Weekend in MD

I got back on Sunday from a weekend spent with Davey in Frederick, MD. I had a fun and relaxing weekend. I arrived around 10:40am at Baltimore's Penn Station. However, David didn't leave his house until after I arrived. He arrived around 11:35am and we drove back to his apt. He lives in a nice three level complex, Sunset Apartments. He told me his rent is $960. Rent is cheap in MD! We quickly changed for the pool and I paid 5 dollars for the pool access. He bought some Sam Adams' summer ale and some chips (no salsa or guacamole). He said he would make guacamole later.

Anyways we spent a couple of hours in the pool and sunbathing. It was relaxing and hot.

Then we took a nap together on the couch, abt 90 minutes long, I was only asleep for the last half hour and he woke me up because his arm had fallen asleep. Then we took a shower separately and got ready to go out. We went to the Tasting Room in Frederick, MD and had crab dip and I had the Beachy Lychee and he had a glass of red wine, merlot... Then we went to Safeway to buy the ingredients for a French hamburger and roasted squash.

He made me guacamole and we talked for a while because we weren't hungry. then around 10:15pm he cooked me a French hamburger and roasted squash plus some store-bought potato salad. It was by two candlelights so it was nice and romantic. Then we went to sleep. Nice day and evening.

Then the next morning, we woke up too late to make French toast but he did make me some coffee. It was good. Then he drove me to Penn Station in Baltimore and I got on the 12:15pm bolt bus to Manhattan. Got into 33rd and 8th Ave at 4:43pm.

He told me to pick a weekend for him to come up to NYC and he'll see if he can make it. So I have to figure out which weekend is good. I don't really wanna spend 2-3 days with him over July 4th weekend and then his birthday is Jul 9 so not sure if he'll want to come to NYC on his birthday weekend so it might be another 4 weeks til I see him again.

But I did write him an email on Monday telling him I had a fun time and he said he enjoyed having me there so all is well. I am happy.

He said best case scenario he'll move to NYC in three months but it could take up to 6 months, so we'll see how this dating goes til then.

in a relationship

I'm in a relationship! Just wanted to update it here. I confirmed it today with the guy David or Davey *haha* when I typically freaked out abt it. Haha. We may go away in September to Mexico!

Pasta with Tomato-Blue Cheese Sauce

Sloppy Joe's

I made sloppy joes from PW's site. Too lazy to take a pic. Have to go to the gym tomorrow and run a mile or two. Might not be able to do the Brooklyn Half-Marathon, that's in 4 weeks!

How hard is it to maintain a blog where you write in it on a daily basis but keep it remote from your personal life. I follow this one blog that will go nameless that is written on a daily basis but not really personal at all.

I don't think I can maintain a daily blog. The last time I wrote abt Cristiano Ronaldo. That was over a month ago.

And I stopped cooking regularly a few months ago.

wah!

I have to rant about this.

Cristiano Ronaldo has transferred to Real Madrid last summer and his new team sucks. He scores like a goal a game, but that's not enough for them to win games. Meanwhile Manchester United is on top of the English Premier League and still in the Champions League. Why did he have to transfer? It's so hard to root for a sucky team.
