lighten up!
well that last post was SO HEAVY...sorry about that. i'll try to keep things a bit more up-tempo this time.
this weekend was action packed and very fun! saturday tony and i took his mom out for breakfast and then to the outlet mall at aurora farms, south of here. we shopped and shopped and shopped. she got some shoes and i got a mini whisk and some socks. despite his warnings, i found his mom to be completely charming. she has a lively sense of humor and is a great conversationalist. this made the time pass quickly. we even got to go to marc's on the way home...woo-hoo! tony loves that store and it seems to run in the family.
then that night we went on the GIFT cruise on the goodtime III. every year there is a gay bowling tournament weekend here in cleveland and one of the activities is a pleasure cruise (the proverbial three hour tour) on the cuyahoga river and the shoreline of lake erie. basically, it's a floating cocktail party. every one comes out for this event....hundreds of queers commandeer all four decks of this ship and we sail around town. once again, it was amazing to me to see how many of these people my man knows. i guess he was born and raised here, but still.... we had beautiful weather and it was very romantic, sailing along the skyline at sunset with my honey. as a bonus, when we were driving away, we saw patrick of the travelling spotlight. even though we didn't meet, it was cool to see a fellow blogger there!
sunday we got to go out to chagrin falls. my niece was co-hosting her high school graduation party and invited the two of us. it was a great way to get to introduce him to everyone on neutral ground.. they were all really nice and friendly, so it felt good. even my brother-in-law came and spoke with us! it was kinda cool, as we sat at a table for two and "held court," and the other guests each came to us and talked in turn. plus a table of 16-year-olds was right behind us and i think it was good for them to see us there together. the food was good, my niece loved her gift and the music was a blast--they had a polka band made up of local highschoolers! so now we have met one another's families, so that seems a relief. no one was rude or unpleasant, so i have high hopes about our future interactions with them. keep your fingers crossed.
