Having free time this summer has been fabulous. I’m doing a lot of lounging and just taking time for myself. Here are some of the things I’m enjoying: TJ’s coconut water popsicle’s – they’re sweet and tropical and make me feel like I’m hydrating (even though there’s prob not enough water in them to do a thing!) My new gym! This is the first time I’ve ever joined a gym! I’ve always just gone to my school’s gym (Davidson, Northeastern,…

Matt and I took an after dinner stroll last night and got into a wedding discussion and I totally forgot to blog. I couldn’t fall asleep because I had this feeling that I was forgetting something, and then I remembered that I didn’t post! Anyway, if you don’t want to hear about wedding stuff, please just tell me to shut up (or kindly skip this post). I figure I’ll need an outlet to discuss these things… Sometimes I just want…
Where did the day go? I was on my computer all.day.long – googling, searching, planning, emailing, chatting. It’s really easy to just get sucked into the internets. There’s no tv here (there’s an actual tv, but it doesn’t get even local channels), which is both good and bad. Bad obviously because I can’t watch anything other than Netflix (not even the Olympics:(), but good because I don’t waste time. Except I end up wasting even more time on the computer,…
Sometimes, I get tired of people (and Doctors) telling me that I’m stressed. I mean, I went to school – stress is that feeling when you have a million exams and tests piled up, right? I haven’t had that school-stressed-out feeling in a while, so I just assumed that I don’t get stressed much anymore. But lately, I’ve been re-thinking that. Perhaps stress just feels different now, especially because I stress about different types of things? I think I can…
Ya know, just a quinoa bowl with chic sausage and roasted veggies. With a little bbq sauce added later. Gotta have a big bowl of something at least once a week. I can’t believe it’s almost summer! This became very evident at work today, when I found out about two more referrals. I’ve got six cases to go with barely five weeks left. It’s crunch time. In addition, I’ve got two really fun trips coming up in May, so this…
I don’t think I’ve been on an outdoor run since December. I don’t do winter. I discovered a greenway near my work and it was a great place to run. Gotta do that more often. Running outside really hurt my knees and I move at the pace of a snail. There were so many fun houses to look at. It’s funny how my taste has changed. I used to be so concerned with the size and cub appeal, but now…
Matt’s finished with another term of business school! Boyfriend home by 5 means I got to lay in bed while he cooked dinner: roasted brussels, basmati, and a ginger marinaded swordfish from WF. A nice treat! The weather was also a nice treat. I think the warmth affected my grocery trip because I found my cart full of summer-y fruits and vegetables! Why was I laying in bed at 5 o’clock? Long story short, a headache combined with a mini…
Enter my weekly rice bowl: sweet taters, black beans, corn, salsa fresco, avocado, corn chips. I look forward to dinner all day. Wednesdays make my head hurt. I felt pretty bad after work, but had an Exedrin migraine, and was on the bike and sweating 40 minutes later. Caffeine works wonders sometimes, yet my stomach rejects coffee. Bodies are so weird. Today’s weather = invigorating. I saw tons of people out running, but of course, I prefer the dark spinning…
We all know it’s on the horizon and men can be impossible to shop for. I’m always on a budget – here are my man gift ideas… Masculine chocolate: bacon, beer, or spicy chili A coupon for a beer and pizza night – a lotta food for a little money is always the way to his heart (same with my dad) Can’t go wrong with a pancake or egg breakfast A little something for the liquor collection he’s always wanted…
