1) There was an earthquake near DC today. Some of my coworkers felt it. Whaaa???

2) As if being super freaking hot and sweaty and fumbling around with my suitcase for my flight to KC wasn't bad enough this morning, the metro train I was on had to off-board after some of the doors wouldn't shut, then the door next to me opened. The door without a platform on the other side.

3) Speaking of commuting - tourists, what the HELL are you doing on the metro at 8a.m.??? STAY. AT. YOUR. HOTEL. Seriously. There is a reason that the tourist metro cards start after 9a.m. - because there is no reason for you to get on the metro before then.

4) Doing dishes right before you walk out of the house in the morning because you realized you will be gone for the weekend and, oh, this is actually your mess from dinner a few nights ago and it's starting to stank and dammit! well, it sucks.

5) I've had a recurring dream that I'm screaming at someone (same person each time). Telling them exactly what hell I think they are destined to reside in. Rather than be disturbed by this, I see it as a chance to refine my talking points.

That's a whole lot of negative shit. Let's switch gears.

6) SO excited to go to KC and celebrate the engagements of some of my favorite people - even if I've slacked and haven't posted pictures and stories (ahem - Melllllinda!) I'm super pumped to celebrate with Shea  (!!!!) and the other newly engaged (including Mr. Perfect's brother!!).

7) I attended a French maid race this week, and when they called for volunteers (they supplied the outfits) I did not step forward. Shocking. Growth.
