Yesterday we went to Mr. Days to celebrate Lindsay's first official day as an assistant commonwealth attorney! Super super proud of her and extremely happy for her since i know this is just what she wanted in life. =)) As one of the most genuine and literally NICE people in the entire world, she absolutely deserves it.
We caught up on life and ignored the first quarter and some of the skins/steelers game. 2.00 Blue Moons ftw. Mr. Days is always a good option. i also keep trying things you should not try at a bar and being pleasantly surprised! I've now had some sort of pasta that was actually good and a blackened tilapia fish fillet sandwich. The fish was actually really tasty! Their brunch is also very good for anyone looking for a clarendon spot. I'm sure there are better, but it's definitely a solid choice. Great for sundays with all the TVs too!
This afternoon I went to subway for lunch. Got a 6inch tuna sandwich and had a bag of chips in my hand as i approached the cashier. The guy in a military uniform in front of me looked over at me and handed me a folded up piece of paper. I first said "oh no, sorry, I didn't drop anything!" He said "i think you did, just take it." So i open it up and find a free 6inch sub with purchase of drink and chips coupon! He said he had extra coupons. The coupon was evidently a redskins deal. If they score a td you get a free 6in! Good deal for me. Anyways, i walked out with a free 6inch. First time a random act of kindness was done TO me instead of me doing it to someone. felt really nice. definitely makes me want to continue doing onto others in this manner!
Tonight I went to Stoney's in DC (dupontish area) with Catherine and Kelsey. I'm always super impressed with their buffalo sauce and surprised all over again about how much i like it. I need to put it in the superlatives section so i always remember when looking for a buffalo wing place! They had full pizza specials and they always have half price wine at happy hour (5-7). This is a really cool place with the decor. Lots of cop and firemen patches and such. Taps decorate the place too! It's kinda run down but also good food.
Tonight I came home to a fedex box! We ordered some wedding related items i'm super excited about.
these are a little darker in color in person. the lanterns will also be a tiny bit darker in color once there are candles and/or lights in them!
i love the straws! this is def a darker teal
straws will be for the seating chart 'drinks' (mango lassis and something caribbean for my family)
Since i found this awesome sale, i decided to tag on some purple and gray things for kaitlin. i figured even if she didn't use any it was not a loss! These things can be used on a porch/patio or random parties if not at the bridal shower or whatever. But i do think they'd be pretty decorations for bridal shower!
can spiff up the dark purple banner with silver glitter. was thinking one of those cute "miss to mrs" banners or something of the sort. Again, the colors are a bit more rich in person!
We bought a lot of teal, gray and pink lanterns for reception. I'm thinking of either clustering them in a certain area like over dance floor or under the tented area -- something like this:
but obviously not purple and white -- more our colors.
Sketchy also got a FedEx package of his own! We had to go to the actual fedex store for his though. He's super paranoid ever since the jersey debacle where the guy delivered to 6212 of the other street! Anyways, he was so excited about his package that he met me at the fedex store on my way home.
it's ridiculous how excited he gets about anything sport related that is delivered (jersey, tickets, etc.). Sketchy with his VT v Alabama opening game at the GA Dome (also sporting his VT shorts) tickets.
I also took a look at some GA activities for our trip NEXT WEEK!! In addition to the VT game, Jags/Falcons preseason game, Comeback Bar (was on bar rescue) which is just a bit outside of Atlanta, we've added Vortex (a place that was on Man V. Food) and the Red Brick Brewery!
Vortex has this crazy burger that is basically a burger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. heart attack.
I found this awesome deal for the Red Brick Brewery which was 11.00 a person for a tour, tasting, souvenir glass and t-shirt!
I feel this trip is for Sketchy's birthday but i'm getting to check off a lot of items. Another stadium (GA Dome) and a brewery (trying to hit 10 around the country)!
I have been really liking this song I heard on radio lately, so i'm going to share!
Some of my fav lines:
"Well we all have faith and we all have hope
but we're all a little lost in the same damn boat.
it's a helluva life, it's a helluva life"
"pennies make dimes and dimes make dollars
dollars buy gas and longneck bottles."
that random act of kindness is so sweet! And I love the wedding things, especially the straws!
