(no subject)
Lots to report on, been a busy weekend.
Friday after I stopped at the Hookah Lounge for a quick one, Paul and I went to one of the Pride kick off parties. The Shamrock was still (and is still) closed, so we went to the Corral Room after eating a late dinner at the Tornado Room.
Saturday I had an eye appointment (where we found out I might have a benign tumor in one eye--nothing to worry about right now, but I have to go back in 6 months to check on it) at the mall and then stopped by the bank. Went to Maxwell Street days and picked up some cute shoes. Then off to Pride for my security shift. Same as last few years, it was sunny, hot and I just wondered around and chatted with people. We went out to Club 5 for the drag show on the patio that night. My ex-BF (and friend) Bob was far gone and inserted himself into the drag show, doing back up dancing for Miss Gay Pride 2006, Lulu. We plan to never let him live that down.
Sunday we tried to get up for brunch, as Glenn (owner of the Shamrock) was catering brunch to Genna's. We slept and but still made it to the Pride picnic in time for my security shift. I helped direct traffic for the parade and then wondered the vendor area. Paul was working as a bar tender that day and seemed to enjoy the free beer. Then we went to volleyball at Bowl-A-Vard. I had expected it to be canceled for Pride, but we took a vote and it was 2-to-1 to play. We won all three again, still undefeated. Then we played pick up until the mosquitos drove us away. Paul even got out on the court.
Last night we had the early game at softball. It was also skirt night (for the Orange team) and I got a lot of compliments on my cute legs. Seems a short orange mini skirt shows off my calves. I also hit an in park home run, which is a first for me this year. We lost, but had fun.
Tonight is a double header for volleyball and then pick up until we break for pizza and beer. I've decided (I think) to not play softball this fall. I'm playing 2 nights of volleyball and want time to spend with Paul. I will try and play in the tournament on Labor Day in Milwaukee, if anyone asks me.
I'm only logging on to post this. I haven't had time to start HP7, so don't want to risk spoilers. Wednesday I plan to make a dent into it while I wait for the concert on the square to start.
