or maybe it was more like 6.2?
Laura and I have been actively hitting the Craigslist scene again in search of armoires, vanities, and an assortment of other moderately priced items for the house. However, our most recent purchase was a $10 pair of full bed sheets in anticipation of buying a full bed for the spare room. This of course assumes that we'll have guests sometime in the next year. A pick 'em right now according to the Vegas line.
It was a nice day on Friday so I figured, 'hey, why not walk to pick them up.' It has been a few weeks since I last walked the city so I took a deep breath, strapped on my backpack, and hoofed it the 2.9 miles from my office at 441 G street NW to 1536 D street SE. To give you a general idea of what this walked entailed, I went the 8 or 9 blocks south to D street SE and then the 20 or 21 blocks east. Despite sweating profusely the woman still agreed to sell me the sheets. She probably figured that my hygiene could use the cleanliness that comes with new sheets. The joke is on her since the sheets aren't for us.
The walk was so nice that I chose to walk the 15 to 16 blocks back to North Capitol and 19 to 20 blocks north to our house. All of this for $10 sheets...and I suppose a healthy heart.
The sheets look nice but we still have no bed to put them on. We'll keep all of our lovely blog reading fans updated.
I apologize for my recent apathy in posting updates to the blog. Things have been hectic lately and I have not been feeling particularly creative. Perhaps if I start drinking more coffee...
