things and stuf

Let the countdown to relocation begin.

No - I don’t have a job yet, I’m just getting out from this crappy apartment.

I’m going home next Thursday to drop off my mom’s car and hang out with my parents (of course), then on Saturday my parents are shipping me away. I can’t wait.

So, now that I can see an end to my time in the DC area, I went on one last* Georgetown photo adventure this afternoon. I’ll miss my DC photo adventures. Unfortunately, today’s outing turned into a “buy random things” adventure. I fail.** Overall, I was happy with my purchases.

First, I ended up at Dean & Deluca - the store/market I want to love, but can’t afford to. I did about 3 laps around the market before settling on 3 items:

1. A sun-dried tomato baguette. I thought it would go nicely with my pasta dinner. I’m not sure if I can eat all of it by Wednesday… but I’ll try.

2. A 1/4 pound of Tanzania Peaberry coffee beans. Sure I already have coffee at home, but I need to balance out my Latin American coffee with something African. Plus, Murky doesn’t sell coffee by the 1/4 pound.

3. The Kombucha Wonder Drink. I actually went to the refrigerated section looking for the weirdest drink I could find… this is what I came up with. It’s definitely nothing like anything I’ve ever tasted and I still don’t know if I enjoyed it.*** If it didn’t cost $3, I’d buy another one tomorrow.

I was proud to only have spent $10 in Dean & Deluca. That place ain’t cheap. Eventually, I wandered over to Baked and Wired, where I heard they serve the best strawberry cupcakes. Little did I know, they also serve Counter Culture Coffee. What a treat… cupcakes and coffee!

FYI - the cupcake was pretty delicious. It actually had real chunks of strawberries in it. CakeLove doesn’t do that… On the other hand, I think I like CakeLove’s icing better.

All in all, it was a fairly successful day. Maybe tomorrow I’ll take another photo adventure and take pictures outside of my apartment.

———–

* That probably won’t be my last visit to Baked and Wired - I was told to return so I could try a carrot cake cupcake.

** I fail because all the pictures (with the exception of the espresso) were taken after I returned from my “adventure”. Lame.

*** Oddly enough, I’m experiencing a strange burst of energy right now. I think it’s because of the drink. I think the back of the bottle says something about being “energy-enhancing”. Crap.
