Washingtonpost.com site rocks!
I was just searching through the City Guide section for possible things to do this week/weekend and found some really cool stuff:
-Everything...but the Turkey where a few hundred volunteers get together and make Thanksgiving dinner for various homeless shelters in the city. It takes place at the District of Columbia Community Center, but you don't have to be Jewish to get involved.
-Food Network hottie Dave Lieberman will be co-hosting the Capital Food Fight 2006 tomorrow evening at the Ronald Reagan Building. It looks like it will be kind of a live Iron Chef. Tickets are kinda pricey, but it looks like a really fun event!
-Drag Bingo at Chaos on Tuesday nights. Their tagline: 'Bingo like you've never seen it.'
-I didn't even know Swing dancing was still in, but Clarendon Ballroom holds a swing night from 9-11 on Tuesdays...if you're not into the drag bingo. You can find a bunch of other Swing events here.
-Ok Go will be playing at the 9:30 Club this Sunday, but unfortunately tickets are sold out :(
If I find anything else, I'll let you know

Is it just me or does it seem like there hasn't been a lot going on recently? It probably is me since I can't seem to find the time to research happenings in the area and nothing is jumping out at me. So instead of telling you all the awesome things I'm doing this weekend (nothing) or what is going on (...) I'll just ramble :)
LOVES
-I've been a big fan of the website Overheard in New York for quite some time now and wondered why we don't have our own official Overheard in DC, but in the meantime I'll make do with this site.
-Beach hair some how it makes messy hair look sexy.
-Benefit's line of products. Too bad I'm broke and can't afford anything.
-Being a democrat!!!!!!!!
-Avocados. In a sandwich, on a salad, pizza, or just by themselves with a little bit of salt. YUM!
HATES:
-Everything I want being so damn expensive!!!!!!
-Owing people money. If I can get away with never having to borrow money again I would be very happy. I seem to be needing help a lot lately and I HATE that.
-Being in charge of my office football pool. Its proving to be a lot more of a responsibility than I initially thought it was. Seven(ish) weeks left. I hope I can win one, it would make it all worth it!
-My cat waking me up at 5am.
Okay..........I lost my focus somewhere in the middle of working on my loves.
Have a good weekend!

The past few weeks I've been busy, busy at work and socially so I really haven't had the time to blog at all. The couple times I was about to write the phone would ring or the stupid Blogger site was under maintenance. So here's a few things I've done or wanted to talk about:
-Went to Graves Mountain in Syria, VA for Rachels bday celebration which was tons of fun. We were supposed to go apple picking there, but I guess we were a little late in the season and there were no apples to be picked left in the trees so we picked them out of large wooden boxes instead. I still have a bunch leftover so if you have a good apple recipe (pie, strudel, whatever), please let me know!
-Went to see the premiere of the film 11 that my friend Neil wrote and directed at the AFI theater in Silver Spring. Movie was really great, I was very impressed even the second time around. Then we went to the after party and the after-after party. Many miller lights and tequila later Ryan and I were stuck outside Brions Grille in Fairfax at 2am waiting for a cab that never came. Luckily I ran into a friend from HS and he gave us a ride home. Damn Yellow Cab!!!!!!!! I LOATHE that company.
-Also went to a couple rallies for Jim Webb in Annandale last weekend. First one was a union rally which was a lot of fun and the other was a general rally with Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, and Jim Webb. In between the rallies we hit up the Annandale Halloween parade which I can describe in one word: Pathetic. That and sitting in lots of traffic on Little River Turnpike made me remember why I really dont like that town.
-Work has been pretty good. Im moving away from data and starting to work on show operations which is way more suited to my personality and work style. I guess I dont officially get my title changed till next year and until then I am impatiently waiting, but trying to work as hard as I can to show my stuff.
-Tomorrow I'm going to the MACE! 2006 to learn some stuff about show operations then I will be attending a fundraiser at Clarendon Ballroom for Jim Webb attended by Michael J. Fox and Gen. Wesley Clark. I'm super excited to go to that....it should be a lot of fun!
Ok........so I think that pretty much brings us up to speed. I'll try to get something together about events for the weekend either later this afternoon or Friday. As my 2W bus driver would say......Hello Lovelies and have a Lovely Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
