Overwhelmed...

My office was robbed this am--3 computers stolen--my officemate's and 2 neighbors--one on each side of me. Had to be one of these construction guys. They are analyzing the video now to see if they can pinpoint who dunnit. I hope it's not the cutie-patootie I've been flirting with all week....


Shauna made it to town!!! We had a great time at Rio Grande last nite w/ Susan P., Lisa J., and Michelle. Margaritas, a tour of the new abode and the new shopping center right in downtown Bethesda. Good times. We then ran by Nancy's to pick up my clothes for the stay in the schweet hotel in Crystal City. I slept in a bed last nite....yummy. :) So good to have Shauna here. I miss her more when she's here, I think....

Tonite we are going to buy me new furniture for my new place!!! So exciting!!! Woo hoo!!! We'll probably go eat good sushi or Moby Dick (Shauna's new fave place), too! And maybe a movie!!!

Tomorrow is a big day. Gotta lay out, go for a run, check my mail, and make it to Nancy's party, then drive to the race locale, stay in another hotel, then go to sleep. Big day.

Sunday is our race! "Duck, Duck, Goose!!!" is at it again!!! (That's my and Shauna's team name--I do the swim, bike and Shauna does the run). So fun. And miserable. All at the same time.

TGIF!!!

Lots to tell...

It seems like forever since I've been on here. Who knows if you even read anymore (all 3 of you!) Alot has happened since my last post. Namely, moved into DC w/ Nancy, went home for 5 days, moved offices from Farragut North to Gallery Place (Chinatown). It's been a crazy 3 weeks or so.

In the interest of time, here's a quick list of randomness:

-Memorial Day weekend, I moved my stuff into storage and into Nancy's. I've been there for over 3 weeks now. It's LOUD w/ all the sirens and stuff, hard to sleep on the couch---but I'm saving a TON of $$ in commuting costs. I metro everywhere!

-Went home last Sat. thru late Wed. nite. Got to spend Father's Day w/ my Daddy. So fun to see them. It was hot, but good. Spent a ton of time w/ Parker, which was awesome. Took him to Wild River Country for his birthday--he loved it! Cleaned out my storage unit and threw all my stuff away while I was there, too. Cathartic.

-My office moved on Monday. Thursday of last week I was in the office for just a couple of hours--long enough to pack my desk, then spent the afternoon at a funeral. Friday, we all worked from home while the movers did their thing. Monday, we came into the new, sweet offices. LOVE IT. I've already been to Bed, Bath and Beyond twice!

-Friday Tango and I filled out the paperwork for a new place!!! It's a cute, 2 br-1ba apt. in Downtown Bethesda! It's HUGE. Parking will stink, and right now, it stinks like curry--but I've been assurred that will not be the case. Anyway, I LOVE IT!!! We move in (if all goes well) August 16th! It's affordable, cute, and a FABULOUS location! We both love it! Praise the Lord!

-Shauna comes tomorrow for the weekend. Can't wait to see her! We're doing a triathlon on Sunday--we're doing a relay--I'll swim and bike and she'll run. She wanted the t-shirt, so I registered us as a team.

-I completed traffic school (as part of my reduced sentence for reckless driving) and passed the test!! Now I just have to send to the court! Then on with the insurance increase!!!

-I'm buying new furniture for my new place!!! SO EXCITING!!!! Value Cit-ay...here I come!

-I'm moving in w/ my friend Megan and her family for half of July and August (in b/w Nancy's and the new place). I'm VERY excited to get to see Megan everyday! The commute will be brutal, but I've gotten permission to work 3 days from home a week, which will make it tolerable!

-The fire alarm went off at 3:40 am this morning in Nancy's building. We had to evacuate. I've always wondered what I would grab in a fire. I got my phone and my purse. Then Nancy told me to put some pants on. So I did.

Friends.

2 precious friends that I acquired almost exactly a year ago. I wasn't looking for them, but the Lord arranged it perfectly, knowing how much I would come to love and appreciate them. Even need them. They are my "grateful" list for today:

Merideth, me and Megan.

Love them. Mer is an AWESOME cook and does such fun crafty stuff. Also, she gets a very important part of me--the part that needs friendship. Megan is so, so fun. So awesome. Can't even cover all the ways. ALSO--Megan can run like a 6:30 mile. For a lot of miles. Heroes. Both of 'em. I'm blessed.

Love you, too-don't get jealous Amy. Or Heather. The rest of you know who you are. :) Don't make me sing you the girl scout song....(make new friends but keep the old...)
