Wow, it's been awhile. I know, I've heard it from EVERYBODY! A lot has happened, and I'll try to cover it all! And it will be in NO order!
I went to a briefing on dust, yes, dust. If you want more information on that, please e-mail me, or don't, either way, but it was an hour and a half on dust...CRAZY! (it was cool to go to a briefing though. I was super excited)
I got my intern challenge. I have to define, and find someone who has used the word "mook." If you know, please assist me. I have found a tentative definiation, but nobody who has used it. I'm not kidding, assistance would be wonderful!
We had a few "intern parties" a lot of fun was had, for details (you know, the ones that I haven't been sworn to secrecy on....what happens in DC, stays in DC....forewarning: I'll be politically vague)
Kate came up. She stayed awhile. We did a lot of fun things. She was a tourist while I was at work. Of course, we hung out and ate (and drank) after work a few times, and was just cool having someone from home to hang out with.
I went on a cruise with the family. Happy Birthday Granny and Aunt Connie! I had a blast! I'm ready for another, but you know what they say, what happens in the Bahammas stays there. Wow, I'm using that a good bit in the last month. hmmmm. Maybe I should start being good more....nah!
Sam came up! I was so excited to see her. I showed her and the other Watermelon Queens how to get to the Capitol with their Gallery Passes. We had dessert at the Hard Rock Cafe Monday Night. I also went to the WWII/Vietnam Memorials while waiting for them to get through with dinnner. I was skepticial about the WWII Memorial, but I was VERY impressed! I also walked all around the DAR buildings because I've been told that parts of The West Wing are filmed there, and y'all know how much I need to see all sorts of things from that show. 18th and Potomac, for instance. If you know what happened there, you get a prize! Yeah, I can give out prizes, I'm all about special treatment, I work for the government!
This is by no means all I've done in the past month, just the highlights. If I remember something that's pertinent, I'll try to include it in later posts, and try not to go a while between them again.
If you want more details about anything I mentioned, and aren't Granny, an Aunt, Uncle, or Parent, shoot me an e-mail.
Hope all is well with everyone. Have a great day (or month, as the case may be)
