Weekend Update: Party Event of the Decade Edition

Good Morning, Kittens!

What a weekend. I am exhausted ... and not quite ready to go back to work. On Friday, I met the brother for patio margaritas at Lauriol Plaza. Then, while he and his friends got settled in the hotel, I walked over to Mr. Fantastic's apartment for a quick nap. After the nap, I met the brother and friends at the Front Page for happy hour. I went home early (because someone needed to Look Good for Saturday's Party Event of the Decade).

Saturday morning, I did some final cleaning and shopping. Around 1:30PM, the always fabulous BOSSY arrived. We metro'ed into DC, dropped our stuff off at Mr. Fantastic's and headed to a fun little watering hole in Columbia Heights for beers and fried olives. Yes. Fried olives. Delicious.

Eventually, the wonderful David arrived and we rushed around getting ready for the party.

I am still gathering pictures from the party (I didn't take any pix), but here are a few highlights ...

Eventually I will have all of the pictures in the photoset labelled and will provide a link. Stay tuned. It was a superfun party. The DJ was fabulous. The food was delicious. And the company was superb. The only unfortunate thing is that I couldn't spend enough time talking to everyone there. I am looking forward to hearing everyone else's stories.

After the party ended, Mr. Fantastic, Bossy, David, and I headed back to Silver Spring. We were lucky that SCGB picked us up at the metro station. Yay! Once home, we popped a bottle of champagne, whipped out some cheese and crackers (and guacamole!) and talked and talked and talked until 3.

Sunday morning, Bossy snuck out early. The rest of us got up around 8ish. Blobbed. Ate. And headed into DC, David boarded a bus and Mr. Fantastic and I met Lori (my college friend) and Robert (Lori's friend) for brunch and some life-saving bloody marys.

After lunch, Mr. Fantastic went to get a tattoo. It took a long time, but looks great. No pictures (yet). I got back home around 6PM. Lori and Robert came over for Martini Time. I played around on Facebook and went to bed.

*whew*

Have a great day! *smooches*

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
