How many presidents were successfully assassinated? If you guessed 4, you are correct! I went to trivia at Dain’s tonight and had a blast. I didn’t know any of the answers, but the beer was good and I had fun discussing all of the answers with my team. My first beer was the New Belgian Somersault. I’m trying to fit in tastes of just a few more summer beers before fall arrives. I loved the Somersault because it didn’t taste…

Happy Birthday TBT!!! I’ve made it through a year of blogging! Remember this? My first post! On the surface, a lot has changed since this time last year – I graduated with a specialist degree, I said goodbye to Boston and moved south, and I got my first job. But deep down, not much has changed – I’m still on a hunt for good beer, I’m still finding my way around the kitchen, I’m still searching for that perfect…
Last night was a fantastic finale to an amazing weekend. After the pool, the girls raided the grocery store to create an extensive spread for dinner. I was in charge of making the sangria, which turned out more like margaritas. We used an online recipe that included tequila and I think the portions were off. It tasted wonderful, it just didn’t taste like sangria:) But it was strong:) Oh, and there was also a homemade…
Hi from DC! Thank you all for your sweet comments about my new job! Some of you asked for more details – I will basically be a project manager/program coordinator for a distance graduate program that involves extensive world-wide travel, so I’ll be coordinating travel logistics, managing mailings, helping plan graduations, making recommendations for improvements based on student feedback, and managing work-study students. I’ll be the go-to person for any task that can’t be handled by the program managers and…
Look at this cute usher I found at the wedding! This weekend’s wedding was held at a Santa Monica beach resort – there’s really nothing more beautiful than the ocean as the backdrop for a wedding. The only problem was the cold California breeze. The groomsmen are all Matt’s friends from Davidson. I drool over a man in a black tux…. The bride was breathtaking!!! The kiss… The girls warmed up with cocktails while the boys posed for pics. I…
Today I’m graduating with a Master’s degree in Applied Educational Psychology and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in School Psychology. Normally, I would have been planning my outfit for weeks, but I don’t really have a choice today. I’ll be drowning in a polyester robe and a silly hat. Oh yeah, and a carolina blue hood….not my best color. But, today’s outfit is not really about looks – it’s about what the attire represents. Apparently, the master’s robe…
A little advice from my experienced sister, aka katheats — When Larbs asked me to do a guest post for her this week about making the most of life while working at a desk job, my immediate answer was “But I don’t work one! I left mine for a different career!” But then she reminded me that last year I completed a six month dietetic internship, where I had to work full time in four different rotations while still keeping…
Since I’m eating about the only things left in my fridge and my meals are boring this week, I thought I’d write about a twenties issue that I’m still struggling with: finding a balance between living in the moment and being responsible in preparation for the future. I’ve never really understood the phrase ‘live in the moment’ and to be honest, I get really annoyed when people say it. If I ‘lived in the moment’ on any given day, I’d…
