No plans

It really seemed like this week went by really fast!

I went out to lunch with the Interiors girls at work yesterday to a chinese restaurant. The food was really good, and honestly, it was the most stereotypical chinese restaurant you could ever imagine!! I even had the slight thought that the beef I was eating wasn't beef...

I've been looking at a lot of apartments lately, but nothing is working out yet. Honestly, it's so hard to find places to live up here that's under $1,000 a month. I only have a few criteria that I am looking for:

1br or studio apartment
parking available
w/d nearby
Metro or Metrobus accessible
All utilities/rent under $1,000

Surprisingly, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! I keep going back and forth, back and forth about this townhouse. I like the location, and it's really nice to be able to go to King Street when I want to, but I really don't want a roommate after Rhianna. I've had so many types of roommates in the past four years, and I think I'm ready to just live by myself for a while. That way, I can use MY stuff for once, in MY way, walk around in my underwear if I wanted to, pee with the bathroom door open (not that I would, but I could), etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Anyway, you know that silky pink shirt I got from H&M? Well, I looked really close at the fabric, and it looks almost ruined. Some parts of the material are darker than others, but it's almost in a veiny pattern. Rhianna looked at it and said, "It actually looks like it's supposed to be like that." but when I turned to look at the back, she said, "Actually, no. No it doesnt." So I guess I'm going to have to go down to the drycleaners sometime today.

Thursday night, Rhianna, her friend Candice, and I went to Dupont Circle for dinner. Since I got here to N.VA, everyone's been telling me the Rosslyn Metro escalator is smaller than the one at Dupont Circle. I don't think it is, though. It seemed like the Rosslyn one is so much bigger! We ate at a Mexican restaurant called Alero, and it was really good! It reminded me of El Rodeo, but with less Mexicans running around! It was a really nice dinner, and Candice was so much fun!! Afterward, we headed to Front Page or One Page or something to see Mauricio (her boyfriend) and his friend that was visiting from Columbia. I liked the music, but felt awfully uncomfortable at the bar. I was also not being much fun because in the back of my head, I was thinking: I need to go to bed...I want to go to bed...I wish I was home...I have to get up in 8 hours for work and we're not even heading home yet...Lame! It seemed like it took forever to get home, too! We had to wait 15 minutes for the red line train which took 5-10 minutes to get to the transfer station to the yellow line, then it took 20 minutes to wait for the yellow train, then 15 minutes to ride to Braddock Road station, and then Rhianna drove us home from there! Needless to say, I fell asleep RIGHT when we got home!

I HATE having 5 channels to watch! I wish I had more! Right now, all that is on TV is Magic School Bus and they're trying to catch a giant praying mantis! I think this was the first time I've ever had to spell praying mantis. Haha.

Today, I'm not doing much. I've been so busy lately with work and visits from everyone that I'm alright with doing nothing this weekend! I've got laundry to do, I have to walk to the bank to deposit my checks, and I need to clean my room/apartment! If I'm not going to be doing anything, I might as well not be lazy.
