feliz cumpleanos
i had a really amazing weekend. it was my birthday weekend, and after a very very long week at camp i really needed a break.
friday night i fell asleep at around eight o'clock because i was so tired from waking up at six am for five mornings in a row. it was such a good night of sleep though. just me, two sleeping pills, and the house to myself.
saturday i woke up, took my time, and headed up to baltimore. j took me out to a delicious brunch at this cheap/beautiful (a rare combo) restaurant that we have never been to. he gave me this gorgeous necklace that i have been wearing nonstop since i got it.
in the afternoon we went to pride and drank forties and hung out with beautiful people on the cordoned off streets of baltimore. pride always puts me in the most amazing mood, just being around all those queer people gets me high on life and reinstates my faith in humanity, to a certain extent.
once the sun went down we headed back to j's house and we got cleaned and sobered up. i put on my dress and he put on his dress shirt and we headed back to mount vernon. j bought me drinks all night and we danced the night away.
yesterday was my official birthday, and once i dragged my hungover ass out of bed and got back to my parents' house i got myself mediocre looking and went out to my birthday lunch with my family. we went to an italian restaurant and did the whole family thing, and everyone was so cute about the fact that i was "grown up". it's so weird how everyone associates the ability to purchase alcohol with being an adult. strange.
after i came back i went out with j, my sister, and martita - who i hadn't seen in a long time. i missed her a lot, and i plan on spending many more crazy nights with her this summer.
as excited i am for the fall, i am getting more and more content with this summer. i really didn't think i would like work as much as i do, and i'm getting closer with the kids and the staff and it's becoming more like a little family. i love it.
there are a million photos of my birthday extravaganza on facebook, so if you would like to see pictorial evidence head over there. and if you are reading this and we aren't facebook friends, that needs to change. but, i guess that is making the giant assumption that anyone reads this.
