I'm rocking some SERIOUS bangs and guess what -- I LOOOOOOOOOOVE THEM!
My super amazing girls weekend in D.C. included a much-needed trip to my favorite salon -- one80. If you're local, go there and ask for Remi. You won't be sorry!
Trip details to come (including our million viewings of a certain movie - WHICH WE LOVED!).

I really, REALLY miss blogging. But instead of unloading the 1 MILLION reasons why I've been away, I'm celebrating the half-full glass from which I'm currently sipping.
Like right now -- guess where I am. Home? Nope. Office? Kinda. I'm "working" at a dress rehearsal of The Scarlet Pimpernel. No really.
And although it's 10 p.m. (at intermission) and I'm putting in some seriously long work hours, having clients like a theatre company, a swanky day spa and a luxury resort property on Laguna Beach makes it bearable. Oh and there's my largest project as executive producer/understudy performer/writer of a rock show/musical/school assembly program for kids. Working hard never felt so good!
Then there's the shoebox, ahem, APARTMENT we call home. You'll probably remember that it's located directly above heaven:
The good news is that I have an excuse to pop in "just to browse" anytime the spirit moves me. The bad news: even if I had extra cash, I could not possibly fit one more thin whisp of cotton in my sorry excuse for a closet (believe me, I've tried.) (And so help me, Chris, I'll keep trying!)
Speaking of the apartment, I'm very pleased with our bedroom decor:
Luckily, our queen-sized bed fits perfectly into the alcove in the bedroom. UNLUCKILY, our queen-sized bed fits perfectly into the alcove in the bedroom, which means making the bed is DIFFICULT! At least I get to look up at my happy yellow shade every night as I drift away to dreamland.
Which reminds me. Before we left D.C., Chris created a hybrid of my perfect dream man: Jermaine + ROB!
Oh Chris, you really know how to win over this girl! Even after (almost) seven years...

Did you know the Wickstroms are blowing this D.C. popsicle stand to head West in three short weeks? One of us is excited, the other is going kicking and screaming (you guess which is which).
Here are the things I'll miss, in no particular order:
Working with the lobbyists on D.C.'s landmark K street.
The entryway of my office building and...
...the molding in the elevator.
My 11th floor office, with TWO windows.
Displaying annual National Public Works Week posters
The Subway next door to my office (aka my very own Cheers, "Where everybody knows my name and they're always glad I came").
And these fine people, who've hand-crafted "olive" sandwiches for meFirst I saw one of these on the Metro:
It was pacing the floor in front of me, forcing my heart to sprint as I glanced up from my book every five seconds to make sure it wasn't going to eat me. I can't remember a single word I read.
Then, I walked out of the Metro station to see one of these:
It's not every day you see 20 copcycles (cops on mo-ped/motorcycles) and suburbans filled with black, automatic weapon-clad giants. Oh and there were two cars of important people.
What's the weirdest thing you saw today?
