As promised, here is the finale of my birthday weekend extravaganza.
A surprise trip to Volt with MJD and my parents! MJD made the reservation almost six weeks ago – is that not the best birthday present, ever!! According to what I’ve read, the place is booked solid now.
I was so surprised when we arrived – MJD [...]

In my neighborhood
Posted in Step It Up, tagged 17th Street high heel race, dupant, rain on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Last night, MJD, Artie and I missed the annual 17th Street High Heel Race.
I love going to the race. Everyone in the neighborhood comes out, and has such a good time. Artie loves to have everyone pet him! But I just couldn’t do it in the rain.
I really wanted to take Artie with his new [...]
Trials of a 16th Street Bus Rider

Dear 16th Street Bus Drivers,
Please stop and pick me up. It is very frustrating to be standing in the cold (rain is worse) waiting for a bus, and face your nonchalant stare as you slam the door in my face. Your bus is rarely “too full” to take more customers, you are just not telling [...]
Beer. Food. A Visit from Mom and Dad

I need some help picking a restaurant for late October when my parents visit. I already decided that one night we’ll try Palena because I hear people talk about it all the time and have yet to try it. But the second night, I’d prefer something a little more low-key and with a great beer selection.
We [...]
A Day in Pictures

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’d love to take a photography class. We have a fabulous new camera (thx mom and dad!), but don’t really know how to use it. I heard about pretty affordable classes at USDA (random), but they are pretty early and during the week. I just don’t think they will [...]
Connection to this City

The big race is fast approaching and I am feeling pretty nervous. I often have ideas and goals like running a 5K, but rarely actually do them. This seems like it’s going to happen! I registered. My hubbie and parents donated to the cause. My friends are totally in.
I haven’t been able to run during the last [...]
Half Smoke, Concert, DC

Last night, MJD and I saw Sun Volt at the 9:30 club.
Started out the night with a half smoke at Ben’s Chili Bowl. Yeah…we’re married and turning thirty, but we’re cool!
It probably means we’re not since I had to write that. Oh well.
Also, the 9:30 Club was fun, great venue, we were right up front. So great [...]
No Rainbows Without Rain
Posted in Step It Up, tagged dc, friday, rain, rainbow, weekend on September 11, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today has been yet another rainy day – end to a rainy week – hopefully not the start of a rainy weekend.
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed about it, overslept, and then got caught in the rain for almost half an hour waiting for the bus. Not a great start to [...]
