I Was Only Having Fun

It has been a TERRIFIC weekend, so I am inspired to brag about it on my blog. To start, everybody deserves to know I am still living at home in my parent's basement like some sad version of a televised sitcom.  ("2 Broke Girls", racist depictions of Asians aside, has a familiar smell).  But!  This weekend I broke through the shackles and had a great time!

I am actually going to attribute a large portion of my JOY about this weekend to the sudden uptick in exercise.  I realized this weekend that January was coming to an end, and I would have to run the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler in approximately 2 months.  Groan.   On Saturday I took advantage of the non-rain/snow and went for a 3- mile run (....jog/walk) in the sunny cold.  Afterwards, I showered, ran some errands, and then met up w/ the girls in Georgetown for a Dean & Deluca chat that led to a warm apartment with pita chips and  boxed wine (score!).  I then cruised east to sketchily pick up my Jeff Mangum tickets from a BFF on the corner of 11th & U Street, in front of Solly's.  We exchanged goods through the window of my car before I promptly sped away, lest I be discovered by the cops.  I followed my shady behavior with a good deed, and picked up dinner for my sad stray dog boyfriend who is presently dying from pneumonia.  (True story about the pneumonia.  Not so true about the dying .... yet.)  After gobbling down Ben's Chili Bowl, I ditched the sad stray dog BF to watch Jeff Mangum play strong at Lincoln Theater.  Then I went home to my cousin's house, watched a re-run of Saturday Night Live and fell asleep in an armchair with a blanket around me by 12:30.  SO.  SOLID.

Sunday was a similar speed of happy good fun times.  After much whining, I put on my running clothes and went for a 4.5 mile jog with cousin K.  She had planned a route full of hills, and I grumbled the whole way.  We then hit up the local Farmer's market, snagged some sweet produce and celebrated our industriousness with homemade egg omelette, kale, and potato hash.  (We also broke K's sink drain, and flooded the kitchen floor.  Whoops.)  Then I cruised to the office to do some work (siiiigh), but couldn't get on the computer.  So, I ditched, checked in on sad stray dog BF, came home (to my parent's house), made my lunch of tomorrow, made my dinner for tonight, and prepped my dinner for tomorrow in the slow cooker pot.

DOMESTIC WEEKEND  DOMINATION!!

Currently Listening:  
Billy Joel - "You May Be Right"
(I may be crazy / But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for / Don't try to change me / Take me as I am because you might enjoy some madness for awhile.) 


The Dead Weather - "I Can't Hear You
(Jack White, you make me wish it was the 90s again.)

P to the S - I am moving home the end of March, so we'll be quasi-neighbors again. I will need a running buddy.
