I mean, there are not a lot of other people who want to spend all day measuring walls and angles, and researching the best choice of Amish fireplaces. Gotta love her for that.

But, on the other hand, all of this time together means plenty of opportunity for her to hassle me about my job and leaving DC. For whatever reason she doesn’t think I should stay here forever, and can’t wait for me to – as she puts it – “move onto the next phase.” I thought that was code for marriage and kids, but I think she really just wants me to live in a suburb somewhere and have a job that involves going into an office everyday. Sigh.

In May, more than 100 young people gathered along South Street, ransacked a convenience store, and attacked several taxis. A bicyclist was severely beaten, and a 21-year-old man was arrested.

Is NOT a flash mob. Sheesh. Kids today

But nothing could be as interesting as eating cold pizza for breakfast, watching 80s movies all morning and shopping all afternoon.

Tomorrow I have some work I can’t skip, but after that I’m kidnapping the boyfriend and we’re going to Baltimore. Fun, fun, fun.

But this has gone too far. The next thing you know I’ll be discussing home equity in bars and wearing sensible shoes. To hell with that. I’m bailing on the rest of my work day and going to a movie. So there. Who’s grown up now?

This was the best black guy Republicans could find?

Will be posting some more health care stuff soon.

Part of the fun of girls night is talking about frivolous but useful things like clothing and beauty regimens. And relationships, too. My girls nights have a little of that, but a lot of other things too. Like vodka and pool, in this week’s case. Yes, we bought the pool table. And I love it. Plus I’m finally getting good at the damn game.

This girls night also featured extended political discussion, mainly reading clips from CPAC aloud and yelling. Good times. The vodka helps a lot.

I’m making chili, some curry thing J told me about, and baking a pie. An apple pie to be specific. I rarely make actual pies, I usually get lazy and settle for a galette, but as previously mentioned, I’m nuts today. All the food is for next week. I have a bunch of events and tons of work, so won’t have time to cook.
