My name is Catherine. I used to live in Washington DC. Now I live in Arlington, VA. This guy is my husband. We're married. This is a very informative site about bears and bear-related issues. My Muxtape

A case of the Mondays.

Things that are not cool today:

- I had an upset tummy this morning, so I didn’t eat my yogurt. And because I forgot to put that yogurt in the fridge, I can’t eat it at all now.

- I’m scheduled to be in a super annoying meeting from 2:30 - 5:00. What a terrible time for a meeting. Technically, considering I got here a little before 7 and haven’t taken a lunch, I could leave at 3. However, I’m sure getting up to go home for the day only a half an hour after the start of the meeting would look really bad.

- In the last hour, a really nasty sinus headache has erupted in my skull. WHY??????

- This made me kind of upset. Tom and I met some humpback whales around this time last year. I wish CNN wouldn’t put sad animal stories on their front page.

I am seriously entertaining the idea of taking a sick day tomorrow.

The Jonas Brothers are here! OMGWTFLOLZ (via minaka)

Not sure how this started, but there’s a hearty collection of graffiti on their tour vehicles. Good thing they’re not rentals…or are they?

I shot this photo on Sunday evening.

I wrote “There are 4 Brothers!” on the bus. Some girl wrote WHO CARES underneath it.

I don’t think any of my brothers noticed. Then I listened to Metallica on my iPod and played Nintendo DS.

Look, I stayed silent for the entire summer about this, but I can’t keep quiet anymore. I REALLY HATE THESE SUNGLASSES. What’s worse is that they also come in red and white. Hideous.

Lauren Conrad is public enemy number one in my book right now. Those stupid Ray Bans, that ugly shirt and black skinny jeans. STOP IT, LAUREN. You have done better.

Hahahaha!

Our gym blasts “world class rock.” I wish they would lower the volume.

This is a little gem my brother found on YouTube. It’s CBS’s 50th Anniversary special that aired in 1978. This part of the special was where they announced all the stars who performed on CBS shows. I was still three years from being born, but I watched a lot of these shows growing up (thanks Nick at Nite!). It’s pretty incredible just how much real talent CBS had back in the day.

Fun fact: my friend was taking a late train from NYC back to DC a few years ago and as she was going to her seat, she walked past Ed Bradley (RIP). Rather than just silently acknowledging him, she stopped and said “hey! You’re Ed Bradley!” To which he responded with an uninterested nod and went back to reading. I’m on Ed’s side with that one. It was like midnight and I think the poor guy just wanted to get where he was going.

Hello Cupcake!

Ugh! The location in Dupont Circle is a short walk from my old apartment on Connecticut Ave. It opened almost right after I moved. That was probably for the best. Because if I had a cupcake bakery next door to me, there was no way I would have fit in my wedding dress.

CakeLove was also not that far from my apartment (okay, kind of far), but I never had to worry about craving those. I would go as far as to say that CakeLove’s cupcakes are disgusting. Dry and flavorless. How do you mess up a cupcake??

I have high hopes for Hello Cupcake. Tom, maybe we can do dinner in Dupont this weekend? Check out my old hood? Dessert at Hello Cupcake?
