heeheee. remember when there were big displays of free postcards in bars? i loved those things. are they still there these days? anyway…this was my favorite one of all the ones i picked up and mailed to friends. i can’t remember how old it is, but i do know that it was proudly posted on a few of my work desks – thus keeping out any unnecessary visitors. ha. i think it is safe to say i have mellowed in my age…i think. i hope. right?

DC.
i’ve been absent. i’m sorry dear blog. it has been a whirlwind the past few weeks. i’ve missed TWKT…twice. it’s not that i don’t have anything to post, because the house is full of things. i have just been…well..busy.
i was in DC for about 10 days visiting friends and guzzling water like it was going out of style. while 103 degrees sounds hot no matter where you are, it is nothing until you add in the humidity. i forgot what that was like…and actually, i don’t even remember it EVER being like that in DC. i was there for 15 years and nothing compares to the heat i experienced on this trip. i guess that could be due to a number of reasons, but honestly i think i have grown to like the southern cali weather. if only there were a true fall here, i would never leave…and if there were no earthquakes…and sales tax was lower…ok…maybe i would leave regardless.
this goes to show you how out of the loop i am – i hadn’t ever seen a beer canbottle (what do you call these things?) and was just giddy about it. my friend (and probably others at the bar) thought it was quite odd that i was taking pictures, but i truly was fascinated. (it’s the little things right?)
one of my nights there, we went to the roof of the W hotel – where the view is incredible. 10pm, still 100 degrees outside and 300% humidity (i kid you not). just after i took this, the sky opened up and there was a downpour like i haven’t seen since…well…i moved to CA. ha. but wow, the view and the city are still amazing. if you haven’t ever visited, you should…just wait until october when the leaves are changing and the humidity is gone!

i found this gem when i was cleaning out a large, under-the-bed container of picture frames. i can’t imagine why it was packed away when it should be on my keychain in case i get lost and forget my name. 
after all, it’s not like i am getting younger and my memory is getting better. case in point – i can’t remember where it came from. i think someone made it for me because i am fairly certain i don’t know how to make keychains. if someone did make it for me, they knew me very well as evidenced by the star, sun, color choice and correct spelling of my name (that’s another post for another day…). so, i am now seeking clues – anyone from my life in say 1990 – 1997 know where this came from? i have a feeling someone does.
