Leaving my heart in you-know-where

I bet you’re dying to hear about my weekend! Well, you can let go of the edge of your seat. This weekend I:

+ Avoided the internet except for a short visit during which I realized (thanks Jill!) that one of the “lolcats”-esque pictures I made of Hugo got posted to ICHC, and caused quite a ruckus. In fact, it was in the top ten posts on WordPress that day. Go Hugo!

+ Picked strawberries at a farm in Pescadero, and decided that the future home of Cheyley Farms is Half Moon Bay or somewhere thereabouts.

+ Napped on the beach

+ Found out that my parents, who were self-employed when I was a kid and didn’t always do so well and had to rent until ten years ago, are buying a second house this week. In Asheville, NC, which is awesome in that it’s beautiful and not Florida. But they’re keeping their FL house until next year and renting out the NC house. To top it all off, they’re borrowing money from me to buy it. Whose life is this?

+ Attended the last two innings of the A’s playing the Giants at AT&T Park for ten bucks, where we sat amongst a group of men from a Veterans’ home in Napa. We chatted with Leo, an adorable WWII vet with some missing teeth, and I got hit on by an old man with the largest, blingblingyest diamond ring I ever did see.

+ Went to the Haight Street Fair, which really speaks for itself. It was amazing.

+ Ate: Thai food, an Indian feast, Sunny Side Cafe brunch, garlic fries, berries, a vegan raw burrito, and other yummy things. Thanks, bay area.

+ Lusted after dogs, especially one named Cornbread.

+ Got my cuddle on with somebody pretty amazing.

+ And got cat-called/harrassed for being queer for the first time in my life. In the bay area, of all places.

And tonight I’m going to see the Indigo Girls and Brandi Carlile at the Fillmore.

I’m so not ready to leave in five days.
