Went to the Alicia Keys concert in town with my buddy and blogger BK Diva.
It was so much fun! We ate dinner at Rosa Mexicano (where I had this funky and fantastic pineapple and cinnamon cocktail), chatted, chilled and looked fabulous. We missed Jordin Sparks (which disappointed neither of us), we saw NeYo, whose songs I like, but whose performance was ho hum.
Then Ms. Keys, who impressed me! First of all, I didn't think she could move from behind the piano, but she proved me wrong on that. She did up her hits big and did justice to her more intimate pieces on the piano. I was a satisfied customer.
Friday night's damage: $97.83, including $15 on parking, which sucks, but it also includes a cool apricot cocktail I had after the concert. Lovely evening.
Saturday, my guy went to catch up with some buddies for the day and I went to run errands. Saturday errands always seem to cost a fortune. You can spend hundreds of dollars in no time.
First, I went to get an oil change. Sat at the Jiffy Lube for over an hour (because everyone else in Christendom decided to get their oil changed at the same time) but I was on the phone catching up with my girl on the West Coast so it was ok.
Then, I went window shopping, then trying-on-clothes shopping, then buying-clothes shopping. I got some much needed khaki slacks, then much lesser needed tops (I had a $25 off coupon at Banana Republic, but, still).
Spent $10 on parking that day, which SUCKS.
Then I met up with some old co-worker buddies from Virginia who moved up to D.C. It was great! We had dinner at an Ethiopian place (and one of my buds paid for dinner for all of us! Sweet!) then dessert and cocktails at live music lounge, just talking and cracking jokes. Lovely.
Saturday's damage: $224.87. YIKES! The oil change was a little over $60 and then I spent over $100 on clothes.
Still under budget on all the categories involved here, but I might want to keep the $300 weekends to a minimum!

Dang $60 for an oil change! Ouch - at least it didn't go on a credit card or at least, won't be staying there long right?
