Being lame is, well, lame

But good for my health, so I'm trying it out. I went to a friend's birthday party, but resolved not to drink, so I brought myself some diet dark elixir of life. I also resisted the urge to say that, yes, I would go dancing with everyone else at the end of the night and came home instead. As a result, I will probably not spend the weekend being tired and feeling like crap, but I do not get to go dancing with my friends. Boo.

Things are crazy at work still, and fall classes start next week. One of my professors lives in my building, and I ran into her in the mail room today. I feel popular because I get more mail than either of my roommates. It's mostly from the bank and Netflix, but whatever. I do not get wedding invitations, those apparently get eaten up by the mail, which I discover when I'm asked why I haven't sent the reply card back yet. (This has happened to me twice this summer. What gives?)

Last weekend of freedom! Now I just need devious plans.

Food, Glorious Food!

I met up with my aunt tonight and we went to see Julie & Julia, which I really enjoyed. Both stories were fun, and Meryl Streep is excellent as Julia Child.

After the movie (all that cooking and eating!) we had a late dinner at Jaleo. It's the end of DC restaurant week, we decided why not live it up and go for the prix fixe menu. We had a whole feast of tapas accompanied by yummy sangria. I think my favorite was chicken with garlic that was really tender and juicy, but everything I tried was delicious. To top it off their was flan for dessert! It was a bit of a splurge for me, but, hey, it's the end of summer, and now I've had the restaurant week experience.

Since tomorrow is my last day of summer, I want to find something fun to do, rather than just spending the whole day sitting on the sofa. (We have a sofa and a coffee table now, yay! Now I just need to buy a TV.) One week off between classes isn't long enough!
