Trippin': Washington D.C. - Crepe Amour

3291 M St NW
Washington, DC 20007

My trip to washington d.c. was very up and down. Even before i went, there were little issues that came up but were quickly solved. I'll get into more detail about my ups and downs later but for now, my first meal in dc. It wasn't until after I booked a hotel in georgetown that i realized how inconvenient that location was from downtown dc. My plan was to initially find this grilled cheese food truck but after riding the rail, then the bus, then some walking before even reaching our hotel, I was veered off my itinerary and suggested we walk around the busy area and find a place to eat. That's how miss flower child and i ended up at Crepe Amour. I had the margherita with chicken and flower child had the supreme. That girl really likes her meat. I loved the crepe here cos they leave it on the griddle for a really long time so that the crepe actually has a nice light crisp to it. Whether or not that is the correct way to make a crepe, it's how i prefer it so happy girl i am and so was flower child.

Big poppa and I finally managed to make some coffee shop time. I think it was mainly due to the amount of paper work that big poppa has to go through and there's just way too many distractions if we were to stay home. Mainly, the big comfy bed. It's actually not that comfy but it's familiar. Instead of helping him I played online. No shopping. I don't really shop online unless there's something specific I'm looking for. I had a moment A.D.D. Every two minutes I switched from editing pics, writing a blog, writing another blog, finding music, listening to music on some other site, writing an e-mail, researching oz, uploading fotos, people watching, prolly more like people staring. Repeat. I'm much like this at work too. I can't seem to ever focus on any one task for longer than a couple of minutes. Maybe it's a good thing i've been listening to more new-agey stuff. Up beat music might just take me over the edge into a manic stage and then i won't get anything done. I've offered to help big poppa with his pile of repetitive applications but he's shut me down. Maybe cos I keep entering my info instead of his by accident? I can be so useless sometimes. Give me someone to yell at. I'm good at that. It's innate. Must be born that way. I love that quote from Joy Luck Club as I use it often. There was a little girl running around and around and dragging her stuffed animal puppy around and around the coffee place with a leash. The sight of her made everyone smile cos it was just so darn endearing. So free spirited. I couldn't help thinking how gross that stuffed puppy must be. Then again, it really isn't all too different and any cleaner from my own real dogs. Dogs are gross.

Restaurant: The Original Ninfa's

2704 Navigation Blvd
Houston, TX 77003


After a hot dog and a beer at Moon Tower Inn, mochi talked us into going to try The Original Ninfa's on navigation since she had passed it on the way there. So we went and were lucky to get a table without a wait. It was busy! We ordered a mixed platter of chicken and beef fajitas to share and wonder woman got a chicken soup for herself. The meat was seasoned really well and i think i would have enjoyed it a lot more if i hadn't just eaten less than thirty minutes ago. Another thing is that I'm still getting used to corn tortillas. I know. Most people prefer corn over flour but I'm a flour girl. This ninfa's is known for their corn tortillas that they make fresh in front of everyone. Poor corn tortilla maker girl who has the job of making them in front of everyone. I think I would like to go back to try the fajitas again. I remember as we were leaving, I saw the back of someone's head that looked familiar. The girl next to him looked familiar. I realized quickly who i thot this girl was and my focus went back to the guy and I eagerly waited for him to turn around so i could confirm the identity of this person. He turned slightly. Yup it was him. Just a week before, he had intro'd me to his new girlfriend and bad mouthed his old girlfriend. And here he was tonight, just a week later, with old girlfriend again. Guys. Sheesh. In this day in age, it could just as easily be a girl doing the two-timing too i suppose. I made a quick and stealth exit to avoid any awkward meetings and conversations. I'm not naming any names but don't worry, it's no one you know. Hah!
