belated happy 4th and such

I hope that everybody had a happy and safe 4th of July! 🙂

Matt and I wound up flying down to VA Beach to hang out with his cousin Todd and his wife and kids. It was a totally random and spontaneous trip but really fun! Todd and Joanne were happy to host us for the night and let us partake on the neighborhood festivities, not to mention the beach! They live 5 minutes from Sylvan Beach so it was just a quick walk through their neighborhood to get down to the water. Their house is very ‘beachy’ and I love it. I could definitely see myself living there! They even had an outdoor shower to use after beach time, Matt and I showered out there just for the sake of showering though. Something else I could easily get used to, it feels really awesome to be outside in the warm sun listening to the birds sing while you’re going about your shower routine. I don’t imagine it gets much use in the wintertime but might as well live it up in the summer. We flew back home late last night, flying back after dark was a really neat experience, so very peaceful cruising up at 4,500 feet.

I have been pretty lazy today… I need to clean up around the house but it’s kind of warm here today so I really have no interest in moving around. Matt is downstairs in the garage taking it apart and cleaning it up so lots of bangs and booms coming up from under me. I guess until I hear a scream I shouldn’t worry about the loud noises.

Going out to CO in less than 2 weeks! I am so glad that Matt was able to use his United points to get me a flight for $10. 🙂 Less money to have to spend or put onto a credit card and then pay off later. Definitely looking forward to seeing his family and spending a few days out on the ranch relaxing and helping out. Oh, of course meeting Matt’s new nephew will be awesome too.

Had to enlist Matt’s help to locate my IUD strings the other night(what can I say, I am paranoid…). He enjoyed helping, haha. I quit spotting/cramping up about a week ago and that kind of worried me, I figured I’d be sore a lot longer than just a week after it was inserted. I guess I am just lucky. We are done with condoms too!

Speaking of sex, does anyone use those arousal gels or anything like that? If so, what do you use and what are your opinions of them?

Alright it is almost 5PM so I should get some work done around here so we can watch some Deadliest Catch tonight and not feel bad about being a bum and sitting on the couch for the evening. Later taters. 🙂

I don’t have an arousal gel but I picked up a lube while we were at the sex store. It’s “Pur” brand and it works really well. Don’t need a lot to get things wet. 😉

Sounds like an amazing 4th! I love beachy houses and towns, so I bet I’d love it there too!

Your CO trip is so close! That’s something to definitely look forward to. I’ve used KY’s yours and mine—the males is kind of a warm sensation and the females is kind of a cool/tingly sensation. I didn’t think they were too bad. Given, we’ve only used them two or three times, but when you are looking for something different, there you go. Ashley

w00t! flying at night is so neat! The ex and I tried KY Mine and Yours, too. The warming one was OK – so long as you used it right away. If we stopped in the middle to use it, it gave me a really uncomfortable burning sensation that was so unsexy. The mens one with the tingling my sister and I joked “put penises to sleep”. He couldn’t stay up! I wasn’t too keen on the sensation, either.

I just use KY Intrigue now. I don’t think there is anything spectacular about it, but I like it.

i, too, wasn’t too impressed with the his and hers – have a whole set waiting to be finished. i recently learned though that the water based ones aren’t much better than the others — it’s all personal preference. people get worried about infections but the woman i spoke to (at a sex shop) said there’s absolutely nothing to worry about, and they feel better.

we don’t use any of the lubes and whatnot, although i’ve been wanting to try the his and hers or whatever. it’s crazy how many different lubes and condoms and junk are out now. glad everything is okay with the IUD! man, it must be SO nice to not have to worry about birth control. i’m considering the IUD but i just don’t know. :/ xo
