Merry Christmas!

Snowpocalypse 2k9

So it snowed two weeks ago. And it was fabulous.

In total, we got a little over 20" in Arlington. I'm pretty sure that is more snow than I have ever seen in my entire life. Of course, there was the blizzard of '96 which got me out of two entire weeks of 5th grade, but Brian has reminded me that it was mostly ice. Plus, this storm shut down the entire Federal Government (except the Senate who was snowed in to work on the Health Care bill - bahaha) and my office, which is way better than a snow day in elementary school.

Being the genius I am, I decided to invite myself over to Whitney's house so we could be snowed in together and watch movies and eat Rum-Tum-Diddy (Whit was appalled to learn that this is not a known food, and that her mother, in fact, made it up. It consists of tomato soup, cheese, and crackers all mixed together to make a cheesey tomato-y delicious dish). Between servings of RTD, we ventured out in the snow a few times and I was able to snap some pictures. I have also stolen a few from DCist...

The above and below pictures, as well as the one at the top of this entry, are from DCist.

...pictures from me will come as soon as I upload them from my camera...

free, you say?

Tomorrow, I will spend most of my day convincing everyone I know to come with me to the grand opening of the new M Street location of Georgetown Cupcake for 1 free cupcake!


I know cupcakes were the trendy dessert of 2009, so to celebrate the most delicious trend ever, I will be trekking down to Georgetown during lunch with Erica and Kacy to wait in line for our free cupcake. At over $2 per perfect confectionery masterpiece, getting one for free is nothing to scoff at. Of course, I will also be venturing down on December 22 to pay full price and take a dozen home for the holidays. Mmmmm...I can taste the red velvet already...
