| What are YOUR weekend plans?? |
'Tales of the Sissy' is a play on words related to Armistead Maupin's novel 'Tales of the City' which chronicles the daily lives of several seemingly unrelated people. Since my blog chronicles my daily life and I am gay (hence the stereotype 'sissy'), I decided to call my blog 'Tales of the Sissy'.

Weekend recap
On Sat I worked (as usual) but didn't have any showings scheduled so I volunteered to drive the company bus for a couple hours, providing shuttle transportation to/from a local arts festival. People were very nice and appreciative of the free shuttle service and it gave me a little something different to do since I had no appointments.That evening we had a simple/easy dinner out with Steven & Thad, then came home and relaxed a little before heading into town to perform in the Legends show as Boy George. I love doing that Legend because the songs are so good and his presence is unmistakable. The place was really full and the crowd was really 'into' the show! Immediately afterward we go out into the audience for 'meet and greet' time, and I got several requests for photos and had several conversations with folks who complimented me on my performance. My buddies Jason & Kevin were there too so I spent a little time chatting with them as well. It was a really fun night!
When I got home about 11:45 Spouse was watching 'Justice League' so I grabbed a big glass of water and watched it with him. I can never come home from a show and go right to bed; I need some time to settle down.
Since we went to bed so late we didn't get up until 9:30 Sun morning. We picked up wraps and chips and headed to the beach, arriving just before noon. Believe it or not this was our 1st beach day this season! May was very rainy and cool, and then in June it seemed like every Sun it was overcast, so this was our 1st opportunity to go. It was glorious!! The oppressive humidity we've had for the last 2 weeks broke and there was a lovely breeze blowing.
The. Perfect. Beach. Day.
I didn't get the laundry done or the dogs bathed as I'd planned, but it was worth it to take advantage of such a pretty day. That evening we had dinner with Steven & Thad and then stopped at the grocery store on the way home.
A pretty decent weekend.

Not much of a weekend
So Sat I worked, as I normally do. I had a home inspection in the morning, and a couple showings in the afternoon. Sat I night I performed as Boy George in the Legends show at the Blue Moon.
I'm typically off on Sundays but I agreed to meet some new clients on my day off for a couple of home showings. Just before we met up it began pouring down rain, and it was very windy too, like a monsoon! It was miserable weather for showing homes and we all got wet, but at least they wrote an offer on 1 of the homes so it made it worthwhile.
After the showings I met up with Spouse and Steven & Thad for lunch at a new place called Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant. Its a chain, but we found the food to be quite good, and the place is HUGE! There's a big bar, lots of indoor seating, and a sizable patio dining area. By the time we finished up it was after 3:00 and I felt like the day was over. It was still raining so Spouse & I just watched some TV.
So, not much of a weekend.

Busy weekend
Wow, what a full weekend!
It actually started on Fri evening, as I left work early and met up with 2 friends to sing Christmas carols (in costume) at a charity event. I love Christmas music so it was fun, and I saw lots of friends.
Then I met up with Spouse & Steven for a late dinner.
Sat I worked until 3:30, then ran home to change clothes and get Big Ella lined up for the Christmas parade.
While this parade is always popular, this was probably the best-attended I can imagine. I've never seen so many people crowded into our fair little hamlet. No doubt the moderately cool temperature and the absence of rain were contributing factors. I saw lots of friends and even several clients as I inched down the main street. After the parade, Spouse, Steven & I had a quick dinner and then I headed to perform in the holiday Legends Show as Elton John. I got home about 11:45pm and after talking to Spouse, we decided to begin making some of the food that night for our party the following day, so we didn't get to bed until shortly after 1am.
Sun morning we met Steven for breakfast, picked up a cake, and then returned home to prepare for our annual Christmas tree trimming party. Spouse picked the menu this year:
We made everything ourselves except the cake and it all turned out great. We had 16 friends who joined us for food and hanging the ornaments on the tree. Since it was only in the 40s out we were able to have a fire in the fireplace which, along with the Christmas music, added some nice ambience to the evening. We had a great time and the tree looks gorgeous!
When the last guests left Spouse & I packed up the left-overs, emptied the trash and collapsed on the sofa with the dogs. They did really well with the house full of people and activity! Even Walter who usually teases people with his cuteness but doesn't let them touch him, allowed some people to pet him last evening... a Christmas miracle! The boys were exhausted and both were asleep within minutes of settling in on our laps. We watched the season finale of 'WestWorld' and went to bed.
