Date Night

Last night I met my friends Jake and Katie in Downtown Silver Spring to see the much anticipated movie Date Night. First of all, each and every preview before the movie looked REALLY good. No joke.

Before getting to the movie I sort of knew what to expect: some funny moments, some suspense, etc. What we got was just the right balance of funny and suspenseful (and gratuitous scenes of Mark Wahlberg sans shirt). I would actual see it again in theaters.

Cafe Green

Today I lunched at Cafe Green in Dupont with Katie...this is the meal we shared: Sweet Potato Gnocchi.

Cafe Green is an all vegan restaurant. The dish was pretty good, and definitely did not taste vegan. With that said, I couldn't get past the knowledge that the cream sauce wasn't made from actual cream. Every time I took a bite I got a little freaked out.

Call me picky, but I like what I like and most dairy products are pretty high on my list.

To make up for the lack of milk product in our lunch we got some fro-yo at Mr. Yogato next door.

I highly recommend Cafe Green if you're either A) vegan or B) not as picky as myself. I also highly recommend Mr. Yogato if you're into delicious guilt-free desserts.

Does this mean I can eat sushi and learn about my future?!

YES!

Desiree Rogers no longer has a job, presidential gatecrasher Michaela Salahi does: She will be one of the new “Real Housewives of D.C.” Also in the works: A Salahis tell-all book.

When last the public saw Tareq and Michaele Salahi they were refusing to answer questions from members of a House panel about how they got into President Barack Obama’s first state dinner.

Today, the Daily Beast has confirmed from two sources that the so-called White House gatecrashers, whose prank ultimately cost presidential Social Secretary Desiree Rogers her job, are poised to take center stage once again as the most visible members of the upcoming Bravo series “The Real Housewives of D.C.” After one of the most visible reality series auditions in history—yes, Bravo cameras were on hand as the Salahis arrived for that ill-fated White House event—the couple has now been fully embraced as the focal point of the series, expected to premiere in July.

South Moon Under Bethesda Re-Opens!

Today, South Moon Under Bethesda had their grand re-opening party. I picked up a brand new pair of gold Jack Rogers Navajo sandals (see the previous entry) and coveted many adorable bathing suits and summer clothes. The gorgeous models showed off the outfits and accessories beautifully and the music in the background (plus free bevvies and snacks!) made the atmosphere super fun.

I would have hung out longer (they had some very enticing door prizes from Red Door Spa and Balducci's) but my partner in crime couldn't join me. One can only browse/try on summer clothes in March for so long without becoming depressed, so my Jacks and I peaced out.

Seriously considering hopping into a tanning bed right now...

Nothing comes between me and my Jack (Rogers)s

After talking about getting a pair of Jack Rogers Navajo sandals for the last year (ok, maybe two...) I finally broke down and bought a pair at South Moon Under Bethesda's re-opening party.

Looking at them is as fulfilling as eating a Georgetown Cupcake.
