Love Cool Peeps!

So this past weekend was really awesome, and in fact it was one of the weekends that I wasn’t actually home the entire weekend. It was fun actually to be able to get out and do a lot of stuff and not worry about a thing. I mean I still think about stuff–but I guess not so much when you’re having enough fun. LOL.

My weekend started off with me and my future sister-in-law (I hope!) at Ned Divines, an Irish Pub, in Sterling. I told her that I’ve been so stressed at work because of the very few days I still have before my holiday vacation (12 days off!!!) and of course with my upcoming business travels in New Orleans, LA in approximately 4 weeks. I felt like I needed a drink or two to top it all off so I wanted to go and unwind for a while. It turned out she wanted to go so it was nice for her to have come with me and then my brother joined us later after work.

As usual, a few folks wanted to make connections with me–but I felt awkward since it was a straight bar. I just didn’t expect coming across with “one of ours” in there…you know what I mean. Anyway, some guy who I think was very attractive (and toned! OMG!) was making himself appealing but I didn’t have the gut to say anything but What’s up! Normally d-Jae doesn’t make the first move. Not sure why but that’s the way it is. Perhaps in the future I’ll change my approach. At any rate, the night ended up being awesome! Definitely going back there to catch up DJ Ecstasy with some good ‘ole music this Saturday after my job’s holiday party!

Saturday was moving day…well actually it was for my brother and his two friends. I have been suffering from stiff neck during the past week or so ever since I came back from New York. Long story but all I know is that it still hurts! Anyway, they moved furnitures all day and then after that we had good eats at Risa’s house, then we met two of their friends to go downtown to see the Christmas Tree (see below for pictures). It was really fun! Too bad we didn’t get to take lots of pictures. 10 minutes after getting there they turned the lights off on us as well as the White House. I was like Damnit! Oh, well! We had fun, though, throughout the night after all.

So Sunday we checked out the Dulles Expo in Dulles, VA with their computer/etc. liquidation sale (or whatever). Got a few things reasonably priced. It was really cool. As always I check people out (Ha!). Wanted to make connection with this dude but he wasn’t from the area…so that sucked! But, whatever! After that we went grocery shopping, had good eats (again! and I think I gained two pounds while I was over there for the weekend), then I went down to Woodbridge to see my Mom and Rob because I miss them. Spent 2 hours there then came home and did my laundry. LOL.

Busy weekend, huh?! Yes, it was and I’m still recovering from it. I had fun, we had fun, nevertheless. This weekend, though, is yet another fun and busy weekend. I have three Christmas parties that I have to attend to and one is clubbing. Not sure If I will have the energy to go clubbing but we shall see….

Here’s my horoscope for today…

Glorious influences will reverse the recent somber mood and with an emphasis on support and guidance, it will certainly be worth your while to take in what others are saying. Adopting a pessimistic angle will be counterproductive. There’s nothing to be lost by listening, but much to be gained!
