So it's Friday and I'm very happy about that. But I feel guilty as well because I didn't go to the gym once this week. Every day I had some stupid excuse of why I shouldn't go. Now the weekend has come and I'm definitely not going tomorrow because we are going to a wine festival with friends. Maybe Sunday I can make it. Next week I will have whip my ass into shape. I really wish that I could inspire myself to stick to a workout regime. I think I need a book or something to guide me. Any recommendations? I eat healthy generally. I stay away from fried foods and our dinners are usually just a meat, veggies, and a carb (brown rice or sweet potatoes). The weekends we definitely slack off on our diet but nothing too bad. I just need to be inspired.
We're having my friends Gary and Carrie from NYC stay with us this weekend. They're not going to be getting in until late tonight so we will have time to come home and spruce up the apartment before they get here. We're all going to the wine festival and meeting up with some more friends tomorrow. It should be interesting, because it's going to a mix of people I know from grad school and friends from work, like 13 people. We're all taking the shuttle from the Metro so none of us have to drive. It's nice to have developed a good little circle of friends in this area that we can hang out with on the weekends. During the week, we're mostly busy with our own things, but during the weekend we can get together for stuff like this.
I feel bad for DH, because the people we hang out with are pretty much all my friends or acquaintances. Although he gets along with all of them and enjoys hanging out with them and they like him as well. He doesn't have any good guy friends in the area that he can hang out with for guy things. I encourage him to hang out with his few guy friends from work and he does on rare occasions, usually I go with him. All of his good lifelong friends live in FL or in other states. He doesn't seem too bothered by it, because he likes the life we have here and he sees his friends at least a few times a year. The only person that DH would really want to live closer to if he could would be his brother. They have a great relationship and they're so funny together. We're both looking forward to seeing him in August at his wedding.
One of DH's good friends will be visiting in a couple of weeks and I'm really happy about that for DH. I like him for the most part and I think we will all have a great time.

A case of the Tuesdays
So DH and I had a pretty nice long weekend. Friday night was fun because we went to listen to jazz and drink Sangria. I got off early and raced over there to try to get a seat not in the Sun. I was successful, but I had to sit there for an hour until DH could meet me so I tried to read my book. It got really crowded eventually. I get kind of weird in crowds sometimes.
I need my space and will get really annoyed with people who don't give to me. Like we were sitting on this large stone bench that goes around the fountain. There are people who sit in the grass behind the benches on picnic tables. Some people were hanging behind where we were breathing down our necks. It bugged me to no end. So I just casually stretched out my arms pretending to yawn innocently. Well, I must have gotten really close to hitting them because they moved. I guess I can be kind of biotchy sometimes.
The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning and prepping for our BBQ on Monday. We went to grocery store on Saturday and bought lots of good stuff for it. It ended up pretty good. We had plenty of food and drink. We had about 4 people over, three of whom I work with at my other office. My friend David was kind of curmodgeony, but that is the way he usually is. DH and I kicked a$$ at Trivial Pursuit.
Yesterday was a bummer to come to work. It was pouring when I was waiting for the bus and when I got off the Metro to walk the seven blocks to work. I was soaked and grumpy by the time I got there. I didn't want to talk to any of my coworkers or even do the simplest tasks. I just wanted to go home and crawl into bed. Unfortunately, that wasn't an option. I got through the morning ok.
I find out later in the day that DH had got rear-ended on the way to work. Poor guy. The day after Memorial Day is usually one of the busiest days of the year for him because he works with motocycle claims and DC has a Rolling Thunder event every year on the Mall. Tens of thousands of War veterans who come into town to drive their motocycles in the event. So a good number of them get into accidents and such. What a terrible way to start the day.
One good thing did happen yesterday. I found out that I passed the written part of the Foreign Service exam. Although I was excited about this, I have passed it twice before and failed the oral part twice. I think that I will really try to prepare for the oral part. The work that I've been doing recently will definitely help on the exam. But I need to work at it more than I have in the past.
After I got home from work, I had no thoughts of going to the gym. I had dinner and crawled into bed around 8ish with DH to watch TV. We both got a good nights sleep and woke up the next morning refreshed. I can't decide if I want to go to a work happy hour tonight. I should go to the gym and save my money, but I like to socialize with people from work so I'm torn.

Ok. So I guess it's time for my afternoon I'm bored out of my mind post. Work has been so slow lately. I still enjoy the work but I just wish that I could get involved in some more projects. I'm going back to my other office in a little over a month so I'm not sure what I should do. Thank god for a 3-day weekend. I'm not that used to working 5-day weeks and the monotony of them gets a little old.
Our summer tradition of going to listen to jazz and drinking sangria in the sculpture garden on Friday nights will resume tonight! I remember it was one of the first things that we did together when Justin moved to DC. We've always enjoyed it. I think we only did it once last summer! I'm not sure why but I think we were trying to save some money.
The rest of the weekend will be pretty low-key. We need to do some cleaning because we will have my friend Gary and his fiance Carrie staying with us next weekend. They just got engaged and I can't wait to hear their story. Our pool in the condo complex opens this weekend. It's really close to our apartment so I will definitely be there for part of the weekend. We're going to have some people over for a cookout on Monday probably. I'm just looking forward to sleeping in and relaxing this weekend.
Woohoo! I just found out that I can leave an hour early. Awesome!
So Justin and I got into a little disagreement this morning. He wants to do all these things this summer like go to the Maryland coast or the Eastern Shore. As much as it sounds nice, it's a long drive out there over 3 hours. My sister and I drove to Rehobeth Beach in Delaware one time and not only did it take 5 hours in terrible traffic, but the beach was not that impressive. The beaches on the East Coast are just not that great when compared to the beaches in Sarasota, FL. If we were going to make a weekend out of it, it might be worth it. But I just don't see how we can budget in another trip. We were talking about going to NYC to visit my BFF Katelyn.
We'll figure something out. I'm just too much of a Negative Nellie for him I guess. He talks about doing stuff but all I think about is how much it costs and the fact that we are going to start saving for a DP. We'll just need to come up with some kind of compromise.

Sad day
So today I came into work to some sad news. I found out that something that I had been working on for work took a turn for the worse. I can't go into the details, but I feel sad and annoyed at the same time. Other than that, I'm doing fine. I wonder if blogging every day is too much but work has been so boring lately that this is the only way to keep me entertained.
Yesterday was Wine Wednesday. We really should have gone to the gym but I called DH on the way to the Metro and he asked me what I wanted to do this evening? That's it! I knew that was all the temptation I needed to forgo the gym and break into one of the bottles of wine that we had bought on our First Anniversary Weekend.
We sat on our patio, ate dinner(which DH cooked like usual), and enjoyed some wine. We began the usual house/baby conversation. We started talking about how much we love our neighborhood and how we wish we could move into one of the 3-bedroom places, but they are too expensive (at least $400K). When we buy we'll probably want something in the $230K-$280K range. To get a place with 3-bedrooms we would have to move away from our neighborhood and I would have to have a longer commute than I have now.
We'll be sad to leave our little neighborhood. It is just such a relaxing place to live. It's quiet and peaceful. People walk their dogs and run on the streets. There are lots of trees and it is within walking distance of restaurants, bars, a movie theatre, grocery stores, and our favorite wine shop where they know our names. Despite all this, it is very close to the highway, which makes it easy to get around.
We'd like to take advantage of the $8K tax credit, but we don't want to rush into anything and I don't think we're ready to give up our little neighborhood yet. We'll begin saving for our DP next month and saving aggressively until we have enough. Where does a baby fit into this? Hmmm...good question. We're still trying to figure that out but I think we will start TTC at the end of the summer.

It's funner to run with a partner...
Yesterday, DH and I did something we had never done before. We've been together for three years and we had always talked about doing this but had never actually done it. Instead of going to the gym yesterday evening, we decided to take a run together around our neighborhood. This might sound kind of weird, but I never run outside. I love my treadmill because it keeps me going and I've been trying to work my way back up to 3 miles on the treadmill. It was actually pretty nice to run outside with my husband. We didn't run very far and we had to stop a few times especially when going up the big hill in our neighborhood, but it was fun for the most part.
It was less time consuming than going to the gym which was nice as well. I got to watch my show 90210 at nine. It's not that great but it's chock full of drama so that keeps me happy. Now it's done for the season so there is nothing keeping me from working out on Tuesdays.
So I'm torn on something. BIL is getting married in August in Maine and I'm invited to FSIL's bachelorette party and bridal shower in July in Florida. I don't think I will be able to make it. I had a good excuse at first because I thought that I would be at training for work in Denver at that time. Well that fell through, but I still don't feel like spending the money to fly up there. I don't think she will mind but I feel guilty because she was one of my BMs and flew to DC for mine. I told her that she didn't have to and that we would do it in FL before the wedding but she wanted to so I let her. I think I will contribute some money and get her a shower gift off of the registry.

A drawer tour...
So my weekend was pretty good. DH and I spent Friday drinking wine, eating crepes and watching Frost/Nixon (very good movie!). Saturday we woke up, read the newspaper, and drank coffee like usual. Well, in the newspaper we found out Sunday was the second annual Washington Post Hunt, which is like a giant puzzle hunt thing in Downtown DC. We decided we wanted to do it! We tried to find a another couple to do it with us but nobody was biting. Saturday night, we met Matt and Emily for Angels and Demons. We snuck in a small bottle of rum and shared a large popcorn, which was gone before the movie started. The movie was ok. I liked all the scenes of Rome since I had been there once in high school. But the dialogue was serious lacking.
Afterwards we went for dinner and drinks at a local pub. DH and I got in an argument on the way back on the Metro (this seems to be something we always do, I'm not sure why). Matt and Emily wanted us to meet them tomorrow for drinks after the Post Hunt since they were going to be in town for Softball. I was not enthusiastic about the idea because I don't like drinking on Sunday. I like to go grocery shopping and get ready for the week. We made up and decided that we would decide Sunday if we would meet them. Well, Sunday comes and we find out that Matt and Emily's softball was cancelled and they could join us on the Post Hunt. Cool!
The hunt was funner than I expected we got 3 out of the 5 puzzles and should have gotten a 4th but we made a stupid mistake. The end puzzle was impossible unless you got all of the other ones so we came no way near winning the grand prize. Better luck next year! Matt and Emily invited to go for a few beers where they were having a free pitcher deal. I relented and all was well. DH and I had a few and left late in the afternoon.
So a big decision over the weekend was that I decided "What's the rush?" in going off BCP. I thought about all the fun things over the summer that we had planned and my baby fever was temporarily cured. We have a wedding in August for BIL in Maine and I would like to be able to drink for that. We're on hold for now and I'm looking forward to a fun summer!
So what's a drawer tour? Yesterday DH and I went to the gym and then went grocery shopping. We came back and took a shower. We got into a stupid argument about how he likes to put things that are mine in random places. He's done this before where he will take a random article of clothing and stuff it in one of my drawers. It's usually not the right place for that to go so it's get buried and I wonder where that article of clothing is. I find it eventually and I'm like "what is this doing in here?" Sunday I tried to put away DH's clothes after doing laundry and I put some stuff in the wrong place. He pointed that out and I got defensive because I tried to do it as a nice gesture because usually we put away our own clothes.
What this all boiled down to was that we didn't know where each other's clothes went, what belonged in each drawer. As we both cooled off and I blowdried my hair, I decided that this was the problem and it would stop us from fighting over this stupid issue. So I said "Babe, we need to go on a drawer tour". He laughed and all was forgiven. After some sexy time later, all was really forgiven. Wow! I wrote a novel. I have to be more diligent about blogging.

A sex scandal...
Friday, finally! Now that I'm working 5-day weeks I appreciate these a lot more. I used to 9 hours days and get every other Friday off, but not anymore. My second day of blogging and I'm wondering if I'm just writing these to myself. I need some drama or sex scandal to draw people in. Hmmm....well how's this for a sex scandal? I gave my DH a BJ for the first time in a long time last night. I'm not really a fan of it, but I felt like it was time to do it. He appreciated it of course and now I bought myself at least a month or so until I feel obligated to do it again. Maybe I'll do another one tonight to really surprise him!
Work is probably going to be busy today. I have to rush back to my other office today during my lunch break to take care of a few things. It's a PITA but I need to set up the necessary training so I can get my raise in August. So I have a renewed zest for trying to buy a house this year. It just came out that we can use the $8K credit towards the DP and closing costs. That is a big incentive. We'll have to wait and see. Once we have a few thousand dollars in the bank in a few months we'll have to reevaluate.
I love Fridays with my DH, usually we just chill out drink some wine, eat a nice dinner and watch a movie. It's been our little tradition for a while and is just what I need. Saturday, we're going to meet up with my friend Emily (all names will be changed) for a dinner/movie double date with her and her semi-BF, Matt. I'm not sure if their using this title or not. He is a nice enough guy, but I'm not sure it will work out. She's planning on going overseas in a year or so to work and I'm not sure he's cut out for that kind of life or wants to follow her everywhere.
Another interesting thing about me is I have an identical twin sister that is a 1st Lieutenant in the army. She just left for a Iraq a few weeks ago. I'm worried and scared that something terrible might happen. I try not to think about it because then I start to tear up. Well, I got a phone call from her yesterday and this morning. However, I'm not getting these calls because my phone's not ringing, it's just telling me I have a missed call. I can't call her back 'cause she is using a calling card. I'll have to call Verizon to figure out what's going on.
I suppose that is it for today.

And so it begins...
I resisted this whole blogging thing for a while. I'll confess I thought it was kind of narcissistic. My life is way too boring for people to read about on a daily basis. After reading a couple of people's blogs, I decided that I really enjoyed reading other people's blogs and that it might be kind of fun.
So a little introduction is in order I suppose.....Well let's see. I'm 25 and have been married to my Husband for just over a year. I live in the DC metro area and work for the federal government. I enjoy my job somewhat. I working at another agency temporarily right now which where I really want to be, dealing with international affairs. However, I'm not sure the office I'm in right now has room for me so I will probably have to go back to my original agency (boo!) in July. Although I will be getting a significant pay raise in August, which I am looking forward to.
It sounds really cliche, but it is so true. My marriage is such a source of joy in my life. I never knew that I would find someone so wonderful and that I click with so much. My parents have a pretty good marriage, but my Dad is very stubborn and overbearing, convinced that he is right pretty much all the time. I've seen them fight over the years and I thought that was how all marriages were. I suppose DH and I have not faced that much tough stuff yet. But I know that DH is nothing like my Father and that makes me happy.
The first year has been great and I look forward to many more great years. He makes me laugh and smile on a daily basis and I look forward to coming home to his smiling face. We've decided to take a big step in our marriage and we're going to start TTC. I'm finishing up my BCP on Sunday and we'll see where that takes us. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm worried that we don't have a house yet, but I don't want to wait until we get a house 'cause houses are expensive around here and it may be a year or two before we can save a down payment. Maybe not the most prudent thing, but it will work for us, I think.
I would like to keep this blog away from my IRL friends, because I'm not sure what they would think about me having a blog. Plus, there are a lot of details in here that I would like to keep in anonymity. I suppose this works for a first installation.

I'm worried that we don't have a house yet, but I don't want to wait until we get a house 'cause houses are expensive around here and it may be a year or two before we can save a down payment. Maybe not the most prudent thing, but it will work for us, I think.
I would like to keep this blog away from my IRL friends, because I'm not sure what they would think about me having a blog. Plus, there are a lot of details in here that I would like to keep in anonymity. I suppose this works for a first installation.
