So, this weekend is unofficially (?) me and Colin's 3rd anniversary, hence the drawing of the boy. I say unofficially because we've never really decided on which date to deem an anniversary date or which milestone event made our relationship a relationship.
He suggests making my birth date (next week) our anniversary date for easy remembering. Boys.
Besides, what would happen if he forgot my birthday one year? That's shooting yourself in the foot twice.
In any case though, we met on Halloween weekend, so I guess Halloween weekend is our anniversary now. To be honest, I kinda need an easy date to remember these sort of things as well. It's also pretty unofficial because neither of us reeeally care about celebrating these things. It's been a very good three years though.
We're going away to DC this weekend though! And being a 'special event' weekend (haha) just gave us reason to actually book a place downtown. We're staying at a place 2 blocks away from the White House.
But yes, I'm pretty excited about the Rally To Restore Sanity in DC this weekend, especially with the release of the sneak peak at the day's schedule.
We're planning on making the drive down to DC from NJ early Saturday morning (4am?), and abandoning the car at one of the first Metro stations we'll hit (either Greenbelt, College Park, or maybe Cheverly or Deanwood, depending on which route we take while driving down). If we leave by 4am, hopefully we'll make it in to downtown by 9am. It's just really unpredictable, with the traffic and all. If even half of half of the estimated 100k people are driving (I imagine a lot of people taking buses, and a lot of people carpooling), it's going to be a lot of cars on the road that morning. Then again, a lot of people are traveling down Friday night. Ah well.
Also, Halloween. I love Halloween! Or maybe I just love candy. Too bad most of Halloween day will be spent on the road, traveling back to NJ by car, and then to NY by train for me.
But, in honor of Halloween, here's a quick drawing of a creepy ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life support) dummy that we have around here at work, which we use for training students. Sketch was done as I was proctoring an exam yesterday with this plastic-latex guy on my table. I used a ballpoint pen and a red exam-marking pen.
