Fun-Employment, Chronicled

I don't know if any of you have ever taken time between jobs. I hadn't before last week, and I can now say with certainty that it is a great idea. Speaking as someone who has juggled a blackberry for nearly 6(!) years, handing it in and walking out of the office without one for a whole week was downright liberating.

I spent the first few days of my week off being productive -- doing laundry, running errands, shopping, etc. But then by mid-Wednesday, the desire to lay on the couch and binge-watch Netflix set in, and I finished the entire first season of The Killing in 2 days. (P.S. Anybody else watch The Killing? I MUST KNOW WHO KILLED ROSIE LARSON.)

Once the weekend rolled around, the reality of going back to work set in. To celebrate my final few days of fun-employment, we did it up big this past weekend:

1) Single ladies, take note. Once you co-habitate, your Thursday nights may turn from normal sipping-wine-watching-tv-eating-dinner to "We bought Cranium, and I don't care if it sucks, we are finishing the wine and USING IT EVEN IF IT IS JUST THE TWO OF US DAMNIT."

Triceratops.

2) Friday night we checked off an item on my DC bucket list: make it to Acadiana's Friday Crawfish Boil on time and gorge yourself on seafood. Check. 

Beignets

3) Saturday we had tickets to see Tracy Morgan at the Warner Theater. Neither of us had ever been (or really knew about its existence) so we were pleasantly surprised to see how classically beautiful it was on the inside. The show was absolutely hilarious to boot. 

4) To cap off the weekend, I took SK on his maiden voyage to H-Mart.

For those of you unfamiliar, H-Mart is an Asian grocery store chain that also sells American products. What this means is that you can get ANYTHING YOU WANT (and it's usually half the price of a regular store.) They have produce I've never even heard of, plus seafood and produce up the wazoo. At one point we actually had a woman take us under her wing and lead us around the frozen foods section, throwing her recommendations into our cart. We now have dumplings to last us for months.

How was your weekend, readers?
