The Monday After Teh Weekend

[cabenson]

Mrs. CB and I managed to make it to the outdoor concert Friday night despite the melting hot 90+ temps. We picked up some friends that live down the road and borrowed a parking pass from Mrs. CB's ex. I have not seen so many lesbians in such a small area. You could literally put your hand out and a boob would walk into it. Yep, we tried. That is my friend and I. Which is why we aren't allowed to hang together as much. I also searched the crowd for a new short hairstyle. The long curls have to go. Now!

We got a sneak peak at "Betty"-they sang a song a capella...it was great. And the one chick has a huge rack :) The Katie Reider Band played, but they were just too loud for the setting. We were in a parking lot surrounded by brick buildings...not the best acoustics. Melissa Ferrick played last and she was also very good, but we decided we were too old for Teh Loud and headed out. And although we had a parking permit displayed, Mrs CB STILL got a ticket. She is getting a letter and a copy of the permit from the ex and fighting the ticket. Bastiges!

I did not go to the parade as it was too melty out, so I stayed home and rested like a good recuperating patient should. And watched a ton of TV (Mrs. CB was up north with her family). We had a huge storm that knocked out the power but at least it rained. We were on day 13 with no rain and our beautiful yard is now straw.

I went to the Y today and swam 10 LAPS!! I am so fucking tired I can barely keep my eyes open. And I'm sore which is good, because it means I am moving the right parts.

We went to the grocery and I bought 2 pints of Ben and Jerry's...I figure if I have a healthy breakfast and lunch, I can eat ice cream for dinner.

I am done with you for now. Go about your business.

who-hoo!
you are tearin' it up CB!
and just think, if you do cut your curls, you won't have to wear a bathing cap :)

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

I don't wear one anyway :( I never wore them when I swam competitavely either.

[maroukian.livejournal.com]

um. I didnt think you wore one actually
all my puns are crashing and burning today

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

It ain't you...I am on allergy overload so my thinker ain't on full blast.

[sing1118.livejournal.com]

I wear one becaus on a college team, people take uniforms seriously, and my hair is too short to pull back, but long enough to get in my face.

[maroukian.livejournal.com]

Wow! You're a NCAA(/NAIA) swimmer?
a true athlete: cool. good for you!

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Sorry...I wish I was. I swam in a summer swim team in my early teens. Then we moved and I stopped competing.It was something to keep me out of trouble during those months off school.

[maroukian.livejournal.com]

not you CB...sing118
but I thought of you on Sunday,
I did 7 lengths of the pool and was like
"where's that floating chaise lounge, enough of this exertion nonsense!"

[sing1118.livejournal.com]

Heh. Well, it's Division III. The Atlantic Women's College Conference- I go to a small all-girls' school. So my team is small, the other teams are small, and I'm really not very good. I'm on the team for excercise and to meet people outside the music department- most of my non-swimming friends are music majors or minors, or in multiple choirs.

Mmmm Ben....Oooo Jerry...
My two favorite guys, after Jack and Dom. :)

I swear, I'm not an alcoholic. I'm just...yeah.
Sore is always good, CB. It means you're working your butt off. At least, that's what my physical therapist used to tell me at the end of my sessions.

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

See, my guys are Jack, Jim and Jose.

[wingsfan.livejournal.com]

It used to be Jack, Johnnie, Jose, Captain Morgan and Dom but I'm slowly making the list shorter.
Jack and Dom. Sounds like cheesy porn movie. LOL

HA! i love it!

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Of course we did that when our better halves went to get drinks...

[bast2.livejournal.com]

the concert sounds like fun. wish i'd been there for a little boobie catching.

glad to see you're getting stronger every day.

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Oh man, boobie catching =Happy CB.

I am feeling so much better, but I have to learn limitations.

[bluepoet.livejournal.com]

Ice cream and boobs! That's my kind of weekend!

I've seen Katie Reider solo, and she's great that way. :)

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

I loved it when a few of the performers played acoustic guitar. Not so loud and hardly any echo. /old bitchy gimp

But the boobies were quite nice!

[aqua-blurr.livejournal.com]

Man, I hope Betty gets ASS-loads of work like this from their L Word stint (so that we can occasionally hear something else on the show next season). But even I have to admit they can sound very good. We got Debby Holiday--the chick whose music is on QAF. Showtime is cornering the queer market.

It sounds like a great time, CB. I'm so glad you could enjoy it! And hurray for cutting your hair. I'm all for it (now). But be sure you don't get the Dick Van Dyke 'do. ;)

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

I thought of you this weekend, blurr...Teh Wife got her hair cut and I've been rather in shock about it. (It does look nice...I'll get over it, but I think your beloved & I need a support group. Or maybe just me....)

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Help me! Mrs. CB is soooo not digging my plans for a short do.

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

No way! Mrs. CB is joining our support group. She can bring the ice cream.

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

Mrs CB will not be bringing the ice cream. I showed her a pic of Season 3 Benson and got all the approval I need. Just add some glasses and you get a future pic of me:

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh. One hopes you do not look as cross-eyed, though.

[aqua-blurr.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry. Yeah, my beloved gave me her "strong" face, told me how good it looked, touched my now bare neck tenderly and didn't make eye contact for a bit. I'm sure she'll be happy to bring the donuts--or the liquor--to the meetings.

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

Hahaha...yeah, I did the bright, neutral smile thing that my mom always did when I wore something she hated, and chirped, "It's nice!"

Her: IT'S MY HAIR, YOU KNOW.

Me: It's nice!

Her: YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT.

Me: It's nice!

Someday it'll kick in. In the meanwhile, I'll meet your beloved in the church basement for the first meeting. I'll bring the donuts.

Betty kinda rocked my socks. I was really surprised cause of all the bitching I have heard about the new theme to The L-Word.

Cabpedo!

[theholyinnocent.livejournal.com]

I went to the Y today and swam 10 LAPS!!

W00t! You are the Thorpedo of Columbus, baby!

Re: Cabpedo!

[cabenson.livejournal.com]

I am really digging this swimming thing except for the old bastard in the next lanes who floats back and forth on his back and hawks into the pool. I have a fever and I think it's his fault.

You could literally put your hand out and a boob would walk into it. Yep, we tried.

Damn, I'm going to the wrong kind of concerts...

10 laps huh woman? Holla! That's still 8 more than I can do. You're putting me to shame ;)

[betsybanger.livejournal.com]

wow, sounds like you had a relatively good time especially with the boob fishing ;)
Reminds me that I haven't been to a lesbian outting for some time now. I need to reconnect with some family as I don't have any lesbian friends here in O-town... and my wife has never been around more than 5 lesbians in one sitting

Keep up the good rehab, slow is good.
