Holy Miss Foozie!

This past weekend was definitely one to remember. My man and I went to Chicago to visit my dad. We left my kid with his parents (they are absolute saints taking a 2 year old that isn't their biologically theirs) and we took off Friday afternoon and got there with very little traffic issues. He lives right off the Dan Ryan Expressway, which is a colossal highway of irritable Chicagoans and terrified tourists.
 
We went because he was moving this past weekend. He lived in Jeffereson Park and he moved to Albany Park. Which, if you are familiar with the Chicago area, know that the two areas are like 2 friggin miles apart. And he has a LOT of shit. As does my father's partner. (Hello! He's gay) They both had two entire households that they combined. And they have EXPENSIVE antiques and furniture that needed to be moved with care. So thank they high holy that they were smart enough to hire an actual antique moving company (to the tune of $2,000!!). But nothing was broke or damaged, and they both agreed it was worth the money.

Anyhow, all went smooth on moving day. My birthday was the 28th, and we had celebratory Korean alcohol. It was called Soju, and honest to God, it was like adult Kool-Aid. The kind where you keep drinking because you don't feel anything and then WHAM! You're drunk off your ass. Luckily, they had warned my man and I of this phenomenon and we knew not to take too many shots. It was fun. I never drink because I have a child. But damn, it tasted great!

And on Sunday, my man and I got to experience something that I don't think we'll ever forget. We got to go to the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade. OMG. I can now say, I have lived. It was so much fun. Everybody was happy and joyous, and everyone was a little drunk. Okay, a lot drunk. But I had the most fun. I got a little pissed, though. Some of these men dressed as women were prettier than me! With better legs! Not to mention that a very cute young man wanted MY man. He was a blast though. Absolutley, the nicest guy. We met a very drunk woman who was a nanny with her nipple pierced. She was awesome. Gotta admit, wish she showed us her boobs. She kept talking about how great they are! We got to meet EXcalibur, the headliner of Steamworks, and Miss Floozy was so perfect!We got free condoms, lots of beads, some bracelets, lube, bumper stickers, and a "Spank Someone you Love" spank stick. (Which my man keeps using, totally out of the blue, scaring the ever-lovin' crap out of me).

Honestly, it was really nice that my man and I actually had the same day off together. We haven't had that since March. It was nice spending time with him that didn't include a baby. It'll be several more months before we have that again.

It was a great weekend filled with fun memories. And Soju. And lube. Maybe next year I can ride with Miss Floozy....
