SNOW!

So the day after all of my friends in Birmingham, Auburn, Marietta and Winston got their snow, I finally got my snow in DC.  We got about 5 or 6 inches overnight and it was snowing like crazy the next morning.  Everything was beautiful covered in snow!!  But it was the biggest pain in the butt getting to work!  I'm a Georgia-girl and we don't learn how to drive in the snow down there, so there was no way I was going to drive.  The night before, I studied the bus schedule and maps and decided I'd brave it and take the bus.  Well, buses don't run on time in the snow either and, long story short, I waited in blizzard-like conditions (for me, at least) for over an hour, only to have the bus driver drive right past me!!  Needless to say, I was pretty pissed.  I finally wound up getting in to work at 1:15 that afternoon!!

Here are some pics from the 21st floor (the snow came before the move):


Another Move (for the better)

A couple of weekends ago, I moved apartments.  I'm now in Clarendon, which is a great neighborhood of Arlington - cool shops, great restaurants, a Whole Foods, and so close to a Metro!  My apartment is great, too - reminds me of Canterbury in Bham.  And, I have a pull-out sofa, so more room for y'all to come visit!

Elizabeth's Visit!

I'm catching up on some long overdue blogging tonight!

I'll go back a month to Valentine's weekend when Elizabeth came to DC to be my Valentine!  She flew in Thursday night and was such a good friend and brave girl to spend the day Friday exploring on her own while I went to work.  She shopped in Georgetown that day, which is fine with me, because if you know me, you know shopping is not my favorite hobby!  But, I met her after work and we went to Rosa Mexicano for their famous pomegranate margaritas and fresh guacamole!!

Saturday we cheesed it up at Madame Toussaud's with George Clooney and GW Bush, then visited the newly re-opened Ford's Theater and saw the coat Lincold was wearing the night he was shot and the room where he died across the street.  Very cool things to see on his 200th birthday!

Saturday night, we had Valentine's dinner with Lucy Mc at a cool new sushi place downtown.  Great dinner with great friends!  Elizabeth left me Sunday afternoon, but we had a great time and I'm so glad I have such a great friend in her!!
