"What are you, 23?"

So today I worked from 9-4 for brunch, and it was a pretty amazing day. I...

-made more today than I would in a week at the toy factory

-got to card someone

-got asked if I was 23

-learned what goes into bloody mary mix the hard way (I think they add alcohol just to get rid of the horrible taste of the mix)

Afterwards me and some of my friends went downtown and walked around A LOT before we decided to sit down and people watch (and buy mashed potatoes?) at a restaurant. Then we went to Barnes and Noble for forever and on the way home the AC in the metro was totally out so it was nearly 100 degrees down there. Way to go, DC metro system. Holidays weekends are the best times to have major malfunctions.

I was super sick yesterday, and I slept from 4PM-8AM, but luckily today I feel a lot better. I was even able to "cook" myself dinner. Thank God Kate is sending me a cheap cookbook, one can only live off of chicken, pasta, sammiches, and eggs for so long.

Holiday weekends here are worse than summers at Disney. Here, the whole city is a tourist attraction and I live 2 blocks from the Zoo so every tourist with a kid under the age of 8 has been parading between the metro and the zoo since Thursday. It didn't make work any busier though, which kind of sucks because I did make some good money, but it would have been more awesome if I had made better money. Oh well, I made enough to pay for my food and metro fare for the week, and next week I'm working during the neighborhood's street festival so it's going to be crazy.

Apparently USF is playing ND in 2011, and they won their game today. woo-freakin-hoo.

My apt kind of sucks. We can't run the dishwasher until after we've run the garbage disposal because they share pipes and the garbage disposal is broken, so we have to wash the dishes by hand and the water backs up pretty quickly. Oh, and the building is "shifting" which explains the uneven-creepiness of the floor. Boo.
