"What do you mean it's 7am?!"

That's what I said to myself this morning after wrestling with the alarm clock since 6. My apologies to Baby G for my being one of those people.* We had a busy weekend, so it's really no wonder I had trouble getting up. We scored free tix to the Texas Wine & Food Festival Friday night and ate our weights of some really good gourmet and some kinda meh gourmet. I also sampled all the wine, vodka and rum that I could. I had some very bizarre dreams that night, as you can probably imagine. Best sample? Definitely the Dallas Fish Market's Hawaiian Escarole Sashimi with lemon glaze and capers. Holy gods that was heaven in my mouth! And the chef was a very nice guy, too!

Baby G and I also biked a lot. We probably rode about 8 miles total over two days. I take that back, I did about 8 miles, Baby G did more, as she went out a 2nd time yesterday evening. I was still sore from Saturday's ride.

I'm currently listening to "The Weekend (Extended Vocal Mix)" by Michael Gray. It's some of the gayest music I've ever heard, but I can't stop shakin' my booty. Funny side story: I knew a guy in college named Michael Gray. He was an adorable gay man who wouldn't acknowledge he was in fact gay. I hope he's out and proud now.

*Yes, I'm one of those assholes who sets my alarm to ring an hour ahead of time, so I have time to "wake up" before I actually have to get up. It doesn't work yet I still do it, hence my status as "asshole."

I don't mind the snoozing thing b/c I'm one of those people, too. In fact, I'm even lazier than one of those people, b/c I'm having you push the snooze alarm for me.

Sashimi from the Dallas Fish Market was quite tasty. I also enjoyed the yellow tomato gazpacho with a bunch of other stuff I can't remember that made it very nice (avocado creme fresh, a piece of crawfish, and some red pepper?), from a place I can't remember. Anyway, it was very yummy.

It's good to be back on the bike again! Particularly on pretty days like we had this weekend.

Tom is one of those people too, which has caused me to not hear the alarm the first time, because subconsciously I know that I will hear the alarm about 5 more times before he actually gets out of bed, which is normally around when I do too. Imagine my shock when he got out of bed at the first alarm this morning!
