I'm Back

Today I walked over four miles in dress shoes and a pencil skirt.

No, I'm not training for some twisted business-themed race. Not even close.

At the end of my long day, as I found myself trudging uphill in the pouring down rain, barefoot and leaving bloodstains on the pavement from multiple open blisters, holding a blown inside-out umbrella and trying in vain to shield my brand-new purse from the water, I couldn't help but laugh.

I had a lot of time to ponder what I would like to say to the people in charge of making Naturalizer's so called "comfy shoes", the good folks at the umbrella company, the adhesive specialists over at Band-Aid, the geniuses who determined the location of a certain metro stop, and whoever decided to make it rain at 4:47 pm - but in the end, I only have words for an old friend:

Dear Washington, DC,
I'm Back.
Watch Out.

Me and Meg. So excited to live with her.  And yes, there is  now a Cafe Rio in DC.
It is now officially the coolest place on earth.
