Post-brunch at Cafe Bonaparte in Georgetown, it occured to me that my life–working, studying, boyfriendless, friendful–is pretty fabulous after all, and could be more so if I would just…show up and pay attention. Less overdrive, more observant. And while I’m at it, a little less observing and a little more action.
After all, it doesn’t take a lot of cash or connections to enjoy something as simple as a French vanilla latte and catch up with an old and dear friend. The more I thought about the things that do make me happy–my family, which will soon include a New! Improved! niece or nephew; walking past the White House with my iPod; polka dot dresses–I realized that I need to stop worrying so much and just enjoy my life.
One thing I enjoy immensely is peeking to the personal and social lives of DC and NoVa dwellers via their blogs. These writers make me laugh, think, and explore the city. Maybe I’ll enjoy adding to the discourse.
And so, the blogling, she is born. I’m Elle, a 27-year-old admirer of all things intellectual, inspirational, beautiful, and fun. This blog is my home base for all my online interests, and I hope to turn fun surfing into fine living. And by “fine living” I don’t mean $300 Absolut table service or paying retail for luxury jeans. I mean truly living every day; making smart choices with my time and money; and maybe even creating a forum for some cultural conversation.
Que hiciste, y’all?
