Back to us!

It's amazing what a weekend getaway to the desert can do for you!!!  Aahhhh...  We are back to us again.

After our crummy news last weekend, K and I decided to get away from it all and leave town.  We wanted sun and heat, so we packed up and headed to Palm Springs.  We left Friday--right when school got out--and made it there in time for dinner.  We threw on tanks and flops and walked to a Mexican restaurant.  I can't even describe how lovely it felt to sit outside, sip a Corona, and just people-watch--sheer heaven!  As we cruised up and down the streets, we started thinking, Wow!  It sure is busy this weekend!  And look at all the lesbians!  At some point, we began to realize: OMG!  It's Dinah Shore Weekend!  (I swear, we are such an embarrassment to the entire lesbian community!!)  Utterly exhausted from the week, we landed back at our hotel and crashed sometime around 10pm.  So much for these party girls!

We slept in on Saturday and drank coffee on the balcony.  Just as we were discussing our plans for the day, an old friend of ours called to say she found out we were in PS (from Facebook, of course) and hoped to see us.  As luck would have it, she was on her way to a pool party and wanted us to join her!  Well, when in Rome....  We crashed the party and met some of the coolest girls.  They were all so great and not one of them shunned us when they found out we were in town "by accident!"  Ha!  Everyone split up at some point: they went to other parties for Dinah; we went to the Ace Hotel pool to lay out and drink cocktails.  It was a pretty perfect day.  That evening, we walked to our favorite outdoor restaurant and ordered sushi and steak and salad.  We sat outside in 80 degree weather and just relaxed.  We picked up dessert to go and spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing in bed.  After 10 hours of sleep, we peeled ourselves out of bed and walked to Starbucks for a quick breakfast before hitting the road.  
I have to say, it was one of the best weekends I've had in quite some time.  Aaahhhhh....
