So happy I'm fit to burst--A on my Economics midterm which took me forever to do! There are other reasons I'm ecstatic, but I think those are best left to myself and those who care.

My weekend in DC was delightful. Friday night, hit up the Q and not U show at the Black Cat which was so awesome. Totally rocked out there, without a care as to who was watching and how I was dancing. Saturday went to the National Book Festival which was quite the happenin' place... all these authors and famous people hanging around. We saw Cokie Roberts, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Neil Gaiman, and Patricia Wrede, amongst others. The last was the reason I traveled to DC--for so long I've loved Ms. Wrede's works and as a fellow Minnesotan, I've been wanting to meet her for ages. We heard her talk and then got our books signed. I even had a little conversation with her--I told her that I was also from Minnesota, she asked where from, and I said Rochester. She said she had friends there and recommended a Rochester author to me. I thanked her and walked away on clouds.

We got lots of goodies at the book fest--a free orange bag which is just sweet, pencils, a cheesehead pencil top, a potato pin, and a cowboy pin. Also! A photo with Arthur! Yes, Arthur the aardvark--damn he's one sexy aardvark, let me tell you.

Then Sunday we ate brunch at Sequoia, which was delicious: I had scrambled eggs with salmon and it came with these amazing hash browns.. sigh. Good food makes me soooo happy.

I came home to my peeps and it was lovely seeing them again... all in all, a standup weekend, indeed.
