i LOVE my phone. i went without it for a week and realized how much i took my 2-year-old beat up cell phone for granted. note to self: do not forget phone charger when packing to go out of town for a week. i missed it so much i almost bought another one (couldn't find a sprint store around though).

i worked in chevy chase this past week, and..... at times, it was confusing.. tiring... frustrating... torturous.... but then again, it was fun at times... even pampering. the torturous part was mainly because my client's office building was surrounded in all directions by stores like Cartier, Ralph Lauren, LV, Jimmy Choo, Saks Fifth, Banana Republic, Nieman Marcus, Lacoste, Jcrew, Ann Taylor, Gucci, and Blvgari. you'd think 13-hour work days would prevent me from shopping, but i surprised even myself. i took some of my lunch breaks to indulge in my femininity and did a bit of damage to my wallet. not a lot though, really.

frustruating was because i was supervising 3 new hires.... 2 guys straight out of college, mike and mike, and 1 31-year-old who has too many questions, alex. mike and mike kept a tally of alex's questions all week. i remember on wednesday at around 6pm, the tally was at 39 just from that day. guess who had to answer all those questions. lucky me! the guy just doesn't get the hint!

anyways, i better go for now. i hear the garage opening, which means my sister is here with my nephew, and i haven't seen him all week. can't wait to see how big he got.
