end of the DC trip

thai food in thai town. Korean BBQ While in DC we ate really good! Had Thai food in Thai town. Burgers at Hard Rock. Korean BBQ in the mall. Desserts at Trivoli. I'm missing it already. (These pics were all taken by my LG phone) Thats it for our DC trip!

the white house and hirshorn museum

Don't mind the unclear White House pics. It was very rainy that day. While in DC we visited the White House and Hirshorn Museum. The Hirshorn has three floors filled with exhibits. Each exhibit appeals to your senses. Sight, sound and touch were the most appealing. I loved the sight and the boyfriend loved the light exhibit most. There was a blue plastic string piece, you walk thru it, and as others are too you get smacked in the face with the stings. I was not excited about it. In the light exhibit were many scultures that incorporated neon lights. One that was the boyfriend's favorite was the room of lights. You walk thru and each room has a different color. In each room is either heated or cool depending on the light. Kinda interesting. In the sight exhibit were paintings and sculptures to look at. Nothing too wierd. However there is this box! You look at it in different sides. Each side has a different effect of reflection. For instanc...

arlington cemetery

Our second day we spent some time in Arlington Cemetery in Washington DC. President JFK and Jackie O were buried there. A military cemetery, many members of the armed forces and spouses/widow/child may be buried there. On Memorial day the American flag is placed at the grave sites. We were there to see the changing of the guard. To find more info on that you can go here . 

cherry blossoms and friends

It was a beautiful day in DC at Franklin Roosevelt Memorial. The cherry blossoms were magnificent and we got a glimpse of the President's helicopter. Our old friends came to have dinner with us. We picked up right where we left off like old friends should. I even met a new friend who I have a girl crush on now! The boyfriend and I thank you all for coming to spend time with us! Now for awkward and awesome Monday!! That awkward moment: -having no place to sit. find one. man takes it. I'm left standing there with no seat now. -after walking 4 miles in 85 degree weather (soaked with sweat) then meeting someone for the first time. "I'm sorry to meet you like this, but I hope you like me" Ha! -when you are shopping and looking at something. turn around. your group is no where in sight. oh shoot! - when you sing the wrong part of a song with confidence - the creepy dude's voice over the intercom at the metro station. why can we not get a cheerful lady ...

Now I can see that we're falling apart

Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say I want it that way Do you guys know these lyrics? -Backstreet Boys! Soon I will be on my way to DC playing 90s hits. Ha! From Nsync to Britney. I enjoy singing at the top of my lungs to old hits on road trips. Makes it so fun. You can laugh, but I guarantee i'll be laughing at myself too. ^_^ outfit details: Jeggings: Target Blazer: H&M Scarf: gift 

weekend review

This past weekend the family spent time in Hanes Mall and the West End shopping. Oh it was such a beautiful day to shop and walk. Take a look at my great finds - psst it's a lot of spring/summer accessories!  I am doing some "spring cleaning" from my phone too. I have not seen fun dip candy in a long time. Made me so happy. The boyfriend bought me a knit set so I could knit some cool gear! Here are some photos that you have missed out on.  

makeup monday: color clashing

Eyes: Revlon color stay quad palette in violet haze Lips: Revlon Color Bursts in true red Awesome & Awkward (as seen on the daybook) Awkward: - Sitting outside (resting on lunch break) and having the sprinklers go off on you. Loud grunts. Turn around. Maintenance man just staring. Evil eye staredown. I gave in. - Making eye contact with someone you dislike & then turning away quickly. (sarcasm)Yea they didn't see me. - When you're trying to end the conversation by taking a few steps back. Maybe nodding the head will end it. And they get on another topic. *sighs* I'll be here forever. - When you're sitting at your desk talking/laughing with someone (who is hidden behind their desk) and then your boss walks by. Boss- "Lisa who are you talking/laughing with?" . Now the boss is thinking, this crazy girl. No lie he said "crazy girl". Ha! (BTW no HR issue here. He's an awesome boss ^_^) Awesome: -Spring weather feels like Summer weathe...
