Hello friends. What a glorious spring weekend! Aren’t you so excited that it’s here? Matt and I had a rare weekend with no plans. While the spring weather made me want to eat lots of healthy fruits and salads, I somehow ended up having beer, meat, and fries both nights. I got my wish for a burger! Friday night, we met some friends at Fullsteam Brewery for a drink and then grabbed dinner at Bull City Burger. I had the…

Another weekend over:( I didn’t do a whole lot, but enjoyed it nonetheless. On Friday, I headed to Duke to help out at the Stop Hunger Now campaign that was going on at Fuqua Friday. I enjoyed being on an assembly line and was in charge of the funnel station:) After volunteering, Matt and I went in search of the Foothills Brewing Sexual Chocolate that we had last year around Valentine’s Day. We found it at the Federal, one of…
A holiday and a half day due to ice made last week fly by…and now we’re almost in February. I can’t say I’m too sad that January is almost over:) We had plans to head to Duke for our weekly Fuqua Friday, but because of the icy conditions, it was cancelled. Matt swung by the grocery store and picked up a package of bacon and a hunk of pizza dough and a beautiful pie was born. We declared this the…
Hi and happy MLK! There’s nothing like a holiday full of laundry and cleaning. After a fantastic weekend getaway that is! We drove to Charlottesville on Friday night and were welcomed with two incredible homemade pizzas and a crazy beer. Kath and Kanz make a mean whole wheat pizza, and they even made mozzarella from scratch. I had tasted this beer once before at a beer festival, but holy cow is it good! I’m loving staying in on these cold…
Would you believe I stayed in both nights this weekend? I’m definitely in the post-Christmas-its-cold-hibernation mode. Plus, Matt was out of town on Friday night and I was too tired to make plans. So I went grocery shopping and came home with a huge WF salad and introduced myself to Downton Abbey. I wasn’t instantly hooked, but I really liked it and definitely will be watching more. I keep thinking about the characters. Its not Friday night without a beer!…
Sometimes it’s so nice to have no plans. I had really low expectations for last night, and I such a blast in small town Durham. We had hoped to throw a party, but with so many people traveling, it was kind of a fail. And then we tried to coordinate a progressive evening of sorts with different friend groups and it just didn’t come together. So, Matt and I found ourselves with a completely free NYE and a fabulous night…
Merry merry Christmas! We celebrated at my house in Hillsborough with Matt parents, my parents, my sister, her husband and his mom, and new baby Mazen. We had a full house and it was so very merry. My time was spent playing with the baby, drinking Christmas beers, enjoying time with family, giving and receiving presents, and eating sweets and savory treats! And of course, there was cake:) I’m so thankful for the past couple of days, but I’m also…
I don’t really know what I did this weekend. I’m so excited to be on break, that I’ve just been going with the flow. It’s amazing. And it’s so nice that I don’t have to travel this year, since my parents live 20 minutes down the road! I never remember feeling so relaxed right before Christmas. Friday was the last day of school for students and the principal arranged a huge bbq lunch for all the staff. We had pulled…
I spent my evening cleaning! I mentioned on Tuesday that I’m hosting a pre-prom party, and since I didn’t want to put the hard part off until Saturday, I went ahead and took care of all the chores I hate – toilets, shower, cleaning that little space between the wall and the kitchen sink, and clearing off my desk, which tends to get piled up with junk. I feel especially good about these tasks because I’m usually not very productive…
