Hello, hello. Here is evidence that I’ve been in the kitchen: That would be Caitlin’s Santa Fe Casserole. It’s been on my list to make for a while and, since Matt has finals this week, I’d thought I’d make something that he could re-heat during his library breaks. I actually made this yesterday and was thrilled to come from work and dig into it this evening. Loved the texture and it was great with salsa! I made the switch from…

Matt and I had a little something to celebrate yesterday – six years together! But due to scheduling, we didn’t even see each other yesterday. We actually plan to celebrate this weekend, but decided a little weekday wine was in order. Enter the Funf. I’ve had this bottle of wine for 3+ years. Oops. When I was at Davidson, Matt and I liked to walk across the street to the wine bar and order this riesling. This is when my…
I loved your comments yesterday – thanks for making me laugh:) Some people believe there’s never a place for negativity, but sometimes its comforting to hear other people’s complaints instead of my own thoughts. This morning, I got up and went to my third yoga class! I think I might quit though because it’s just soo hard and there are no other classes offered at my studio (it’s new so the offerings are very limited). I know it’s good for…
I tried yoga again. It was MUCH more difficult this time (it wasn’t a beginner’s class), but I liked it a lot! The instructor was a six foot tall stick and I have no idea how she held some of the poses for so long. I’m glad my early morning was peaceful because work was a bit hectic. I hate how my job ebbs and flows with crazy days and boring days. I’d like some steady, long-term projects that amount…
Some days I have energy and some days I do not. Today, I had energy! I got a ton accomplished at work and continued the trend at home by changing the sheets, unloading the dishwasher, packing tomorrow’s breakfast, lunch, and gym bag, creating a consignment store clothing pile, cleaning out all the crumbs and such from the bottom of my work bag, and making stuffed peppers for dinner – all before 7:30! I wish I could be this productive every…
Howdy. How was your day? Tuesday seems to be my hump day – once I get through it, I immediately feel better about the week. I’m still having trouble not just living for the weekends…how do you avoid wishing away the work week when weekends are so fabulous? Changing subjects, I got the most amazing haircut this afternoon. It doesn’t look that amazing (because my hair is brassy and damaged), but the stylist was one of the best I’ve ever…
Hi there and happy holiday weekend! I apologize that I’ve been MIA. I was out of commission yesterday morning and then I entertained parents last night. It’s already been an amazing weekend and there’s still another day to go!!! These long weekends are ten times more meaningful now that I’m working and have no vacation days! And to top it off, I got to leave work at 3 on Friday. I was overjoyed to get some extra free time and…
Howdy, I still can’t get over the weather here. There are just so many days of pure blue skies! I went for a run in the forest today and loved it. Ever since my running-induced stomach issues started last year, I’ve developed a negative mentality about running. Since it seems better for the most part, I’ve simply been trying to enjoy running again by not worrying about how far or long or fast I run. I think this morning was…
Today was the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation: Internet and TV time, outdoor run, grocery store, lunch with fun new groceries, intensive cleaning of apt, more TV time, home-made black bean burgers, prep for tomorrow, blog, and then reading The Help for the rest of the evening! Don’t ya just love days like that? Poor Matt is intensely studying for two big exams and I know he’d kill for the kind of free time I enjoyed today. The weather…
