last friday it was 78. this friday it was 45. i miss the warmth. desperately! although i'm quite happy to have 4 distinct seasons and be living in this part of the country for now, i will say that by march i'm so stinking ready for it to warm up that i can't hardly stand it. even just the 60's. so mother nature, if you're listening to this, WARM UP! it's supposed to snow tomorrow, so i'm readying our fireplace for one more fire this year (fingers crossed!). ugh. anyway, as last week was sooooo beautiful and springy (really, spring in the district is absolutely gorgeous and i highly recommend everyone check it out once), there was lots to be done outside. like meeting up at cap lounge for an early happy hour on the patio!!!

on friday i ran allllll over town in the warmth. from NW to SE to chinatown to dupont circle, i was out in the weather. poor lp was home because i accidentally got him sick, so i was on my own, which is sometimes really fun. i was just listening to music, bopping around on the metro, went the wrong way because i was not paying attention to where i was, all with a smile on my face. man, i miss that warm weather. last saturday was my last saturday to work-hooray! although i signed up for it and don't regret the money, i'm so happy to have my time back to myself. so last night i made a reservation at the new texas style bbq place here! (sidenote: it was definitely the first time i've ever made a reservation for bbq. i think this is hilarious. ) it was pretty good. we had pitchers of shiner and beans and bbq and all the goodness of texas as all 8 of us were from texas!
this place was PACKED!
afterwards, we decided to have a few drinks at a dive bar. after all, i was celebrating not working the next day!!

jj didn't want to smell it
it was a great night! great to be back with friends, great to know i didn't have to work the next day and just great to be where i am!!!!soundtrack for the night: the head and the heart "the head and the heart"
