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. :)
