Happy Sunday evening! Since ABC has decided that American Music Awards are more important than my usual Sunday night TV, I’ve had plenty of time to clean up my apartment and get ready for the week. I’m heading back to Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, and I’m happy to be able to leave my apartment in good shape. I absolutely cannot WAIT to get home for Thanksgiving. Six beautiful days without work and filled with family, food and friends.
In the meantime, I’ve had two pretty fantastic weekends these past two weeks. Last weekend, I was blessed with a visit from my very dear bff from college. We had a great visit, and even though I’m loving having her back on the east coast, I still wish we lived in the same city (I can always dream, right?). Anyway, since Friday was a bank holiday, Molly came down Friday afternoon and we lounged around before enjoying a delicious Italian dinner in Georgetown. We came home and watched movies in bed for the rest of the night. It was a perfect Friday night. On Saturday, we made breakfast (and ate some Italian leftovers) while watching the rest of the Friday night movie and college football. The Penn State game was bittersweet with the sad situation that’s surrounded my alma mater for the past few weeks. As upset as I still am at the way the University handled this mess, I’m proud of the football team for supporting the victims in the way they did. I think it really helped for the students to come together for something as familiar as Penn State football.
On Saturday night we had dinner with two girlfriends at a delicious mezze place in Clarendon. After that, we (unexpectedly) headed out for some drinks and dancing. It was so much fun to have girl time with these ladies, and I was smiling the whole time. Sunday morning we had a delicious brunch and watched TV shows in bed until Molly had to leave. Despite having to do some serious work after she left, it was a perfect weekend, and I’m missing her so much!!
This weekend was much different, but lovely just the same. I volunteered at the Air and Space Museum with some co-workers; I had dinner with a great friend; I caught up with some coworkers while babysitting the most adorable baby girl; I had a yummy dinner with my college roommate; I cleaned and got ready for the week. I’m relaxed and ready to take on Monday!!
Only one day in the office this week and one client presentation (and 12 hours of driving) stand between me and Thanksgiving!!!
To Molly,
Lia
