weekend lovely

So this weekend was the first time I slept at my new apartment at Greenheart and oh boy!! The first night was fantastic!! We professed our love for each other for the first time for reals...a night of firsts on Saturday the 11th of July, 2009, let me say that outright. We said it at the park of our first date. Nice night for it.

What a fantastic life I've found myself leading!!

Last night we had a candlelit late-night dinner with that young man. The whole scene reminded me of last-night dinners my parents and I would have way back pre-90s, by candle light, in our friggin' trailer. My pioneering past includes a trailer, better-known to me and my folks as "the silver bullet". My first real childhood home is something which if I named it out loud and proper these days, most of my friends would say, "oh, that was like my first vibrator." Or something else just as vibratory.

Yesterday gf and I went out in the afternoon and acted like cats, checked out all the back lanes and every garbage can we came across, went home and ate ice cream. Then curled up together in the early evening sun. Cat Day!!

The back alley shenanigans resulted in a find of some sweet-ass old bottles, two of which are "Jamaican Dry" ginger ale bottles - I remember that shit being so hot, burned the lips right down to the guts and beyond. Also picked up a SWEET "Old Vienna" stubby bottle - really cool, like new, but it has to be thirty or more years old. I might have to give it to my dad. I forget if he collects the stubbies.

Hehe, she said stubby.

Also found another kitchen table, this one for the gf. It needs some repair but it's quite a nice retro 50s style. It was about three blocks away from the new homestead, but I hoisted it over my head and walked up Sherbrook, storm trooper-style. Needed some breaks of course - I'm not as tough as I wish I could be.

Some other things I'm excited about:

- using the wooden bowls I've obtained from the antique store across the street from work
- using the cheese knives I've obtained from the same store - the standard three blades + funny fork. The twist is that they have a groovy hanger thingie. so cute!!
- more candle-lit dinners in my new home
- the way my new building 'sings'. The plumbing is still priming - right now, I hope that singing continues forever and ever. I'm sure I will regret this once reality sets in.
- burrito-making parties with certain queers who are interested in taking care of themselves. For the purposes of burrito-making parties, I MUST get a kitchen island built for myself, obtain a kick-ass couch/seating arrangement, and a wonderful sound system for muuuuuuusic.

Cat Day ended with another, more unexpected profession of love, which was quickly rescinded. Oh life. : )
