Requisite Work Anecdote

Boss, upon coming back from lunch:" I just saw Matt Frei outside the building!"

Which means two things:
1. My near four and a half year streak of not seeing Washington-famous people in the street continues.
2. THE BBC WASHINGTON OFFICE IS VERY CLOSE TO WHERE I WORK.

This morning, while dressing for work, I wondered if I was veering into Hel Looks territory (I doubt I could). Instead, some lady complemented me on my skirt. Of course it was something my mom had picked out.

Querying LJ Hive mind:

Anyone ever made drapes/insulated version of drapes? We have a LOT of windows, especially downstairs, and I'd like not to put my entire paycheck towards heating.

FLASHBACK!

That was also the semester I wrote about pregnant teenagers in Alaska. (!!!)
