Ahhh, Woodbridge. It’s good to be in a normal place.
So Saturday night we got here. Kristina and Mike were very hospitable and fed us steak, baked potatoes and green beans. And wine. Oh yeah, lots of wine. I think Kristina and I had a bottle each. Ooops. (Okay, I know we did.)
Sunday was football day. We went to a sports bar near Kristina’s house and cheered for the Saints and the Redskins. Yay, both won! We drank lots of beer and ate bar food. This time, we each had a pitcher of beer – Kristina, Anne, and I. But hey, football games are loooong and the beer was light. Then we had ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery and then we went home and crashed.
Yesterday, George and I went to my sister’s house and waited for a mattress for her. Then we drove to a Metro station and took it into town. Walked around Georgetown. I went to Paper Source and Sephora. Oh, love!
After that, Kristina picked us up and we went to a bar called the Galaxy Hut where we got free beer (refugees!) and they played Morrissey. Oh happy times for me, though everyone else was suffering. Then it was on to an Irish pub where we played trivia for a few rounds and ate fish and chips.
My dress is never going to fit again. Ha ha. Only kidding. On Sunday, I found where I can run around Mike and Kristina’s house. A park. Very nice. But very hilly. Hard for this flat-land girl.
I got my afterparty dress. It fits perfectly, but isn’t very flattering. But it may be too late to return it. So we’ll just see. I am sad that it makes me look like a lace-covered block with normal arms and legs. And anyway, we’re not having a real afterparty now that the wedding is at night, so when would I wear it? Sigh. I guess it’ll go on eBay.
(PS: An afterparty is just an excuse to hang out more after the wedding. That’s all.)
