Time To Catch Up

Geez I get so busy that I forget I still have a blog and some of my uber fans and friends aren't on Facebook to get my minute by minute updates; so let's catch up a little shall we?

First the weekend of May 22nd was my big birthday and let me tell you it was big and faboo. We had about 30 people at Hamburger Mary's for dinner and a show. The dinner was to celebrate me and the show was by the fabulous Boofont Sisters. Vicky and Ruby Boofont are super talented kids and I love every show they do. They even brought me up to do a little dance to "The Tide Is High" a song they picked out and rehearsed just for me! Vicky mentioned before bringing me up on stage that I had run the biggest and best birthday campaign Facebook had ever seen. Love those girls.

We all headed out to Micky's afterwards with everyone grabbing my presents and hailing cabs. By the time one of the last cabs was coming by my pal Jules and I decided to just walk back to Micky's - she is after all a marathon walker having walked the LA Marathon, and I wanted to prove I could walk just as good as her :0) - Also, I had to duck around the corner to pee.

The next day was one of our big brunches and one of the biggest as a ton of folks decided to come and celebrate again for my birthday.

The following week was Memorial Day Weekend and we decided to spend a lot of time at the pool. Tommy and Ryan came up on Friday and we went out to Motherlode with my gaybor Mike and my pal Robbie (who is now dating gaybor). Then Saturday Ryan and I shared some cocktails and hung out at the pool all day. I got to meet a bunch of new neighbors.

On Sunday, we decided to have a big bbq but we don't actually own a grill and the ones in our pool area are owned by other people so we didn't really want to use them. Tommy made a ton of food including southern BBQ Ribs. I realized as I was sitting in the pool drinking mimosas and watching the Leivas walk by me doing laundry while Tommy cooked up a storm in the house that I am terribly spoiled.

The BBQ was fun beyond belief and so many people ended up showing up. Tommy and I were worried as so many of our friends were actually out of town, we thought we wouldn't have anyone there but as it turns out there's always pals to count on to celebrate.

Then Kristin and Alley took me to the Hollywood Bowl to see Flight Of The Conchords which was a hilarious show. However, you used to be able to bring booze and food into the Bowl and now you can only bring it into a show sponsored by the LA Philharmonic who owns the Bowl, all other shows are off limits so there were a ton of people drinking and eating outside the actual venue. We ended up buying one bottle of cheap champagne, French Bread, and a six pack of Heineken at the store inside the Bowl and it was $85.00! But the actual Hollywood Bowl is beautiful. I hadn't been there before and now I might be going back to see the sing along Grease!

Memorial Day Monday was spent the same way my Birthday Monday was spent - me and Ryan saying we were going to make mimosas and head to the pool. Well I did go to the pool before anyone else woke up but after that I was done. I didn't feel well after all the drinking I had done so I just laid in bed while Alf, Tommy & Ryan watched movies in the living room.

Finally, last weekend was spent the way the Leivas really likes it - just he and I and no one else. On Saturday he went grocery shopping and I stayed home to clean and do laundry. My plan was to go to the pool while I did laundry and just as I started doing laundry one of my neighbors, Wade came in to tell me he was going to the pool. So I ended up doing laundry, and sitting at the pool talking with neighbors.

When Leivas finally got home I was in the hot tub with about four of our neighbors and we were drinking and having a good time. He ended up bringing me out a few more drinks before we all called it quits.

On Sunday, I finished up the rest of the laundry (we hadn't done any in 2 weeks) and was going to go to the pool again but ended up staying in the house watching endless episodes of the British TV Series "Afterlife" with my husband. It was wonderful.

Now this weekend is Gay Pride so stay tuned for some more adventures in this Life In La La Land.
