It went too fast, Friday night I went into town to go to the Trans march, unfortunately R and I never found it. It was so frusturating. I know that he really wanted to go, so did I. I think I needed to do some better research with the address but I've never heard of Gold Medal park. We did decide to go have dinner and head to the after march party and stayed there for a couple of hours. We met up with my friend R who disappeared after a while, we discovered after we were ready to leave. She lived a few blocks away so we stopped by there and visited for a while before we went home. It sure got late! I think it was sometime after 2am when we left. By the time I got to P's house, I decided that I would call the boy and let him know we'd get there in the morning. 

Well Saturday, we slept in and the day was almost over by the time we got back to the country house. We had picked up some greek food and were going to play video games and then have a bonfire for the evening activies. After P wanted to do a Best Buy run, the boy came home with a new video game about zombies. Another late night despite knowing we were going to get up early to meet up with P's friend for the Pride parade. We started in the shade but as the morning went on, we were in the sun. So hot! I've kinda missed the parade for the last couple of years, you've seen one, you've seen them all. This was a little smaller than I remember them being...   We were at the begining of the parade, we had to walk for a number of blocks to get to where we were meeting P's friend. It was pretty packed by the time we got there. Because we usually run late and unprepared, we forgot our chairs (which was fine because there wasn't room anyway), P was sitting on the curb and at one point when she stood up, I realized she had sat in gum. YUCK! I though she had split the jeans because the gum was in the seam. It was very strange, thankfully she brought shorts which she quickly changed into. After the parade, we walked to the park(beat the parade to it) and sat on the benches in the shade watching the crowd come into the park. We saw all sorts, people of all ages, of all types in all sorts of configurations, couples wearing matching clothes, dogs of all breeds, drag queens, leather folks and etc. I wanted to find the booth I was volunteering at before my time so we got up and walked in, ran into B and J and visited with them for a bit, J and R showed up with their son (so cute!) and then found my booth with about 10 minutes to spare. P was too peopled out so she found some more shade under a tree while I did my time. R met up with some friends in the beer garden. 10 minutes past the end of my shift and I was ready to go. I'm enjoying crowds less and less, didn't even really want to walk around to see what I could see, who was there or any shopping.

Walk back to the car, get some food and bring R back home. P and I had some alone time which seems to come so rarely these days and then I left so she could sleep for a few minutes before she had to go to work. UGH for her. I'm ready to crash for my last week of work before we leave for vacation on Saturday morning.

As of this point, I'm probably coming home to no job. I didn't hear from the one place that I interviewed with the Friday before last who said they'd tell me by the next week so hopefully I'll hear something soon, and NOT a letter. I'm sure I'll post more about that soon. Now I need to go to bed!

Good weekend, after the boy left with his father, I took off for the city house. Picked up P and R and went to Pride. We got there sometime after 3pm and could only stay for about 90 minutes because we had reservations at A Taste of India. Saw some folks I knew which I think is the best part of pride. Dinner was great and good company too. After we went home watched a couple of movies Hostel    which was a horrible scary horror movie that I could hardly watch and Waiting which was a whole lot better especially as it was comedy stuff related to waitressing (I did that for about five years). 

We woke up and tried to get going to Pride again, I volunteered in a booth from 1-2pm as P walked around and got some great stuff. After I was done with my work, P got "the call" which was her job asking her to come to work. She agreed to let me walk around once and then we'd go. We ended up having a conversation before she left for work, it delayed her but it was a good conversation. Home again and now I'm realizing that my time off is coming to an end and I've got to get my butt moving. I've got some book reviews to write and cleaning to do as well as get packing for our trip. Essentially we're going to be packed by Thursday night and then I'll take her to work before we leave.

I'll be gone for more than 2 weeks, but perhaps I'll get a voice post in while we're gone.

Good Day

A had a ortho appointment and it seemed pointless to go to it and then return (75 minutes) before I would have to drive another 140 minutes+ for round trip to work....so I decided not to go in today. This meant I got 8 hours of sleep, balanced my checkbook, watched a movie (Dodgeball), did some shopping for the boy and enjoyed some quiet time. It also meant that I called about "consolidating" my student loan so that when the interest goes up 7/1/05, mine is fixed.

So, now I'm thinking about Pride this weekend...trying to figure out my plans. I do have A this weekend but figured with today and tomorrow night, I can spend a little time there. Last year was the first year he decided that he really didn't want to do that anymore. I'm thinking that I want to go to the park on Saturday to walk around....maybe do this speed dating thing(not sure about this...a friend of mine wants to, but I'm not sure). Sunday, I'll certainly go to the parade but maybe not stay too late. This year is the last Dyke night but I've got to work...I only made it to two...like 2-3 years ago, great but what can you do. I'd like to see Ellis and Roxxy Hall band. Saturday a friend of mine and her young daughter are performing at the Stonewall location...might try to make that...or maybe not.
