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.

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
