Vacation Here we COME!

We booked our vacation to Costa Rica last night and I am so excited. It's an "adventure/adrenaline" vacation and we are scheduled to do all of the following:

kayak
water rafting
Zip Line
Visit the volcano
and lounge at the beach

I am totally excited about it and I can't wait for November to get here so I can get out of town.

Houston Recap

I am still trying to recover from Houston and I am afraid I am not in the mood for a long or detailed post so here are the basics.

Friday:
My friends picked me up, it ended up being just 3 of us since one backed out. We made great time and got there in about 3 hours instead of 4 thanks to our speed demon driver.

When i got dropped off at the hotel B was already dressed and ready to go out so I did a quick outfit change and headed out with B and his co-worker to the bars. We met up with B's old roommate and his friends and later my friends joined us. B didn't stay long since he had to get up early so my friends and I left the bar and went to some other bars. I didn't get back to the hotel until around 3 or 4.

Saturday:
I got a wake up call at 10 a.m. because my friend was hungry so I was picked up, we did a quick drive by where B was for work and then went to the mall shopping. I didn't buy anything for myself but I found a couple of shirts for B.

Later that night we went to the parade (see previous posts) and we went dancing. We had a great time and didn't get back to the hotel until 5 a.m.

Sunday:
I woke up at early to pack and get ready for the drive back. B was flying back so he got to sleep in a little longer than I did. The drive back was very quiet at first because we were all tired but it was good. We got back home at the same time that B did so I just lounged all afternoon and B went to sleep at 4:30 p.m. and didn't wake up until the next day. I was a bit bored and wanted to wake him up but I knew he was tired.

We took Monday off to relax and didn't really do much other than hang out and watch movies at home.

Houston here we come!

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?

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.

I am back!

I am back from Seattle and I have tons of pictures and stories to share.
I will probably post later this week or on the weekend.

Seattle here we COME!

B and I have booked our trip to Seattle. We will be there for about a week and we have no clue what we are going to do yet. We leave in two weeks so we have some time to research...but not much.

Any ideas? Have you been? Any recomendations?

Los Angeles

My trip to Los Angeles was a lot of fun and I cam back with a nice tan.

 

It was extremely hot while I was there. One day, the temperature was 111 degrees farenheit. It was horrible. My parents live in the valley so we would leave the valley during the day and go to the beach and hang out. The temperature was about 85 degrees and the water was freezing cold, it was probably in the 60's.

 

I was there for my neices Quinceñera, which is like a sweet sixteen, and the party was a lot of fun.

 

I met up with a blogger while I was there. Robert, previously of Mrhappysad.com. He doesn't blog anymore but he should. Robert took me shopping and out to dinner. Thanks Robert!

 

 

Weekend Update

I don't post as much as I should. I was thinking about that last night as I was doing my laundry and watching a movie at home.

B and I went to NYC this past weekend and we had a great time. We said we weren't going to do any of the touristy stuff and we were just going to take it easy but we ended up doing way to much.

We got there on Thursday and we went to the Brooklyn Philharmonic. That was really nice. After we just walked around the city.

Friday we went out to dinner at a really nice restaurant and after we took a yacht tour around the NY harbor. It was really nice. The view of the city at night was amazing. The yacht was kind of empty, there were about 20 people there, and we had whole side of the yacht to ourselves. It was nice and romantic. B loves Champaign so I picked up a bottle of Champaign on our way down there.

Saturday we saw Les Miserables. It was really good. B had never walked around Central Park so on our back from Harlem we walked through Central park for a couple of hours.

We also got some shopping in, we at Sylvia's Soul Food Restaurant (where Bill Clinton eats), walked the Brooklyn Bridge, walked around Brooklyn Heights, went to the NBC Today Show concert in the Square where we heard KT Tunstall, went out to a couple of bars and did some other stuff.

Somewhere along the way B picked up an accent. It's this Italian/New Yorker sleazy guy voice that he does and every time he does it I get chills all over my body. Not the good kind, the bad kind…so he has been doing it a lot. It's kind of funny.

That is it. I am back at home trying to get back into the swing of things. Next stop….Los Angeles. We are going for my nieces Quinceñera in September. That should be tons of fun.

Weekend O' Fun

Well, I am way to lazy to write a post about what a wonderful weekend I had visiting my friend KB in Minesota this past weekend. So instead I am going to link you to her page and you can read my LONG comment about some of the stuff she didn't mention.

It was the best trip I have had in a very long time. And it wasn't as relaxing as I wanted it to be because we were always doing something but it was definetly a lot better than I expected.
