A weekend in Palm Springs

Things got so busy I never got around to posting about the trip Kevin and I took with Rick and Randy to Palm Springs. The weekend was REALLY nice – we spent the weekend going on hikes through the mountains and desert (including Joshua Tree national park), hangin out by the pool, and going out to eat. Rather than go into details i’ll just point you at Randy’s description – he did a GREAT job of describing the weekend..

My contribution to the story is the pictures that Kevin and I took:

A Photo Trip to Palm Springs

‘Nother blog-de-vouz

Just got back from dinner with this guy. Poor guy spent the weekend trying to track me down but work kept foiling his attempts – and i’m SERIOUSLY bummed about it. Ian and Jay were in town for the weekend but I was stuck working for the better part of it so tonight was the first time I had to meet up with them. Had a great time hanging out with them (though they got to endure me being all wound up after work and CHATTY)… Really wish I had been around to hang out with them more… Guess its just another excuse to head north – already owe this guy a visit too… 🙂

On another note, this weekend I did get the honor of going to a ceremony at the Unitarian church in San Francisco for Matt and Brian and a number of other couples. Was really neat to be a part of Matt and Brian’s commitment and to see all of the other happy couples talk about their commitment. And on top of it all, it turns out that the first marriage license the pastor had signed in QUITE some time was for one of those couples – it turns out she had decided to stop signing licenses for straight couples until gay couples had the same rights. Chokes me up just thinking about it..

Next weekend he’s in town – kevin is really exicted to have Rodney and Greg in town.. Watch out…

Picture Walk Round 2

I’ve been crazy busy as usual but this weekend I actually got a break from the grind. I actually took friday and tomorrow off of work (for the most part).. Friday was TOTALLY chill. Quick trip to the dentist (was supposed to be much worse but ended with a quick prescription and an appointment for later) and then chores around the house.

Saturday was Valentines day and Kevin and I had a GREAT day. I cooked him breakfast and then we went to get haircuts, facials, and massages and then we came back and he cooked dinner… VERY nice…

Then today we participated in the 3rd of Randy’s Photo Walk events. This time it was on the USS Hornet over in Alameda. The hornet is a retired World War II Aircraft carrier that’s on display for the public now. VERY cool. And, as usual, I took a lot of crappy pictures and one or two decent ones… You be the judge:

Now we’re gonna go meet a buddy for cocktails since i’m taking a vacation day tomorrow (kevin has the day off and I needed a break)…

Got a BNUNCH to write about but not sure where to start so I’m gonna post more later… Hope all’s well with everyone – i’m off to see what you all have been up to! 🙂

MIA

By the way… In case anyone has been wondering – I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth but I haven’t had a whole lot of time to post here.. I won’t make any promises to improve that like I have in the past because, frankly, if I’m posting because I feel like I have to I’ll wind up posting useless drivel (though who knows – maybe I do that anyway)..

Things have been VERY busy for me lately. Work has gone from a normal pace to a feverish one and its makin me crazy.. Some fun stuff goin on but all of it is colliding at the same time which doesn’t lend itself to sanity. On top of that I’m trying to spend a LITTLE time with my boyfriend so he doesn’t kill me and do the other things that I have to like payin bills and stuff. The result is when I get a free second I’ve been finding myself sitting on the couch goign ‘buh buh buh buh buh’…

Anyway… Just figured I’d peek in quickly and say hi… Hope you’re all having a great weekend! 🙂

Well this is fun
