I'm headed to Boston tomorrow. :)
Thursday night my sister is picking me up from Logan. We are then meeting one of my best girlfriends for dinner at Grasshopper. It is a vegetarian restaurant, but it is oh soooo good. What fried food isn't good? I am still dying to try a fried Oreo. I hear they are divine.
Friday I have an appointment with Mandy. So I will return to DC not only feeling better, but looking better!
After being beautified, my sister and I are meeting my mom at Siam Orchid for lunch. The BEST Thai food. So yummy....
The rest of the day: meeting the newest addition of our DC, turned NH friends. We met them here. They moved back to New England. Gosh, we miss them. Craig and I will often times say, too bad our friends aren't here. They would have liked to meet us out of ice cream or dinner or gone to see that movie with us. Anyway, they had a son on January 1st, and he looks absolutely stunning in pictures. I can't wait to hold him!
Then up to Maine to see my other sister! God only knows what will happen there. It will certainly be fun, and about 36 hours where I am staying in one place!
And last, but not least, a relaxing lunch with another one of my favorite duos. We are deciding between The Backroom and La Carreta. Both are delicious. Although, right now I think the chicken tenders and mudslides at The Backroom sound pretty darn good.
So as you can see I do a lot of eating when I am home. I have to to keep up with the pace! From the moment I land to the moment I take-off I am running here, there, and everywhere. One Christmas I sat in the Manchester airport crying. I was so exhausted and so sad to leave because there were so many people I had hoped to see and I just couldn't.
Yay, for New Hampshire!!!

You can't even spell my name!
It amazes me that this city can still find new ways to irritate me.
Today, in the mail, I get a jury summons. And get this, THEY DON'T EVEN SPELL MY NAME CORRECTLY! Nope. They don't even have my name right. I changed it oh, about six months ago! And never, ever, has my name had a "k" in it. Not six months ago, and not now.
So Clerk of Superior Court of DC, you are fired. Try getting a job at Dunkin Donuts, cause lord knows they could use some help around here. And I know you are going to blame this "oversight" on the DMV, so we might was well fire whoever that person is too.
What really gets me excited is that these same people who screw up every single day are getting bonuses! BONUSES! Bonuses during a time when most local governments are cutting salaries, programs, and services.
Alright, I think I've exceed my bitching limit for the day. For more on this: www.washingtonexaminer.com

One of My Favorite Sites
Popsugar.com is one of my favorite sites. I visit it daily to get my celebrity gossip fix, and learn about the latest and greatest in fashion and beauty.
While I love to read about what Reese, Ben and Jen, Rob, Kristen, and dozens of others; there are a few people I can't stand. The top five people I could careless about are:
5. Katie and Suri - The story is always the same: Katie and Suri are walking around x city. Suri is wearing heels. Zzzz.....
4. Paris Hilton - She was interesting five years ago. Has she done anything since that VH1 show? I don't think so.
3. John Mayer - He has proved to be the ultimate db. He started to wear on me after hearing that whiny, body is a wonderland, song on repeat in college. Whiny guys are bad. Whiny guys that publicize their sex lives= Ultimate DB.
2. Kate Moss - Again, she was interesting, emphasis on was. You can only read so many stories about her weight, boyfriends, and drug use. She isn't even American!
1. Heidi and Spencer - They were annoying from Day 1. Spencer is the new Howard K. Stern, and Heidi is the new Anna Nicole. For some reason I find the Heidi and Spencer more annoying. They don't even try to hide the fact they are nuts. They actively try to publicize it.

Glee comes to DC?
US Weekly is reporting that the Glee cast has been invited to perform at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
Straight from the official egg roll website:
The President and First Lady have announced that this year’s White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on Monday, April 5, 2010 with the theme of “Ready, Set, Go!” promoting health and wellness. The event will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and, of course, Easter egg rolling. All of the activities will encourage children to lead healthy and active lives and follow the First Lady’s ‘Let’s Move!’ initiative, a national campaign to combat childhood obesity. The White House will open its South Lawn for children aged 12 years and younger and their families. Full ticketing information is below. We hope to see you at the White House!
Aren't the kids going a little young to be fans of Glee? Teenage pregnancy and adultery don't seem like good topics for an under 12 audience. Whoever thought getting the Glee cast would be totally awesome, should maybe be regulated to West Wing tours from now on.
Anywho, new episodes of Glee begin April 13th. Wahoo!
The countdown begins.

My Fake Boyfriend is Too Young for Me
Craig and I saw Valentine's Day this weekend. It was super cute. The story lines didn't come as a big surprise, but it was just as good as I thought it would be. And I loved seeing some of my favorite actor and actresses!I was a little disappointed with Taylor Lautner. I should have realized going in that he is playing a high school student. So he's probably gonna look like a 16 year old. And dang it, he did. I found myself mildly embarrassed. Craig is sitting right there, and I know what is going through his head. My wife has a crush on a 16 year old wolf.
At least he's 18 now.
So bottom line: Go see Valentine's Day. There are a few handsome men to see, and most of them are "age appropriate". ;)

Move Your Damn Cars!
Move them! Shovel out the snow around your car, and move it to a garage tomorrow. Move it tonight if you want. Just freakin move your car!
Oh my god people, it has been over a week and your car is really still covered with snow? You don't care though. It's perfectly fine if it just stays right there, cause you'll take the metro or get a cab if need be. Heck no!!!!
Please, please, I beg of you, move your car so the city can plow the sides of the streets. Until then, we will be in parking hell. Your inability to exert one hour of energy is completely ridiculous. You might was well wear a button around that says, "I am a Big Jerk".
In the north (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, etc), we are told not to park our cars on the side of road during snow storms. This happens at least a half dozen times a year. We drive our cars to a parking garage or find a friend's driveway to park in. If you don't move your car, it will be moved for you (for a fee of $100). The nice city plows are then able to clear snow from the road, and this includes the parking spots! Your car doesn't get plowed in. You don't have to shovel your car of the same spot multiple times. It is really a great system!
If they can do it, so can't you! Move your car!!!
