Contain Yourselves!
A friend invited me the grand opening/30th Anniversary celebration for The Container Store last night. And since Be is out of town on business I decided to tag along. I didn't know what to expect and I really didn't know what the event was for until my guest and I showed up at my friends place. That's when we learned it was all the way in Plano which is about 40 minutes from where I live and that they were expecting over 3,000 people. We get there at 7 p.m. and we see this:
It was at an actual store. Nice/Fancy? That is not the place I would have a party if I was celebrating my 30th anniversary but no big deal, it wasn't my decision. Other than the fact that it was at their store it turned out to be a nice evening. The food was amazing! They had little food stations set up throughout the store and the best part of it all is that they used items from the store to serve the food. So the caterers were walking around with a picture frame as their serving platter and we were eating out of things that you can actually find at the store. For example, they had Asian food and we ate that out of these take out boxes, soup was served in glass jars and dessert was served in clear amac boxes. I thought that was very creative and unique and a great way to get people to notice your products.
They even had a great live band and dance floor...and what's worse is that people were actually attempting to dance.
It was funny. There were more cougars than you could shake a stick at and they were all flirting with the young cute caterer boys.
It was fun but after a while we got a little bored. So we decided to practise our "I don't care" and "I am bored" looks like the bitchy queens we are. So we stood around for a good while trying to show my friend how to pull those looks off. Unfortunately there were other bitchy queens there that have the look down to a science. As we were walking past a group of them they gave us the I don't care and I am bored look in a combination and threw in sound effects. I must master that combination. Since we were beaten at our own game we decided to window shop and I found some pretty good deals. When was the last time you were at The Container Store? It's been at least a year for me and I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. Are you ready? It's not just containers! I found some great pet necessities like this pet travel container and this pet food scoop both of which I am going back to buy. I also found this tea storage box I am considering getting. And look at this bungee chair! It is so comfortable, especially after stuffing my face with all the food that passed my way.
Once we got bored with window shopping we found this great little device.
It lets you practise your fisting technique! See it's more than just containers.

Does anyone have anything interesting to report? Anything?
Work is really slow right now. We all have to take our vacations by the end of this month or we loose the time that we accumulated so everyone is out of the office and as a result we are completely bored out of our minds.
I would take time off but I don't have any left. So if you have a blog I need you to update. If you don't have a blog I need you to leave a comment and entertain me.
Sincerely,
Me

Slut
Every so often I check the stats on my page. Not because I have a lot of readers just because I am curious and I am always surprised what keywords people use to get to my blog. Someone found my blog by looking up Slutty Confessions. Maybe I should write about my slutty confessions more often to give them a reason to come back.

Freakishly Big
My sister mentioned that my right leg looked swollen after I came back with bloody and bruised legs from the tubing trip. I didn't think anything about it, I was putting ice on it, neosporin, and I was taking really good care of it because I HATE scars. I guess this is also a confession. I hate scars on my body but I think scars on other people can be sexy. Anyway, back to the original post.
So yesterday I was at the gym and I was working out my calf's when I noticed that my right calf is freakishly big when you compare it to my left one. It bothered me so much that I went directly to the mirror and started to compare my legs, I am sure everyone at the gym thought I was a freak but I had a problem on my hands (or legs). Later that night, after a few cocktails and a bottle of wine B and I were sitting on the couch and I bolt up and stand directly in front of the t.v. to have B inspect my legs. After he confirmed that my right one is abnormally big we break out the measuring tape and start taking measurements.
After many attempts the measuring tape confirmed what our eyes saw, my calf is huge! So from now on I will only be working out my left calf.
Make me feel better and tell me about your body parts that are abnormally big.

Gay Pride
It's Gay Pride Month here in the U.S. and my b/f works for a gay organization so he has to travel to different pride events around the country every weekend. It's not fun for him because most of the places he visits have been really hot (temperature wise) and he has to be outside in the heat talking to people. So he doesn't really enjoy it.
He has to go to Houston Pride next weekend. Two friends and I decided to drive down there for the weekend and enjoy pride. I went with B to Houston pride last year and I "volunteered" to help him. By volunteer, I mean I had to help him because the guy that went with him decided he was "sick" so I went and helped out. It was hot, humid, and raining and we had a big argument. It wasn't fun for either of us.
This year I am not planning on helping unless something really bad happens and all of his volunteers don't show up. But as of now, I am planning an hanging out with my friends and enjoy the festivities.
If you were dating me, would it bother you that I was there having a good time while you were worked your ass off?
Have you been to a pride event? Did you enjoy it?

The Scream
So I promised I would post a picture of B and here it is!
While my mother was in town I made flour tortillas and one of them ended up looking like the face from the painting The Scream.
I thought about putting it on Ebay but before I could save it B ended up eating it.

Tease
My home computer is trying to torture me and it's not letting me use the internet so I won't be making any post this weekend.
I will be posting a picture of my boyfriend B on Monday so stay tuned.

Never judge a book by it's cover
I was at the gym during lunch today and while working out a guy that is always there with who I thought was his lover comes over and asks about the big band-aid on my leg. The band-aid is covering up the big gash that I picked up while tubing. We make small talk and I learn that the guy who he works out with is straight and married with kids (no one would have ever guessed that), we went to the same school for our MBA, and he is a pharmacist.
Later he comes back as I am doing hammer curls and says:
Him: I forgot to tell you something really funny.
Me: (concerned about what it could be) Oh yea, what's that?
Him: I always see you coming in with your work clothes and I pegged you as a pharmacist. I thought 'he must work over at CVS'.
Me: (Laugh) No, I sure don't.
As he walks away I make a mental note: Start Dressing Better!

Self Portrait

Mom
I know I need to post about tubing but I have another brief post. And besides, we haven’t uploaded the pictures yet so it will have to wait another few days.
So my mom has been staying with B and I this week. I picked her up on Monday and I took Tuesday off to spend with her. We really didn’t do much other than shopping and lots of cooking. It was nice just hanging out with my mom. Every time she comes into town she always makes me my favorite food. Chile con Carne and hand made flour tortillas. It’s the best comfort food and she makes me enough to last me a few weeks. Thank god for freezers.
Mom has been sleeping in our room and B and I have been sleeping in a blow up mattress in the living room. It hasn’t been comfortable but it’s been nice.
But that’s not really what I wanted to post about. Yes it’s been nice having my mom around and I enjoy spending time with her but I wanted to post about how comfortable she has gotten with the whole gay thing. She has been very supportive and has made a real effort to make B feel comfortable. The day we picked her up she gave him a little gift that she gave all of the son-in-laws and on Monday she gave him a little something also. It’s the little things, you know? I don’t need her to be a PFLAG mom or anything like that. I just want her to love me. And she does…and she always has. I never doubted it but it’s nice to see that she (along with the rest of my family) accepts me for who I am and who I choose to share my life with.
Anyway, I don’t really have the words to express how I feel but I wanted to share something. I think I am very lucky to have the family that I have.

Tubing Weekend
This is a short post so I can share the pictures below. I will make a more detailed post with more pictures later.
The weekend was a lot of fun. We drove down to the river in South TX. We stopped at Sam's on the way out there to pick up groceries. There were a total of 14 people, 4 gay guys and 10 lesbians, and after 45 minutes at Sam's we came out with 3 cards of groceries and 10 cases of beer.
It looks like a lot of food but we were there for 3 nights and 4 days. So it was just enough.
Thank God lesbians travel with rope and bungee cords or we would have never made it with all the food packed behind a trailer.
We ran out of beer on the second day so we had to go to the local grocery store and pick up 5 more cases.
I came back with a bit of a tan, 4 lbs heavier, with some bloody and bruised legs, and a few new friends.
