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.
