| Hey you! Well, today is going slow. Big surprise, they have no work for us. So, I've just been sitting here on the internet as usual. I guess I'll start with last night. So, we went to the restaurant for dinner and I sat with Catie, another girl I know, and then two of the staff from our program (the younger, cooler staff). Anywho, I sit down to this limited menu: burger, cheeseburger, chicken tenders, rueben, and some kind of panini, and a caesar salad. Uhhh okay. I guess a limited menu makes total sense when you have like 40 people for a dinner but I just really wasn't thinking of that when I was planning on what I would eat. So, I went with the cheeseburger but ate it without the big bun and only ate about 1/3-1/2 of my fries. I only ate until I was full and that felt really good. Apparently a bunch of people were headed to the game, but I ended up traveling alone because they stayed at the bar to order drinks before hand. The stadium was pretty neat. I decided I like Philly's better though because it seems more "open", but I guess that's what makes Philly's a "park" and D.C.'s a "stadium"? I don't know. I'm a girl. But anyway, so I walk around and venture up this big ol ramp to where my section is and I am astounded by this amazing view! So, I sit there for maybe 2 innings before I realize that I'm actually sitting in the section ABOVE the section I paid for! So, my seat was actually even better! For $5! Dang! So, then I enjoyed a soft pretzel - of which I only ate 3/4 (again, very proud of myself) and a big diet soda in a souvenir cup.  But, like you know it was real cold and I got numb, so I headed home. I've done a little bit of preliminary packing up and I feel like I don't have as much crap as when I came? I feel like I could fit all my clothes into the two tubs I have and my dad wouldn't have to bring my suitcase(s) and I would be fine. I know my dad took some of my extra stuff home with him, but I can't remember what it is/was. Oh, well. I will try to get as much done as soon as possible so I can figure out if my dad does need to bring that stuff or not. And for whatever reason yesterday I was really affected by your text message about the farmer's (farmers'?) market. Your first sentence was, "Baby, I'd love to!" and something just hit me where I was like, "Aww. I'm his baby. I'm someone's baby." I don't know. We've been addressing one another in such a way for quite some time, but I guess it suddenly was new again yesterday and it gave me a really nice feeling. I can't wait to be home! Of course this is again way too damn long, but whatever. This blog will be dead in about 2 days or so so I guess I should make the most of it. Hope your field trip goes well! Love you!!! *kiss* | | |
| Okay. I know I said I probably wasn't going to write anything today because all my events will occur after I leave the house for the evening, but you are good at blogging when there is not much going on for my benefit, so I figured I would return the favor.
Got up this morning and went to the gym. Pending I don't overdo it at dinner, I think it earned me enough extra points to enjoy a soft pretzel at the game. I figure that can't be too bad - in the world of ball park food, that is. I will probably pack myself some snacks though just in case they look scary. Then I showered, started my last loads of laundry, and escaped before Katherine Ann returned from class. She was writing (or something) in the bedroom last night so I gave her some space and didn't talk on the phone in there. Then she was still up writing at 10 o'clock when I normally wanna go to bed. But, since I wasn't that tired and today was a day off I figured I would give her til 11. Well, no such luck. I had to go in there to the question, "You headed to bed now?" and change around and get in bed and force her to leave. I hate to do that to someone, but because it's her I really could care less. Then I got up this morning around 7:30 and headed to the kitchen to start making coffee. I am not out here 3 minutes before she comes stumbling out of bed right after me. Ahhhh. I just need like one day where she's not here and I can just be alone without feeling like someone is following me or watching my every move.
BUT ANYWAY... So, I left the apt and went down to the stadium to buy my $5 without any of those ticketing surcharges. I walked around their little shop but they didn't have the only tshirt that appealed to me in a small - their medium looked HUGE. So, then I wanted to check out the Hard Rock Cafe in DC since I kinda sorta collect HRC t-shirts. But, to my chagrin they didn't have anything that really appealed to me either. The couple that were kinda neat either weren't in my size or were black - and one thing I need less than a tshirt is a black tshirt. So, after all that I just came back here to the apt to finish up some laundry. Catie went to some museums this afternoon, but I didn't feel like doing that so I haven't called to see what she's up to. I really really REALLY don't want to go with Katherine Ann to this dinner tonight but I have a feeling it will be inevitable if I'm in the apartment. Perhaps I'll eat some soup at 4 and then just head out and hope there are some shops of some kind down by the restaurant? Who knows.
See? Told you I could make a blog out of nothing. Well, I will update you on the rest of my crazy night after it has passed. Hope you're having a good day, baby - or at least a tolerable one. Love you!

| Hey there handsome. Well, it looks as though I will probably attend both the dinner and the ball game tomorrow night so would it be possible for us to move our weekly Wednesday chat up a day? I know you've said I'm free to call whenever, but I just wanted to make sure there was nothing else on your plate for this evening. I don't have class tonight; I just have to turn in my final paper and I am free to go. But, I will probably use that time to hit the gym. So, plan for a call around 7:30-8 or so? Lemme know. In other news, this VT thing had me pretty worried for a while. Jeremy Boyer goes there and despite us not being very close anymore, we were pretty good friends in HS. I luckily found out via facebook (his sister posted on my sister's page) that he's okay. It still amazes me that people can actually be this crazy and going on shooting sprees. I guess I'll save any other news (what little there is of it) for tonight. I hope things turn around for you baby. I wish I could be home to hold you and laugh off all this craziness. Love you! *kiss* | | |
| Hi baby! *waves* I know it's early for a blog on my part, but work is actually going to give me stuff to do today so I wanted to make sure I got this in before it got to be too late. Lost 2 lbs myself this week. Which normally would be exciting, but it's just a relief since those were the same 2 lbs I put on over Easter. Just one more to go til my semester goal though! Yahoo! I'm proud of you as well. 2.5 is certainly no small feat - pringles or no pringles. I did however just treat myself to Starbucks. They were all out of the SF cinnamon dolce syrup so I went with SF vanilla instead and it wasn't half bad. It warmed me up nicely. And it counts as a serving of dairy! Anywho, work is having me call all these representatives AGAIN to find out of they are going to the annual dinner. Then we are apparently being sent to attend a protest. Today's march is in favor of DC voting rights, which I could see myself going and supporting. Melissa and I are pretty much going to call it an early day though and will likely sneak home. We don't have to go to report on it or anything; I guess 21st Dems just wants us to "add numbers" to the protest since it's still pretty crummy out and they don't know how many people are actually gonna show. I'm not sure what the deal is for Wednesday's dinner. Catie was wondering if we even have to go. I expressed my diet dilemma to her and she offered to split something with me! How nice! In my efforts to find something to do with myself for Friday, though, I discovered that the Nationals play the Phillies on Wednesday night which might be kinda cool to do since they have $5 and $10 tickets (nosebleeds I'm sure, but hey). The game would be at 7 though so I'm not sure that I would get out of the dinner in time to go. But, we'll see. Okay. I really gotta call these folks so I will talk to you later. I love you!! ♥ | | |
| Today's collection of random thoughts: I was thinking about investing in a pair of rollerblades for the summer. That would be fun for us to do in addition to tennis, etc. Not that I need another reason to spend money. I am already trying to plan to have enough $ for my tattoo, the ipod upgrade, and my gym membership for while I'm home. I will need to get one of my bikes (I think I have two!) over to your place so we have that option as well. We will be a dynamic duo this summer. Speaking of summer, I keep looking at bathing suits online but I just fear the hassle of ordering, trying on, and having to send it back because I know nothing's gonna fit me right. I don't know when we'll really start swimming, but I should probably go looking as soon as I get home so I have the most options. Feel like coming with?  Another thought: have you gotten the volunteer schedule thing from the PA Shakespeare Festival? Just curious. I had them send my stuff to my mom's so I don't know anything about that yet. I e-mailed the padre earlier this morning about next weekend but no word yet. I woke up this week with a different Bowling for Soup song in my head each day (and I haven't been listening to them in particular or anything). Weird. Last thought: none of your friends have seen me since summer, have they? I think Steve's on Saturday might be the first since I've lost 40+ lbs (unless you've been brandishing our photos). Anywho, talk to you tonight babe. Love you! *kiss* | | |
