Thoughts from a Thursday

Ramblings

1. How can I be this exhausted with only two days of work under my belt? 2. Don’t ever try to eat a hot dog too fast when you’re in a rush! I had approximately 7 minutes to eat this dinner before my partners cabinet meeting and it didn’t sit too well…[love all the different flavors at WF though] 3. Great Harvest cinnamon chip bread is heavenly and the doughy end piece is the best. And I’m not just sayin’…

Waiting to Exhale

Life Ramblings The Working World

I just took back time in my twenties. I quit my job (well, gave four weeks notice). I figured I’d rather be poor and happy than have regrets. Don’t worry, I have something small lined up. I’ll surely miss the lovely ladies in my office, and I feel a lot of sadness about that. For now, I’m gonna go drink a beer and keep telling myself that I’m a dreamer and a go-getter and not a quitter. I finally can…

Ramblings

1. I think the reintroduction of caffeine has thrown off my brain. I’ve felt quite strange lately. 2. Another Christmas party, another awesome winter beer. Fall and winter beers are the best. 3. Tonight was a Davidson gathering – it’s always nice to reconnect and meet new alum. 4. I snacked on a pulled pork sandwich and some awesome pimento cheese for dinner. 5. I had to pack 154 FexEx boxes at work today because my work study student didn’t…

1. Sometimes rainy days are fun. But only when I’m with my space heater. 2. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and beer are just around the corner! 3.

Pumpkin oats just get better and better. 6. It’s only November and I’m already turning into a brunette. 7. Not only was I…

Durham Restaurants Ramblings

1. You guys are awesome and your kind words make me feel warm inside (and that’s saying a lot because I’m always cold:)) 2. Speaking of cold, it’s chilly out! What happened to fall and southern temperatures? 3. I went for my annual today and was surprised when the receptionist asked me to pay for the appointment. $60 for 20 minutes with a doctor…that could have been a nice pair of shoes or a dinner out! 4. Two spiders have…

Food of the Past

Ramblings

What up friends? I’m on the couch all bundled up. And so the cold, long winter begins. It’s much warmer here than it was in Boston, but my apartment doesn’t hold heat quite as well and my office is freezing. Thus, I am just as cold here as I was in the north. I also suspect that my iron is low again as well because I basically forgot to take vitamins this summer and multivitamins usually aren’t enough for low…

Monday Musings
