so freaking tired - I got up this morning only because of my teeny bookclub meeting - and I have two girls that come regularly - that's it. Guess who is sick today. Grumble Grumble grumble.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Calling DCistas, and visitors to our fair city who have found fun things to do that rock...besides the obvious...
My oldest friend in the Universe is here for a 6 day visit...staying on the Hill, but not with me. Thank goodness for Cap Hill Suites just 5 blocks away.
I've prepared a good menu of meals to keep going out costs down (and have taken into account the restraurant recs previously proffered for dinners out...thanks for that!)
Now I'm looking for funky things to do. She's into quilting, so I'm looking at the Textile museum and women's museum...and a walking tour.
Other thoughts?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just got a call from the GILF
I presume that's not Grandma You'd Like to Fuck.

However, she has a meeting at 8:30, so I do not think any cleaning of non-public areas need happen. This is not "come over for dinner and then..." (damnit!)
you know, I find that's exactly when that sort of thing tends to happen. I don't clean or girlscape, and then things get interesting. Then I look like I'm playing hard to get when I'm really thinking "no, I want to get gotten, I just have dirty sheets on my bed and crap all over the bed"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's just what I was thinking, Vortex. And then I thought, maybe the smart strategy is not to clean the bedroom, but that kind of overthinking rarely works.

Zoo? Arboretum? Dancing at Glen Echo? Folger Shakespeare Library? (I had to suggest a library, although they are rarely considered "funky" unless one is describing the smell in the Reading Room during finals week.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
P-C, that is exactly what that is.

Oh, but it so IS, what it is... (She's 38. Has an 18 year old, who has a four month old)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
bonny, how about one of those bus/trolley tour things - you can travel around town, hop off at designated stops and then hop back on. There's one - they use double-decker buses - that sells tickets good for two days.
There's the Library of Congress - the old building (Madison?) was renovated/restored a while ago. There are museums of all sorts (fyi, the textile museum doesn't open until 1:00 on Sundays ... which I found out the hard way). The National Cathedral - religious or not, it's impressive (one of the altarpieces is by N.C. Wyeth). ooh! the Peacock Room at the Freer!

Folger Shakespeare Library?
She loves old books. And I'm ashamed to say that, in the 12 years I've lived on the Hill, the one and only time I wa in the Folger was for a recent funeral. Must make that visit happen while she's here.
Sadly, the Millenium Stage events this week are, well, weak...but there are a couple of interesting things at the National Geographic. Her family is avidly into bird watching and, apparently, the ivory billed Woodpecker, once thought extinct, is back in action. I'll take the opportunity to day dream, but B might really enjoy the presentation about that.
