top ten things to do in D.C.

2. have a delicious organic vegan meal at Great Sage
3. a trip to the International Spy Museum!! (ben would love it!)
4. visit the Museum of Natural History
5. visit the planetarium at the National Air and Space Museum
6. check out some history at the Library of Congress housed in the thomas jefferson building
7. visit the trees at the National Arboretum
8. people watch at Dupont Circle
9. catch a free performance at the Kennedy Center
10. and of course, make a stop by the White House (it's actually more complicated than that. you can't just stop by the White House. you have to request a visit through your senator or representative. i'd better get on that!)

so much for a relaxing sunday
we went to alexis' birthday party today, which was fun, despite the screaming children. she very much liked the bride dress ian and i got her, though it already fit her, which is disappointing. means she'll outgrow it in about 2.8 seconds. we drove back tonight so that we could have a day tomorrow where we don't do anything. except here's our list for tomorrow:
* pick up the lamps we're getting off craigslist.
* go look at the dinosaurs in west pasco.
* work out.
* drop by safeway and pick up an orchid, which are on sale.
* do ian's taxes.
* make a list of what we're spending our refund checks on.
* go to at&t.
ian's razr phone, which he bought a year and a half ago, is giving up the ghost. if he has it shut for long enough for the screen to go black, it doesn't re-illuminate until you turn the phone off and back on again. we're going in to see if it can be repaired, but there is a possibility that, when my tax refund comes in, we'll just replace it with an iphone. we were going to get them in august anyway, and there's no point in buying him a new phone now, and then again in august. it would be $200 cheaper in august (probably), but there's a possibility that a replacement phone to get him to august would be $200, and he'll end up with a phone he really likes. so why not?

"holy gaggle of geese, batman!"
so i was driving down spokane falls blvd on my way to pickup ben after work today. the sun was shinning through the light wispy white clouds, there was a big patch of blue sky ahead of me and i was listening to my current favorite album. needless to say, i was in a good mood. then i witnessed a most fantastic sight: two lanes of west-bound traffic were stopped in front of the river pointe campus as a gaggle of canadian geese leisurely waddled across this busy four-lane street on their way down to the river. it was so whimsical, it immediately brought a toothsome smile to my face and i giggled a little. i wish i had had my camera!(the above picture is not mine and does not count as my weekly picture.)

homage to my hips by lucille clifton
| these hips are big hips. they need space to move around in. they don't fit into little petty places. these hips are free hips. they don't like to be held back. these hips have never been enslaved, they go where they want to go they do what they want to do. these hips are mighty hips. these hips are magic hips. i have known them to put a spell on a man and spin him like a top |
