Quiet Week

I've not been having anything to blog lately. Just had another quiet week. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I did go out to breakfast with Mike yesterday. Sometimes we just need time alone. We had a fun time as usual. We got to cruise some hot guys. Funny how club people go to Jim's after a hard night of clubbing.

At least I think these are club people. Who else is gonna be with a hot stud for breakfast? I ain't dumb. It makes for a good story.

Today Victoria had a Fiesta party. I baked some cookies that were devoured greedily. I went over for an hour or so. I just felt so out of place. I just ate and ran.

Nothing else.

Easter

Are you sitting down? I went to Easter service with Mike and Tony. Hard to believe the church didn't burn down and there was no lightening. It was overcast though.

We went to Metropolitan Community Church. That's a gay church. Everyone was very friendly and shook my hand and made me feel welcome.

The service was different than the Catholic services I'm used to. They did do communion which I did not participate in. There was a lot of singing and hand waving. It was interesting.

The best part of it was that we went to lunch afterward. Hey, if I don't have to cook, it's great. We went to EZ's and had burgers and pizza. The plus is they serve Pepsi, you know me and Pepsi. It just tastes a whole lot better than other colas.

Leticia

Went to lunch with Leticia Thursday. We haven't seen each other in two years. She used to work downtown so we were able to see each other frequently. But her work relocated to the Pearl Brewery and we kind of lost track of each other.

We went to pick up her fiancé. Just found out she's getting married. Friday of all days. Mike is a good guy. They seem well suited for each other. I'm glad for her. We had a great lunch at Luther's. We visited and laughed.

She was getting married Friday and I forgot all about it. Some friend I turned out to be. I had hoped to be the flower girl. LOL. I could just see me drizzling petals down the aisle! Good for her.

I Hate VIA!!!

For those that don't know, VIA is the transit system here in San Antonio. The nuns used to say not to use the word hate because it is too strong. Well, I abhor, detest, and loathe VIA.

They recently introduced an electronic bus fare program. You swipe the card and it's good for 31 days. Sounds easy. One would think.

People swipe and swipe and the thing says 'Card not Valid.' No matter how many times we swipe we get that obnoxious announcement. It slows down everybody. We that are on the bus already are frustrated at this. The people getting on get frustrated. We look forward to the ding that allows us to get on board.

The other way to get on is to insert the card the first time you use it and it's good for the 31 days. When we swipe and it doesn't go through, we can insert the card and it will let us on. Most often than not, the bus driver gets frustrated also and snatches the card from us and inserts it.

Also, for paying riders, they have to pay and this slows the bus down also. It sometimes takes a few tries for it to accept dollar bills and the person and the bus driver both get frustrated.

When one gets on with a half-off ID, one shows the ID and swipes the bus pass. Again, one gets that obnoxious message, 'Card Not Valid.' When it finally registers, we get the message to 'Please Show ID.' Again, frustrating.

They need to figure out a better way to do this. In the old days I just showed my bus pass and got on. Now I have to swipe and show my ID. When we go shopping, we have to balance our shopping to get on board.

Family Luncheon

Debra's birthday was Thursday. Of course I called her up to wish her a fabulous birthday. I also invited everyone out for lunch in her honor.

Debra and Larry, Barbara, Jerry, Matthew, and Lauren went. My immediate family. I also invited Oscar, Larry's father. We had a great time. We went for Chinese buffet. I had some Chinese food, but they also had some pot roast and I went for it. The smashed taters were good and I also tried the ribs and they were succulent not the usual tough ribs.

I also had some tres leches cake that was out of this world. Usually the desserts at the buffets are tasteless and frozen but this was not. A girl can tell.

We took some photos as well and I can't believe how ugly I look. I had no idea. Honey, I'm not gonna be in a relationship any time soon.

I usually detox after a relationship. Usually it's a five year stretch with no action. This time around I'm going on ten years. I don't think I remember how to get things started again. Mike says it's like riding a bike, thing is I never learned to ride one.

Oh well, I've come this far. I don't need anyone anyway. I have Jean-Luc and my family. I did forget to include Mike. He's like a brother I never had. Okay I have a brother, but he's not much of a brother. He's never talked to me. His loss.

Ladies Who Lunch

Went to lunch with Mike and Tony. We went to a semi-usual hangout, Luther's. It's a nice family restaurant in the gay neighborhood. We had our usual ditzy waiter Javier who always makes us feel welcome.

I had the brisket sandwich and it was scrumptious. There was a lot of brisket and Tony made the comment that that was a lot of meat for that bun. I forgot what they had because I'm still savoring my meal.

We also had dessert. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not much of a dessert person. Okay, I bake, but I prefer to share the goodies. I had something called Heavenly Chocolate and it was!
Chocolate cake with chocolate liquor and two scoops of Bluebell ice cream. It was orgasmic and I highly recommend this.

It's always nice to go out with the boys. I can feel the love at the table. And I am truly blessed to have them in my life. Here's to many more fun times.

Quiet Week

Nothing much going on this week. I have been having tummy trouble and am munching on Tums and Maalox. I've mostly stayed home this week.

Mike and I went to breakfast today. There were some cute guys sitting across from us and he got the full view. I did an Exorcist turn and saw the guy Mike pointed out. He was a hottie with a fabulous schnozz. There was also one that looked like Dan Radcliffe. Mike said he thought of them having a three-way. I'd love to see that.

Then we went to the store. Mike is a sweetie as ya'll know. He lives in the Medical Center and comes all the way downtown to take me shopping. I think he worries a bit about me. Had an uneventful time at the store. No hot guys. Too bad.

How I Met Your Mother

OMG! The series ended. And it was a shocker. After years of telling the story of how Ted met the mother of his kids, they finally meet and live happily ever after...for a while.

Tracy dies! After all that. They had the perfect relationship. And then they kill her off! The kids tell Ted that he should date Robin and the show ends with him going to her apartment.

All in all, I was pleased with the outcome. It is sad to see them go, but it had to end. Now I have nothing to watch on Monday nights.
