so yesterday i took the metro into dc and hooked up with michelle at the hyatt. we chatted for a while, then we went to georgia brown for dinner. SO GOOD. i had the sweet brown sugar pork chop, michelle had the fried chicken, which i have to say, i'm getting the next time i go there. we shared bourbon pecan pie and key lime pie, and fried green tomatoes which were AWESOME!!! OMG. they were good. anyway, we each also had 3 martinis. needless to say, we were totally stuffed after dinner and tipsy, even though neither of us ate all our dinner or our desserts, we were stuffed. we went back to the hotel and decided to stay there, because there seemed to be a lot of crazies out on the streets last night--not just us. so, we went to the hotel bar and found ourselves surrounded by sales people from the pfaff sewing machine company. are they ever loud and obnoxious. we took to calling them 'fucking pfaffers'. we had girl talk, stayed up too late, drank too much, good times. this morning we had brunch and went our separate ways. but being together made us both miss new england and wish that we lived closer.however she is doing well in minneapolis and with her man andy, and she says to say hi to everyone she knows. so, hi, from michelle!
