So many things have been happening that I scarcely have had time to check my emails. The weather has been quite nice here and well there is so much to do around the house that I have not had a chance to sit and write. After pride weekend here I really have not had a chance to get out much. Now that the weather is nice the wife thought it would be a great idea to invite my friends here. My wife is really trying to be open minded and embrace all that is me including my friends. I think its amazing that she has taken this step and I am very grateful that she has. So I invited a few friends for a bar b que on a Saturday. This is no small thing for us as we have a shared space in the back yard with four neighbors. Granted it’s not a small space and would probably be a few Acers, but its more out there than most would feel comfortable doing. We just moved out here around December and really none of our neighbors have been friendly in any way to us so far. I doubt we will be getting invited over to anyone’s house now.

It was fun to do something more normal than going to a club and three of my closer friends came over. We cooked a ton of food for a few hours and were out on the balcony the whole time. My wife was really enjoying the company. We all talked about so many different things and its always good for the wife and I to hear other peoples stories. My son ended up hurting the next door neighbor a few days before when playing with him. So I ended up going over there and he was stunned to see me. My wife talked to him earlier that day and he kept asking who her pretty friend was. He was very shocked to find out it was me. I am sure he still doesn’t believe it to some degree and it was nice to know I was the pretty friend. Our smallest also ran out into the middle of the back yard while some neighbors were out and I had to chase him down. It was not fun to run after my youngest son in front of several others kids and there parents. I didn’t get any odd looks though and really everyone was very friendly. I kind of wonder if they thought anything about me looking back on it. I also ran to the store earlier that day with my friend and we went grocery shopping. It’s so different to be out just doing normal things. There were very few people that looked at us any different. You know some people know, but for the most part they just don’t know. I really find it odd that I can pass already and yet I have been doing this for such a short time.

My friend gave me a different wig on Saturday as well. I went over to her house before and had fun going through her clothing and wore the wig then as well. It was not that good of a wig to me before. I thought the wig color washed out my skin and was too light. Then she brought it over and I tried it with makeup on. What a difference a little bit of makeup makes. I would have to say makeup is amazing. A little foundation and the right eye colors can make anyone look like a million bucks. Its probably one of the most important things to transitioning is makeup and picking the right hair. So I wore it the rest of the day on Saturday.

I am also starting an electrolysis co-op with some other local girls that is just getting off the ground. I am sure our house will be known as the local trans house and I am not sure that’s a good thing. The good thing is that I will be getting rid of all this facial hair faster and cheaper. I have done well over 50 hours of paid electrolysis at this time and have yet to clear the whole face even once. The electrolysis I am working with has gone over several areas several times (not good). I just found out recently its not a good idea to go over the same spot over and over. If your electrolysis is just going over a one or two inch spots that’s bad. They should be going all over the face at one time. Its something where if they are going over the same spot over and over they can cause real issues with your skin. So after finding all this out I am going to learn it myself and work with other local girls so we can all work together at removing hair. I found someone on our local group that has a professional machine and we have everything setup now in my basement. I just hope I can really find time to dedicate to this as well as my side job, day job, kids, wife, and house repairs. It’s crazy all the things going on at once… too much.

I also went to a transgendered health fair. There were a lot more transsexual girls there than during pride weekend. It’s always nice to see others that take this serious and want to make a difference. The meeting was kind of boring and I was way over dressed to go there. What can I say I really wanted to wear this dress for some time now and this was an excuse. The thing that really shocked me was that the dress barely fit. This is a dress that when my wife first got it, it was loose on me. I mean there was like an inch or so all the way around and no way would it stay up. Now it was tight, like really tight all the way around. I don’t get it my measurements have not changed all that much, but I guess my bust is a lot fuller. My body looked so good in it though. I loved just looking down and seeing this pear shaped body where it was so V shaped at one time. It’s amazing what one can do with time, the right diet, and of course taking the right things. I am not sure but there might also be some photos up of me from the fair. This guy that was dating a trans man asked if it was ok to take pictures and of course I said yes. I will have to look and see if I can find those photographs at some point. I also had a picture taken in front of the building, but it came out way too fuzzy.

I went with a friend to the transgendered health fair and we sat through a discussion of health care issues for about 2 hours. There was some good information and the Trans man that was presenting was very cute as well. The biggest thing that I got out of it is that it might be possible for me to get free health care. I really need to check into this and have a number in my wallet for the place to call. The bad thing is that if I go this route it will be on my medical records permanently and no government jobs for me. Ah the in equalities of the American system… but I am not complaining it’s just another day.

Another thing that kind of has me going lately is my neighbor. He really has become an issue. He likes girls any girl too much. He now calls all the time and its not me he wants. We actually hung out for a while and he is getting a divorce so he gave a bunch of stuff to us. He kept saying under his breath that he is not gay around me. I explained to him that I am not interested in him at all. I wonder if he is just telling this to himself, because he was attracted to me… but the real issue is that he is very attracted to my wife. He wants her so bad and now her sister is here as well. She doesn’t even speak English and he is going nuts over her as well. It’s so funny to see a real guy and how they act around girls he is like a dog in heat. It really confirms in me how different I am.

To make a long story short he gave us a trampoline among other things. I love trampolines and always wanted the jumbo sized one. Now I have one and I can tell you for sure that trampolines and alcohol don’t mix. Don’t even try it, it’s not a good combination, but I am sure you could have guessed that without someone saying it.
