player on “regular” videos if it doesn’t have any glitches.

Osbasso requested that everyone pick three HNT/blogger participants, but only three. And then tell the world what you’d get them for Christmas, if you had the means to do so. Since we also did the same thing last year we’re going to pick three new people. Not because we didn’t like last years choices; but to spread the “imaginary” wealth. We’ll leave a comment or send an email to everyone tomorrow to make sure that they see their gifts.

Our three Christmas wishes go to:

Alfie: You and Emma seem to be really enjoying your retirement, except there seem to be too many sex free zones for one reason or another. So, I would give you a small placard that could turn anywhere you hang it into a sex required zone.

Chickie: I wouldn’t give you anything. Instead I’d give the COAEW a clue or two, so that your life would be a lot more peaceful. And, for good measure, I’d give her a remote off button that only you control so you wouldn’t have to interact with her unless you wanted to.

Private: I’m not going to mention your web addresses but you are not forgotten. Over the years, many of you have had to take your blogs private or even stop blogging completely. I understand the reason’s why; but you’ve given so much to the blogging community that I really wish it was not so. So I’d give you a public blog that automatically stops whoever you don’t want from visiting; but lets in everyone else. That way, you could have the best of both worlds.

And, like last year, here is some gratuitous half-nekkidness for those of you who read this far. Happy holidays from us to you.

Happy Holiday HNT. To find out what Half Nekkid Thursday is all about, visit Osbasso.

Osbasso requested that this week’s HNT feature a Christmas tree. We trimmed the tree the first weekend in December; but California Girl and I haven’t had much time together without the kids around. So, we decided to feature a Christmas theme with photographs that we could take in private. As we have done in the previous years with our Christmas Vacation Sex and Christmas Vacation Sex 2 pages, we will make another installment while we are both on vacation for the holidays. We are half-nekkid (and more) under the Christmas tree in both of those photo posts. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy our substitution.

For the past few days, all I’ve been able to do is stumble home and fall into bed; and then get up and do it all over again the next day. So, it’s pretty good when California Girl does the driving. If you look closely at the picture, you can see that my eyes are closed. She doesn’t really give me blow jobs while I’m asleep; but its fun to pretend.

Of course, blow jobs isn’t all she does, she did wake me up enough to assist her with some other evening activities. I think that she is an excellent driver.

And afterwards, I did what I’d like to be dong a lot more of. I really wished that I didn’t have to get up and go eat dinner.

There are three types of days at the office. Short days where you sit around at the office (like a stuffed animal) and don’t do much of any thing; regular days where you work your normal hours and go home at a reasonable time, and long days where you wonder if you’re ever going to go home. I haven’t had any stuffed animal days in a long time; but I’ve had a lot of very long days recently. It seems like I’m always working. So, we decided to make the theme for today “still working”. I wish I really could work like this.

I would like to thank everyone for the comments to the previous post. I’m feeling much better today, thinks in part to all of your well wishes. Life in the real world seems (almost) normal today.

Someone asked in the sidebar why I pixellate my new hairdo. Other than because I always do, I really couldn’t think of a reason why; so I decided lessen or eliminate the pixilation of my head depending on the angle of the photograph. And, just because I like them I also decided to do a collage. I wasn’t really gone; but the theme for today is “I’m back”. And we’re doing what we usually do in our photo sessions. Enjoy.

For some cheering up like this when you are down talk to your significant other.
