neebsNot long weekend like I am not at work today, but long weekend as in, DAMN, Friday was three days ago???
To recap:
Friday I left work a little early and G picked me up at the metro. We went to AAA and got maps and tourbooks for our trip to CA this summer. YAY!!! AAA is right by the ghetto mall, so we walked around there for a little bit trying to decide where to go for dinner and then G bought me a pretty pink sparkly piece of jewelry. We decided to head back down to Georgetown for BBQ at Old Glory and we got a parking space super close. Dinner was GREAT-I had pulled pork and he had pulled ribs, YUM!-and afterwards we went to Dean & Deluca for some yummy raspberry candies. I had a group coming in about 9:30 and we finished dinner around 8, so it wasn't worth it to head back to Rockville and wait, so we came back here to my office. We ended up down in the living room where we could kinda get the Opening Ceremonies on tv without too my static. While watching the ceremonies, I started looking through the tour books and found some more fun things for us to do. At some point I had to come up to my office to check my messages (since I don't get reception in the basement) and while we were in my office, we decided to book a hotel room for the night of the wedding. So that's done...that just leaves 8 more nights of hotel rooms to go!
My group finally got here around 10...and the other half finally arrived about 15 minutes later. The kids were pretty obnoxious, the leaders were either super unfriendly or friendly but didn't take anything I said seriously and were basically not a group that was worth being at work until 11 for. Also, with the snow coming in I felt like I needed to give them options in case they got snowed in, but they didn't really want to hear it, so I said screw it.
Saturday I woke up pretty early despite having been up late. I met G at his house around 12:30 and then we headed to his friends house for the MD vs. Duke game. One of his high school friends went to Duke (most of the rest of them went to MD) and came to watch the game with us too, so we had someone to rub it into our face how badly we lost! (Luckily, Nick has more class than that, so he didn't really say much of anything!) After the game, it started snowing, but not too bad, so we watched a Chris Rock HBO special and then left. I stayed for dinner at G's house and by the time I was ready to leave, it was pretty bad outside. I tried to go to my mom's house but I only made it about 3 miles in 10 minutes before G called to see how the roads were and when I told him how bad it was, he told me to come back. So I did. We watched some Olympics and then headed to bed.
Sunday I woke up super early for me (9:30!!) but still felt pretty well rested. Looking outside, there was probably about 10 inches of snow. Dang! After breakfast, G, his sister and I went out to shovel off the driveway and after we did theirs, we headed over to his neighbor's house. The nieghbor is an older man, mid 50's with medical problems, and the snow plow had pushed all of the snow in front of his driveway. In the time it took us to shovel G's driveway, he had only done his sidewalk. So we went over to dig him out. Two other neighbors came over, too, so between the six of us, it only took about 20 minutes. Then we went over to another nieghbor and did his driveway, since we're all such good people. =) After G and I had a quick snowball fight, we headed inside to warm up and thaw out. I talked to Mom and Dad, who still weren't plowed out, so there was no point in heading home that afternoon. We watched some more Olympics, then took a drive to Silver Spring, then came back for dinner. After dinner, we sat around and talked for a while, then I finally headed back to Rockville. I watched Grey's Anatomy, which was SO GOOD, and stayed up way too late reading.
Today, I am tired and full (from eating SO much yesterday!) and I just hurt ALL OVER from shoveling yesterday. All I want for Valentine's Day is a back rub!!
