Loooong weekend.

Hey guys. Sorry I have been out of commission! Gone for the weekend and then out sick yesterday. All is back to normal now (unfortunately) and I’m back to work.

• Lots of stuff going on. First of all, Leon has been working like a madman taking photos for the gym. I’m doing a website for them and he is my professional photographer. Best of all he works for pizza & beer from Tranny Hut since I’m not getting cash off this gig (free gym membership). I love him. The website should be up in the next two weeks.
• I am speaking to a graphic design studio class at ODU. Very weird to be asked to speak in front of college students when I was one myself just a little over a year ago. I’m honored though, hopefully I won’t talk a million miles a minute and sound dumb.
• Kyla’s eye is much better. We go in today for the final checkup. In other Kyla news, I found a new dog behaviorist that I’m going to start working with on a regular basis. My mom’s brother is coming for Christmas and bringing kids, and my goal is to be able to have Kyla around them (hates kids currently). So we will be doing doggie boot camp soon.
• I have a ton of knitting and yarn to show you guys. One of these days I will get organized and photograph it.

So, this weekend I went to DC to visit Miss Genevieve and shop and meet some of my online friends and shop some more. Fall is in full effect and I was really loving the foliage the whole way up. I tried to take some pictures (so safe while driving). Doesn’t do it justice.

When me and Gen get together we always forget to take pictures of ourselves. But at least I took pictures of the weenie.

Ahhh what it’s like being around nice dogs who don’t send messages with their teeth.

Except when you come too close to the crate. I was trying to get the snarl on camera, but I was too slow for this doxie. We tried to go to Ikea, but there were lines of traffic for miles in both directions, so we didn’t visit that particular hell. We went to Georgetown instead and I spent an embarrassing amount of money at MAC and Lush.

I love Lush. I want to eat the whole store. Speaking of eating, we went to a cool Mexican place where they make fresh guacamole at your table. I loved it. We tried to have a late night sleepover Sex & the City party, but I fell asleep at like 10:30. I’m a GREAT sleepover buddy, huh?

The next morning I went to meet up with some of my online friends from one of the craftyish messageboards I frequent. We had lunch at a place called Cafe Salsa in old town Alexandria. Sooo yummy. Then we hit up this really great yarn store/fiber workshop place. They are a non-profit fiber arts school and teach spinning, weaving, knitting, felting, etc. classes. They also have gorgeous yarn. I bought things.

Someone at the shop took our picture (there were more of us but everyone abandoned since we were taking years to wind all our yarn). She had a little trouble focusing the camera. I was like, let me retake that, homegirl didn’t focus.

As you can see I did a much better job.
