Since Jaime and Zoe have arrived in Maryland:

-They got lost in Dulles while I paced the airport back and forth and bought the EW with the naked Lindsey Lohan on the front, but not for any desire to see her bared shins and shoulders
-We toured UMD (several times.. once in a car, thrice on foot, once with me giving the Graaaahnd Touah as I gave to Mirm and her friends)
-We tangoed down the hallway
-I introduced all my college friends to them at least once, often twice when I would slip into automatic Good Hostess mode
-We went to play with Arik in his clothes-implosion of a room
-Jess and I studied like there was no tomorrow and met up with random guy from facebook and bonded over panicked last-second cramming
-I retained more than expected for said Government final and Jess and I celebrated regardless of scores... hence the last entry
-We figured out the Metro and bus system after only a few interesting mishaps
-We ate at a swank asian restaurant in DC with Zoe's neat pierced uncle footing the bill
-Jaime was assailed by random drunk Mexican guys in the Metro and they talked to her boobs and we had nowhere to run
-Zoe was introduced to Mitch Hedberg
-We watched Igby Goes Down and Zoe still doesn't know what to think of it
-Rachel and I had one last bed party before the dread Leaving Day
-A lot of sad goodbyes were had
-We packed THE WORLD and managed to fit it and ourselves neatly into Marge
-I fucked up everything again and no one was surprised
-We reminisced over the most awkward years of our lives with pictures to prove it
-We saw Andy and the kids and then went to Robin's party
-We had a blast and watched Equilibrium and laughed a lot and Robin got everyone presents including the feriners and we shared deer-hitting stories and awkward stories and I accidentally blurted a story I didn't mean to but it's all in the past anyway and I don't care
-Mum found my Last Days of Senior Year tapes! They're mostly boring with little bits of funny tucked in
-We saw Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and it made us want to do theatre
-We played in Target
-I warned them repeatedly that all we do is watch movies and eat.. and am proven true time and time again
-It SNOWED for the Georgians!
-I didn't kill us on the drive home
-We car-toured Solomons
-We played in the snow
-We fell into a ravine. And then we made it back up. And fell again.
-And laughed a lot, even though we couldn't feel our extremities and I dropped the video camera during the fall.. some time after I hit the tree
-I got stuck in a tree
-Jaime hit every tree she could and a few she couldn't when she fell
-Zoe found the camera and I emergency operated on it for an hour
-I fixed the camera
-We skated in our brightly colored fishnet socks Zoe got us and she taught us how to free spin
-I let the hem out of my snowman pants
-We drank hot chocolate and watched Edward Scissorhands and Jaime braided Zoe's hair
-I failed at keeping away from AIM all day
-We swore to get up early and play in the snow because my bringing the snow has achieved all of Jaime and Zoe's childhood dreams and that's important
