I had a really packed weekend and I'm paying for it this morning. Friday night I went to a going away party for a friend and her husband who are moving to San Francisco. Normally this group's outings turn into a drunk fest of laughing and bad karaoke. I'm sure Friday was no different but I left before the antics got into full swing. It was way out in Herndon (which is f-a-r-r, about an hour out of the city). We got to the party at 9 pm and left just before 1 am, getting grief from Natalie the entire 20 minutes we tried to extricate ourselves from the party. Best quote of the night while I was there "Indians don't talk loudly, they just have accents".
Saturday was spent having lunch with Katie and Heather and then shopping at Target for far too many hours. We were originally going to do one of our Smithsonian visits but it being cherry blossom season, we nixed it and went shopping. This is the first time I've been to Target since I've moved (over 2 years) so it was a fun, fun trip. You forget how much you can get in one convenient location and since there aren't any in the city it was an extra special treat for Heather and me. So four hours later we get back into the city just in time for me to put my purchases away, hop in the shower and get ready to go to Jim's bday celebration. Paul and I grabbed some dinner and then picked Heather up on our way to the bar. We spent a couple hours hanging out there where I had to explain to Paul that if Jim wasn't such a good friend to me I would think he was a complete ass. We got home and my landlord's party was still sounding strong so we went up to have a beer with them. Ended up staying for a bit longer than expected but they were fun and it was good to spend some time with my landlord.
Sunday I came into the office for a couple hours and then went to help divy up our season tickets for the Nationals. Opening day is Thursday and I can't wait. So excited for the season! I've really missed going to baseball games regularly so having a team in the city I can root for without going against the Angels is great. Now I have a National League team and an American League team and it's not like they're going to be in the Series together anytime soon so I'm golden. The divying took a couple hours since there are about ten of us splitting up four seats for 40 games but it went very smoothly (thanks for the spreadsheet Katie) and no one seems to be ruffled about the outcome. It probably helped that there were only four of us there and some don't care which games they go to as long as it's not Toronto.
