Weekend o' relaxation
I have been looking forward to this weekend all week, really just so I could catch up on some badly needed some sleep. So far, it has lived up to all its expectations, and more. Friday I skipped the gym to instead sit on my couch all evening and think about what I was going to have for dinner all evening, to end up never really eating, except for some cheese and crackers. I eventually just went to bed, which was by far the best choice I could have made. 10 hours later, I felt well rested for the first time since my wonderful nap on Monday afternoon. I took the morning off, some of you might have noticed that this is the trend on Saturdays when I don't have visitors (the trend when I do have visitors, apparently, is to get up with the sun like any other morning, since flights from CA get in at around 6am over here in DC). So I hung out, and the took off on my day's adventure. This time, not so much for the sight seeing, but more for the good old fashioned shopping. Destination: Old Navy (and then, as an added bonus, in the same shopping center, Target). Two buses and two metro (well, ok, four, there was little mix up) trains later, I was at the Pentagon and then the strip mall with everything you could ever want (except a Trader Joes, which brings me to my next point). I had this amazing idea today: someone needs to start a website where you can type in the stores you want to go to, and the website will tell you where the closest place is that has that combination of stores (this would be most helpful for those us using public transportation who don't have the luxury of just driving the three miles between places). Anyway, so while I was imagining how rich I will become once I have launched this website and gotten it sponsored (mostly by Old Navy and Trader Joes, since that would be my choice of stores to type in), I did some nice shopping, picked up some new shirts for work, and some tank tops for the hot weekends. Then I decided to see a movie. Seeing a movie by yourself is very liberating. You don't have to share the arm rest, you don't have to talk about how the movie made you feel afterwards, and you can eat rolos without having to share them. So, I saw Click and Cars, both good movies, although by the end of Cars I was done with movie seeing, as I had been there for four hours. Double feature on one matinee ticket...can't go wrong with that. Now I am home, enjoying the quiet of my house (except for the fireworks the neighbors seem to be trying, unseuccessfully, to launch above the trees. i think if they go for too much longer, the tree outside wil catch fire). Tomorrow, I might leave the house in the morning, I might not. I do have to attend a reception for work tomorrow night, so at some point I will have to get showered and dressed. The reception is not until 6pm though, so I think it will be a slow relaxed Sunday.
