I'm baaaack!

Hello out there in Blogland! The hubs and I are back from DC! It started out a little rough when I woke up Friday morning and realized I had never flown into Baltimore before and had NO clue how to get to DC. Oops! Minor detail overlooked. The OCD planner in me was shocked I was so unprepared! After a frantic day at work, emailing and texting....Best Friend Maria to the rescue! She had taken the train in before and helped figure out the schedule. We were to take the 9:15 train to Union Station and either taxi from there or take the Metro. Easy enough right? Wrong. The 9:15 is the LAST train of the day. Our flight was scheduled to get in to BWI at 9 leaving a mere 15 minutes to deboard the plane, get our bag cause it's too big to carry on, huff it to the train station and pray we make it. Well Southwest had other plans for us, delaying our flight out of Columbus. Now we aren't even leaving until 9:30. Guess we won't be making that train. Fantastic. So I decide to call the hotel in DC and see if they have any suggestions. The woman I spoke too actually says....twice....."Balitmore?? Maam, the trains don't even GO to Baltimore" Ok. Actually they do, but thanks for being OH SO helpful. In the end we sucked it up and paid for the super shuttle. After a nail biting ride with maybe the craziest driver to date.....we did make it to the hotel in one piece.

The rest of the weekend was smooth sailing. Granted with all the rain we got on Friday we literally could have sailed, we still had a great time! Saw some sites, checked out a few museums and caught up with Steph and Fernando Saturday for my bday and their wedding celebration!

Hey shorty, it's your birthday!

Na na na na na na....they say it's your birthday! Na na na na na na it's MY BIRTHDAY TOO! Happy 28th bday to me, to me. Happy 28th bday to me, to me! This year for the big day I will be in our nation's capital to celebrate Steph and Fernando's wedding! What's better then a dual wedding/bday celebration! Since I won't have a bday hat picture this year, last years will have to do!

Weekend in DC!

Dear President Obama,

I will be in your neck of the woods this weekend. How about drinks at your place?

Cheers!

Have your cake and eat it too!

Mrs: Hun, is it too late to eat cake?
Mr: No, I'll eat some with you...

Gotta love a sugar rush after 10pm. At least I'm takin' the hubs down with me!

Meet my new BFF

Hello runny nose.

Watery eyes.

Sneezing.

Itchy throat.

Ugh. Who knew you could develop seasonal allergies at 27....I thought I was in the clear. This blows.

Woah! I have a nubbin

I did it! Well......I half did it. I officially cut the fro, but ultimately decided I wasn't ready for bangs. Pee pee steps Emily. Pee pee steps. It's weird feeling the hair on the back of my neck again. And holy cow when I pulled it back, the crazy long pony tail has been reduced to a nub. I love it! It's going to be perfect for summer!

PS Pardon the half stoned look. I had a craptastic day

The age old question

Ok. So I know we've been here before, but today brings about the same ole question. To cut or not to cut. My long hair may be having it's last glorious day today. It's summer and hot and I can't take it one more minute. I've been watching old episodes of One Tree Hill lately and I must say that Peyton's hair in Season 2 was fabulous. I can defintly go that short, it's the bangs I'm not so sure about. I promised myself at the wise age of 14 I would NEVER, repeat NEVER cut bangs again. After a torture filled freshman year of high school plauged with headbands and hair clips I vowed I wouldn't ever go through the process of growing our bangs again. So here I sit, hours before going under the knife....pondering this adorable do. I'll keep ya'll posted on what the outcome is.
