No Wetsuit Girl does Capital City

I'll be spending this weekend in DC visiting some family friends with my mom. I'm hoping to get to run around the city where our country's biggest decisions are made. Don't worry, I promise to behave myself! I'm hoping to go on a run and see how many famous monuments I can hit in one morning.

Also on the agenda: I'm coming to the Big Apple! I'm meeting up with some friends from California the weekend of November 30-December 2. So far all I know about the trip is that we're going to be staying "somewhere in New York" and that we're going to see Phantom of the Opera. I hope I get to meet some New York bloggers like Renee, Michelle, and Satan (although I could never keep up with the fallen angel if we were to go running).

So story time will be back soon. In the meantime, here are some exciting developments and recent observations:

1. I got a bike trainer, which took me a good half hour to put together (it's got 3 parts, including my bike). Now I can do two of my favorite things at the same time: ride my bike and watch CSI. One problem though, I have to turn my TV up to full volume to be able to hear it over the whirring of the trainer. Oh well, I think my parents can deal.
2. I've been running in the cold. I can't feel my legs by the time I get home, and I think that's fucked up. This is how people get hurt!
3. Daylight savings: I would just like to find the guy who invented streetlights that turn off when there aren't any cars around. I want to have just a few words with him. Most of those words will only have four letters in them.
4. They have the Total Immersion book and DVD at my library! Too bad I still don't have a pool. More to come on this topic as well.
5. It's too goddamn cold in my house, it's too goddamn cold in my cubicle (there's a draft so strong it blows the blinds around!), and it's CERTAINLY too damn cold outside!
