Shammi has had way too much attention lately...the dog has had a six-year-old girl, a nine-year-old birthday boy, and two loving college students to play with.
Becca has also rather enjoyed the visits.
:)
We have been all over the place - Newseum, Archives, Museum of Natural History, Capitol Building, etc.
We also went for absurdly good food - pad thai at Thai Roma, steak and ravioli at Amici Miei (fancy Italian where Dad took me for my birthday), and delightful homemade brunch today.

Home Alone
Franna and Leila (my hosts) have headed off to Israel for the summer...so the puppy and I are home alone!
Not for long, though; family friends are coming to visit on Tuesday!

The end of an era
"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" hit movie theaters yesterday...marking the end of an era. My friends have repeatedly said "I feel like my childhood is over."
Amy is coming to stay the night and we're going to see it Sunday morning. She saw it at midnight, but is up for seeing it again...so here we go!

BRUNCH
Has humanity ever come up with a better idea that brunch? I think not.
This morning was a rather fantastic morning. Woke up and read some political articles on the Middle East. Took Shammi for a run. Took a shower. Made brunch.
What was for brunch, you ask? I shall tell you!
Apple strudel bread, French toasted in eggs, nutmeg, freshly-squeezed orange juice, and orange zest, topped with strawberries that have been soaked in orange juice and organic maple syrup. And then scrambled eggs with nutmeg, freshly-ground pepper, freshly-squeezed orange juice, and orange zest.
Sensory sensation, baby.
The problem with Sunday brunch: You automatically feel the need to nap afterward. Even when you have an insane amount of work to do.

Birthday Weekend!
My apologies for having not posted in several weeks…life got crazy! And then the blog server went down and I had technical difficulties trying to post.
Last Sunday was my 21st birthday. Mom, Dad, and Granna came to visit in DC, and we had a marvelous time! Toured the Air and Space Museum, visited the Zoo, had a scrumptious birthday dinner and bottle of wine, and watched the fireworks on the Mall. Thanks for visiting, beloved family!
