Been a while...

I haven't posted in quite some time... there has been nothing particularily interesting going on in my life to post about. *shrug*

I was in Philly until this last friday, and well... i am happy to now be back in atlanta. it's not that i don't love my family... it's just that i missed my home. Friday night, sleeping in my bed was kinda like sleeping in a hotel... it seemed soooo unfamilliar!

Saturday, I went to Mel's house for her 4th of july crab boil. it was so nice to see everyone. I made baked ziti, rice pudding, and regular / lemon whipped cream. all was a big hit!

This week i am workin from home... and VERY happy about it! it will give me a chance to get ready for my annual pride brunch. I am looking forward to it. The tentative menu is:

Sausage Egg and Cheese Bake (big hit from last year)
Cheese Blintzes with Cherry and Blueberry Topping (new item)
Baked Ham
Home Made Granola
Home Made Whipped Cream (van and lemon)
muffins
danish
bread for toast
fruit salad

Drinks:
Orange Juice
Grape Juice
Momosas
Bloody Marys
(skipping the coffee because no one drank any last year)

it should be nice

=============

what else is goin on...

oh yeah

my friend elliot asked me if i want to go on a gay cruise in Feb. It's a week long to the eastern carribean. it sounds interesting... but it's a whole week... and I get only 2 weeks of vacation a year... and to take 5 days of them and not spend any of them with my family will kinda make me feel guilty. not that i HAVE to spend every vacation with them... but i don't really get a chance to see them that much... so i feel bad...

plus... who knows if jamie is getting married next year... their son should be born in dec/jan... and if he is getting married next year... i have to ensure i set aside the appropriate vacation time.

*sigh*

oh well...
