Flashy Friday

STAMPED
Oh and I am getting oh so flashy tonight because it is my ROOMIES BIRTHDAY!!!! I love her...anywho...We are going to that Jazzy Shmazzy rooftop lounge called POV at the W Hotel. I must really love her ass because there is a $25 minimum and the drinks average to about $15 a glass (PRE-GAMING will be in full effect tonight!). I'm excited tho, I've been wanting to check this place out for a while.

I'm thinking about leaving work early to get to the Jazz @ the Sculpture Garden. The National Gallery of Art offers free jazz performances at Jazz in the Garden at its outdoor café every Friday evening throughout the summer. Visitors can enjoy cocktails and a light dinner while listening to great music amid 17 monumental works of 20th-century sculpture and flowering trees, shrubs, groundcovers, and perennials. Arrive early for optimal seating. In inclement weather, concerts are held inside the Pavilion Café. Sound like a bomb date or a great after work outting with the FRENS.

A Little Beer Could Go A Long Way!

Obama never ceases to amaze me lol. I love it! He's such a real dude. He proves that you dont have to be so uptight all the time to be powerful! We all know that alcohol either solves the beef or escalates the beef. In this case I'd be pretty pissed at that Sergeant James Crowley dude if I was Henry Gates. It might take me a couple shots of Patron to slide that one under the rug. I wonder how many beers they had lol

Random Story: During my freshman year in college my girls and I had a facebook war with some girls from Chicago (LAME RIGHT). It was heated too, there were pictures and everything lol. To make a long story short I went to Chicago that following summer by myself. I saw the same girls at this 4th of July party. I just knew I was gonna get my ass CRUSHED at this party. So what I do....I got very drunk...they got very drunk...and guess what, we became the best of friends that night lol. I LOVE YOU EBs and Saki lol. See guys....its not just rubbing alcohol that heals wounds lol

The Itis: Bloody Marys

I use to work @ Busboys & Poets (if u dont know what Busboys & Poets is, you must not be from DC) anywho... I fell in love with Virgin Marys while working brunchs there. I got fired over some bullshit so I'm not really pressed to go to BB&P just to get a Virgin Mary but I've been looking all around the urrr-ea (area) for a really good one.

While ordering lunch today from this restaurant by my job i found this: http://www.theheightsdc.com/menus/BloodyMenu.pdf

An all out "build it yourself" Bloody Mary menu

@ The Heights in Columbia Heights I have to check this out!!! I am amazed, i've never seen anything like this.

Wasted Wednesdays

Woah...its kinda dry today in DC land. Maybe because it looks like its going to TSUNAMI outside! I'm not seeing too many appealing events for the day but we must make lemonade out of lemons right.

STAMPED
I'll be @ Ibiza's rooftop happy hour this evening. I don't know many details about it however, I know it starts at 7 and you had to be on some type of guest list to get in. I'm in there courtesy of my dude Ellio-dozo so...hopefully you'll be there too, if not I'll figure out how to get you there next week.

Or if it doesnt rain you could get it right get it tight @ FREE YOGA in Dupont Circle.

Lululemon Summer Yoga Series in the Park

Lululemon yoga studio chain offers free yoga classes every Wednesday in Dupont Circle during June, July and August.

June 3-Aug. 26:6:30-7:30 p.m.

Connecticut Avenue and Q Street NW

*Random Story: Last time i went to go to free yoga i decided to walk from my job (about 1.5 miles away). I was so excited, i had my yoga mat (which was still in the wrapper), my tank top and my leggings. I got off of work early so I decided to go to Adams Morgan to run an errand in Verizon. After realizing I HATE Verizon, i left, tried to still go to yoga, and realized that I went about another mile out of the way. On top of that, the flats i was wearing was rubbing against my pinky toe which was the most painful feeling ever so basically i wasnt walking anywhere! AND i didnt have any cash to get on the bus to go home. So....what did i do? I sat on a newspaper box for 2 hours so somebody would come get me....i never wanted to go to yoga again.

"The Itis"

When we're not drinking...you could probably catch the FRENS and I cooking or having these big dinners. Thats exactly what happened last night. i didnt mention this before but I live with 4 other chicks. If we all invite 1 person over, we have a full blown party lol. Therefore, i am inspired to include this addition to RoseRNTRed. I call it "The Itis" lol. I'm gonna put up all the bomb recipies and my favorite restaurants that I encounter. My girl Bean will be writing on this too 'cause she's the bomb cook lol.Last night I made Grilled Tomatoes...it was bomb but I think they could have been a little bit better. Here's a recipie that looks pretty good.

Breaded Balsamic Grilled Tomatoes1 (or more) large Hot House or Beefsteak Tomato
Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powdersalt and pepper to taste

Slice tomato in half. Using a spoon, scoop out about 1/2 inch from the middle of the tomato. Mix bread crumbs, balsamic, and parmesan together with a little garlic powder. Spoon the bread crumb mixture in the tomatoes. Place each tomato onto a small piece of tinfoil and wrap it around the tomato, leaving the top exposed. Place on direct heat on the grill, keep the cover closed, and grill for approximately 20 - 30 minutes, or until topping is golden brown. Remove, let sit for a few minutes and eat immediately

Truly Amazing

OMG It is absolutely amazing how God works. Right as I am sending massive emails, messages, and posting on this blog, I recieve an email saying my bosses daughter has been found. Truly amazing. Faith and prayer is better than anything in this world! :)

Asking for Help

Hey, I know that I've been kinda dry on the blog this past week. It's only because I've been dealing with some issues at work. I wanted to let everyone know that my boss' 16 year old daughter, Kai WilderBrathwaite, went missing on Friday morning. She was last seen getting into an unmarked cab in Brooklyn, NY. She is from Virginia but was spending the summer in NYC with family. It is believed that she has been abducted. No one knows her whereabouts but we are trying to let as many people know as possible. If you know anyone in NYC that you could pass this along to, it would be a huge help. I've attached the poster to this post.

I've only met Kai a couple time but this is hitting me very close to my heart. I can't imagine what she or her family are going through. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and please stay on your P's & Q's when you're out. Stay safe and make good decisions.

Take care,
Aye

Woah...watch out now I'm tryin to step up my little blogging game with music and what not. Notice I had to have a cut to shout out the man Gucci...FREEEEE GUCCIIIII!!!!!
But anywho...speaking of FLASHY I am loving Mama Obama's new little cut :) Her bang feather is...... BUSS-IN' (lol that was for you Xian)!!! I need a flashy little hair cut. I need to just go ahead and call Mama Obama. I mean we are neighbors I do only live up the street. She could refer me to somebody. In the mean time I'm gonna call up my girl Monica cause she does all my FRENS hair and it always looks really really good. Her salon is called PR@Partners and its right in downtown. Low key Monica probably cut Mama Obama's hair and don't wanna tell nobody!

The new hot spot on U St (not really U St but...whatever) is Policy

Policy on Tuesday is good for the young black professional like myself lol. Upstairs is really nice. They have a little patio on the back where people usually smoke ciggies. Definitely doesn't have the bomb view, you're kinda looking over a junk yard. But all in all i really like this spot, I really like the crowd, and the bartender John (i dont know if thats his name for real, i might have made it up lol) is a cuttie patootie!

Chello, Guten Tag, Hola, Konnichi Wa

Welcome Welcome Welcome!!! I'm so glad you made it...

There's a few things that you should know about this blog:

1). (this may be the most important) It's RANDOM as HELL!!!! It's a mix between informing my readers about whats poppin for the day ( & night), random stories about what happen when my friends and I went to these places, and random stories & pictures that I find will surfing the net @ my dry ass job .
2). I sometimes like to spell words how I want you to read them such as speh-cee-ale (that would be special with a spanish accent)
3). I like to plug for people, so if my friends are doing something cool I might just shout them out
4). It's called RoseRNTRed because it's not typical. You will not find events on here that you would usually attend, you will not find stories on here that you read on the other 500 blogs that you read for the day, you will not find all the gossip stories (however you may find 1 or 2 that I think are absolutely outlandish!!!)
6). (DISCLAIMER) I don't have a computer...i can only post @ work lol so when my job is not dry, I might not be posting
7). A lot of these stories may be surrounded around me being poor lol...thats just the way it is!

OMG this is gonna be sooooooooooooo much lol!!! Stay posted!
