I got a real live horseshoe and I hung it upside down above my door.

So the point of my trip yesterday was to go to DC, which I accomplished with little to no fanfare. I think my mission went well, but I won't know for a week or two. That part is always a bit maddening.

I'm hoping.

It's not a surprise that I'm an extremely casual dresser. The only thing better than wearing one tee is wearing two! In layers! So when I actually dressed nice, it was kind of a weird feeling. Plus make up. It was odd, but I actually did look quite nice and it surprised me.

What was also surprising was the way it induced people to react to me differently than they normally would. People were generally chattier, more helpful, and overall nicer than I am used to people being. I got more smiles and not a single frown all day.

Maybe I am late to the party where you realize that the way you look does make a difference, but it was quite the revelation to me. I am far too lazy to actually make more of an effort than I normally do, but at least I know now that if I ever do bother, it'll be worth it.

In other news, Terri assures me that Italian Beef sandwiches are indeed quite delicious and wonderful and the "best sandwich on earth".

I will go ahead and take that on faith.

Now it's time for a little game I like to call What Airport Is That?

This one's easy:
