Tacos and Trivia

Just another Monday, the very last of the tacos & trivia nights at 51st State until after football “season.” I have no idea how long football season is. In the meantime, it will be good not to eat a pound of greasy tacos every Monday.

On the Web

Free online classes from the American Sign Language University This may seem a weird link to have, but I have always been totally captivated by ASL translators at speeches and things. I frequently find it difficult to concentrate on what the speaker is saying. There’s something really intense and beautiful about sign language.

Co-working space in Alexandria This looks amazing to me. Once my business picks up, I could definitely see myself renting space here for editing, etc.

Wags ‘n Whiskers – Arlington Event Photographer

This weekend was Shirlington village’s Wags ‘n Whiskers event. All the fashionable doggies were there to soak in the canine ambiance. And I have no problem admitting that dogs are one of my favorite subjects. Puppies break my heart into tiny bits. Like these puppies. Just try not to smile.

If you’re anything like me, not only did you grin like an idiot, but you involuntarily squeaked out “puppies!” Doggies make me happy, even though I’m terribly allergic. Can you believe I did not pet these puppies? Impossible!

I must have just sat on a corner at this event and watched the dogs for half an hour – just hanging out, smiling at doggies. Can you tell that I love puppies? They are so small and cute and fluffy and tiny and I want to love them! It hurts, a little.
