Other than work, I've been doing nothing pretty much! Anthony got me to try playing Zelda on Wii, and it's been interesting. There have been moments in that game that go by really quickly, and others that take me FOREVERRR to figure out!! Haha. I enjoy it, though, especially when I'm trying to get the hours to pass by on a boring weekend.
Tonight, Rhianna, her boyfriend Mauricio, and I went to the Burger Joint for dinner. We ordered at the registers easily, even though it was packed inside. The soda machine was AWESOME!!! I've never seen anything like it in my life! It was completely digital, and there were a ton of choices of soda on the front screen. Once I pressed "Coca-Cola," six MORE options popped up, including vanilla coke...cherry coke...orange coke...etc. I chose vanilla coke, of course.
We sat down, and it wasn't long til they both got their food. I sat patiently waiting for my food, but...it never came! Rhianna and Mauricio finished, and I decided at that point to go ask where my order was. Turns out they lost my ticket!! I was alright with this, but Rhianna was outraged!! Mauricio said, "You need to get a refund." I didn't want to complain to them though, so he said, "OK so get a chocolate milkshake instead." I went to the manager with Rhianna and simply said, "Do you mind if we get reimbursed with something since I never received my food?" The woman said, "OF COURSE!!! Name it!" I said, "I would like a chocolate milkshake, please." and she turned to her people and yelled, "CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE! NOW!" Hahaha!
It only took a few more minutes for my fries and hamburger to be delivered to me, but the hamburger came without my bacon! It wouldn't've been a big deal IF I hadn't paid a dollar extra for it, so I went back up to the counter and asked for my bacon on the hamburger that never came to me in the first place. The men said, "Oh my gosh! We're so sorry!" and they plopped a TON of bacon on it for me. They actually put extra on the side! I finally got to sit down with my extra food, and gave the milkshake to Rhianna and Mauricio to share because I hadn't eaten yet. Besides, the milkshake looked waaaaaaaaaay too chocolatey. (The syrup didn't look like it was mixed into the ice cream in other words.) The food was good, though, and seeing that amazing coke machine is enough for me to want to go back! ...I'll probably end up going to Five Guys instead, though, since it's closer to my townhouse...and they've always been reliable and delicious!
After dinner, we came back to the townhouse and played Wii. Rhianna was slowly getting the hang of playing the video games, bless her heart, but she did have a lot of fun which is the important part!!
Anyway, here's some good news, I think! So now that I have that permanent position, I'm stressing about getting a permanent place to live in for the next year (minimum). I've been sending inquiry after inquiry to ads, people, and realtors but nobody's been able to help me at all yet. Fortunately, though, a girl emailed me about potentially living with her in August, and she sounds really nice and responsible. She's looking to live in Rosslyn, like me, and wants to live in a nice complex with a pool, like me. She's a bit older, which is good for me, and she's been in the area for a few years, which is good too!! Hopefully something will work out soon. I'm hoping to commit to something by July 1st, whether it's a person or an apartment! Keep your fingers crossed!! I think this sounds like it could turn out to be a good accommodation for me...
Check out this townhouse down the street from me! It's tiiiny!
I also remembering mentioning in an earlier post that I thought the Dupont escalator was smaller than the Rosslyn one. Here's the Dupont one:
I also thought I would share a few pictures of a few of my favorite people in the whole wide world:
Ava at her T-ball game!! Looks like such a natural!!
Happy happy Grayson when Mom and Dad went to Charleston to visit!
ADORABLE Evie!!!! Check out that dimple!!
Check out Lilly's eyes - gorgeous!!
Drew's new haircut! WHAT A STUD!!
Here's a shot of all of them (minus Miss Ava)
I think it's amazing to see all the kids interact with each other. This last picture just demonstrates how gentle Drew is with the babies. Ava is the same way, and I think it's adorable to see them be so caring to the little little ones! There's a precious picture of Drew and Ava holding hands at the Graduation party, but I think Linda still has it on her computer. It's too cute! ...I should get that from her soon!
And since I'm on a baby picture craze right now, I'm going to brag about how cute the babies are in Anthony's family as well!!
Conner has such a sweet smile!! What a cutie!
Nora, of course, has perfected the on-cue smile technique and I'm loooving her cute hair!
AH! I love babies! I can't wait to see all of them again! I'm headed to Baltimore July 2-4, and I get to spend two whole days with Lilly and Drew!! The weekend after is Grandpa's memorial in the Burg, so I'll be spending time with babies I've never met before (should be interesting), but I also get to see Ava the entire weekend!!! Maybe she can show me her hot t-ball moves! I'm not sure when I'll get to see every other baby, but in the meantime, pictures are perfect!!
