My mom’s birthday week finally ended on Friday at Kazan Restaurant (Turkish Cuisine in McLean). I think she was more thrilled for it to be over than anyone else, haha…. Being “24” and partying all week is difficult! I had some amazing Doner Kebap, which ended up being a pretty large portion, so I’m having the remainder today for lunch, YUM!
Since Derek had a “guys night” on Friday, I woke up on Saturday morning by myself at my house, which I thought would suck (and it kinda did), but then I realized I was going to be able to get A LOT done that day… and I definitely did! I woke up early, took the dogs on a walk, went to the gym, went tanning, got my nails done, picked up Caitlyn and we went to Ulta for some shopping, got a haircut, and then went over to my dad’s to play with the kiddos AND do my taxes! I did all of this before 2:30pm, might I add ;) After leaving my dad’s, I went home to shower, and then I drove to Derek’s to hang out for awhile. We ended up going to the mall where I got a few things, which felt so nice, since I hadn’t bought anything for myself in awhile. After eating some Chipotle, we went back to my place to pick up Caitlyn again and we three went to Cold Stone to indulge in a tasty treat. We went back home and CRASHED hardcore, lol. It had been a long day for me, and Derek was probably still getting over his hangover so he needed more rest.
Sunday morning, Derek and I woke up early, got ready, and headed to Eastern Market in DC. I’ve just got to say that I absolutely LOVE it there! I want to go back so bad, but next time bring my mom and probably Caroline, cause I know she’d love it also. It reminded me a lot of when I used to visit my Granny and Meemaw in Tennessee and we’d go to the flea market, or annual 127 sale… just a bunch of people selling their own crafts/foods/antiques… it was a beautiful day to go, also… temps were around 59 degrees. Derek surprised me with a very pretty necklace from one vendor, which was very sweet of him… what else is new? I got my mom a picture as well as some jams.. and I got myself a picture also, I just need to get a frame for it now.
After leaving Eastern Market, I was on a natural high from the amazing weather and didn’t quite want to just go home and lay on the couch, so Derek and I decided to go play “miniature golf”… NOT putt putt, as I found out.. but “mini golf”.. apparently putt putt is a company? Who knew?
Anyway – mini golf is closed until March…. Stupid.
So instead we stopped by Petco and they were ironically having a an ADOPTION FAIR! Hello! Puppies and doggies everywhere! I loved it! I held a bunch of puppies and kissed them, played with them, fed them… it was so cool! It made me want to get one so bad… and then Derek gave me the honest truth about how it’s like having a baby… your entire life pretty much revolves around the dog. He is right though, I definitely remember when Matt and I got Bailey and Morgan we were tied to them as though they were our children. We couldn’t stay out too late because we had to be home at a certain time to take them out, feed them, etc. Well, at this time in my life I do NOT have the patience for that kind of responsibility… especially living single. So… a cat it is! But wait… then I found out Derek is allergic to cats. What the heck? I’m currently exploring ways to rid my house of cat dander so when my boyfriend comes over he doesn’t blow up like a balloon and sneeze himself away.
So anyway… after our adventure at Petco we stopped by the Turkish store to pick up some soujouk, feta, olives, grape leaves for Derek, candy, etc. It makes me so happy knowing Derek likes Mediterranean food… definitely makes things much easier! Once we got back to my place, we took Shyla and Zeva on a walk with Caitlyn… I think Derek was extremely close to picking up Z and throwing her in the lake and leaving her ass there lol…. In his defense, Zeva is a very stubborn dog, and does not take direction very well… at all.
Basically - I had an amazing weekend. I got so much accomplished, and I got to hang out with people that mean so much to me. What’s even better news? Today Caroline and Zach (along with Kaos, Zuma, and Bielsky) begin making their cross-country trip back HOME! Thank goodness, because I’m craving a visit to the Leesburg Outlets.
Side Note: I’ve decided (after many lectures from my boyfriend) that I need to watch my mouth .. with, you know… potty words. I don’t even know what it is really, they just slide out of my mouth sometimes without me even realizing it; but obviously everyone else DOES notice it. So, if you know me, and see me on a regular basis… please do not hesitate to inform me when my language reaches rated R. I even give you permission to give me a little punch on the arm…I’ve got to rid myself of this unattractive habit. I wish I could understand how it even started, but now that’s no use… I just need to FREAKing stop it. ; )
