It is cold, rainy and miserable here! It rained the majority of last week, it was sunny and beautiful on Sunday and now we're back to rain. I had to turn my heat on yesterday! I am so bummed. I wanted to stay in bed today but I had to make myself get up and work out because I think I'm going to fire my trainer after this week...I gotta motivate myself.

So...tonight I am going to the 2005 17th Street High Heel Race. In a nut shell it is a costume party/parade/race in the streets of the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C. - better known as the gay community, or FUN! It's been a tradition since about 1981 and is a way to kick off Halloween week. Think drag queens, think elaborate costumes, think 3 foot pink bouffant wigs mixed with alcohol. It doesn't get any better. The only problem is that it seems like it's cold and rainy on this day every year but it's a good time, everyone gets involved and it's so damned funny. Hopefully, if it's not too cold and rainy tonight I will be there and I will get lots of great pic's to show everyone tomorrow...Be prepared! Until then, here are some pic's from last year's race:
