Haute in L.A. to DC and Back Again
Hey all!!! Did you miss me? I certainly miss blogging. I was going through some serious PC withdrawal. But Capital Hilton charges $17 and hour to log on so…I got back from DC safe and sound around 1 am yesterday and hit the ground running. I was as tired and groggy as ever but still made time for happy hour with Giselle last night!
I’ve got LOTS of stories to tell, reviews to give (not all good either) and blogs to post, so get ready. Here’s a little numerology fact line from this week’s past:
25,000+ - Number of people registered for the conference
100,000 – Number of guys and gals that didn’t pay to register, but came to party and hang
3 - Number of cousins I hadn’t seen since Christmas that I saw in DC
2 – Number of best friends (1 BFF and one BFT) that I hung out with
11 – Number of actual meals I ate while in DC/MD/VA
8 – number of days I was there (you do the meal math – I’m HUNGRY!)
1 - Number of waiters that I saw steal half the bill money, charged an extra amount on my card and ended up getting fired for being an idiot
7 – Number of fellow hometown natives and high school alum I got to see (some of which I hadn’t seen in 13 years!!!!)
4 – Number of clubs I went to
4- Number of times I danced all night long (and am now paying for in my nether regions)
4 – Amount of men that came up behind me and tried to grind on me at the club
1 – The one whose grind I actually liked
12 - How many DC/MD/VA men fell in love with the Hauteness in a week’s time
3 – Those that made the cut and I plan to keep in close contact with
6- Number of men that tried to get “personal” with me on this trip
1 – Man at the top of my DC list (not that we got “personal” or anything…)
1 – Number of men I’ve made plans to meet in Vegas in September
1 – Man (with the most beautiful smile ever) that will just so happen to be in LA on “business” for 2 months - hmmmm
2 – Number of drinks I had with midday meals
Priceless: The memories, shopping, fun times, reunions, new friendships, old friendships renewed, mini romances started, sisterly love shared while on my trip
