My mom was in town today and we took a trip to Eastern Market. It's an area in DC that has local arts and crafts, as well as a farmers market. The main building was burned down last year sometime and it was a pretty big deal for DC, since this market has been around since 1873. I've only been once, about 2 years ago, with my friend Toby.
We braved the metro (still a big event for my mom) to get to Eastern Market. We spent a lot of time walking around and shopping at the vendors tables. I got a cute little purse (most of you would probably think it's horribly ugly) but I tend to like the occasional really ugly accessory. You know how sometimes an ugly accessory can actually be really cute? Yeah, I'm going with the "it's so ugly it's cute" theory. We shopped until the vendors packed up and we had no choice but to leave. My mom is a professional shopper.
My path through the world: stories, travels, rants, thoughts, and whatever else comes to mind.
So this is me.........

- I'm a geek, I mean an engineer, by training, but I also love the artsy side of things. I take pride in my geekiness (took me many years to get to this point). I grew up dancing and also enjoy the theater, crafty projects, and travel. I have 2 wonderful kids (dogs) named Georgie and Izzie.
