i wish i'd seen my roommate this morning before i left for work so she could have warned me my outfit looked like the nordstrom kid's department on PCP and my dress only barely covered my ass

dear self,
why did you notice your hot hot heels hurt before you left the house and you knew you were in for a full day of pain but you insisted on wearing them anyway?

bathroom monitor

a major downside to filling in at the reception desk is the involuntary bathroom monitor duty. sometimes after sitting up there for an hour someone comes out of the bathroom that i didn't see go in.

awkward 80s

the good thing about parents who never throw anything away is there are always accessories for legwarmers shows.
the bad thing is there are always reminders of why you hated the 80s.

and then i started googling birthday bash ideas and realized i'm much older than that already

today i realized i was turning 30

rush hour

in case you were wondering, judiciary square is strategically the worst metro station to get offloaded.
i literally waited until rush hour was over before a train came with enough room to get on.

fun fact: mussles burrow

if anyone was all like "hey, i have a few pounds of mussles and there's a shit ton of snow outside, why not pack them in snow until i cook them?"...
don't do it.
they will run for their lives like nobody's business.

social rehabilitation may be required.

dear comcast,

why is blizzard tv the most boring tv ever? the least you can do when we're all trapped inside is put on a couple of decent movies.

uncomfortably content this morning: in a lounge chair watching the dive boats come up to the dock with a delicious herb-omelet-with-fresh-pineapple-juice- coffee-and-toast baby in my tummy.

bbqing chicken on the beach, pasta salad, coleslaw, rice-n-stuff, and of course many, many drinks.

this is kubuli country!

so, with all the fruits here they've come up with some pretty crazy rums. anise, gooseberry (which i tried tonight--the bartender said after i asked if it would kill me "it'll make you feel sexy"), mango, tamarind, guava, and kinnip (which i have never heard of before). the manager of this place highly recommends the anise rum. by god, by the time this week is over i'll try all the local rums they have!
p.s. stored in large pickle jars and old milk jugs.

Q: what's the difference between a good blizzard and a bad blizzard?

A: a good blizzard would get me out of work.

dear men of DC,

heels and grates do not go together. there is often only a narrow strip of non-grate sidewalk in downtown areas. please don't play chicken with a lady when you're both walking on the narrow strip of non-grate sidewalk. this makes you a douche.


thank you,
ladies of DC
