Weekend events

The rest of the weekend went by in a blur. Not that it was particularily busy, but there was a lot of sunshine. After staying up waaaaay too late on Friday, Saturday was a slow start.

But here's the weekend events, (in no particular order) ... Did some housecleaning, went for a workout in the park with some derby ladies (known as Torture), ate a giant burger at Harveys (not as big as this one tho), went for a rollerskate, went to see the movie Inception (totally lived up to expectations), babysat my nieces and nephew for 4.5 hours, went for another skate, mowed the lawn, almost got in a fight with a hobo (true story), sat on my deck with a bottle of wine, watched a baaaaaad movie until 3 am, made pasta and shrimp with pesto sauce, played some Tetris with Bob. Overall, pretty quiet, but pretty good weekend.



This is what I wore. Denim skirt and blue top. The last time I wore this jean skirt (day 13) I wore the same top, only in yellow. And altho I did wear a giant flower in my hair this time, its clear I need to mix things up a bit.











I also wore this black sundress which I just purchased a couple of weeks ago from Winners. Its kinda like wearing a black tank top with a scarf as a skirt and it feels like Im not wearing anything. Easy breezy beautiful. Of course giant sunglasses are a must. Despite the haters, I will not be giving up oversized sunnies for anyone. Oh, and I did put on shoes at some point this weekend.

Gay Dancing

Friday night. Gay dancing night. For years, this was my routine.... but then all my gays moved away and I haven't been dancing in a long time. So when my friend Buffy asked me to go to Buddys (gayest name ever, but a great bar) on Friday night, I jumped at the chance.

Buffy's text to me was to wear something hilarious and/or awesome. (Buffy herself was wearing a retro 60's mod dress with her hot pink Coach sneakers) So, I figured it was about time to put on this sparkly shimmery dress I bought 3 weeks ago and haven't had the opportunity to wear yet. (It should be noted that the place I bought it from, 360• has since shut its doors, so sad.) I don't have a lot of occasion to wear a sequined mini, but dancing seemed appropriate....Its striped with black, silver and blue sequins and its ridiculously short. (booty shorts a must underneath, otherwise risking major Britney). When I hit the dance floor, I was a blur of sparkly light gyrating to GaGa....did I really dance in a cage??? It was a gay ol' time indeed.

Casual Fridays


I used to get excited about casual Fridays, cuz it meant that I could wear jeans and everything seemed ok in the world as the grumpy "suits"would cheer up in their denim and khaki. Now that I dont work on Fridays, I rarely wear pants at all.

This Friday morning I was woken up at 9:30am to a thundercrack so damn loud that it scared the bejesus outta me. It was raining so hard that I immediately rolled over and went back to sleep. When I woke up again around noon (love, love, love rainy morning sleep-ins) the rain was still coming down and it seemed even worse. I almost bailed out on meeting the girls for lunch, but Halen convinced me to get my lazy ass outta bed for Chinese food.


And then I did something that I haven't done in 7 weeks (since we started this whole dress thang)...... I put on jeans. It was weird. They felt tight and reminded me that I probably didn't need to be eating Chinese food. But they were my Rock&Republic jeans and they're sparkly, so it was okay.
