travelin' (wo)man


Well, I am finally home after my travels. I had a great time in NYC with Lesley, Laura, Sal, Enrique, and other friends. It was nice to spend a good chunk of time there, not rushed. It was hot as hell, but the evening times were best, once the sun went down behind the tall buildings. Laura left for Rio after three days, so Lesley and Sal were left to entertain me for the rest of the time, when they weren't working. Lesley and I spent lots of quality time in cheap clothing stores and eating yummy food. We tried to see CSS in Brooklyn, but once we made it two blocks in a long line, we were turned away because they were sold out. Then, while walking back to the subway, we were caught in a CRAZY downpour and were soaked to the bone. But we found a cool little pub and ducked in to dry off and enjoy some drinks (ginger ale for me!).

After NYC, I had a horrible day at LaGuardia trying to get to Indiana. I got there by 3am, only to find myself in a pubic hair-infested motel room. But Damon arrived at 7am and Tom and Jacqui picked us up around 10:30am. We had a very relaxing time in Bloomington, but I must say, they were less than enthused by our news. It was somewhat disappointing and I spent the weekend trying not to talk too much about being knocked up. It was nice to be back in Bloomington, but it made me realize, I am really happy in SF with Damon. I hope we are able to stay here for a while. I felt out of place there for some reason. I thought I would be incredibly nostalgic for B-ton, but once there, I realize the one thing I miss is the time Damon and I had together. That and Chocolate Moose and yellow curry from Little Tibet.
