I'm back from Bear Week 2014 and here are my observations and musings:

Provincetown is a magical place that you have to experience in person to truly understand what it means.

There is beauty on every corner, and you always find some cute little street or house you never noticed before. And the flowers and plants! It is such a gorgeous place for anyone with a green thumb to appreciate.

I have nothing but love and admiration for all of our friends that were there for our wedding. And the outpouring of love from everyone one else was truly overwhelming.

The Harbor Lounge was the perfect place to have our ceremony, and everyone that worked there made our day very special.

The weather was very iffy the day before our wedding, yet somehow it all cleared up a few hours before our ceremony, and it was a beautiful backdrop to our vows.

Our house this year was practically perfect. It was close to everything, yet tucked away from all the hustle and bustle. The back deck alone was worth it. Unfortunately, the owner went way up on the rent for next year and it is a bit outside our price range.

We are never missing the Bear Cruise again.

Truly, Bear Week is the biggest gathering of hot men in the world. I have whiplash. But none was hotter than my husband.

Horse Meat Disco was really fun this year. The best party, however, was the Leather and Chrome party; DJ Stefan was firing on all cylinders.

The lobster bisque and lobster ravioli at The Lobster Pot are phenomenal.

Most restaurants, regardless of price point, have some very indifferent service.

Even raining, the town radiates a beautiful energy.

You have to pace yourself during the week. We took Tuesday night off and recharged our batteries.

Being in the middle of town makes all the difference.

If you aren't in the middle, a bike makes all the difference.

You can't be everywhere at once.

Drinking there can cost a small fortune.

It always amazes me that I never ran into several friends of mine while we were up there.

The Saturday when everyone leaves is the most depressing day ever. The night before when the Fireman's Ball ends is a close second.

Post-Bear Week depression is very real. And I think all of us came down with kennel cough.

Re-entry to the regular work week is brutal.

If I had to work in a cubicle, I think I would go insane.

My favorite new musical genre name: Blip-pop.

I finally got a window office. The best things about it are the following: it has a fucking window, it has a solid wood door, I have a killer view of the Midtown skyline, and I don't have to stare into someone's office across the hall.

I wish I worried less. And I really wish all my worrying didn't occur at 4 AM.

Love that look.

I giggle every time I call Andrew my husband; it is so new sounding.

I'm never going to be considered one of the great legal minds of our time, but I am a pretty solid attorney.

Even ridiculously hot men get nervous about asking someone out.

Somewhere buried within all the over-the-topness of the last season of True Blood is a good show trying to get out.

Hee hee.

I dislike people who make snarky comments that because they don't look a certain way that I, or my friends, won't talk to them. As long as you are nice, I will talk to anyone.

Pie is so much better than cake.

And Dukes mayonnaise is the only mayonnaise I like to eat.

LOL.

I hate waiting for service technicians to show up. At least I can work from home so I am not having to make up hours later.

The inner geek in me is so excited about Lev Grossman's latest book in his series The Magicians is coming out.

Unless for some weird reason you still own a flip phone, excessive use of abbreviations in messages from your phone is unacceptable.

Being an adult is certainly not turning up to be as advertised.

Very true.

I just finished reading The Fault In Our Stars and I was blindsided by the ending of the book, which punched me in the gut and left me speechless.

My office nemesis sent me an invitation to connect on LinkedIn. Should I be flattered or fearful?

I get really tired of incompetence in the workplace. Do your job and stop giving me excuse after excuse.

Your cute for the day.

Lyrics Rattling Around My Brain

"I’ve lost count
Of how many times we disagreed
But it’s the third time
We fought together this week.
Baby, it’s nothing,
Maybe I just need time on my own.

Just once
I’m gonna go get drunk.

If you get my name wrong
I won’t get pissed off
Cause I wish I was somebody else
You know nothing about me
I know nothing about you
But maybe the question (?)
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost
I’m not sure
If I’m just thinking about it too much,
Or if I’m just looking
For an excuse for us to break up.
Maybe I want to, maybe I need to
If I do any I’ll tell you that I wanna let you go.

Just once
I’m gonna go get drunk.

If you get my name wrong
I won’t get pissed off
Cause I wish I was somebody else
You know nothing about me
I know nothing about you
But maybe the question (?)
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost
I wanna get lost

If you get my name wrong
I won’t get pissed off
Cause I wish I was somebody else.
You know nothing about me
I know nothing about you
But maybe the question (?)
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost.
I wanna get lost.
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost.
I wanna get lost.
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost.
I wanna get lost. (I wanna get lost)
Have you ever been lost?
We could get lost.
I wanna get lost."

"So, I got edges that scratch
And sometimes I don't got a filter
But I'm so tired of eatin' all of my misspoken words

I know my disposition gets confusing
My disproportionate reactions fuse with my eager state
That’s why you want to come out and play with me (yeah)
(Why, why, why)

Stooped down and out you got me beggin’ for thread
To sew this hole up that you ripped in my head
Stupidly you think you had it under control
Strapped down to something that you don't understand
Don't know what you were getting yourself into
You should have known, secretly I’m think you knew

I got some dirt on my shoes
My words can come out as a pistol
And I'm no good at aiming, but I can aim it at you

I know my actions, they may get confusing
But my unstableness is my solution, to even space
That’s why you want to come out and play with me (yeah)

Hold it out, (woah-oah) try to hide it out
But my tracks are better."

"It's a little bit late now
But there is times you will
Get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down
You're going all the way
Take a look and I'll check it out
Cause I can always find it
Such a lonely Place... Ooooh
This room without your face...Ooooh
Ooooooh...American Science
All night long
She can two-step and sway
Ooooooh...it's such poor manners
Don't keep me waiting
Come lay down beside me
A little megalomania
Becomes you evidently
There ain't a thing you can't acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything
Just look at this state
I crawl around in a daze
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion
Such a lonely Place...Ooooh
It moves me into place...Ooooh
Ooooooh...American Science
All night long
She can two-step and sway
Ooooooh...it's such poor manners
Don't keep me waiting
Come lay down beside me
Such a lonely Place...Ooooh
It moves me into place...Ooooh
Ooooooh...American Science
All night long
She can two-step and sway
Ooooooh...it's such poor manners
Don't keep me waiting
Come lay down beside me."
