Food trucks are taking over. But I love ’em. And love that ‘gourmet’ food is getting cheap and trendy. Matt and I ventured over to the weekly food truck gathering in the Virginia Highlands this evening. We tried to resist the mac and cheese, claiming that we could make it at home, but we gave into the temptation when we saw the summer succotash – ziti noodles with fontina and jack cheese covered with peppers, corn, lima beans, and topped…

Babysitting
Today, I babysat the little munchkin from 7 to 7. We went on three walks, he took two naps, and I got peed on once:) And I’m pooped. Not so much because I was that active, but because it’s been a while since I had to get up at 6. I forgot how terrible that makes me feel. The realization that I have 3 more weeks of summer really hit home today. But, boy am I ready for that first…
This is what happens when you come home ravenous and are trying to clean out the cabinets. I made it a cereal night because I was especially hungry by 5pm today. No time for cooking! I’ve been so hungry since I got back from Atlanta and I’m wondering if the ~8 miles of walking just caught up with me? My doctor says my blood sugar is low so I’m curious to find out what that’s all about too. I found…
Today was my last day of babysitting! Now I am officially unemployed. It was a little sad, but mostly exciting. The weather was breezy and in the 70’s – perfect for lying under my tree while the kids played at the park. I wished a had brought a new book to start today, but I just enjoyed the sunshine. Then I took the little guy to J.P. Licks for a special ice cream treat. I got half peanut butter and…
It felt like summer today – Boston reached 77!!! Yet, I still wore my pea coat over a flannel shirt this afternoon because I’m thawing out. When I was at the park, I actually overheard a girl talking about me to another, saying “I always check the weather in the morning…I feel so sorry for the people who have on wool sweaters and coats today.” Hey, I check the weather every morning too, but Boston is unpredictable and I was…
Man, I feel like a whole new human today! Whew! I went into work a bit late and I think the extra sleep must have helped. It also made my day fly by. And, today’s weather felt just like a normal American city’s – I didn’t cringe when I walked outside. It was so pleasant that I took the little one to the park for two hours while babysitting. I read my novel and basked in the sun. Delightful. I…
Work was busy busy today, which was stressful and exciting at the same time. It certainly made the day pass by much more quickly, but it left me feeling a little drained. I babysat late this evening, so PB + jelly was enjoyed on the run. I won’t bore you with photos, although I do think it’s a beautiful sandwich. I managed to find the energy to have a lego battle, and once I put the kids to bed, I…
I’m on my way out the door for an early babysitting date, but I didn’t want you guys to miss out on fashion Friday. Cheers to Friday.…
Although it’s cold and snowy outside, I swear the sun is shinning brighter these days (maybe because the days are getting longer?). There’s even talk of near 40 degree temperatures this weekend! Two more weeks until “spring” break. Not that I’m counting or anything. My lack of productivity at my internship today confirmed that I work much better at home. I kind of went through the motions of work, but didn’t get too much accomplished. I did, however, make it…
