So, I've been in Washington DC on business that past couple of days.
Other than having a lovely dinner at Jaleo with Mammaloves, Pundit Mom, Devra, and Sarah not much happened.
No, Devra didn't do anything unusual, why do you ask?
The meeting itself is rather miserable (To me, anyway. Some people may like it. Or not.), but I endured and then went shopping.
Then I watched TV.
You people sucked me into the debate, but it's possible that I alternated it with a showing of School of Rock.
No, Jenn, not "School of His Rock", ya perv.
I debated heavily about the merits of ordering a Diet Coke via room service v. getting it from the minibar.
You'll be glad to know I chose room service, but covered up my laziness by ordering a filet mignon to go with it.
And a baked potato and spinach.
And creme brulee.
I wanted to ensure that no one would know it was really for the Diet Coke.
I had to fly into BWI in Baltimore since it was something like $800 to fly into DC.
I've never done that before, and I even successfully navigated the shuttle, the MARC, the red Metro line, and the blue Metro line.
It's not hard, but not quite as convenient as Reagan.
Took me two hours of planes, trains and automobiles to get back here to BWI today.
Waiting to board Southwest right now and get home because I'm missing Busy Girl's volleyball tournament. I think I can make the finals if everything runs on time.
I must be a freak because I really hate Southwest boarding, even with the number thing.
It's like a party icebreaker game: "I'm a 38, what are you?" "Who's 27?"
I'm a rule follower, just tell me where to sit.

I wish I wanted a diet coke. That meal sounds lovely.
Come back soon!
I'm a rule follower too, that's why I like to board like that, you know, "take turns".
BusyMom. In the future, take the Super Shuttle from BWI to downtown DC. Costs more, but worth the price. Getting back to BWI, the best way is on the train from Union Station - MARC, rather than Amtrak. When you get off at the BWI train station, there's a free bus shuttle to the Southwest terminal. (For future reference, I am an expert on cheap ways to get to and from airports that Southwest flies to from Nashville.)
I think your meal is perfect...and your diet coke so canceled out the richness of that meal!!! mmmm creme brulee.
And I do like flying into BWI more than DCA...although DCA is more convenient.
I've always thought that their boarding pass system was kinda odd, but I love love LOVE the club seats in the exit rows even if it does make for awkward "don't stare at the creepy person sitting across from you" moments..
I hate the willy-nilly seating on Southwest. I'm all about breaking rules when it is for a cause but when it comes to lines and seating just tell me where to sit and I will. I also get nervous when there is a line and someone refuses to stand it but stands next to it...makes me crazy. I don't know why.
It was so fun to have dinner with you, even though I had to use the GPS to find my way over the river to Virginia! ;)
Forget the Diet Coke with that meal--I'd have ordered a nice cabernet!
I, unlike you, love Southwest's boarding policy. That way I can sit as far as possible from crying babies and other less-than-desirable seatmates. Plus I like the fact that their flight crews actually seem to enjoy their jobs.
Darn it. Nothing unusual. Bless your heart.
At least Punditmom didn't wind up in Russia.
That spijnach made me sit right up and notice. They give you vinegar on the side (I hope, I hope).
Hey! You were here and I didn't know. :( Remember me next time please! I could have brought Violet and Jac up to see you for a few hours. I hope you had a good time, it's a nice time of year here.
