Best. weekend. evah. (I'm from Boston now).
I started my Friday evening with a Gals Guide DC happy hour at Lauriol Plaza hosted by the lovely brides-to-be Heidi and Liz. Then I met up with a ton of DC bloggers at Reef. Debauchery was had, but I won't go into details because what happens in Adams Morgan stays in Adams Morgan. Isn't that the way the saying goes?
Even cooler, (sorry guys), was the fact that I found an apartment I AM IN LOVE WITH. It's near the ever-classy Potomac Ave Metro stop and is practically over the river in Anacostia, but they just got a Harris Teeter! And it's a one bedroom! With a yard! And I can ride my bike to work! And it's about 100 feet from a McDonalds! All in all, the perfect abode. I'm going to drop off my application and checks at the real estate agent's this morning. I know I'm the first to apply, but I just have to hope that they find my finances and credit score sufficient to get the place. Pray/cross your fingers/eat Oreos for me!
Aaaand finally, to wrap up my awesome weekend, I freaking rode bikes with Owen Wilson. Back story is sort of irrelevant, basically he is in town making a movie, some of my bike shop friends helped him out with getting a bike for while he is in town, and they invited him out to our ride that we do every Sunday.
I didn't get a picture because we wanted him to feel comfortable and relaxed, but it did happen. He was much more fast on the bike than I expected and I had a really hard time keeping up - the group eventually dropped me. Yup, Owen Wilson kicked my ass. When I finally caught up to the group, I said something super-suave to him like, "Owen Wilson, you just put me on the pain train." He laughed. Overall, he's a pretty subdued person, not much to say. But whatever. I rode bikes with him and refrained from asking to touch his nose. Good times.

I would've asked to touch his nose but I'm classy like that.
I am so glad we finally got to meet!!! Friday night was definitely awesome :)
So so glad to hear about your apartment...I'll keep everything I can crossed for you...Even my legs!! ;)
Let's meet up again soon!! But maybe minus all the alcohol? xo
Weird. I was crocheting with Charlie Sheen.
Hi, it's me, Totally Jealous! I LOVE Owen and his nose. His voice is really what gets me. He can say anything and it's funny. Glad to hear you had an awesome weekend and got to meet up with bloggers. Never done that yet!
Congrats on the new digs! Lovely to meet you on Friday. <3 But probably not as lovely as it was for you to meet Owen Wilson. Amazing.
Congratulations on finding an apartment that sounds so perfect! And congratulations on meeting Owen Wilson...I don't know if that really warrants congratulations, but I may as well keep with the congratulatory theme.
Yay for finding an apartment that you totally love and for taking a ride with Owen Wilson... so cool!
you are too cool!
That's awesome about the bike ride!! I was riding around the ballpark Friday afternoon looking for action, but didn't find much... What shop do you ride with?
ohhh won't you be my neighbor!!! You'll totes be in my 'hood!
Hopefully many more happy hours in our future if that's the case! :)
If you didn't touch his nose, how can you be sure it was real?
(Read: I'm totes jeal!)
That's so cool that you biked with Owen Wilson! Haha. And I'm so happy to hear you found an apartment that you love! Fingers crossed it all works out!
It was amazing and a half to meet you and soon I'll be able to add one more to my wolf pack.
Too bad we weren't the coolest people you met this weekend, but Owen Wilson takes the cake any day- do you know what's the name of the film he was working on?
That is so exciting that you found an apartment. I will cross my fingers that it will all work out!!
Wow, that does sound like the best weekened ever!
Darrin invited me to join in on the ride. I am always impressed with his customer service and yesterday really displayed how skilled he is by pulling in Owen Wilson on their group ride. Bonzai Group Bike Ride Rocks on Sundays!
Congrats on the apt!
Totally jealous about your riding with Owen. He used the pool at the camp I worked at so I got to talk to him once when it was closed, definitely not as exciting as biking together!
totally more jealous that you found an apartment you love than that you hung out with a celebrity. but still jealous of that.
congrats on the new place. i'm sure it will work out.
