Virginia with Jess/Eric/Pea in their Pod

Friday: We got in around noon. Picked up Eric at work and went to a place called The Savage Mill in Savage, MD. It's an old mill that has been turned into a restaurant and a bunch of "crafty" stores. We ate the Ram's Head. We were in Maryland, so, of course, I had a crab cake sandwich.

We were all a little tired...what with me not going to bed and getting on a 5:30 flight, and Jess being pregnant. We went back to Jess and Eric's new house and just relaxed for a little while. Had dinner at Johnny's New York Style Pizzeria.

Afterwards, we went to Lucky's Kind of like a Dave and Buster's. Eric and I got a couple of drinks, and Eric played games with Gabby while Jess and I caught up. Gabby and Jess were pretty tired so they went home to watch The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants...1 & 2. Eric and I stayed at Lucky's. We kicked major ass at the jungle something or other game. And shook ourselves to death trying to get zombies off of us. We had Jess come pick us up...maybe we had a little too much. Got back to the house, and Eric and I proceeded to drink a little more. Passed out.

Saturday: We had dinner with Jess' parents and her friend Holly and Holly's son Brodie at the Famous Dave's that Jess' sister, Kaycee, works at. Really, really, REALLY good BBQ. We stuffed ourselves into oblivion.

Jess, Gabby, and I headed to DC. Went to the Natural History Museum. Tried to go ice skating on the Mall, but the line was ridiculous. Let Gabby take in the monuments, which she could have cared less about. Finally went ice skating at Pentagon Row. Well, I didn't go ice skating. I watched, smoked, and then had coffee.

Pretty damn tired, so we went home. Rested a little, and then Eric made Gabby and me try Pho at a restaurant called Pho Kim. Not horrible. Probably wouldn't eat it again. At least in large quantities. Stopped for ice cream because the pho just wasn't that great for any of us. I was really proud of Gabby for trying it though, and not being freaked out like usual about new, weird food. She's been really good about trying new things lately. I like it.

Went home...had maybe a half a glass of wine, and we were all ready for bed.

Sunday: We went to brunch at the Chart House on the Potomac with a few of Jess' friends that I know pretty well: John and Claudia, Dean and Deannie, and Jess' brother Rob with his girlfriend Stephanie (my little pocket pelican). It was a very nice restaurant with an all inclusive brunch...huge salad bar, brunch (I had Eggs Maryland...crab cakes...AGAIN!)...and of course, all you can drink champagne...which I did. Which then meant sleepy time on the plane. We went straight to the airport after brunch and got home around 10.

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...

I just spilled coffee all over my keyboard...

Friday I did it. I went up to where my sister works and took all the testing for their clerical positions. They don't let you apply for any of the jobs until you do the testing so they can see what you qualify for. I qualified for the highest clerical position. Senior Secretary, so I applied for a lot of those. I would really, really like for this job opportunity to work out. It would mean I could stay in SA, I could have lunch with my sister during the week, I would be paid well, and I would have the opportunity to go back to school and get a degree in something a little more specific. What exactly, I don't know. I can specialize my Geography degree more by getting certified in GIS because I'm already mostly there, or I would really like to do something more along the lines of biology, physiology, or maybe even geology. Something with a little more scientific background instead of cultural. Anyhoo...it's a great opportunity. Keep your fingers crossed! After ...
