rain rain go away

i'm so tired of the rain here. it's been raining for years (well, maybe it just feels like years) and i've decided that the rain makes me feel several ways:

1. tired: i can't get out of bed, i just want to lay around and running? forget about it! today i slept through my alarm (i guess i more hit the snooze while i was half asleep as the alarm was going off 15 min after i had set it)

2. stir crazy: am i restless? hungry? tired? bored? antsy? i don't know!!! i don't know how to manage myself being cooped up in a house all day, much less for two days.

3. overly sensitive: we went to look at a new apartment on saturday and it wasn't great- not horrible, just not for us. this threw me into a deep depression and ended with a dramatic "we'll never find a place to live and we'll be homeless" i think if lp were prone to violence, he would have slapped me.

in closing, please stop raining, dc. i'm tired of it and i have things to do and i want to ride my bike and go places that are outside instead of staying in all day wondering when it will rain.

it's been absolutely lovely here

it's been delightful here! it warmed up finally and although it's been raining (a lot!), when it's been sunny, i've LOVED the weather. saturday, blair and i decided to get a mani and go running around town. we started out with a manicure and champagne, grabbed a drink and then go shopping for a bit. after we shopped, we decided to get some guacamole and a drink.

blair had sangria. a whole pitcher!

i had a paloma- i miss jarritos so much!!!!

after drinks, guac and an enchilada, we headed over to the science club, where lp met us for a bit.

yesterday, i met the "all star crew" (lp's nickname for us) at bullfeathers for a few drinks. it was so warm outside, although a little windy, so we sat on the patio.

it was great to sit outside and chat with my ladies. today is cold and rainy, so i hope that it goes back to the warm weather soon!!!!

Easter

easter day was beautiful here! it was in the 80's and sunny- no rain for once!! i had been wanting to go to chili's (or really any mid-priced chain restaurant) for a while. dc has lots of great restaurants, but they're all pricey and nice and unique. i was hankering for a mediocre meal at a reasonable price and i LOVE chili's for that, so we called some of our friends and headed out to arlington. that would be where the closest chili's is located. we walked up and there was an outside seating area! i was in heaven!!! we all sat outside and ordered margaritas and queso and had a long, leisurely meal at chili's.

after we finished, we headed back to our place for a few more cocktails and patio time. it was a lovely day!!!!
