So it’s 11:30 pm, and i have one more day of work before a five-day vacation. I should be packing so we can leave as soon as i get home from work. Instead, i have wasted the evening watching TV and playing bridge online. It was a lot more fun than packing, i’ll say that!
I watched the first disc, two episodes, of HBO’s True Blood. I love it. I have to say i think the lead vampire, Bill, is a LOT sexier than the Edward that was portrayed in the Twilight movie. The chimistry between Sookie and Bill and amazing. Sookie Stackhouse is a great name, too. I’ll have fun with that one.
We played online bridge with another pair we know, one of whom is a world-class player. I probably shouldn’t presume to question him. However, he offered one suggestion for our defense, which i’m not sure i agree with. So i did ask a question. A damn good one, in my opinion. Instead of an explanation of why his suggestion would be better, he simply restated it in a different way. Not helpful, yet who am i to say so?
I’ve spent a couple of weeks trying to find a way to avoid paying $30 per day for parking while we’re in DC. I had this elaborate plan that involved parking in the suburbs of Virginia and riding the metro, late at night, to the hotel. Problems with this plan: a) riding the metro late at night could be scary, b) a metro ride would be at least an hour each way, c) leaving my car unattended in “long-term parking” sort of says Please Vandalize Me, but more pressingly d) the metro stops running at midnight, and i’m not sure when we’ll get there. I guess we’ll pay for parking.
I have drank Diet Sunkist pretty much since i got home from work. Maybe that’s why i’m so jittery, and blogging instead of packing, or better yet, sleeping. It is the best drink, ever. (Well, at least the best non-alcoholic one!)
Did you know they make low-fat ice cream sandwiches? They have hardly any calories and only count as 2 Weight Watcher points. Except when you eat three of them.
I wonder if i’ll be able to convince myself to exercise during this vacation? I’ve never made myself do it on a bridge trip – there never seems to be any time. Yet i’ve been highly exercise-motivated lately. We shall see.
I guess that’s enough random crap to share with the world. (-:
