Therefore, it has been one official year with MeTo and my life has changed a lot. Sometimes I stop and wonder how things might be different if I had never met the man of my dreams so early in my gay life. It amazes me how a single moment can change your life forever. I could have ignored that message that I got and then would have never known what I was missing and continued with my life in Philly. I would have still probably got that job at Traction and maybe moved to Bensalem, but all the while still out looking for Mr. Right not knowing that I passed him up.
Today I spoke with my BFF Jay; it is amazing how talking to him puts me in an even better mood no matter what. The other day when I went to see him and gave him Christmas present, a scarf that I crocheted, he was thrilled and I was so happy that he not only liked it but also appreciated it. We talk and sometimes it seems that we are losing friends left and right but no matter how far we seem to get away from each other a phone call brings us not only back to where we should be but closer.
Last Friday was my mother’s birthday and I am happy to say that she said it was one of the best birthday’s ever. I came from NJ to take her out to lunch with my sister. We ended up going to her friend’s cafe where friends and good food surrounded her. There was no check but all had a good time. My mother loved the calendar I brought her and the mugs.
The next day I gave my stepfather his present that I forgot to bring down on Christmas and he loved it, it was a Chinese peasant clock and being a clock collector, he was thrilled.
This past Saturday MeTo and I met his brother boyfriend’s parents at a restaurant in Manhattan. The restaurant was Rolfs and I was told that to sit in it was like sitting in a Christmas tree. With exception of the company and decorations, the place was far from worth what we paid to eat there. The wait staff and management were rude and the food was dry and left a lot to be desired. I had similar food in a restaurant in Philadelphia where to my surprise the staff dressed in German garb and were extremely nice and the food was amazing. I expected to have similar food here and was disappointed. It is safe to say that this was the first and last time that I travel to Manhattan just to go out to dinner.
I am finding that my January is quite busy. The Saturday after going out to dinner I thought that I was going to spend that Sunday taking down the Christmas decorations but I went to MeTo’s aunt’s house where she did her very best not only to make me feel welcome but to ensure that all her guest had a good time. This was only the second time that I seen the woman and she has proven that she not only has a huge heart but also is a fun loving individual. Every urn I make it looks like I just fall deeper and deeper in love with not only MeTo but also his entire family including their dog, which I do not think is really a dog, but a completely new breed of awesome animal.
So Monday was MeTo and my one year anniversary, no more monthaversarys here on out. We are celebrating in Philadelphia this Friday and it looks like it will be a good time. I have decided to stay in the city to hang out with friends on Saturday and then go with my family to drop my sister off to college on Sunday. I mean it when I say this is the last trip to Philly for the rest of the month, its hitting my pockets heard.
In the mean time I am looking for a job, I need to get out of the house on a regular basis and another reason to get up in the morning aside from cooking MeTo breakfast or to watch the view. Being a househusband is great but only for a little while. I now truly understand Susan B Anthony, it was not because she hated her husband that she started the fight that she did, she was bored as hell.
