I am too young for this kind of thing.

gfrancieHoly fuck, I have had too much stress today, I am going to spend the rest of the day drinking wine.
Andrew and I went to the town I grew up in, so he could finally see it (people have been wondering why I have been avoiding this, and they will soon find out) and to see my sister in a parade. She is a princess and a damn cool one at that. Despite remarks from Uncle Chris's boyfriend of the weekend about 'showing some tit' that part of it went fairly smoothly.
It seems the entire damn town is rather curious about the fact that Miss Gennie has a boyfriend in the flesh. Gennie being seen with a boyfriend is like a sighting of the tazmanian tiger. Experts think they are extinct and there have been glimpses of them over the decades.
There is a reason why I have never introduced anyone to a boyfriend of mine.
People kept coming up, smiling and saying, "Gennie, how are you...and is this him?"
"Gennie....Who is this?" I would politely introduce people to Andrew, and eventually get them to leave.
A high...or low point (if you happen to be me) was my Godmother asking him how he would handle raising a child catholic, if he wasn't catholic and what would he do when the kid didn't want to go to mass.
It was about then I had a nervous breakdown. I started laughing uncontrollably, and hyperventilating and saying over and over, "oh my god, oh my god, oh my god"
That man must really love me, or be completely insane, because he is still with me after that...moment.
After that, everything seemed fairly simple.
Even when one group of people who I know who had an entry in the parade, stopped, brought out a large sign that said, "WELCOME ANDREW!"
Yeah...that is the kind of crazy I dealt with today.
Afterwards we escaped my entire family and we had the best hot dogs in the world (Dogs-a-Foot) has THE BEST HOTDOGS in the world. There are even hotdogs for the vegetarian/vegan crowd that are pretty damn incredible.
Cheap, tasty, and quick (like my first husband hahahahaha..ha..ha...hrm)
Then we had THE BEST ICE CREAM in the world, at Elevated Ice Cream. I introduced him to the lovely world of lemon custard ice cream, Pineapple-raspberry italian ice, and candy, lots of candy.
We ran off into the east....
When I was in the bathroom on the ferry I noticed I had acquired a sun burn and my arms developed a rash from the sun. Oy Vey.
More wine, Gennie needs MORE wine...and a nap.
Yeah, so...I survived kinda.
Oh yeah...Anyone want a copy of Microsoft Office: Mac v.x ?
*has some water*

I think they sometimes will make special orders. I am sure it would have to be a significant amount of ice cream, but I know you would enjoy it. (http://www.elevatedicecream.com/)

Date: 2003-05-18 10:45 am (UTC)some insane ravings, in other words, same kind of stuff I always say.
When at Disneyland, I was smart... I bought a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic 45+ Sunblock at Vons on the way down and used it every day on all my exposed skin and came away from the 6-day trip with no sunburn at all save for the tiny strip I missed one day, which was minor and gone in 24hrs. It was great for another (unexpected) reason, too... The coconut scent drove Erica wild!
Anyway, the moral is that since I'm über-white and burn so easily, then I give that stuff my stamp of approval. Yep. Anyway, enough with my insane ravings!!
> Office: Mac v.x
I do!!! I'm getting my first non-obsolete Mac this summer! Seriously, I've owned like 17, but only after each was too old to really be my "main computer."

Date: 2003-05-18 10:46 am (UTC)I am pleased to hear you are getting a new mac.
I am not sure who the office mac v.x is going to yet. I Think someone claimed it first.
damn them.

Do I? I think it is general laziness in the winter. I do cook things, I just don't write about them as much.
I think it is because there are more fresh things available in the summer.
