The Longest Mile

Hello family and friends! My, what a busy busy week it has been!
I am finished with "Blindness" by jose saramago. It was a REALLY great book. I give it two thumbs up, and I rank it an 8.5! I definitely recommend this book!!!! Just be warned that jose's writing style is different than anything you have read. He doesn't use punctuation very often. You may read a page and a half before you see a period. Also, because of the lack of punctuation, it is sometimes difficult to figure out who is speaking because there is a running dialogue. - recommend finding a quite spot to read it or read it while zoning out to your favorite mellow jams. It is sad and depressing, while also being hopeful and aspiring!

Moving on...Yesterday we had a department outing in georgetown which was AMAZING!!!! We left work at 11 AM and headed to Pizza Paradiso for lunch. After that, we went to get pedicures and then walked to the cinema and saw "Ghost of Girlfriends Past."

If that wasn't enough, I then met kev in dupont circle where we went to dinner at Nando's. After dinner, we walked down to the white house and to the Natural History Museum to see the sea life exhibit and watch "Night at the Museum" in the IMAX theater! The movie was really cute and it was sooo very cool to see it in the Smithsonian since that is where the movie takes place. On our way to the metro after the movie, we stopped for ice cream...YUMMY! We really were kids in grown up bodies that night.

The weekend is going to be an eventful one. Kev and I are having dinner with casey anmd chad in the city and then we are going to the waterfront in georgetown to celebrate my friend's birthday.
On Saturday, kev and I are participating in a Flip Cup tournament in downtown DC for a friend's fundraiser! I am really terrible at flip cup but at least the twenty dollar entry goes to a good cause.
Sunday will be a "catch up on my sleep and recuperate" day!
