long time friend, El blodgie came over friday for a few hours of girl talk and catch up. girl talk is really the thing that solves everything, especially when it's someone who has known you for 15 years. tortilla coast later with TH on friday - just a block away - we thought it could become our spot, but it was gross and we felt robbed. $35 for 2 enchiladas and diet cokes is not ok. and i forgot how young the crowd is there. i don't mean in age, but like the excitable people that i can't handle. snobbish much?
saturday we had brunch at le bon cafe, yum! strada and egg sandwiches were really good there. then we headed to 14th street, aka furniture world. we picked up 3 side tables at miss pixies, my new favorite vintage furniture store. much more affordable than its neighbors, and a very wide variety of things. and also some really nice farm tables in the back of the store that if our apartment were bigger, we'd definitely pick up.
we went to a friends wedding reception, lit sparklers and sent them off, and called hannah and robbie to go to see Date Night with us. oh man - really really funny movie. and i had too much popcorn and got sick, story of my life. but really great to hang out with friends and enter somewhat back into normal society. we've been a bit of cave dwellers as of late.
sunday was church, brunch at cafe montmarte in eastern market, then home for a long nap. we met TH's family at union station for dinner with sister-in law visiting from baltimore. so fun to see everyone and hang out on a sunday.
the weather was beyond amazing this weekend and i thought, gee i really like being married to TH. he's pretty great.
today i'm working from home today and tomorrow because nuclear summit is shutting everything down in DC. i might head out of town just for tonight...but where?

seriously, so funny. although all i seem to remember about the funny parts of the movie is the number of times "vagina" was said. sorry for defacing your comment box.
people always ask me what i like best about living in the area, and as much as i make a concerted effort to try and steer my praise away from food, the conversation always seems to gravitate toward it, like a black hole. I should just refer them to your blog on places to eat.
