I last left you with the weird situation Mr. McKay and I found ourselves in where I had bought him an anniversary gift and he had not reciprocated.
It's all good now.
We celebrated our five year wedding anniversary this past Friday. I gave him his gift the night before because I told him I still wanted him to have it- but I was no longer calling it an anniversary gift.
I got him a new record player, which is a story all by itself- but long story short his broke when we moved five years ago. So he has had shelves full of records with no way to listen to them. It was something I knew he would like that he wouldn't spend the money on for himself and I wanted him to have it.
He loved the record player and still feels bad about the whole gift exchanging blunder, but I think I can use that in my favor (what's the expiration date on that?).
We took a little two night get away this week. Nothing crazy, but anytime I stay in a hotel I feel like I am on vacation. It was just nice to relax and not have to worry about doing the dishes or cleaning the litter box (of course it was all waiting for us when we got home- but still).
And the hotel sex... you know what I mean, right? There's something different about it. I like to think we have a pretty awesome sex life anyway. But something about being in a hotel just makes it seem hotter.
I packed all of our toys, mostly because they were strewn around our bedroom and we had a friend stopping in to check on the cats, so it was just as easy to shove them in the suitcase as it was to put them away.
We had some drinks and looked at the porn titles (they used to be much funnier, none were very inventive this year- and seriously what is up with the MILF fixation? I mean, good for them I guess, but I don't get it as a genre).
I guess I was a little louder and more uninhibited than usual because afterwards as we took the elevator downstairs to get something to eat my husband commented that he felt bad for our neighbors.
"Were we that loud?" I ask, really not thinking we were.
"Well, there was the spanking," he responds.
"Oh, yeah, it sort of echoed," I agree.
"It sounded like gunshots!"
"Yeah, good job, by the way," I add.
(Is this a weird conversation to have in an elevator?)
The anal sex that followed the spanking was probably louder. Again: me + booze + hotel room= insanely loud.
Sorry hotel neighbors! But I don't know you and never have to see you again anyway, you could just turn the volume up on your pay per view hotel porn.
Anyway, let's talk about hotel sex. Do you in general find it to be hotter? I'd like to know if I am the only one.
You two sound like such a fun couple--but I wouldn't want to be your hotel neighbors. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really don't think we were that loud. And I couldn't hear anyone else, so chances are they didn't hear us! And we are a fun couple :)
DeleteHa! I love your marriage-related anecdotes although I agree with Cara. I'd hate to have a hotel room next to you guys.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have a pin-up girl for every occasion. Girl in a gift box last post, girl with a record player here. They're always so lovely and cheerful.
You would love to have a hotel room next to us because we would invite you in for drinks and save the loud sex for home :)
ReplyDeleteI have never had sex in a hotel room. lol Yeah, I know. My sexual education is sorely lacking. I have, however, heard a lot of people having sex. I'm hard of hearing, so you'd have to be trying really hard for me to hear it over the TV, which (because I'm hard of hearing) is also loud. And usually on the Discovery Channel...No, really...
ReplyDeleteIf the TV's still on, I really don't care. When I turn the TV off, however, and am trying to sleep, if I can still hear the neighbors bumpin' uglies, then at that point I consider it a personal challenge. They started it, so they should not be at all surprised when I start thumping my headboard on the wall and moaning and groaning back at them. Challenge accepted. The reigning champion has defended her title. Now, shut up already and go to sleep. It's two in the flippin' morning and some of us--well okay, not me, but some--have day jobs!
Forgive the grumpiness. I just got up. As always, I love the blog posts you share about you and your hubby.
Okay it wasn't two in the morning, we aren't that young! haha! Maren, you need to have hotel sex, it is hot! Trust me :)
DeleteThe mister and I used to be masters of hotel sex. We'd often get a hotel room for no other reason than to have naughty sex. Even after we lived together. Then we had our son...
ReplyDeleteNow if we are by ourselves staying at a hotel we often go out til the wee hours and sleep as late as possible. No nooky. It's sad really. I will say staying at relatives and friends houses is a different story. We're in a broom closet (sneaky sex) phase of our relationship. So I guess we're 'that' couple. We like to think no one knows we snuck off to shag, but they probably do.
Well, we stayed for two nights. The first night was all about crazy hotel sex. The second night came after a day of sight seeing and we pretty much laid around in our pajamas and complained about how tired we were, apparently we can only be wild and crazy for one night!
DeleteAre you saying if I invite you over to a party I should make sure I have room in my broom closet? I kind of love that you are that couple!
We aren't that bad! We do not get down to hanky panky at parties or bbqs. That's where I draw the line. Now if we stayed over, yeah. Especially if we're there for a full weekend. And it was never my thing. It's always been my husbands fav though, and who am I to argue? Knowing we can get caught trips his trigger.
DeleteI think we spent so many years sneaking around and trying not to get caught by various family members (and too many close calls) that neither of us finds that appealing. Hence my husband's mortification that- god forbid- our neighbors at the hotel heard us! I didn't really care- I don't even care if our neighbors at home can hear us.
DeleteYeah, that's unfortunately (fortunately?) what my husband loves about it. We've been caught by various family members including his dad and grandma!! (the horror) When we had an apartment our downstairs neighbor moved out b/c of us. She was an elderly woman and not a fan of our young love. We've had the police called on us for 'domestic disturbance' from our neighbors at our old house. He loves it. I find it embarrassing but get swept up in the moment. It could be worse. We could be the couple that haven't had sex in six months.
DeleteYes, definitely hotter. I think it's a) something new and fresh (kinda like the wearing a wig or role playing) and b) hopefully you're more relaxed because you're on vacation. I say hopefully, because sometimes I'm all wound up about traveling-lol. So glad you had a great time!! Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteA wig you say? I have not tried a wig before!
DeleteAnd thank you, it was a relaxing and nice Anniversary getaway.
A wig is brilliant....
DeleteSo are lingerie surprises like stockings and a real retro garterbelt. (Which has the added benefit of defining the target for spanking activities and other delights.)
Sounds like you had great fun.
I feel like we sneak around to have sex at hotels because our kids are always with us and they are definitely curious... I love your story!! If I had read it before coming over we could have discussed in detail!!! Happy anniversary. Glad there was anal ;)
ReplyDeleteYou need a night in a hotel without kids! Drop them off here, I will feed them sugar and let them run with scissors. I mean, I will watch them closely and guard them with my life (whatever I can do both at once!).
DeleteI wish you more anal- that is my wish for the world. "Oh this doesn't have anal? I'm returning it!"- I think that is a good reason, personally.
