It's Like I Never Left....

Well, I am back in Khartoum! (I know you guys -- and when I say guys, I mean Liz, Justin and Jason -- were all waiting with baited breath for me to return...or at least the people in my head told me that you were - and I kinda like to go with what they say...because they're scary!)

SO, I had a really great vacay with Josh - went to visit his family and then to Boston for a long weekend - but have been banned from blogging about the trip (like that's gonna work)....however, in sum I give you the following:

-- I ate waaay too much on my vacation! SO, I have now started a diet (again) and have vowed to exercise regularly. As such, it is not a good time to piss me off (RIGHT PAUL!?) Suffice it to say that I'm not a very friendly person right now.

-- I drank waaaay too much! We stayed at this really ritzy hotel in downtown Boston right off the commons. They had a wine happy hour for guests and we (and Minoy and Theo) attended said happy hour. (It was FREE WINE PEOPLE! I had to go! It would have been rude!) I'm not positive what happened after that, but apparently (according to Josh and Theo) Minoy and I met this man who was staying there who claimed to be a plastic surgeon (although I kinda doubt his claim because he was waaay too nerdy - totally NOT Dr. 90210) and then we hounded him for botox, lipo and adderall. Josh said that at first he thought we were all charming and witty - and then I believe it quickly digressed into two crazy stalkers demanding Rx drugs. I think the hotel might have asked us to not come back.

What?

-- I spent waaaay too much!! When we finally returned to DC, we found out that our bank stopped our credit card because they assumed there was credit card fraud going on. When I saw the statement and realized we had spent like $300 for a stupid dinner (but boy howdy! That was really yummy!) I considered claiming it WAS fraud. BIG FAT FRAUD...but I didn't (mostly because Josh was there).

AND and our return flights were delayed so I spent many hours in airports around PEOPLE - and you all know how I feel about that - GOD I hate other people!

However, I did take this picture of the Mass State house. Now I realize that Mass is a very progressive State, the first to allow Gay marriage (yaay! -- Yes! you heard me mom and dad! I said YAAY) however, I'm not sure I can really support that they have a special entrance for this. I mean, it just seems to be a bit too much in your face! (And yes, I am immature. We've already established this long ago. No need to comment on that!)

(I suspect that guy is waiting for the hookers, but I can't prove it....)

AND a pic of the view from our hotel room - there was another view of the park on the other side, but my photo turned out to pretty much be a picture of my reflection taking a picture. I am not sure how I did that; however, the view from the room was pretty fab. Josh has good hotel taste!
