So, I faced one of my biggest fears in coming to DC today, and it was no big deal: riding the Metro (solo). I went to Arlington (the Metro has this neat online trip planner where you can tell it where you are and where you need to go and it maps it out for you - SWEET) to turn in my moving expense paperwork, then came back to my apartment and drove to Fairfax (VA) to get my hair cut - you would not believe how much it had grown since I got it chopped off a little over a month ago -and do a little shopping (a couple of semi-casual shirts at JC Penney, which was having a great sale... I've already lost a little weight from all the walking). When I got back to the apartment, there was a package waiting for me; inside was a new gnome (which is somewhat of an inside joke in my family - I'll expound on it in another blog if anyone's interested). The photo is of new gnome (in red hat) and old gnome getting to know each other on the patio!
I cannot believe how HOT it is here! It's currently 101 with a heat index well above that; I thought I left that weather back in Arkansas! I was so sweaty and gross by the time I got to my meeting in Arlington (I was in a suit); Debbie (our "money lady") offered me a bottle of water and a Kleenex to blot my face! I'm looking forward to just chilling out in the apartment tonight and planning my next adventure!
Yea!!! Soooo happy for ya. And your nomes are cute. One of these days you'll need to find someone to take your picture in front of the monuments.
