Snowverkill

We’re from the north, and we appreciate seasons. A little snow here and there can be nice, even in warmer climes. But for the record, this DC snow is getting ridiculous. I mean, 55 inches this season? That’s as tall as a small child. Or Snookie from Jersey Shore. And after today’s blizzard, I would assume the majority of it has come in the past week.

In an attempt to be positive, here’s a list of good things and lessons that have happened because of Snowmaggedon:

• Time off work means more clean work clothes!
• Hanging out with friends in and watching sporting events with them is as fun as back at school, and especially is a treat on a typical work night.
• We’ve been able to explore parts of the city within walking distance that had previously been ignored.
• Guy friends are good for a lot of things, but they are especially good at making pancakes. We’ve been treated twice this snowmaggedon!
• Wellies/hiking boots are essential for the slushy sidewalks.
• Getting stranded in Metro Center is scary, but surviving it is worth the story.
• Everyone likes working so much more than they let on.
• Snow days are the perfect chance to go to Georgetown Cupcake early enough to get the free cupcake of the day, and a half dozen more to share with one's roommates.
• LSAT prep is a productive way to spend a snow day. Shopping works too though.

So, even when you’re stuck at home on a 4, 5 or even 6 day vacation, you can still learn thing or two J.

Much love,

Thing 1 and Thing 2

I got a job and have income, don't hate me.

I got a job. A paid one, but not a legit one. Just your basic food service-whatever-it-pays-my-bar-tab-and-grocery-bill job. And so my lesson: working seven days in a row, even if 5 of them is unpaid office work, is tiring.

The weekend started out great, with increased work activity. I got to go to a couple of meetings and had some cool assignments.

After happy hour, we traipsed to a district comedy club with some college friends for a laugh. I've never been to a comedy club so here comes lesson two: its a blast!

Lesson Four: Harris Teeter rocks. But you can't go there on a Sunday night, because it will be packed. As if grocery shopping weren't obnoxious and overwhelming as it is, I had to wade through the sea of incredibly slow moving shoppers to get my $20 worth of groceries. I was overwhelmed and frustrated, until i swiped my VIC card and realized how much money I saved. I can't imagine the people who don't sign up for the bonus cards...grocery stores practically give away money!

Lesson Five: The Bachelor is fantastic. Judge me if you want.
