English Nerdiness in Washington


Eating Lebanese

Andrea is here this week for a librarian-type conference, so she came out a day early to hang out with us. Yay! We had the type of Saturday that two former English majors should have, including a tour of the Folger Shakespeare Library and a visit to Politics and Prose.

We did a couple things that were less nerdy (but still quite fun!), like paying our first visit to Eastern Market this year and, of course, introducing Andrea to Lebanese Taverna. Again it was supposed to thunder and shower on Saturday, but, again the rain held off until we had dropped Andrea off and walked back into our house. Perfect.

It did pour down rain on Sunday, but after a day of sun (and even a little hint of scary humidity) and walking, it felt pretty good to curl up on my favorite chair with a good vampire story and read the day away. This activity (reading the day away, not reading vampire stories. Oh, but have you read "Dracula?" You so should.) has become habit again lately, ever since I stopped doing homework a few weeks back. It is really nice not to have homework hanging over my head...even if it should be, well, hanging over my head... Don't worry, tonight is the last class of the semester, so one more night of faking it and I'm home free.
