"Where did the weekend go?" Asks Woman Who Had a 9 Hour Sunday Brunch
Spring is in full swing and the Covid-19 vaccine rollout will be accompanied with lots of people enjoying one of DC’s favorite things: Brunch! However, for Marlene Compass, a 27 year old woman from Adams Morgan, time went really fast last weekend. She had a 9 hour Sunday brunch.
“I got my second dose of the vaccine two weeks ago. I was ready to do as many things as I could do outside. Sadly the weekend was done in a blink of an eye,” said Marlene. “I only had a little nice brunch with my friends at Mezè. We got some food, and bottomless mimosas of course. And all of the sudden it was 9pm. It’s not fair.”
“On Sunday I was planning to go to Safeway and get groceries, call my mom for her birthday, and ride my bike through The National Mall,” said Marlene. “But I woke up late so I just went to Mezè at noon. One thing led to another, and we ended up ordering tons of appetizers plus ten mimosas? It’s hard to keep track when you are having fun. I thought we were done by 3pm but it was already 9pm and all I wanted was to go to bed.”
At the time of publication, Marlene was working on her to-do list for the weekend. Then she got a call from her friend Britney and reserved a brunch appointment at Slash Run for both Saturday and Sunday.
