Apparently My New Year’s Resolutions Did Not Include Posting More Often

January 10, 2008 | Filed under: DC! DC! DC!, Is She Still Talking?

I keep thinking, Today. Today will be the day I write about what it’s like being back in DC. But then I’m busy condo-hunting or grabbing drinks after work or snuggling my friends’ babies or having brunch or going to the grocery store or picking up my car from its $15-oil-change-turned-$500-tune-up.

So. That’s what it’s like being back here: utterly, blissfully normal. This is not to say that everything is perfect. For starters, real estate is still far too expensive. A girl should be able to sell her kidney in order to get something nice. Here, a kidney only gets you a closet. You want the bedroom attached to that closet, you’d better be willing to part with a pot of gold, one lung and maybe your firstborn child. Which is good, actually, because where would you put that child in a 500 square foot studio? That’s what I thought.

Also, I’m having trouble driving — Friday night it took me 40 minutes to get somewhere about 18 minutes away. It’s not that I’ve forgotten how to drive, but I no longer remember where all the streets intersect or what neighborhood they’re in or what the name of a given street is. I instinctively know I want to turn left at that light up there, but I don’t know why and I can’t tell you what street it is I’m turning onto, nor what direction I’m facing once I do. Please do yourself a favor: do not ask me for directions.

Of course, there are things I miss about California. Avocados, for one. (She says while eating grocery store guacamole. SO not the same.) The weather. Being on the ski hill in under two hours. My friends. I thought I was done with having friends who live 3000 miles away, but apparently not. Sunlight. Being able to stay up for the end of a Monday Night Football game.

Despite all this, it’s pretty good being back on the East Coast. Yeah, I think this about sums it up:

    and, of course, Welcome Back!!! you were missed :) 3 floors away is much better than 3,000 miles

    Your Norcal friends miss you too!

    I do have to tell you that at the moment, and for more than a week now, there hasn’t been much sunlight for you to miss. So there’s that.

    I am crossing my fingers for you on your condo quest. Email soon!!!

    Have you showed the bank your shoe collection? That’s got to be worth as much as a healthy kidney! Glad to see you dug yourself out long enough for a post. Everything in its own time. You sound happy to be back. Yeah! BTW, the avocados are alive and well and enjoying themselves in my salad. :-)
