ahh, weekends.
we had a great day for customer service on Saturday. It started with a trip to Galyan's (the wonderful sporting goods store), where the salesperson was wonderfully useful, and even got us free shipping on a new ellipse machine for me (and now I might actually work out, since I don't have to leave the house to do so). We stopped to visit Becca, my now-pregnant friend who has been my best friend for 10 years now, hung out and chatted a bit, cleaned, and then headed into DC. We had dinner at a nice, but still pretty casual place attached to a hotel, where our server was also wonderful and friendly, and served the wine correctly and so forth. Finished off the evening with 'Song and Dance' at the Kennedy Center with Alice Ripley, which was much better than it would've been were it still Bernadette Peters, as it is on the soundtrack. Ripley has a much cleaner voice, and she's little and cute :)
Today has been mostly sitting around, cleaning, knitting, and watching movies on TV (Never Been Kissed, She's All That, and Pretty Woman) as I cleaned and knitted. Dog got a bath, I made a german oven pancake for breakfast (so easy! melt a whole lot of butter in a glass pie pan, mix together 1/2 c each milk and flour, add 2 slightly beaten eggs and a pinch of nutmeg, add egg-milk-flour-nutmeg mix to pie pan, bake at 425 til fluffy, serve with powdered sugar and lemon), had falafel and homemade french fries for dinner... all around good, lazy home day.
