On my way home from work, I got off the metro at Union Station to visit with my friends George and Kelsey!!! I can't even tell you how amazing/weird/good it felt to see familiar faces. The hugs were so so so needed.

This weekend, I am DEFINITELY going to go out and about. National Mall, try and find a thrift store or two, scope out the handbag of my dreams, etc. I was telling Christophe how weird it feels to be more or less alone here, but feel very happy. I think that's a great feeling.

"I think you're great!" I started off 2011 saying that to someone who is, in fact, pretty great. 

Watching snow fall outside my window = beautiful. Walking through said snow = not so beautiful, but okay with the right music (Fleet Foxes):
