VICTORY!

So, I am finally enabled to blog on this beast, so there will be no need to cyber-chastise me. Muoah-ha-ha!

Also, now that I have recovered from my DC reunion (with all my girls from Chapelwood that I've known since birth, mostly), I decided to tell you what I did. Yes, I hugged a pink polka dotted cow. I also slapped the ace of a harlequin horse. Apparently Virginia is big on brightly colored animals.

After surviving our vineyard tour, I went to a Nerd Party at the Convent at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda Maryland. Unfortunately, there were no nuns. Granted, if there were, I would have been drunkenly stalking them due to my crazy fascination with the habit-ed ones. Blame it on my latent Catholic side. Thanks Grammer Koch. We totally had an around the world themed party where I sampled libations from Cuba, Tanzania, Mexico, Candyland, and Hell (incidentally, do not partake in the drinks from Hell. Surprisingly not good).

We then went to the Earth Day festival on the Mall where I got to see Chevy Chase BOMB. It was kind of amazing. There was also a woman who felt the need that whenever she said the word, "President," to follow it with a long pause and then shout, "BARACK OBAMA!" Apparently she didn't know that you don't need to shout into a mike because it is designed to amplify your voice nor that following the term "President" with "Barack Obama" is superfluous as most of us know who you mean when you say "President." Granted this was the Earth Day jam and there were a lot of hacky sacks, so maybe she just assumed that most people were not operating with a full deck of cards.

I also dined with my friend Amanda Burdick, who apparently worked in the White House with Molly and was supposed to go to the wedding, but was too busy getting engaged in Hawaii. Small world.

Hope y'all are having a great week!
