Once You Pop the Fun Don't Stop

Greetings Blogosphere, how you doing? You look good....I think. Let's continue our Adams Morgan journey, chesssssss?

I thought this building looked super fun and cheery until I read what it is. A MATH HOUSE. Clearly it it's a slaughterhouse in disguise and nothing I will ever enjoy.

So tempted to steal one of these scooters.

Nosey me has to peep in every window I see. Does anyone else love walking around at night just because you can see into peoples apartments better? Creeper is my middle name. I keep it legal though, and stick to facebook.

This guy was parked outside of this restaurant for a good long while, he was a very good sport and very good looking.

Pretty sky!

Cool Houses!

I couldn't believe it when I looked up and all the sudden the Washington Monument was RIGHT THERE. DC is crazy like that, I swear every time I'm lost I end up at the White House...Hey, do you think that's a sign? KATIE FOR PRESIDENT.

Graffiti garden.

Looked like a quiet and reflective bus stop. Makes me feel zen just looking at it.

I would like to say I ran to Adams Morgan with this pair....I didn't. I'm thinking about wearing my sneakers out and about just so I can at least look like I worked out. Baby steps.

Roger is looking a little anxious here isn't he? It's because we were about to spin the wheel at Mellow Mushroom and he knows losing is not an option. I wanted some swag gosh darn.

And swag we got! I won a shopping bag and Roger got a hat. Woooo! Big winners!!!

There was music but no dancing!

There were also tons of lost balloons :( Anyone ever remember the second Brave Little Toaster movie with all of the balloons in space? Classic.

Adams Morgan is magical, shoes grow on street lights.

Yummy.

Why hello there pretty lady.

This is love in the making! xoxoxo

I'm off to cram in an episode of Dance Moms before I pass out! Can't wait for tomorrow evening when my weekend commences!

Drugstore Shenanigans

It feels like there is a CVS on literally ever block here in the District. This leaves me a happy lady, I absolutely adore CVS. Is it the most glamorous place on earth? Hell to the no. Is it magical? Yes. You can literally buy anything there and I love it. Need a dish scrubber and some red lipstick? No problemo! Even more importantly CVS is an essential component in my plan to beat the heat and humidity (because seriously, I'm so over sweating 24/7. I'm running out of napkins to wipe my sweaty face with for cripes sake!) How does CVS become a part of the cool down plan? So glad you asked. It pretty much boils down to this: stop in every CVS you see. Simple and effective, I like it.

 Not only do they CRANK the air conditioning meaning a quick cool down, but look at all the drinks you can choose from! Magic!

 They even sell canes, interested?

 I had a lady-date with myself last night after Roger met up with some friends last night. Also invited to the party was my BFF cookie dough ice cream, which was consumed as it should be, straight out of the carton. Sadly, this means I picked out all the cookie bits and I'm left with chocolate chip ice cream. I don't regret this.

I also invited my kindle to join me a bubble bath after putting it in a zipbloc bag. Quick poll: Am I on the only friz-eak that does this?

 I had a pretty boring day to keep it honest, but here's what I saw on my walk today:

Spuds Strike Back

Behold the disaster that was yesterday evening. I decided to make mashed potatoes for dinner, potatoes are good right? What could go wrong with potatoes? Spoiler alert: everything. I peeled potatoes like a boss (only dropping a few of them in the trashcan...eh, you boil them anyway right? Totally enforcing the five second rule here).

The water kept boiling over and making a mess of the stove so I decided I would be clever (yeah, right) and sit on the arm of the sofa closest to the kitchen (seen below in exhibit A) so I could run in like Speedy Gonzalez and remedy the situation. No big deal, I am the master of my kitchen. That is until I jumped off the sofa, ran into the table below and created a disaster zone.

RIP white lamp July 2011-August 2011, you served us well and always lit up the room. The poor unsuspecting illuminator tumbled and busted apart along with the glass vase that also sat on the table and held seashells and sunglasses. Such a mess.

Unfortunately the series of events does not cease here, when I go to detach the beaters my the electric mixer I inadvertently turn it on, WHAM, mashed potatoes everywhere, I am now wearing dinner, except its not as cute as when those naked girls lie down on a table covered in sushi, I was just a not-so-hot mess. I will forever refer to this night as Curse of the Spuds 2011, may it never happen again.

Anyway, onto the next: Today I took the metro. It was not the midnight train goin' anywhere, just you know, your everyday train going somewhere.

 I loved the look of this old vacuum store.

 Hello little kitty!

Explorer

I'm a morning person, the moment my eyes peel open I go from 0 to 60 and I am completely and fully awake. Today I sprung up at 6:00, so much for a Sunday lie-in! It might help that breakfast is my absolutely favorite thing in the world. I will go to great lengths if there are promises of toast and eggs afterwards! A girls gotta have her motives.

Today I spent my early morning going to the farmers market and moseying around the neighborhood. Living in DC makes me feel like an explorer. I walk around the sidewalks, absolutely no idea where I am going, just letting my feet lead the way, discovering new and neat things the whole way. I also went to CVS, here a picture!
