last night (e:lauren) and I purchased two train tickets to Florida.

This is an extremely big deal for us because A) I've never been on a plane, B) I freak out when making big purchases and C) (e:lauren) gets nervous on flights.

ok flor ida? I'm meeting my friends there. It would not have been my choice to be honest with you, but oh well. But seriously - what this actually means is that my flight leaves in 7 weeks and 2 days and there needs to be some sort of preparation.. yup you heard it right, 'preparation'.

this involves not eating after 9.
no more sweets.
no more eating out.
no more 3 hours of tv a night.
water water water!
EXERCISE!
No more relying on carbs as my major form of food.
Veggies Veggies Veggies!

Its going to be just dandy I tell you. Dandy. Also I am going to create the possibility of not being miserable.


On a side note... my friend Steven from NP asked me to post a photo on here of him in a lime green thong with a puddy tat on it. But i seem to have lost the photo. ah well...


Another side note: I have somethin weird going on with my eye. my right eye feels itchy. it looks like there is a bump on the inside of thelid and its red and gross lookin...

Photodump from my poor quality camera phone from our lovely trip!
This was our room that we got to stay at for free on night one and three...

Its the pretty in pink room...

This was kind of a family reunion of sorts... here is Erin from NYC, Alexis from Philly and (e:lauren) from Buffalo.


This is the attempt at creating a cheerleading pyramid. I don't know why.



Here we have my good friend Wazina, becoming Snakelady.


and her partner Jess, caught mid chowdown...


On Sunday we woke up in Tillson to find out that all roads that led back to New Paltz were completely flooded.

which resulted in us having to drive about 20 miles north to kingston and then 30 miles down the thruway to New Paltz. Yeah we were only about 10 miles out of town. flooding is one thing i don't miss about new paltz.

More to follow.

A brief but fabulous post from the land of Die Pfalz! Or as the locals like to call it.... New Paltz!

We are staying at the most luxurioius bed and breakfast in town - the Lefevre House Bed and Breakfast!

We are staying in the Pretty in Pink room. Figures, eh? we are sooooo gay.

Well my friend, Jessica, is the manager. So as a thank you to her I have been doing the dishes this morning from the 3 course gourmet breakfast while she is doing a wedding consultation for a lesbian couple that is planning their commitment ceremony. Yes, the Lefevre House Bed and BReakfast does weddings. And Wedding consultations! In fact, remember all them big homo weddings that were in the news a few years ago? The ones in New Paltz? Well after the mayor's initial set of ceremonies, the rest of them all came right here to the B&B. What a dandy little piece of homo history, huh?

It has been raining here... since the moment we arrived actually. In fact, we will probably will not be able to head up to the mountains as planned today, because the flood plain that you have to cross before getting to the mountains will probably be inundated. oh well.

allright i'm off to finish the dishes and go wake up (e:lauren). Hope all is swell and dandy!

OH and (e:drew) - in case you were wondering we realized that the cats would be fine with several bowls of food left out for them. No worries for you! thanks you much tho!!!

peace love and hippyness
