Single and the City

I went to my first Singles mixer in Manhattan on Tuesday. It was all firemen!!! Very interesting...and actually plenty of cute guys. Lots of "meat heads" but good eye candy. And I have never had so many drinks bought for me...the guys must have drank free :-) There is another event in a few weeks - a roof top party this time. So, my search for the perfect man in NYC continues!!!!

There are the smiling girls! Why does Katie look so drunk? She really seemed like the most sober of the bunch. HaHa, pictures the next day are always so funny.

I went to upstate New York this past weekend with Melinda. Her parents have a house there. It was nice to get away from the city - out to the "country". I took Nobie up to hang out with her dog, we went to the lake, painted our toenails and went to the local small-town bar. Got hit on by some real losers that wouldn't get the clue. Free drink out of it though. Until next time...

How cute - like a drowned rat!

Mojitos in the East Village

Well, dating in NYC is always an interesting adventure...

So, we made plans on Wednesday night for Saturday. I left it up to him to plan the where and when. As of yesterday morning around noonish I realized that I hadn't heard from him. I kinda assumed that maybe it was off. Which is not unusual given men. No skin off my back, there is a new man on every corner. Heehee. ANYWAY

Five o'clock rolls around and then I get a text from him. Ok, so that is how dating in Manhattan goes I guess. I didn't have anything else to do so I figured what the hell. I took the subway into the city, the East Village to be specific. Very interesting part of the city, tons of bars and tons of people. He said to meet him at the Yuca Bar. I guess somehow I got confused and went to the Luca Bar. What are the odds that those would be within 2 blocks of each other? So, I finally found him and he is cuter than I remember :-) Always a bonus. Two mojitos later - and yes, they were strong - we were kissing at the bar. After one sangria I went home. We have plans to go to the Yankee game on Thursday night. I will keep you guys posted.

Trying Vegan

Well, for at least one month. That is what I have told myself. It has been about 3 days now and so far so good. I went to Trader Joes today to stock up on meatless "meat" products and vegan cheese. Soy milk in my coffee actually isnt bad, especially if you buy the vanilla kind. I even found a dairy free ice cream...yet to try it, but in this heat anything cold will likely taste great :-)

I have only turned on the AC a few times so far. It has been staying in the mid 80s most of the time and I am really missing the rain now. July and August are supposed to be the hottest months, I think and hope. At least it isn't 109 like Texas!

So, not too much else super exciting. I am sitting on my porch right now reading and working on my tan. The apartment complex looks like they are gearing up for another big cook-out. Maybe I will mingle later...

Lara's visit

Lara was here this weekend - sorta for work but she turned it into a girls weekend. Of course we went out - found this neat little bar in Manhattan that has a Texas theme! Rodeo bar - very hot bartender. And you can get PBR in a can. Sweet!!!!!

We had lunch in little Italy today and I ate way too much. Then we headed into Chinatown to buy knock off purses! Heehee. The weather has been super awesome. Earlier this week I spent the whole day in Central Park reading. I have yet to find me a New York man but will maybe start getting a bit more serious about that. Tons of boys and talking to a lot but just haven't found any to see more than once. Hahaha.

Did I mention how much I love living in the city???

Last weekend

So, Brooke finally made it here in one piece. Angela left Brooklyn not all in one piece, heehee. . That sucks. No fun. Who knew the human head could bleed so much????? But seriously, she was fine after a night in the ER. Koodos to my local hospital. Very efficient at whatever time it was when we finally got there...

She wouldn't let me take a picture of her face, but this is what is left of her pants on the walk home the next morning. Her knee was pretty jacked up!

It kinda looks like we were doing watered down shots of Pepto Bismol. Gross. What is really depressing is that the bartender there introduced me as a "regular" to their newest employee. Ugh! I don't even think they called me a regular at Bobby V's in Arlington.

We also went to the gay pride parade last weekend. Pretty fun, and tons of great people watching. Beer through a straw on the 5th Ave, good times.

I love hot gay men. At least they are pretty open about letting me see and sometimes touch their nice bodies. Yummy. Last night I am pretty sure I molested a guy in the bar's bathroom after drinking PBR all night. At least he was hot! I love tattoos. And I love Brooklyn.
