Vibrating Geek Relationships. With Batteries.

It has been a hell of a week. Cranky customers, broken technology and long nights stressed both of us out. We even ended up shouting at each other over something stupid one afternoon. When Friday finally arrived I felt like a giant weight had lifted. I’d survived, hadn’t ruined any relationships and was so incrediby ready for the weekend. 2! Whole! Days! with no customers, no deadlines and time to actually think. More importantly time to actually be a couple.

I started flirting with Cam early in the day. This somewhat backfired as I was informed that when I started talking about sex before 3 pm I was always asleep by 9pm. I protested this wasn’t always the case, but he was quite adamant that if I start before 3, I can’t stay awake.

Well, now I had my challenge! Continue flirting and stay awake after 9pm. Given how long the week was, it wasn’t looking good. We went out for a late lunch together and ended up at home a little after 5. Then we declared it the weekend.

First on the agenda was a long soak. Our tub is not quite a tub for 2, it’s a tub for about 1 3/4. We share pretty good, though. It was very nice: hot water, lavender bath salts, candles, a cuddly hubby. Quiet relaxation together. There isn’t much better for shrugging off the work week.

This is looking even worse for me staying up until 9. I relax and generally that translates into me falling asleep. (stressed? uptight? me?)

After turning into prunes in the tub, we got out and decided to curl up in bed and watch a movie. We had The Golden Compass. Cam has read the books, I haven’t. The movie was quite good, although I suspect that there was a lot of background in the books that was either left out or condensed in the movie.

Watching a movie didn’t bode well for me staying up, either. I have a habit of falling asleep during movies.

Happily, though, I stayed up through the entire movie. Around 9:02 I pointed out it was after 9 and I was still awake and what was he going to do about it? Well, he had a plan and it was lots of fun.

The past 2 weeks have been incredibly busy. Ended up going to SoCal to be at a friends’ wedding last week. Then this week I was off for a 3 day conference.

The wedding was awesome. J&T have been together for 10 years now, and a few months ago J IM’d me saying “hey, did you know that Town is in California?” After a few moments of me being confused she clarified. “It’s legal for us to get married in California.” LIGHT BULB!! The wedding itself was lovely, 2 beautiful brides incredibly happy and utterly romantic.

It was very, very neat how many people were supportive. The wedding itself was held on a boat before a dinner cruise. At the dinner, the DJ introduced all the special events, including J&T. Throughout the evening people were coming up and congratulating them and telling them how wonderful it was. Likewise, as we walked to the boat there were a number of people on the street offering support and congratulations.

For my own part, I feel quite privileged to be witness #1 on their marriage license. It is, in the grand scheme of things, not a big deal. And, yet, it feels like I get to be a part of history. And I’m honored they trust I will stand up for them, if the need ever arises.

A few days after the wedding J IM’d me and the first thing she said, before Hello! even, was “MARRIED SEX ROCKS!” which made me giggle. Cam, hearing me giggle asked what was so funny. I told him and he just commented “sometimes.”

pbtbtbtbtbt. He’s such a riot.

Recently there hasn’t been much married sex around here, but what it’s lacked in quantity it’s more than made up for in quality. We’re planning on heading up to Folsom Sunday, which should be fun. I would really like to get a corset, but am body shy enough I’m not sure I can try one on in public. Cam, being his uber supportive self, says “just wear a clean bra, it will be fine. Or, you could go to the local_lingerie_store and buy new stuff.” He stops for a moment, grins and says, “There aren’t many fairs where before you go you have to buy new underwear.”

Disjointed and random, but I’m finding it hard to focus.

After a couple of bloody mary’s yesterday (mmm… liquid brunch) I took a brief nap on the couch. Nice, relaxing day. I needed that. Too many days of tension headaches in a row was pretty icky. A real day off yesterday helped a lot, though.

Stress destroys my libido, but the relax and recharge helped me remember that I actually have one. It was, in many ways, old married people sex. But there are days when old married people sex is just what’s needed. Last night was one of those. He’s been coding heavily recently and that often makes it hard for him to sleep. We started with watching some Firefly. We just got the first DVD through Netflix and have been watching it the last couple days. I can see why people really got into it. It’s quite well done and different. Anyway, after Firefly I gave him a backrub.

I do love the opportunity to touch him all over. It’s one I don’t take nearly enough. His skin under my hands. Feeling him react to me, relaxing and tensing. mmmmmm.

After a while, I have no idea how long, he rolled over and displayed for me how much he enjoyed me touching him. I like that. A lot. So difficult to keep my fingers off him. Fingers, lips, tongue, mouth.

Then time really stopped and It Was Good.
