My morning

I slept through my alarm clock the second time in two weeks; which made me late for work... WHAT IN THE WORLD! I mean, I have one of those fancy, Sharper Image alarm clocks, and it doesn't wake me up!!! Guess I'll go to CVS tonight and get a new one.


So, I head off to work, 15 minutes after I'm supposed to be there. And for those of you who don't know, I have a lovely walk to work. I walk past the Capitol, Supreme Court, it's just very pleasant. Well, not this morning. I was just so mad at myself for being late, fuming when I can't do anything about it. Well, as I'm walking, a dog decides to take a poop on the sidewalk. Right in the middle of it! (Senate side for you Hill people). Right as I was walking by. So I'm thinking "is this really going to be ONE OF THOSE DAYS?" The owner just said "when you gotta go, you gotta go!" I look at this black labs face, and it looks back as if to say "I'm cute, its totally fine I'm taking a big ol dump on the side walk, really lady, you should get over it." I swear, I busted out laughing!


So that put me in a better mood (as weird as that sounds). So I'm walking along, and I see a gaggle of tourists riding on Segways. Black and pink Segways. Now normally I see these people, and I think "how pathetic." Can't you just walk? Is it that hard?" I mean really, to be seen on one of those is just on the crazy side of embarassing. I also think about The Jetsons, but that's another thing. So today I thought, well that is actually a very smart mode of transportation, especially for tourists. Walking around this place can be exhausting. Kudos to whoever came up with this ingenius idea for people touring our Nations Capital!


So weird, this mood I'm in this morning...
