How it got to be May of 2015, I am not really sure. My next check-in for my 30 before 30 list is rapidly approaching, and I'd better get busy if I want to cross anything off. In the meantime, there's been plenty of other things keeping me busy. Thanks as always to In Residence and Gold and Bloom for hosting this monthly link-up!
My past few weeks have been consumed by writing and working on the layout for a big report at work. The report itself was supposed to be concise, so we moved a lot of things to the appendices, which are now over 100 pages long. No matter how you divvy it up, it's hard to condense a year's worth of work! Apparently it is also hard to produce a draft without any typos. Several people have reviewed the document several times, and we're still finding typos. At least each revision is getting us closer to the final draft!
All of the mini-adventures, bike rides, delicious dinners and general camaraderie Keizo and I have had over the past three months while he's been here. His departure next weekend and return to communicating via FaceTime are going to be rough, but we're hopeful we'll be hearing good news about his visa soon.
I had (unrealistically) high hopes for a pair of jeans I ordered online to replace one of my favorite worn out pairs, but as with most of my online apparel shopping, they didn't quite work out. Oh well, this just adds to the list of reasons* I need to get myself to NYC post haste: to try on jeans at Uniqlo.
A long weekend out of town with my family at my cousin's wedding next weekend. I am really looking forward to seeing my brother and parents, and weddings are always fun.
Several new local restaurants this past weekend during the "Taste the World in Fenton Village" event. About two dozen local eateries had small tasting menus, and visitors earned a stamp at each restaurant visited. I enjoyed this event for several reasons:
- We spent most of the afternoon eating, which is one of my favorite things to do.
- In between eating, we sauntered in the glorious sunshine.
- We tried several new places I'd never been to/didn't even know about, all within a mile of my apartment.
- While well attended, the event/restaurants weren't crowded. Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on cool things by not living in the heart of DC, but not rubbing elbows with strangers next to you at restaurants definitely has its appeal.
* The other very good reasons to visit NYC include visiting friends and crossing an item off of my 30 before 30 list.
