Big sigh...

It's almost one here and we need to get up at around five. Had a potentially disastrous brain fart that made me tell everyone that our flight was at 10 when it's actually a little past eight. Thank goodness someone else checked the itinerary before it was too late. Unfortunately this probably means everyone now knows how ridiculously incompetent I am :(

It's been an exhausting day. Met up with a bunch of vv's fam in a bunch of different places.

VV has an interior designer cousin who lives with his partner in the most amazing space with the most amazing views. When I figure out how to steal homes that place will totally be mine.

Don't know what I took a picture of but I'm sure its important. Everything in DC is important, right?

VV's interior designer cousin has the most amazingly beautiful place here in the city. Photos to come.

I wish we had more time to spend here because it's awesome.

Also, I had a belgian-style beer (8% abv) so I've got a pleasant buzz going for me. Not much. Just enough for me to be aware of it.

Can I post images?

Trying to see if I can post pictures via email...last time I tried this it didn't work :P

The weather here actually ended up being really pretty after all of the crazy thunderstorms the day we got here. Woo.

Is this my brog? (Attempt #3)

Its 7:20am here which means it's 4:20am in my head. Which sucks. Just testing to see if this is the right address for email blogging because I forgot

Brushing teeth in bed right now. It's cold in here

Wedding on the water


i bet he does

VV and I went to my second cousin's wedding a couple of weeks ago. It was on a boat which meant we definitely had to be on time which of course meant I was stressed and was ready to dissolve into a panic when I had difficulty locating the dock after walking across the street from the parking lot. Par for the course.


a real photographer


there was a seal following the boat. you can't see it here.


stunt ring


pasta was bland but everything else was good


glad i wasn't on my period


one of my dad's mexican cousins


we somehow ended up with one of the bridesmaids' bouquets

I had a lot of wine at the wedding (they only had white/rose/sparkling...no red! I was sad) which meant I totally had the drunk munchies by the end of the night. We stopped by Tommy's on the way back home for some good greasy chili fries.

Duckies are winning! (watching stanley cup playoffs) (hope I didn't jinx them..)

I don't think I'd ever seen a motorcycle sidecar before! Not in real life on a real road, anyway.

This past week has been crazy busy but thank goodness that's over (for now). Yesterday I went to my very first poetry reading. Some of the stuff was cool (like the free wine (okay and some of the poems too)) but I think that overall it's not my steeez.

Weather is warming up and that makes me happy. I think I'm going to have a frosty stein of beer now.

Shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to (step to. step to.)

I guess there's been a lot of work/laziness (does that even make sense) last week because I only went to the gym once and I only updated once. And it was barely an update (i.e. NO PICTURES). Time 2 fix.

On the day before I took the cake picture VV happened to look at the date and said "I'm exactly 32 and a half today!" to which I replied "It's your half-birthday! We should get a cake!" So the next day VV went to the grocery store and bought his own half birthday cake (among other things) because I'm terrible haha. Which reminds me, this coming Saturday is MY half-birthday (I'm actually more vocal about my half-birthday than my actual birthday because I'm pretty sure no one cares about my half-birthday so no one pays attention to me anyway haa)

Anyway, moving on

That kind of Sunday


la skyline half submerged in low clouds


hair garden


i made leanne a wrist corsage out of these


because "maim sex toi" would probably have been inappropriate for a five year old


my power band!


bootleg lacoste

Leanne and I went to Wine Detective (self-serve enomatic wine bar) for lunch on that Sunday to do some wine tasting and food eating. It was completely empty when we went, probably because we're the only ones who thinks that drinking copious amounts of wine at noon on a Sunday is a good idea (it totally is). We both got a set of three small open-faced sandwiches (mmm burrata) and tasted a bunch of wine. We went to a gourmet food shop afterwards (I got blueberry cookies) and then went to Crate & Barrel so she could replace some wine glasses that her family had broken.

Blang blang

I don't know how Britney ended up with the title Our Lady of the Cheetoes. It should probably be me. Except I have spicy off-brand (Fresh & Easy) cheese curls. So maybe not.

Anyway, it's been a good past few days I guess? Went to a boat wedding on Saturday (FREEEEZING) and then we ended up going to Tommy's afterward because I'd had a bunch of wine and was craving something greasy and salty. Sunday I got to meet Lina's new dude and had sausages and beer (woooo weenies) at Wurstkuche.

Oh, also, for some reason I woke up at 4am Sunday morning and couldn't fall back asleep. Terrible. I was exhausted all day but I managed to get my taxes done (woo!)

I need to edit photos.
