Hi Hil! Welcome back to DC. Are you getting into the swing of things?
Pretty much, yeah. Still haven't unpacked all my suitcases yet, but I'm working on it. Plus, discovered the new Trader Joe's that finally opened, so there was much rejoicing.
And, vacation ended up a bit more like DC than I'd planned. Turned out W was in K'port at the same time that we were, so I was complaining about Secret Service and motorcades blocking traffic all the time there, too. (And there, they don't just block street traffic. They also block river traffic.)
Neighbor lady then came out and said, "Do you want me to have them move them?" as I was dragging my groceries down the street and up my driveway. I refrained from say, "WTF! Of course I want you to have them move them" and just said, "yes" and refused to look at her.
I would like to think that even if I was so oblivious as to do that, my response would at least be "OMG I'm so sorry we'll move them immediately and help you with the groceries!"

Really? Where? I wish they would have done something like this 15 years ago. The Watergate Safeway is only a grocery store in the loosest sense of the word.

Heh. I find myself complaining more about motorcades and "OMG! Get the hell out of the way of this very important member of Congress (that nobody knows the name of)"-attitudes now that our office has moved to Capitol Hill.
Hi megan!
sj, I personally would have unleashed hell on the woman, but that's just me. Your way keeps you out of jail.

That's because you've actually got a soul.
Really? Where?
25th, between Penn and L.

Well let's not get crazy.
You do know I hate people, right? I mean, hi Maria!
I'd call the cops first thing. Next time, anyway.
(Also, when you said you were trying to figure out who does this sort of thing, I totally thought you meant who does the towing.)
Apparently, when vw gets REALLY drunk…I mean, TRASHED…she flirts shamelessly with anyone in sight. But the best part? Apparently she flirts in a Southern accent.
This sounds fabulous!
Puppycat is still pissed that Kittenish is back. She is being such a bitch, not like a puppy at all. You know how I always kinda wanted her to grow up? I don't like it. Hissy little bitch.
Kittenish seems to be doing well. She's eating and happy to be home and really annoyed that I am giving her meds twice a day. It's marvelous.

Why didn't anyone tell me you changed your name to Angel? I'm always the last to find these things out.
Yay, Cass!

That's too funny. I can
totally
see that.
In Pissed-Off-Cat-related news...know what appeared on our front porch today? A Roomba. Drew found a deal on a refurbed one on amazon, and couldn't resist. It's charging right now, and Mia is already circling it suspiciously and slinking out of the room.
Tomorrow evening when it is fully charged, the comedy will begin.
