This morning started out with a breakfast with senator mark Pryor from arkansas. We are honoring him at our annual congressional scholarship award dinner. There were several donors there as well as some supervisors for our interns. It was held at the Monocle by the senate building. It is a DC legend. Twas a lovely breakfast.

Had lunch with the president and the vice president.... Of TFAS. :) they took us to the university club... Super swanky!!!! It was gorgeous! We got to pick off of the menu and we had full service, complete with personal waiters, white table clothes, tons of silverware, and a "to-die-for" bread basket. I had a crab cake sandwich and they made us get dessert (who's complainin) :)

Now I am sitting in my favorite coffee shop in dc, that I know of. :) if anything super exciting comes about in the coming hours, I will be sure to re-post the epic-ness....

Ps I go home tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited to see my mom and granny and besties!

Also, a marriage is going to occur this Saturday!!!!!! :)

Sundaaay

Sunday began with brunch with Emily and Kristen.... I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear we were secretly sisters/best friends in an early life/time period. We had such a lovely little brunch at a place called Town Hall.... SO yummy! We just got to chat and laugh and such.

After that marvelous outing, i went to eastern market again... just cuz... :D

Then ended up in DuPont from which i decided to walk back to G-town... pretty long walk, but i didn't care.

Saturday

Hey there fellow blogger folk.

Saturday was such a great day! I got up early and headed to eastern market... :D
I began the day at Pound, the Hill... a coffee shop. I got my coffee and just relaxed in an easy chair at the shop. Then i browsed through the market. I found a couple goodies, but nothing too shfancy. Then i "got lost" on capital hill, walking street to street just wandering looking at all the beautiful houses and neighborhoods. It was such a lovely morning.

I walked to Union Station then metroed to Metro Center, just to look around and such. Not to long after i cabbed back to Henle to get ready for the Alumni BBQ.

This weekend was TFAS alumni weekend. My awesome friend emily was in charge of the weekend, it was amazing!!!!

THe BBQ was a huge hit, tons of people came. There was a raffle, and they raised over 1000 dollars for charity!  Also, i ended up winning a dozen Georgetown Cupcakes! OMstars!!!
At the BBQ, there was a beer truck. I was selected to work the beer truck for the first hour of the BBQ. It was awesome! There were literally two spouts/taps on the side of the truck and we just filled up cups that way. It was hysterical.

 The alumni festivities continued with a Bar Crawl all across DC. It was completely organized and run by TFAS. We gave away free coozies and such for the party buses full of alumni. I also help to staff the event. I loved getting to hang out with all of the staff and my new great friends. I LOOOOOOOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo happy that they are in my life!


I had such a great time !

Friday

ok peeps.  i am well aware that it is sunday and i haven't posted the past two days of festivitites, but that is what is about to happen.. right now. :)

Friday was a swell day! Did announcements for the students then came back to the office. I had coffee with my boss, which was great. :D

Worked for a while, then Shane bought the office lunch, Buca di Peppo :) yummy yummy pasta.

Then Stacie decided we should go to the national press club. It was SOOOO cool. There were pictures of famous folk everywhere. We went into the ballroom and took some pictures. Talked to a past president of the club and then we headed over to the TFAS rooftop reception.

They held it at the top of a building, the national association of realiters, (i cant spell). it was goooorgeous! We had a perfect view of Washington and capital was just about a stones throw away! It was beautiful! Took some photos there, then we headed to the Tisdale Fellowship BBQ, at the house of one of the founders. it was nice. After that, came home and Jesse and I watched the Switch, with jennifer anniston. It was ADORABLE!


Also, i discovered gummy worms from CVS... they could change your life... Give em a try. Only $3 for two packs.... do it, you know you want to.

This is gonna be a boring one, just FYI.

Went to z networking seminar this morning, very insightful indeed.
Had staff meeting and lunch with some of the ladies, then worked the rest of the day.
Went to books a million and bought, boy meets girl, I'm so excited to read it.
Ran, ate dinner, and put on a mini-fashion show to figure out what to wear to all the weekend festivities.

Gonna be a jam-packed weekend.

Well today began with a few tasks here and tHere until we hAd to go to our small group lunch at US telecom... So legit!!! There board room was HUGE!!!! the table sat 30 people!!!! Oh my stars folks!!! The president and CEO of the company spoke to us. He is an alumnus of TFAS. Pretty awesome! After that we did more work until about 6:30, when I headed to g-town to meet Sarah. She wanted to go stroll of m street to find a dress for the reception this Friday. As we wlked down to m street, the line for Georgetown cupcake was SHORT which is a big deal in georgetown. Normally you have to wait for an hour to get one. We only waited for 5 min, so I took advantage of that and bought 3, no judgment please :)

Walked about and tlhE headEd to the apt. Went to the gym and ran for. Biotech, until it closed. After we had our cupcakes :)

I got to talk to Alex tonight! Miss him dearly!!!!! It was so great to get to catch up! :)

Talking to hi made me really miss home and my best friends even more. I know Gods got a plan.

In other news, I'm going to start reading a book tomorrow, boys meets girl.

Tues of a kind.

Well, today just wasn't my day, to say the least. A few errors were made and I felt like an idiot all day. So i just didn't have a great day. I felt down all day. P.S. Sorry for the lack of creativity on this post.

The day did start well though. We had a briefing at Capital Hill this morning. Senator Kelly from PA spoke to us, while we sat on the HOUSE FLOOOOR!!!!! That is a BIG deal, not even the staff of Congressman's can go on the house floor. Afterward, we took some photos... ideal background and all. Here is a lovely snapshot of the view... It was just a typical day in DC. :D

After work, I came back and went to the gym to run, it was just toooooo muggy outside to run today. So I ran on the treadmill... I totes ran over 2miles/27minutes..... (this is a big deal to me) :) 

Then did laundry. What an exciting life i live. :D

Monday should be Funday

ok folks, i am bound and determined to not to put my readers asleep this week, with my sad and stale posts, so lets spice it up this week folks!

7am! is when i walked into the doors of my work.... which means the good ole alarm clock sounded far too early for me. Luckily my alarm is that Jessie J song "Price Tag", which i happen to love, so i just let it play this morning and eventually i rolled out of bed to start the "getting ready process."

En route to work, i made a small detour to Starbucks... no one judge me for the amounts of coffee i have consumed thus far in my DC working endeavors, or the coffee that is yet to be consumed. this morning, was definitely a "venti" morning. I have decided that when i go to work at the butt crack of dawn, or have to go in ooooober early, i should be allowed to treat myself to a lovely cup of skinny caramel macciato-ness, just to make the day that much more fun.

We had Panera catered in for our breakfast for the fellows this morning, which meant a lovely array of bagels, spreads, fruit, coffee, and OJ. All of which i partook in... :) I couldn't let some of it go to waste. Don't worry, the leftovers were left in the capable hands of my coworkers... so basically all of that was gone by noon. haha

today wasn't super stressful, which was quite lovely and a nice change. Some exciting news, I learned how to set up my work email on my phone. WHOA! talk about shfancy! I am movin up in the world of technology. Also,  i think it is time i take you on a tour of my desk.... and so it begins...

I know its not Friday, but i can dream :)

Funny story about this here cup
<------------------

This was my extra cup from my coffee on Friday. I was so happy it was Friday, so just wanted to write me a little pick me up message. I was writing it on the GUTS bus and the bus driver must have seen me and completely halted the bus, stood up and yelled at me "No drinks, no drinks" then sat back down and kept driving.... oh de lal ee...











This is my proud TENNESSEE section of my lil desk... I need some more memorabilia to adequately adorn my desk area, but for now... it is just a start


Good ole rocky top!

also there is a list of extensions, just fyi

 my stone-age monitor...

i was in the process of uploading some pics from our events this weekend. Also, please view my use of sticky-notes/ post-its... My to-do list and other important things are stuck to my monitor, there for safe-keeping.

 Oh yea oh yea... my coaster i bought at Eastern Market...


It is a very valuable addition to my desk !

 This is the section by my comp...

Lovely pics of mom and granny, my BCMers and my besties. I also have one of my fav verses up there, plus a pic or too and some random post-its...

Also, take note of my KNOXVILLE GIRL sign ;)

My sign that was at my desk when I arrived... I haven't taken it down, and probably wont. There is the calendar for the next 2 months.. Pretty busy to say the least!

Joe, the only guy in the office, wrote me this post-it in a meeting, because I had some awesome shoes on... lol :)

 There is mom and I and granny and I and the stache picture.. I also have some letters from my happy box up :)

Pic of mom and I (LOOOVE her)

and

In other news, our speaker for tonight cancelled last minute, that's DC, so we didn't have a lecture tonight :) Nice, because we haven't had much time to breath let alone have some "me" time. So i got to run and go to the gym :) YEA! It was actually quite nice outside today :)

Then went to Safeway... Social safeway because of all the folks

Had some dinner and had office hours for the eager beaver kids. lol

We have a Capital Hill briefing tomorrow morning. We are getting to go on the floor of the House of Representatives... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TFAS Cribs.

Well, today I went to visit good ole GW's mansion and estate.... and that is in fact George Washington (not W or Bush)... We had to be up early again to meet the busses to take the children (college kids) on a trip to mount vernon. We wore our lovely TFAS t-shirts and even got sweet chaperone stickers (they were yellow, just fyi) :)   The PA's first stop was the food court... haha we were all super hungry and decided to start the day off right... After we ate Lindsey, Kelsey and I went on the boat cruise... It was SOO relaxing. We were pretty tired, but it was a lovely little cruise. We sat on the top deck of this yacht as it sailed down the potomac. Not gonna lie, i may have dozed off a bit in the warm sun of a lovely sunday afternoon... but oh well. :) It was so nice just to relax for a bit, we have been working non-stop it seems. After our cruise, we stopped by the lovely crib of mr. Washington. I had already seen the "pimp-ness" of the inside, so i decided to stroll aboutst the grounds... Saw the lovely view that Mr. W looked at everyday and then decided to take a step back in time and such in the museum.

P.S. there were again 0928374298q074q92831  children there, with both matching shirts on, and no concept of volume... But, i was one of those once... Let em have their fun. :)

We came back to G-town, after a long day. Jesse and I went for coffee, which didn't really wake us up much, but it was psychologically fufilling and/or boosting? ehhh, whatever.

I shuffled down to M street after, just to browze. Ended up find a killer dress on sale at H & M... There is a big alumni rooftop reception this friday, and I think it will make for a perfect outfit. :)

Had some dinner (got some Thai food-DELISH) then went to movie night. IPVS set up a gigantic inflatable silver screen on the lawn of Healy. We all set up blankets and they sold candy and popcorn. We watched National Treasure, how fitting. :)

Another early start tomorrow, or today... actually in about 5 hours.

Again, sorry for the lame-ness that my blog is this week, I just haven't had much time to think, let alone blog. lol

Saturday's post

Ok folks.... I know i have been really good up to this point posting everyday... but yesterday i was deterred by the amount of tiredness that consumed my entire being, that i didn't even find the energy i could dedicate to my blog.... so don't hate, im blogging about yesterday and today, today. :)

Yesterday, we had to meet at 7:45am to head out for Service Saturday. I was the site leader for Friends of Guest house, located in Alexandria, VA. We went to Arlington instead to clean up a woman's yard... It took us an hour and a half to get to the site. We had to walk over a mile to the subway and after metroing we had to walk another mile... It wasn't bad, it just took a long time. It would have been easier, with a smaller group, but we still made it with smiles on our faces. We got right to work and pulled weeds (jack-and-the-bean-stalk sized ones) and uprooted trees and cleared the side and backyard, basically. Like a boss.

I had a pretty awesome group. They all worked sooo hard! They were such champs. We went back to campus for our lunch... FREE PAPA JOHNS.... (Paul Ritter came to mind) ! After that exhausting morning, Lindsey and I decided to venture to Pentagon City mall to check out the Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls, to see if we could find some deals, of course. :) We, of course, found a few things... I found some BALLLLLLER shoes! I wanted to purchase them, but i knew i wouldn't wear them as much as i would hope to... but if i could design some kick-butt shoes... these would definitely fit the criteria...

These are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also forgot to mention that when we left G-town... we saw a Bentley limo.... WHOA!

Half day!

Today we got a half day off from work! yahoo! My boss was awesome enough to give us the day off after 12pm today just to rest up for the busy weekend ahead of us. We worked hard until 12:45 then skidaddled.... Stacie, Dana, and I went out by Pentagon City to check out the sales and browse. They have a Nordstrom Rack, which is like an EPIC marshalls x AWESOME!  I had to leave early though to head down to the National Mall to meet up for a TFAS social event at Jazz in the Garden. It is held at the Sculpture garden every Friday in the summer. People bring blankets and food and they also have a cafe and serve sangria and everything you could imagine. We staked out a spot and just relaxed, until it decided to rain on us.... Some of my IBGA folks came by, a few guys... When they said hi to me, they all gave me a hug.... :) So sweet! It totally made my whole night and week!

to avoid the rain, we decided to go get some dinner at a place called Austins... Tex Mex.

We topped off the night with a cupcake from a cupcakery called Red Velvet... It was TOO legit!!!


Tomorrow is an early morning as well. It is service saturday... Stay tuned for more !


also... i totally saw a double rainbow today....!!!!

Working 9 to 5? Nope... 7:30 to 7

Working 9 to 5? Nope... 7:30 to 7

There was a lot to get done today, so I went in early to get it all done. :) worked on registration packets and ibga calendars and events.

Got chipotle for lunch... Definitely a great decision, it's funny how a burrito takes just as good, if not better in a bowl.:) also, chips, guac, and salsa were also a lovely choice.

Intermittent chocolates and goodies throughout the day, kept us cheery.

After work, we went to target to get blankets for the jazz in the park and picnic. It took almost an hour to get back to Georgetown. But we capped the night with chips, salsa,f queso, Oreos, raisenettes, and gummy bears. :)

In the quiet, in the stillness I know you are my God.

ok folks... today was no bueno, however God showed me so much through it

Today was super stressful, because we got a huge project we had to handle, last minute... So we had to step up our game... pronto.... which caused for extreme stress and frustration in the office. This led me to semi-freak-out and stress too, which is never a great combo. However, I worked hard and got a lot done.  We still have lots to do, however, i think i am going to go in tomorrow super early to get it all done.

I was super worried and frustrated that I couldn't even go running. :/ Sarah and I, instead, went and got dinner, Italian ( Delish ) then sweetgreen yogurt. :) we were just walking around chatting and we found the chapel on campus and went in... we were kinda followed by the priest, which made for super awkward silence, but he soon left.

both sarah and I sat in silence in this beautiful chapel. All i wanted to do was burst into praise to Him... I however, just sat in the silence and just chatted with God and thought about my attitude about things and my reasons for being here. God definitely posed a reality check.

Sarah and I prayed together... talk about AWESOME!!!!! God totally used her tonight to speak to me and keep me in check. She prayed for me and i prayed for her. I confessed my selfishness to God, in regards to my work and trying to handle my life and new decisions purely based on what I want. He is so much bigger than that. I am so grateful for God's grace that has taught me how to live and how to love.

They are all placed!!!

Today, all of our interns got placed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a big feat and calls for a celebratory "SHOOT YEAH!".

In other news... Worked and answered some phones today...Also I Got PAID :)

"I'm gettin' paper"

Look at me now....


Went to the guest lecture, had to creep and take a ton of photos, and turn on the mic.
A good night, indeed.

Also it is gorgeous here!!!!!! The moon was so huge and bright tonight! :) God is so good!

Running on empty

Today began at 5:30 am.... Yes am.... Not pm, folks... That means that when most of the world was going to bed or something of the like, I was awaking fromnonly 5 hrs of sleep, less actually. But, we went to Clydes in china town for a mentor breakfast, which was lovely!! I was a greeter at the door... And y'all it made my day so bright. People were so friendly! There were several folks that smiled and said good morning even if they weren't walking into the restaurant... I even got hit on a couple times by a few older gentleme... Hhah

Then attended a lunch with a main lobbyist at te connectivity. Soo awesome!

Then worked loads, but got to go on a run tonight with Jess... Btw, it is gorgeous here, the weather is fantastic :)

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY

Well today began with lunch with my dad.

He was in west Virginia and decided to swing down to dc to visit. Dad, Anita, and I went to lunch and eastern market. We went to le pain quotidien, sooo delish. Then headed over to e. Market for the flea market. E found some good deals and I ran into an old friend... BRITTANY KOTELES!!! she was my roommate when I was in the tfas program! She is in dc for the summer! I'm so excited to get to catch up soon. Dad, Anita, and I continued browsing and looking, to a few photos and headed back. Twas a swell time.

The rest of the night was spent relaxing until I had to go on a Monument tour, for TFAS. I was on the first tour bus with Susan, the tour guide extraordinare! Got to meet some new folks and make some new buddies.

What a Sunday!

Legit blog...

So... Most of my previous posts have been super lame... i apologize for my lame-ness, but basically that is all i had time for and basically all i wrote is what i did... so... lol, BUT.... today was a day off! :)

Got up early and went to.... drum roll please.... Eastern Market... Go figure :) Twas a lovely morn. Sarah went with me this morning. We strolled down to M St. and bussed over to Rosslyn then onwards to E. Market. We went and got a crepe, first thing (priorities people, priorities... believe me we got em), then hit up the lemonade stand... :) It decided to sprinkle on us this morning, but that didn't stop our hunger for deals, deals, deals. We basically looked at everything today, as always, sampled some of the delectable delights of the farmers market then decided to call it a day at the market... I ended up purchasing a coaster... (don't laugh, it was most in-fact a very needed purchase at work :)  )

Next, we went to TARGET.... I was in desperate need of some necessities and basics, not to mention that i was overdue to browse aboutst the lovely aisles of cuteness.

I ended up get some things like ziploc bags, detergent, and other things of the like... I wanted to purchase about 87154567392874 of the things I saw there, but i figured that ...
A. that would be expensive
B. I don't have a place to put it
C. I would look silly toting about 6125 bags back to Georgetown.

We finally decided to get some grub around 2pm-ish. We found this random place called Lou's. TOTES delish! We got burgers and sweet potato fries! (O. M. Goodness) Then, if that wasn't enough to satisfy my needed calories for the day, we decided to top it all off with a WICKED Sundae... the name did it justice.... it twas so wicked (in a good way of course)

We returned our new purchases to the apt, then headed to Pentagon City mall... Just to shop around. First of all, i think shopping is a pleasurable experience, however... today, something was different... i think it had to do with the 6798000000000000000000000 teenagers there, in matching t-shirts or uniform combination (one group even had on hats and safety belts in addition to their orange shirts)... I think that kids nowadays, do not understand that they too, like their ipod, have a volume function. but... hopefully they will discover it one day. Despite all of the teeny-boppers,  we still had a swell time.

We then were drained, but we kinda wanting something to eat, so we decided to go to this place on M St. called Thunder Burger Bar... oh my... SO GOOD! We got calamari and nachos... too legit to quit!


All in all, another great day in the district. I am so looking forward to learning what God has in store for me this summer and soon. :)

Trivial pursuit

Today began with in class announcements for the students then we headed back to the office for some workin:) worked til 1:30, went and grabbed lunch (sweet green salad-sooo yummy) then work then out for coffee with a student, who needed to ask some questions about the program and everythIng. We then had trivia night, which was awesome!!! We had like 100 kids show up, win TFAS swag and $100, plus loads of snacks were involved! The rookies and I went for pizza and then just hung out...stoked for saturday- eastern market and shopping at target!

Grodiness

So it's hot to say the very least... Record breaking heat today...102 degrees folks... Oh my stars!worked and worked today starting at 8 am til 9:30 pm... So I am so vey tired. I didn't get to run today so I feel grody because of that too. But it's almost the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Missing home and friends lots.

Needing some prayer :)

Museum day

We have a handful of folks who haven't heard from their internships, so today I took them to the national archives and then to lunch. The national archives was pretty neat-o :) I saw our documents on which this country was founded, baller! We had lunch at potbelly, a super legit sandwich shop. Then headed back to work and then to class... We picked up gummy bears en route. :) went for a run... Which was soooooooooooooooo incredibly hot! Then out for coffee.,, all in all a fantastic day :)

today feels like thursday

Today was a great day. It began at 7am bright and early to start going to meetings. Started off with some coffee and a muffin :) ... Then had to deal with the technology department at G-town... They were being lame sauce!! But... Crisis averted. Then grabbed lunch and went to the office, soon to head back to campus to meet a professor then went back to the office and then back to campus again... What a day, huh? But for real, it was wonderful. I absolutely love my job! Then I went for a run.... :) below are some pics... Please note the president's car... Yep, he was totes in Georgetown. As I was running, I ran into the secret services who promptly told me to go to the other side of the street.

Today is the day

The kids ( college students) came today, all 400 of them! Oh wow, it was a loooooooooooong day. It started at 7, and it has been non stop since then. We put up signs this morning around Georgetown and then set up for check-in. We had a group meeting or hug, if you will, then got to work. Tons of kids came through towards the beginning to check in to get the single room in the apartment. Then we had ample down time until our breakout orientation sessions, at 4pm. Those went well... I did lots of talking and answering questions. We then had some time to recoup, so we got some coffee then had to deal with a roommate crisis and then set up for the ice cream social that we, the PAs, are in charge of. We had soooooo much ice cream sandwiches and goodies. Also, there are totes lots of leftovers.... ;)

I am so mentally exhausted, in need a vacation... But I am loving every minute !!!!!! God is so good!

Such a lovely day

Today was so nice....

Got up and went to eastern market early... but we first went to our favorite coffee shop, Pound, on the hill and got coffee and sat outside on their patio. It was in the 60s this morning and upper 70s the whole day... so needless to say i spent most of my day outside.... (which lead me to have one of the worst sunburns i have ever had.... i am purple... :(   ) buuuuuut besides that, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!

At eastern market, Jesse and I got a crepe and then did our browsing.. I got a t-shirt featuring a mustache... A company called Fuzzy Ink, Itll grow on you makes shirts and buttons all about mustaches... SOOOOO awesome!!!! I got a shirt with a mustache on a bicycle. They also had mustache pillows! Thought of Olivia when i saw the booth. I also got some fun things for mom!

We met up with Jesse's beau, Michael, and then they went off and did their own thing and got to visit for a bit, which was a-ok with me! I just walked around E. Market some more, walked to the capital, went to Union Station (got some cute shoes), had lunch at Le Pan Quitedein, then walked to G-town. :) I had a ME-day... I really enjoyed it... I just got to relax in my own thoughts and basically talk to God all day... :) So great!!!

We came back and just relaxed and watched a movie and went over our bios for tomorrow because all of the students come TOMORROW! oh my stars!!!!! :) Tomorrow is going to be a suuuper long day, but its gonna be swell! :)

Friday Friday Friday

Yayayayayayay Friday!!!! Today was stressful but not as much as yesterday, hooray!!!!! I went to the dentist today to get my tooth fixed. I was nervous about it because it was a new dentist and I was worried it would cost a fortune... Well I went to Capital Hill Dental Group, up on capital hill by the cannon representative building. I went in and signed in and went back. They took a look and took some pics... They said it was something with the bite,so she ground my tooth down and polished it and it felt so much better,not 100%, but better. When I went to leave and to pay, they said not to worry about it. I said, are you serious? She said, "that is what we do. Don't worry. I would hope if one of my patients had a problem in TN that they would take of them too." y'all I just cried and thanked them so much. I was just so encouraged by her kindness. WhAt a blessing!!!!!

I came back to work and worked haaaaaaard until about 7 then headed to apartment.we made some dinner then decided to go out for dessert and coffee. We went to Baked andWired... Got cupcakes and coffee then headed down by the waterfront to enjoy our treats... Btw it is beautiful here and it's in the 70s :).

I'm so excited for tomorrow... Eastern market!!!!!!!!! Get ready for some pics of the weekend festivities, including student check in on Sunday...

Oh man...

Well today was another doozie of a day.... I got so stressed out today. I have soo much to do at work, y'all. I have been working like crazy and it seems like nothing is moving along but in reality I'm doing a whole lot.

Well today we had a staff meeting and got a schedule of things to do and such for the weekend... Oh de-lal-eeee!!!!

But Joe and I won the trivia game at the beginning so we got some candy:)

The rest of the day was super stressful. I stayed late at work until 7:30 to get stuff done and man oh man....

But got to go on a run when we got back. That definitely cleared my head. Then, on the way back, this camera guy and news guy came up to us and asked us if we had heard about the armed robberies that had happened overnight across the street from where we were. He asked us o give our reaction on camera... Oh my stars... First of all, Jesse and I were lookin rough because we had just come from running, so I'm sure we waill look HOT on camera. Second of all, dude looked like a valet man... Until we saw the mic.... As we walked away after our interview we both asked each other if that was fo real... Lol

Wednesday.......

Today was a rough day...

Had sooo much work to do, and little time to do it, and more work piled on and up and over and between and under. In addition, i have a terrible tooth-ache.... I never get those... :/

on the bright side... my day went by very fast because of all the work. :)

came home to then go grocery shopping... on the way there, its starts raining, then hailing.... so we sprint to Safeway... grocery shop, come back, eat, and chill..

I think i need some R & R because of today....
