Not a lot going on besides it being a Monday. I did hear a good phrase today:
Be who you are becuase everyone else is taken.

Sunday in Maryland
Today I adventured to College Park to celebrate Founders' Day with the two local ADPi chapters.
A few things
1) It was like 93 degrees here today and despite my airy billowy skirt and top I still looked awful once I got to the chapter
2) the girls were very unwelcoming and rude
3) there was zero organization
4) I met an Alum who was an Alpha Theta as well from a few years before me
5) I am still deciding if going to this ADPi stuff is worth it
But it was a good use of a Sunday and made me realize again how much I love my chapter (despite some of the hiccups of anger and frustration about certain topics).
Once home I went to our rooftop and laid out in the sun (I am pretty burned from yesterday and not having sunscreen) but I wanted to soak up some vitamin D before the work week. I made a great spinach and onion quiche and then headed to the gym for a extended work out since I am very frustrated right now.
Not to elaborate and get all debbie downer on here. But in essence I am tired of not having the support I feel I deserve from certain people. For those of who I talked frequently to, I am sure you know where this is coming from. But I just get angry when I feel like I am fighting through my emotions alone, because that is not how it should be.
But needless to say the workout calmed me down and I am enjoying a glass of my Colonix tea before I head to bed for the night! Hopefully work won't be too crazy this week!

A Perfect Saturday
Yesterday was absolutely blissful!
To start Alex and I finally woke ourselves up at a decent hour to go to the Alexandria Farmer's market held in the town square. There were a lot of vendors with fresh fruits and veggies, baked goods and fresh made pasta! We did do any heavy shopping since we really hadn't planned any meals and didn't really need a whole lot. We did pick up some luscious strawberries that I am going to dip in chocolate for a sweet treat for tonight after dinner. I definitely plan to go back t pick up veggies and hopefully bouquets of flowers when I have the money. We did buy some pastries that were delicious and served as a great late breakfast. We then wandered into a few stores on King Street and finally ended up at Starbucks for some frappicinos which we drank on the pier and got to watch darling little kids feed the ducks.
Later in the afternoon Ben came out to Alexandria to pick up his suit from J.Banks and then we went to a great grocery store and picked up some mozzarella and bread. We also discovered Sofia Minis....great for a day in the park. I plan to drink these frequently this summer!

After some wine and cheese Ben and I laid out in the grass for a small, nap/lounge. People watching became distracting however and we got caught up in watching a family of three.
We then wandered to the torpedo factory to check out some of the art galleries. After a full day I dropped Ben off at the metro and went home.
Alex and I later went to see a movie and then once home I proceeded to pass out on the couch while watching 20/20.
It was a wonderful Saturday!

A Little Chat
Yesterday was rough. I am on a steep learning curve with a million things being thrown at me. I am trying to be good humored but I also feel like I am constantly failing at work and life right now. Looking for a little time to unwind when I got home I skipped the gym today to watch Miss USA and then head to bed early. However home didn't turn out to be so stress free.
Luckily I was able to have a much needed phone chat with my lovely sister. We don't get to talk much which is heart-breaking. I really struggle with feeling so separated from my family. But we had a good little chat.
And I am more excited than ever to be drawing close to the start of my new title: Auntie!!
And only would my fashionable sister find the most darling diaper bad. Seriously I would carry this thing as a purse. It is fabulous and classy!
