Mmmm…70 degrees feels soooo good. I laced up the news shoes after work and went for my first run outside (in Boston) of the year. My shoes felt pretty good. Not fabulous, but solid enough that I think I’m going to keep them. Then run itself actually wasn’t too great, probably because I never run anymore and because I was still full from a massive luncheon we had at work today. Regardless of how my body felt, I really enjoyed…

Dare I say spring has arrived? It’s nothing like NC, but it did reach 60 today and the world came out of hiding. I’m actually sitting outside in an adirondack chair on campus, though I’m wearing both a sweatshirt and a sweater and I’m wrapped in a towel just to stay warm. The weekend was pleasant. Friday, I was lucky enough to taste the brand new Peak Organic Belgian before it’s officially released (I didn’t quite understand why this was…
Words cannot describe how much I love beer. Matt and I are obviously ‘friends’ of Harpoon, so we entered our names into the invitation pot for a tasting event this evening. We were lucky enough to be chosen to attend the tasting for the new 100 barrel series: Island Creek Oyster Stout. We arrived a bit late, but there were basically unlimited tastings of the Oyster Stout and other Harpoon beers. I had three “tastes” of the Stout in honor…
Good evening, Anything exciting happen this weekend? If you guessed that I ate and drank my way through the weekend, you’d be correct! I also laughed, a lot. You see, Kath gave Matt a gift card to a local comedy club for his birthday and we cashed it in last night for two tickets to see a visiting comedian. Matt was playing soccer yesterday afternoon, so we didn’t have a whole lot of time to grab dinner before the show…
Yesterday was so much fun! I skipped my workout yet again because I’m still feeling exhausted from this cold. I walked downtown to meet Matt and help him celebrate one of his coworker’s birthdays. The only sign of spring out there was the bright sun – the highs are still only reaching the 30’s:( I finally got to try another Unibroue beer! La Fin du Monde is one of my all time favorites, but I’ve never tried any of the…
Well, my body is back to normal, but I have a lovely runny nose…I’ll take it! T’was another productive day at work. It looks like there might only be one more big wave of testing referrals before the end of the school year. Yippeeee. I headed back to the gym today and got back in the kitchen! I went to a 5 o’clock spinning class, and although I opted to just go through the motions and not really push myself,…
Although I’m usually glad to be home after traveling, I sometimes (ok, every time) feel a little blue upon returning from a fun weekend. So, occasionally, Matt and I like to ‘ease’ back into our routines with a post-vacation treat. Yesterday that treat was the Whole Foods hot bar. This was one of the best combinations of salads and meats I’ve had at the old hot bar…I love it when the flavors all come together. A beer was justified because…
I had such a fun weekend visiting my grandmother in Baltimore! We had pie for breakfast… And, when Kath and Kanz are around, we always eat lots of fantastic bread… On Saturday we did some shopping at the Towson Loehmann’s, where my mom and grandmother have been shopping for 30 years! I’m sure you’ll get a glimpse of some of my new stuff through Fashion Friday posts… Matt and his parents joined us for cheese and beer sampling before…
So Matt and I gave in to the spirit of St. Patrick and ditched our dinner plans of cod and potatoes to go out to eat. We just couldn’t resist – partly because of the 60 degree temperatures and partly because were really jealous of all the college students partying with their windows open, decked in green and sequins. But, don’t worry, we didn’t go all out….we just got burgers at b.good and then grabbed a drink at a local…
