Gay Camping

The Mistress Maddie and I are taking a little camping trip to the Poconos - for "Bears In The Woods" weekend at The Woods Campground.

I certainly hope the Bears are friendly...

Summer camp never looked so inviting.

Don't Go Camping With Skinny Bitches

As you all know - I went camping this past weekend with my friends Maddie and Curt. Maddie and Curt are skinny - I am not. Cheese and crackers is a meal to them. THIS is a meal to ME(actually, these are only appetizers)...

I was hungry all weekend, but skinny Maddie and Curt could eat a grape and then be full for two hours. Not me - I need to keep a constant feedbag going. Maddie and Curt had finally heard enough of my bitching, and we decided to go to a local pub - Platz's. Gary, one of our camping hosts, had been there before - and went along with us. The picture above is of our appetizers. We also each had an entree and were STUFFED by the time we left. My veal parmesan dinner was delish - and Maddie's crabcakes were possibly the best I have ever eaten. See, Maddie is so skinny that he was willing to share his crabcakes with me!

The huge meal DID manage to shut me up for the night. But by the next day (Sunday), I was hungry again (natch). So guess where we went on our way back home...


Arby's number three baby!!!!! Thank you Maddie and Curt for putting up with my whining - and for feeding me..... eventually.
XOXOXO

No Cell Phone

For anyone that is trying to reach me by phone and cannot - it is because I left my phone in Maddie's car yesterday. Probably because I spent much of the weekend like this...

Pretty, isn't it? Notice how my drink is still upright - and my leftovers from dinner are right beside me - just in case I got HONGRAY all of a sudden.

I should have my phone back tomorrow. My liver, on the other hand, may NEVER recover...

Feel Free To Drop The Soap...

I didn't see any of these guys in the Camp showers - but I DID chat with a really nice (and really cute) guy from Baltimore this morning. We were both in the pool taking "hangover swims" to clear the cobwebs. Patrick - if you read this, send me an email - I'd love to hear from you.

Pickled Eggs and Pregnancy Tests...

Maddie and I hit the supermarket and the drugstore before we left for the weekend. At the grocery store salad bar they had a Pennsylvania Dutch delicacy...

Pickled Eggs! This picture doesn't show the reddish-purple color that results from "pickling" the hard-boiled eggs with beets. Here is what they look like when you cut one open.


They may look weird, but they are delicious. That's some Good Eatin', as we would say.

Then we hit up the local CVS, where Maddie stocked up on the essentials...

Actually, Maddie was being his usual funny self - and walked up to me with his hands full and said "I got everything I need - let's go". I just HAD to take a picture. The pregnancy test is a nice touch...

Arby's Blogging...

Hello my Darling Dust Bunnies. I am blogging from the gorgeous gay wilderness of The Woods campground. It is Sunday afternoon, and we will soon be headed back to Maddie and Curt's apartment - where I will begin my 4-hour train trek home.

We have had a GREAT time. And before we got here, they took me to my favorite eatery ... TWICE!!!

On Thursday evening, Curt was nice enough to drive into Philadelphia and pick me up at the train station - thus allowing me to avoid a third transfer to a third train. I was tired and hungry, and Curt (AKA Maddie's "Boy Toy") made it a point to take me to Arby's. Here he is (below) proudly holding his feedbag.

The next day - while driving to Camp - the three of us stopped at a different Arby's for lunch. That's Maddie and Curt (below) trying to avoid the rain.

Needless to say, it's been a DELICIOUS weekend. More pics/stories later...

Gone Camping...

I will be in Lehighton, PA at The Woods campground over the weekend - so there will be no posting until Monday. Comment moderation will also be delayed - unless someone can get the innerwebz out in the wilderness.

This weekend is "Bears In The Woods III" at The Woods - so there will be all kinds of furry creatures lurking about. If you happen to be in the area - come look for us. Maddie and I will be the two drunk blonds.

And if you find me and I'm passed out - feel free to take advantage of the situation... Hey, at this point I'll take what I can get.

XOXOXO

Next Trip - Gay Camping With Maddie & Bears!

Thanks again for all your kind words and concern about me going/not going to New Orleans. I'm glad I decided to stay home - as miserable as I was, it would have been MUCH worse if I had to get evacuated out of New Orleans. Speaking of evacuations, please keep checking in with Dan's blog for what it was like to be there.

I go back to work tomorrow, and today I finally have access to a computer - so I'm trying to catch up on everyone's blogs and emails. Special thanks to TrannyBeth and Joy for calling me - and to everyone for your emails and comments. Every once in a while I need to escape, and this was one of those times. I WAS pretty bummed, but I'm ok now.

I am looking forward to a weekend camping trip with Maddie and Curt on next weekend. You might recall that Maddie, Curt and I recently took a daytrip to The Cloisters. Maddie is one of my oldest and dearest friends, and I'm sure we will have a great time camping. We will be headed to The Woods, a gay campground located in Northeastern PA. It is "Bear Weekend", which means there will be all kind of furry beasts roaming around and getting frisky. Good times.


Speaking of Maddie - he has started blogging! Maddie has many interests - so his blog should be quite interesting and entertaining. Please check out "A Day With The Mistress Borghese" here.

XOXOXOXO
