Old news

I know the weekend was 3 days ago, but we did so much fun stuff, i just have to go back and tell you all about it.

Friday, after we went to our new-favorite Japanese restaurant, we went to see our friends Debbie and Paula who were visiting from their new hometown, Seattle. They were planning to meet us at Club Diversity downtown because there was a Gay Swim Team fundraiser there and it would be fun for everyone to go and see one another. After we ate, we made the near-fatal error of going home and watching a movie. Shockingly, we got off the couch and went out to this place.

Club D was SO WEIRD. It is basically a big house which has been turned into a bar, but it was packed full of drunk gay men. I saw at least 4 drinks spilled during the 10 minutes we stayed there. And this was at 10:30. We discovered that Debbie and Paula had gone to a place called Somewhere Else (ooh, clever, right?) down the street so we went there. Also weird, but in a different way. I was happy to see lots of people I hadn't seen in a long time, plus the Two Blondes (Melanie & Betsy) and their friends Nikki and Betsy, who both work in the medical field.

Saturday we went to Indiana for Johnny's dad's birthday and on the way back we went to Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati. This place is CrAzY, it is like an amusement park of grocery stores. Really. They have oversize fiberglass animals out front and a shuttle from the parking lot to the store. We got back just in time to go to Hospital Couple's house for dinner and games. We ate delicious curry, drank wine and champagne and played Cranium. Our team won, in case you wondered.

Sunday I raked up some of the leaves and trimmed back a good number of the shrubs in the yard. It looks like a deserted playground without all the greenery. Yesterday I noticed a rose on the rosebush. I am considering cutting it because it is supposed to freeze tonight. If I do, i will try to post a photo of it, because it is really beautiful.

After that, we went to surprise our friend Julie for her birthday, which was a true surprise because her birthday was two months ago. A group of us met upthere and went to see Shopgirl. I liked it.
