It is a nice place and you also have very nice roommates. Oh, have lots of fun with arguewithatree . It is always nice to be able to splurge. I paid off my credit card with my tax return and with my bonus I am taking my crush out to a high-end sushi dinner, and then the Baltimore aquarium the next day. I am looking forward to it. It sounds like you work for/with great people - and have a great work ethic besides. Congratulations on all of your hard work. I'm really happy for you! I was actually in DC to visit another friend a while ago and I thought about hitting up my DC Hubski friends, namely you, but I wasn't there for long enough except to go to a dinner party my friend was throwing. Another time though! As for the bruise...Still, really no idea. I tend to get inexplicable bruises when I've been drinking. This time, I think I may have hit my hand on my car door or something. I really am curious though. :)
