Today I finish Christmas shopping for my mom, dad and brother. I feel so accomplished! It's so nice to have something done early!
Yesterday I celebrated Thanksgiving for a second time with my Aunt, Uncle and my uncle's family. It was really fun! I made new friends, my uncle niece and nephew. Hadley is 9 and Abraham is 7. They told me I was the nicest teenage type person they had ever met and that they wanted me to join them for next Thanksgiving. I am beginning to think I should have become a teacher, I get along so well with kids.
Seriously, kids love me!!!
My roomies have decorated the house for Christmas, it is so cute. I can't wait to have a house of my own so I can decorate it for the holidays!!!!

Christmas Time is Here!
In honor of winter and christmas I have changed my blog colors to a cooler, more wintery theme. What do you think?
I found a christmas dress! It's a little short, but I love it! You can check it out here.
I am thinking I will go 60's with it, you know, tall boots, and some kind of fun hair style. I do think I want fun color tights, but what color?

Fa la la!
Happy *late* Thanksgiving!!
Wow, it's been a while! Things have been 1)crazy busy and 2)difficult on the technology front. As you all know, I was put under watch for "spam blog" I think everything is alright now, but the whole thing was rather strange.
Anyhow, a week ago I went to the re-opening of the National Museum of American History and it was too much fun! There were re-enactors everywhere! I heard a girl from a production of "The Wizard of Oz" sing somewhere over the rainbow and heard our good friend George Washington lecture about the freedoms of the U.S. He looks good for being dead for a coupld hundred years now, and he is extremely chatty.
After I had my fill of American History I wandered to the Library of Congress, which is extremely pretty and cool! It is very pretty, very European and according to the tour guide it was inspired by the Opera house in Paris.
(top two are the Paris opera house and the bottom two are the LOC)Ya, I see it.
Then on Saturday I went to the Maryland Terps game. It was very fun, but I was frozen before we even walked into the stadium. A few hours of stading around in the cold drinking seems to make you cold, but happy to attend a losing game. I really am coming around to football.
Most of my other news is pretty boring. I went to work, wrote a report, thought my car was leaking and dying a slow death, made a quiche(it was yummy) and celebrated Thanksgiving with my roomies and their nieces and nephews. It was very fun. It made me wish my family was more normal and less dysfunctional than it is, but I guess we can't always get what we

Frustrations
So I recieved an email the other day from blogger saying they thought my blog was a spam blog. First off, what the hell is a spam blog and second, does this really look like a spam blog to you?
I am really, really frustrated and I don't think that this post will actually go through and I have fun stories.

Baby News
I finally have a picture of my cousins' baby!!!
She's pretty cute! I can't wait to see her in person!
To continue with the baby news I recently found out that one of the people I went to high school with, who is only 23 years old, is dating a 33 year old with an 11 year old kid. All I can say is Holy Shit.

Rainy Afternoons
I love rainy days. I love that they give me the excuse to do nothing when they happen on Saturdays! But, I haven't been totally lazy, I did two loads of laudry, cleaned my bathroom and sent out mail! All in all it has been a very productive day, and now I am at a cafe enjoying a coffee, job hunting and feeling relaxed for the first time in several days. It's the rain. It must have special gifts!
In amusing job hunt news, I applied to the new presidential administration and recieved an email that told me not to worry if I don't hear from them with in several weeks or even months. They are starting at high level positions and working their way down. I found it very amusing that I shouldn't give up hope for several months.
I hope you all are having wonderfully lazy days as well!

Ja, Ja, Ja, Jaded
Ok friends, I will admit I was a little cynical in my last post. It was a result of several things. 1) I had to be up really early and stand in the rain for a bus. 2)The metro was crazy crowded and seems busier everyday with more and more people taking it to avoid driving. The metro loses its charm once you have to take it every day and 3) I had a pile of work waiting for me that I really, really didn't want to do.
That said, I think the dog in the poster is really cute and I wish I could take him home. I want a puppy!
I will also admit that I am kind of annoyed with the prospect of people coming to DC because I feel almost like it's my town now and that us DC people should get first dibs. I know that is so wrong because DC belongs to all Americans but I really hate tourist. I know I have been one several times in my life, but I like to think I am the un-annoying tourist who does research before they visit and tries to blend in - it doesn't always work.
Only three weeks left of my internship. It's totally weird. Where has the time gone?
