Hayley

Hayley hopes that everybody had a fun and candy filled Halloween weekend. Given her love of sweets it is certainly a time that she enjoys (not that she limits her treat consumption to any special day). Hayley had a very social week, during which she was able to catch up with various friends over something sweet. She began her week’s socializing with a gossip session in Clarendon, where she caught up with a friend over pumpkin spice frozen yogurt at Red Mango. Although it wasn’t the best she’s had, Hayley does love all things pumpkin (and gossip…friendly, of course). And, aware that it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas, she also hit the area’s stores for a bit of shopping.


Wednesday Hayley took a break from her treat centered week to attend Cocktails and Conversation with Renée Stout at the Hemphill Gallery. The evening was organized by DC’s Young Art Leaders, and she enjoyed socializing with various like minded friends while perusing the exhibition House of Chance and Mischief, which she was happy to catch before it closed. It was back to gossip, shopping and pumpkin treats (this time a cupcake at the Love Café) on Friday, when she met up with a friend she hadn’t seen in quite a while.


Hayley’s weekend was a mix of entertaining – she had friends over both nights – and way too many errands/never ending moving related tasks. The former was obviously more fun than the latter, as it gave her the excuse to make Halloween themed goodies (sugar cookies and cheese crackers in various fun shapes), and show off her festive dressed up for the holiday house. The daytime chores were somewhat less exciting, but at least they involved treats…she needs to get in her share of frozen ones before it gets too chilly. Not that it’s ever too cold for Dairy Queen, where she enjoyed a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard before it was replaced by the November Blizzard of the Month.



Luckily she got home from errand running just in time to give out candy to the many trick-or-treaters. She had such a good turnout that there’s hardly anything left for her. But never mind, she’ll be baking for Christmas before she knows it, and the house will be filled with treats once again.
