Big city life
I had forgotten how much I totally love living in a big city. I have slipped easily into the booted and suited, walk everywhere lifestyle and I’m only on day one of my week in DC. I feel like I’m in another country - everyone is trendily or smartly dressed…and thin! I’d forgotten that totally delicious, yuppy men who have impeccable dress sense actually exist, (quite, quite non-existent in Fort Wayne). The weather is fabulously sunny and I have a twenty minute walk to the office. I’m in a blissful parallel world. I’m staying in a delightful hotel in Georgetown. If I exit the hotel and turn right I’m on the main drag of Georgetown, complete with endless cafes, delicious restaurants wafting heavently smells and evil, enticing shops that have sucked me in with their Diane von Furstenberg dresses and Italian shoes. If I exit the hotel and turn left I’m at Washington Harbor with it’s uber-chic, ‘It’ waterfront restuarants and bars. I spent most of yesterday evening down on the banks of the Potomac, watching the rowers, getting propositioned by Arabs on boats and generally just enjoying people-watching. I had supper at a nice little Italian restauarant and enjoyed some pretty good Linguine Vongole (sadly still not better than any I had in Rome). And to complete my state of nirvana my social diary is fast filling up - supper out tonight with Vanessa; supper tomorrow at Jim and Carmen’s; out Wednesday night with Will; Thursday night with Tim…I could get used to this. Either that or it has just been waaaay too long since I had any kind of social life and I am desparately trying to quench the drought of what my life has become since motherhood.
Oh and training went great today - I even learned a few new things…
