Monday dinner with Julie at 1501 Uptown Gastropub

It is Monday of my vacation week in Palm Springs with Julie and tonight we are going to dinner at Uptown Gastropub, we had dinner here last year on the last night I was in Palm Springs. Julie had some things to do this morning so I went with her but as my male self as I wanted to wait for dinner to get all cleaned up as Susan. Now I will admit I did wear mascara and a light neutral eyeshadow.

We left and drove down to take care of what she had to do and talked as we drove, it was really nice, I am enjoying my time with Julie and yes even as our male selves we are calling each other Julie and Susan. we took care of what she needed to do and decided to go get lunch at a Mexican Restaurant her and Trixie likes called Macarios Grill. We got there and went in for lunch. We were seated and ordered our food and sat and talked. They were not really busy but there was one lady sitting across the room by herself and I did notice her looking at me several times and mainly when I had my hand up so I think she was looking at my hands and was fascinated by the fact I had nice red nails. She never came over or said anything but it was kind of funny. We had a wonderful lunch. After lunch we drove back to Julie’s and relaxed for a while on her back porch watching TV, it was a beautiful day out. If you are in the sun it is hot but in the shade is really pleasant. The next couple days will be in the mid 90’s so it will be hot so I am thinking we need a pool day although we do need to work around her schedule. On Tuesday she has a lady come clen her house some where between 9 and 2 and Thursday her pool man comes so most likely Wednesday will be our pool day.

Julie started getting ready abut 4pm and I waited about 30 minutes before I started to get ready. I will admit I do like spending the whole vacation as Susan but it is also nice to break it up and get dressed up in the evening to go out as it somehow seems more special I was all ready by 5:40 and watched TV till Julie was ready. Julie had made us reservations at 6:45 so a little after 6 we left, of course before we left we took a few pictures outside. We got to Uptown Gastropub about 6:30 and were able to park in their parking lot. Last year when we were here they were so busy we had to park a block away and walk and that was the evening it was really windy here. We got in and were shown to our table as they were not as busy but that didn’t last. It wasn’t long and it was just a steady stream of people coming in and there were times there were 15 people waiting to be seated so we timed it perfectly.

Our waitress came and took our orders and I got the fish and chips, looking back on y blog I ordered the same thing last year and I think Juie did also but their fish is really good. We sat and talked and just had a nice time. our food came and we had a wonderful dinner. I really do think this makes it totally normal and by that I am not saying this side of me is not normal. What I mean is it was not like we were transforming to our female self just to express this side of ourselves but instead we were just two women getting dressed up to go out to dinner. Our food came and as I said it was really good. We had a wonderful dinner and I so enjoy spending time with Julie.

After dinner we decided to go to the Agua Caliente casino just like last year for a little while. We went in and they had a few Blackjack tables and one was actually a $3 table that had seats open so we sat down at the end and played a little Blackjack. There were   men at the table and they all seemed fine with us and were talking to us and they all referred to us as ladies, miss or mam which was awesome. We both bought in for $100 and played. We were probably her for 2 hours and went up and down but were having a fun time. We had several dealer changes and at one point we were both up but the last dealer that we had was on a hot streak and we started going down so we decided to call it a night. We went and cashed in our chis and Julie had $104 so she won a little. I cashed in $85 so I lost $1 but we had an enjoyable time for a couple hours which is what it is all about. We got back to Julies a little after 11pm and watched a little TV before we called it a night.  

Now I am looking forward to Tuesday as we will do dinner again but we are going to go site seeing in the late morning to early afternoon while her house is cleaned and yes I will do that as my male self also and then get cleaned up as Susan for dinner.
