I'm A Riot...

Friday Friday...today is Friday, which also means a long overdue Jeans Casual Day at work. Thank goodness for denim!:)

I am afraid I may be struggling this afternoon after a night out with the Girls. It was such a blast. We threw Jordan a surprise birthday happy hour and she was thoroughly surprised so mission accomplished!!!! We held the happy hour at a place in Dupont Circle called Stars Bistro where they had half price appetizers, $5 martinis, & $5 margaritas. We then left the restaurant to finish our small party at Front Page (our Thursday night go to). Casey and Chad met us out there where we shared a shot for J's Bday and we celebrated with $3 coronas and lots of laughter and dancing. I am the old fart who had to leave everyone behind at 9:30pm to make my way home to find my bed so that I could make my 6AM wake up time.

It was nice once I got home because Kev and I talked about my night, we found out he doesn't have to travel to Los Angeles this next week for work like we thought, and then we played with the doggies. Penny and Joey were really getting after each other. She was pulling all of his hair out and he tried to squish her by sitting on her. I swear that one of these days, those two are really going to hurt one another.

Tonight isn't going to be too wild as we only have a movie planned after a quick run and dinner. Kev and I are going to try to see "Terminator." It didn't get very good reviews but the previews we saw last week won us over.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day because we have Body Pump workout at the gym at 10AM and then we have errands to run before we get ready for Julie's wedding (Kevin's childhood friend). She is getting married in Georgetown, which means it is going to BEAUTIFUL and lots of fun because the majority of people attending are in their late 20's and early 30's, which means everyone will be looking for a fun time and to let their hair down. Kev and I are then going to rest up on Sunday for our midnight concert at the 9:30 club to see The National. Hooray!:) I am hoping that grilling out is in our near future because I am really dreaming of a fresh salad, corn on the cob, turkey burgers, and grilled vegetables. Yummy!!!!

On another note, I have some bad news. I told you all that I would finish my two books over the Outer Banks trip but that did not happen. I was too distracted to read Blindness, seeing as it has no punctuation and you really have to pay attention. Although, I did finish The Giver, which was much deeper than I remembered. It was a fast read but a very sad story. For anyone wanting to re-read this book, I would highly recommend you do so.

A weird story I want to share before I go is that a friend of mine named Maya, who is also a member of the Metrotextuals, was going to The Gables in Woodley Park (where Casey lives) to walk her best friend's dog. Casey was leaving as Maya was walking in so Casey held the door open. Having never met or seen Casey, Maya approached her and said, "Is Vanessa Pierrard your twin because you look exactly like her?" Needless to say, Casey was a little freaked but then Maya explained that she was my friend and so on and so forth. I got a kick out of this little story when I heard it. So funny! It is proof that we really do live in a very small world!
