Imma slug

Getting ready to head out of town soon and really looking forward to it. Realized that I have been a boring slug lately. Need a mental adjustment, starting by getting away. I know wherever you go , there you are. Just looking forward to a break and spending some time in DC. Staying with CC (aka asian-american sister) and hope to see Mrs. R and family, and KJCB. Also bought tickets to see Sister in August. (DC in July/ Florida in August - I'm brilliant) Realized I haven't left Ohio since February - WTF!! No wonder I've become a slug. (also following facebook at times).

Current plans: Wednesday - arrive BWI and take MARC train to DC (ah mass transit). Head to CC's and dinner plans are set. On the 4th she has people over then go watch fireworks from Iwo Jima Memorial. Other than that my plans are:

See Newseum, shopping at Tysons, some spa activity (mani/pedi/facial/massage), more museums of course- always go to National Gallery East Wing, WWII memorial, and many other places. Hirshhorn has interesting exhibit, also want to check out Library of Congress. I sound touristy I know, and I will do some other things too. Something about your college town that feels like home.

Write more when I return - with pictures.

Day the music died?

Not that I need to search hard, found another reason may need to leave Cbus. The symphony may be gone after this summer. 14th largest city in the US and it may let it's symphony die? I love football, however the city needs both. Also blaming the musicians is outrageous. Who can afford a pay cut in times like this?

(Notice the story isn't from Dispatch ) For those inclined to see more from the musicians view, check out Symphony Strong (though I will confess to bias)

Chillin' on Saturday

Relaxing at home. Last night had a fun time with Mr & Mrs A. Saw SATC with pre-show cocktails (cosmo's of course - so cool that Mr. A enjoys them also). Then dinner at pub. Just relaxing evening - heard about their trip to Italy and redecorating.

As for SATC, enjoyed the movie, if you like the show, you'll like the movie. Didn't have high expectations, just a little fun. Love the idea of a wedding in a library . Little too much promotion of Louis Vuitton - and I love my LV (Damier canvas). The movie is a designer showcase.

It's officially summer here now- hit 90 degrees this week. It plans to stay that way. Of course I'm stupid enough to travel to DC/swamp in July and Florida in early August!

Addicted/ Confused by Facebook

Haven't done much lately, however been drawn into Facebook. First CC, then cousins, then more. Easy to get lost in it.

Not much else new except started making summer travel plans. DC area - 7/2 - 7/8! Ft Lauderdale probably first week of August. Actually watched some political coverage the other night. Glad the primaries are over.
