Cruise Shopping

thepnutgallerySunday - Woke up when Ken did, which was another 4 hr night for me. Didn't really affect me, though. Most of the boys seemed content to laze about the living room, watching TV, drinking coffee and eating doughnuts that Allen was kind enough to fetch. His tennis match and aerobics class was cancelled due to the rain, so that left all of us with a free day. I sat for as long as I could, but eventually got restless and did the dishes from the night before. We went to Applebee's for breakfast, and thouroughly entertained the entirety of the waitstaff there. Having eaten so much the night before, I wasn't hungry, but certainly did slurp down the diet coke. I get my $2.50 worth. After breakfast, we headed to North County Faire for some shopping. Brandon and I were done looooong before everyone else was, but kept up just the same. I almost bought a hat, but it was $40, and I don't really need one. That took us into the afternoon, and most everyone was hungry, except me and Brandon. I was still fine from the night before, and Brandon had hangover tummy. We stopped at VONS, picked up some soda crackers and pizzas, and then went back to Matthew's to get that ready and play a little poker. Poker was fun, if painstakingly long. I was out only second to Ken and Brandon, so quite proud of myself - especially given that the game between the two of them went on for a good couple of hours after I was out. Gave me time to update, check e-mail, etc. etc. Most importantly, I didn't eat anything else other than some crackers. Ken hadn't cum in a couple days, so I figured we'd probably have sex. Added to that, he was drinking Jack Daniels, which apparently makes him randy. The drive home with Brandon was....interesting. Both boys were drunk and randy, and kept talking about how they wouldn't, but could, totally have sex with one another. There was also a little relationship talk, and that sort of thing. At home, Ken asked me if I wanted a 3-way. The honest truth of the matter was that I didn't, but after we went in circles for about 40 days and 40 nights, I finally popped onto A4A. Could have brought someone over, but I don't try for these things, and my profile now reads that I'm not doing the hook-up thing. We also almost got in a fight. Drunk people. Ended up having really really really really awesome sex in spite. Damn it was good. Times like that make me wonder if we shouldn't intentionally wait a couple days each time.
Monday - Slammed at work. I got all of the mail from Friday RC'd, all of my priorities and regular mail reviewed, and even RC'd some of the priorities we got in. No time for anything else. Was supposed to meet Ken at the gym (he stayed late at work), so I headed over on my own. There were no cross-trainers free, so I started on the elliptical, only this time no one left. It was not a fun workout. I barely got through it, and kept trying to quit. I was going to stop after 15 minutes, but of all songs to save me, "Find Your Grail" came on, and I suddenly had energy. I barely got over the 500 mark for calories, total, and did some bicep, should, chest and tummy work. Blah. Stopped at the Fiesta Market on the way home. Some jackass kept giving me dirty looks because I apparently parked too close to his car. Bought more than I intended, but they had some good sales on salad stuff for Ken, so I went ahead and got it. Came home to Ken sleeping on the couch - he'd had a much rougher day than me, worked an hour of OT, then come home and slept. He had gone to Marshall's on his lunch break, picked up a shirt for him, and a shirt and undies for me. He's so thoughtful! I made dinner - chili - which was good, if extraordinarily spicy. I didn't have any initially, and there was a ton leftover. After dinner, we headed off to our counseling appointment. It was decent - I don't feel like we necessarily made any progress, but Ken feels like I'm more direct when we're there, so we're going to keep going. We had to take his exam for re-certification when we got back, even though he was exhausted. He'd already taken it a couple times, and fallen short of the required 70% everytime. I took it with him - I know nothing about insurance, but it's open book, and I'm pretty good at understanding what they're really asking. Yeah, we got an 87. When I realized we weren't going to have sex, I went into the kitchen to make my breakfast for the next day and ended up eating most of the leftover chili. It was all black beans and tomatoes, so not terribly bad, but kind of high on calories for what I'm trying to accomplish. Oh well.
Tuesday - Work was only slightly less busy in terms of the amount we got in, but for all that I was just as slammed. I didn't get up from my desk for a good 5 hrs. I was going to meet Ken at the gym, but ended up tapping out. Instead, we did a BUNCH of running around for the cruise. He spent almost $200 on clothes and make-up for it. Jeebus. But, at least it's done. Back at home, I cooked up some tofu for me, and he made a giant salad for him. I figured we would probably have sex - I wasn't completely confident, but I was as ready as I could be. We did, even though I was super tired (work-day aside, and even without going to the gym, I did do 3 sets of push-ups and crunches). It was good, though I felt bad I wasn't a better lay. Slept BEAUTIFULLY under my Ken-blanket.
