Life’s Happenings…
- It’s the middle of summer….July 4th aka Independence Day is this weekend! and boyfriend and I have no real definite plans. I think we are planning a tenative early lunch in Georgetown (DC) with Discojing and her boyfriend but we can’t really decide on a place and I’m worried about the “getting up early” to take the metro to DC since most roads will be jam packed with traffic or closed for the crowds and fireworks.
- Taking boyfriend to go skydiving!!!! his first time on Friday since we have the day off from work. I may go again but I don’t really need to. I got him a gift certificate as his Christmas present so we had to wait until the weather was nice to go. I got him pictures and video to capture everything so stay tuned for a few pictures!
- Text twist - currently obsessed and will spend hours on it if nobody stops me. Sometimes, I will stop playing and letters will STILL be scrambling around in my head to form multiple words.
- Went to Lavender Moon Cupcakery in Old Towne Alexandria. We got there a little later in the afternoon so there were only 3 flavors left and almost gone! We got peanut butter chocolate and chocolate chai?
The chocolate peanut butter was a little too peanut buttery and got me super thirsty. The chocolate chai one was interesting - in a good way. The frosting was light and..”pudding-ing-ly” (boyfriend’s choice of words) and the cake was ‘normal’ - nothing too special but at least it wasn’t too dry/crumbly but nothing special in the flavor itself. I need to go to Georgetown Cupcake again because it’s at the top of the ratings in all the cupcake wars and i feel like it might be over-rated just because it’s DC’s version of Magnolia Bakery. So far, it’s Hello Cupcake vs. Georgetown Cupcake. The place is tiny, only takes cash, and a little hidden away in the sidestreets with no sign! - I have to go try Pho 75 in Arlington now with all the Chef’s having it as their top 5 “bites” or things to eat in this area. Why have I never been and I’m Vietnamese of all things! I guess because most of the pho places are closer to me so I never trek to Arlington to have pho when there’s tons of other places to go to in Arlington. Will write a review for it so stay tuned.
Boyfriend and I started watching Showtime’s Dexter. We’ve watched the first four episodes so far and I really enjoy it! It’s about this guy named Dexter who works for the Miami Police Department as a Blood Spatter Analyst - visiting crime scenes, explaining what happened, etc, but he’s also a serial killer - who kills bad people (people who get away from the law and/or don’t feel remorse about their crimes). He pretends to be a normal caring human being while “harboring” this dark secret. haha. I love serial killer type stuff, puzzles, and the like. It’s not too serious like CSI and definitely not too much gore with blood and guts everywhere all the time. It has a bit of humor, a bit of sarcasm, and also a little twisty.
