Gaying it Up

Like I have to even try...

Last weekend was full of Easter activity. Good Friday service at church. (It was the somber one, where you're supposed to wear black, but no one told me. I had on brown and reminded people brown is the new black.) Saturday I recovered from my Good Friday 12 mile run. I'm totally feeling ready for the half marathon next weekend. I haven't trained exactly like I should, but I know I'm mentally and physically ready to finish strong. Saturday evening we did Mexican at a new place with some friends and the food gave me an upset stomach. The kind that almost made the think I was dehydrated from my previous day's run, although I drank lots of water and sports drinks to recoup. After dinner I recovered in time for a GLBT band concert. I was impressed. They played some recognizable tunes, including Espana (it's the bullfighter song, you'd know it if you heard it), and selections from the opera Carmen. We left at intermission (I jokingly called it halftime) because it was a school night/church night and we had the big Easter service(s) coming up.

The choir was phenomenal in both services (of course I'm a bit biased). After church our friends made reservations at some swanky steakhouse. We also had an invite for lunch at another friend's home, but politely declined. We chose the 3 course brunch option...the food was ok...but again it reminded me of the thought...'how much do you pay for food...how much is too much...and is 35 bucks a person too much for just 'ok' dining.

This week is even gayer...the Men's Chorus concert is Saturday night (SHOWTUNES!...is the title)...and then we're doing dinner for Sarah's bday beforehand...she turns 23 (I think). In a recent post I identified her as younger.

Have a marvelous weekend...

Sri Lankan Sister Sex

Well if that doesn't get more hits to this blog, I don't know what will.

Today I was talking with a good friend and co worker about how she often cancels plans with her friends to do things with her family. For example, last weekend she traveled to the Big City with her mom, dad, and sister to see her other sister. Tonight, she ditched us to go out with the other sister who was in visiting. She probably sees said other sister a few times a month. In her Sri Lankan culture, family is very important. I understand that part. However, it seems like a constant cancellation with her.

So I said, you just saw your sister five days ago, can't you bring her along for a few drinks tonight? She replied, 'Well you go see J every weekend and don't stay here to hang out with us!"
I responded, "Yes, but you're not having sex with your sister...that's totally different."

PS...I did my 12 miles last Friday! Gearing up for the big half on April 6th!!!

The Vaginatarian

During a fancy-smancy dinner party last Saturday evening, I cast aside my aversion to seafood, and took the plunge. As part of the multi-course meal, we dined on avocado halves with cheese, bacon, and tomato...a phyllo shell salad with veggies in a cream sauce...and then...grilled scallops in a dill yogurt dressing. We also had succulent prime rib and scalloped potatoes and a chocolate orange cake filling with cream icing.

Yes, I ate the scallops...well one and a half anyway. I felt like I was really braving new territory...plus I didn't want to offend the chef/hosts. I passed on the jumbo prawn though.

So just because I dined on some 'fish', doesn't mean I'm going muff diving anytime soon.

One of "J"s neighbors actually advertises the contrary. On a bumper sticker he proudly proclaims, "I'm a vagina-tarian". Lovely.

Lesbian Lovin'

Let's flashback ten years (about the last time I posted something...more like 10 days...but moving)...

No let's flashback 12 years to January of 1996. "W" was a fresh faced, 155 pound senior in high school. "W" lived for every Thursday night to watch his new found favorite Must See TV...FRIENDS! I'd set the VCR to record my little precious to re-watch the hilarity on the weekend. Yes, much like now, I had no life back then either.

However, when we got to "The One With The Lesbian Wedding", I was totally disgusted and only watched the episode...and purposely did not record it, because being a lesbian was wrong and gross.

Little did I know.

Saturday, I was supposed to go to to a holy union for a couple of carpet munchers from church...love 'em actually...because they love J and me. However, I was sick (another reason for not posting all week last week)...so I skipped out.

Ok...right now Dancing With the Stars is on...and my celebrity girlfriend Monica Seles is on. She's never been known for her footwork on the tennis court...so I'm anxious to see her move on the dance floor.

Later,

Like Sands Through The Hourglass...

Well lo and behold...

A whole week has passed since my last entry. Oops. Sue me.

I'm really away from blogging starting Friday morning until Monday night....so I only have a four day window to write stuff...and lately it seems like time passes and I'm not really going anywhere or doing anything.

Two months into the year...I haven't really stuck with my 1700 calorie a day diet...I haven't been faithful at the gym...I haven't even been faithful to my half marathon training. I am doing my long runs as it gets closer and closer...so that's the good part. I know I can hang with the long requirements each week...and in the end...that's what counts. I've been fighting a cold/not feeling 100% and the weather too. Two ice storms and some snow thrown on top isn't fun or run friendly.

I did do my required 9 miles last Saturday. It took a little longer than I'd hoped...but I got the job done. I tried using an energy gel about halfway through. I ripped open the packet and squeezed the strawberry kiwi flavored goo into my mouth. It tasted like flavored lube (ew)...so after forcing part of it down, I drank some water and the rest wasn't so bad. It actually really helped pick me up. I wish I had another toward the end.

This week it's ten.

Here's a random shirtless pictures of hottie Rami Kashou from Project Runway. Love me some Israeli stud meat! Tonight is the season finale, so we'll see who wins. My prediction...Jillian.

Later,
