Frozen Yogurt

Leave a Comment

This summer, when the stress of the office got to be too much, we’d go for food.  On some days we’d go to Specialty’s for warm cookies..but other days we’d go for frozen yogurt.  When I was younger my dad would get me frozen yogurt at the Y after my swimming lessons… but i hadn’t had it in years before this summer.  But I quickly became re-addicted.  My standard was plain yogurt with fresh blueberries.  If I was feeling a little down, i’d do plain with chocolate chip.

Since I’ve been back from SF I’ve done pretty good with my withdrawal symptoms… but not with my jones for frozen yogurt.  Frozen yogurt is better than just about any frozen treat.  It’s not too sweet like ice cream and i swear it’s not too cold like ice cream tends to be.  Instead it’s a smooth, tangy goodness… but it’s also suspiciously scarce in DC.  I’ve spent a good deal of time scouring Yelp for suggestions to no avail.  On a whim I googled frozen yogurt today and came up with a place… decent reviews, decent prices… I’m on it.

Tangysweet in Dupont Circle was a winner.  Reasonably priced, fresh toppings, annd so yummmmmmy.  I was in heaven… even did a little dance.  I even let B have a spoonful but i don’t think he was impressed.  Either way, I’ve found what i needed and I’m sure i’ll be there often.  If you’re in DC and looking for some good frozen yogurt I suggest you give it a go: Tangy Sweet

oooo and Time… (c) Boy George

I coulda sworn that just two weeks ago I was packing to go to Cali… apparently time flies when you’re having fun… or just living life in general.

I’m well into my last fall semester, the MLB post season, and i have less than a year before the BIG MOVE.  While I’m tentatively excited about it all, I can’t help but worry about what the economy will do to my job prospects.  Since I’m not in the top 10% of the class I don’t have one of the cushy jobs in a law firm paying $160k waiting on me… which is fine since I never wanted that life.  It also means, however, that I will need to be creative when it comes to my job search.  Add to that the fact that I’m not particularly interested in being a “lawyer” leads to quite a bit of a dilema for me.  That being said, I’m not particularly worried about the job search either.  Perhaps I’m being naive but I genuinely feel like things will be ok.

I’m also working to plan this wedding… er *my* wedding.  I’m not the girly girl type by a longshot.  But since this is really kind of a wedding/going away/graduation party I want to it to be something special.  I’ll feel a lot better once I have a caterer and a location locked down.  I hate the anxiety associated with wedding planning.  I’m not interested in doing anything but showing up and having fun… but, since B is anti-destination wedding, I somehow get the “pleasure” of throwing this thing together.

Other than that I got some health things going on that i’m not feeling too good about … but like everything else, I’m trying to stay positive.  Only time will tell

Let’s Get Back to Business

2 Comments

So one of the few things that I like about Fall in DC is that a bunch of events start to pop up and it’s not so miserably hot and muggy that you want to end your life. 

There’s an “In the Artist’s Studio” with Phonte next Monday…
Then Reb Bull is doing an event on Tuesday featuring Wale and producer Nottz.
I’ve also got a trip planned to NYC to check out Death Cab for Cutie show at Radio City Music Hall and a bunch of other side trips lined up.

One of my main goals for my last 8 months here in DC is to try to capture the city as accurately as possible with my camera. I have LOT of work ahead of me… Wish me luck

… and im back

It seems like it’s taking forever for me to get readjusted to life in DC.  Perhaps it’s just further proof that I’m not supposed to be here.  I’m doin all tht I can think to do to make sure that in May 2009 I will be blogging about packin up my shit and heading west and NOT about a bunch of regrets.

This summer was definitely an amazing one.  The experiences that I had in San Francisco reaffirmed my decision to make the bay area my home after graduation.  I’m not sure how long we’ll stay there but I definitely want to be there for a decent amount of time.

School is back in full swing and I’m feeling a bit of stress.  There’s a ton that I need to get done, on top of working full time, and I haven’t quite figured out how to properly motivate myself.  That’s the scariest thing about the future to me, figuring out how to motivate myself to accomplish the things i want to accomplish.  I am my own worse enemy and I need to learn to fight that.  If I want to be successful, I need to make it happen… otherwise all of this is for nothing.
