More House of Cards Fun

Hello!

Today was a rainy, gray day!  Luckily it wasn't very cold :)  We went to the mall and got Alex a nice jacket! We ate lunch there too.

Later we went to Target and we saw Michael Kelly, who plays Doug Stamper on House of Cards!  That was cool!!  We saw him a few times while we were shopping.  Then, when Alex got off the shuttle after school tonight, I met him across the street to pick up a pizza we ordered.  There were trucks and food tents set up everywhere on one corner and we figured out that they're filming House of Cards right now!  I'm not sure why they didn't ask us to be extras...!  

Alex also saw online that Veep was filming right by the mall where we were this afternoon!!  Sheesh!  We need to get onto one or both of those shows!  :)

Target had restocked their Sugar Paper area so we got a big desk calendar (for the wall)! :)  It's kraft with white and the months are written in pretty calligraphy.  Love it!

The workshop that I'm going to tomorrow night is at Artifact Coffee!  I'm really excited!!

House of Cards, Apartment of Subscription Boxes

Hello!

I got a lot of very fun mail today - three subscription boxes!  Woohoo :)  I got my super cute Birchbox (just finished my first year as a BB subscriber!), my first Bulubox (of three -  I had a Living Social deal to try three months of it), and my Stampin' Up box called Paper Pumpkin!  I got great stuff in my Birchbox that I can't wait to try (and write about here!), the project in the Paper Pumpkin is Halloween-y and soo cute (I will def post pics here of them, too), and I got some interesting things to try in my Bulubox.  

  

The pic is a little blurry, but I was just in a hurry to open everything :)

At the Washington Monument, which is a few blocks down the street from our apartment, they were filming scenes for House of Cards today!  Of course I had to walk down there and see what was happening!  I didn't see any actors from the show, but there were big hair and makeup trailers, food trucks for the crew (who were all over the place), tents with snack tables, people in suits with earpieces, dressed-up men taking breaks drinking wine and smoking cigars, etc.  It was fun to just hang around even though I didn't actually see very much happen.  I just can't imagine how much goes into a scene that may only be a couple of minutes long!  

I guess some of the scenes filmed there are supposed to be in NY since they brought that NYPD car!  They towed the black car there while I was watching.  Exciting!  They film Veep in Baltimore, too, so next I'll have to find them :)  

Alex and I went to another great yoga class tonight!  I made the Loaded Cauliflower recipe again and it was yummy, again!
