In a Year

Life Ramblings Twenties

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…

Feels Like Home

Durham Restaurants

Well aside from my blog being all out of sorts (sorry guys!), I had a fabulous weekend. Durham finally feels kinda like home, and not just some strange place I am visiting on an extended vacation. After running errands all day Saturday, I came home and split this Trippel with Matt. It was strong with a spicy-hop finish and I give it two thumbs up! Hopefully, I can add a few new beers to Beer Love once the blog is…

Working Woman, Round II

Life The Working World

Hi friends – I got a bit overwhelmed this evening and didn’t have time to post, so I thought you might enjoy reading what I posted before my first day of work last year. Be back tomorrow! — Mornin’. I’m off to my first day day of work! Because I’m beginning my internship today, I wanted to start a discussion about adjusting to a full-time work schedule…. My mission on Taking Back my Twenties is not to complain, but to…

Busy

Uncategorized

Hello friends. I apologize for my absence. I’ve been busy…. busy making salads and sweet potatoes in an attempt to return to normal eating after my trip, busying shopping for bikes and work clothes, busy filling out paperwork, and busy celebrating with riesling at West End Wine Bar. Why, more merriment after a ten-day celebration of life, you ask? Because this girl is employed! No more wondering where I’ll be working, when my career will begin, of if I will…

Rethinking Fashion Friday

Uncategorized

Hola. It’s a rainy afternoon in Boston, and since I knocked out a workout before work this morning, I’m enjoying some couch time and catching up on laundry. I’ve also been doing some thinking about Fashion Friday. I originally started posting photos of outfits after my first week of working full-time  because I’d never needed to wear anything other than jeans on a typical day and I wanted to challenge myself to mix up my wardrobe. Snapping pictures of my…

I’m Already Moving

Uncategorized

Hi guys, Kath has already convinced me to move over to WordPress because there are many more options and the platform for commenting is better.  I’ve been working on a new template all day and should be up and running by tomorrow at the same domain.  I apologize in advance if the blog is down for a few hours!  I’ll be back with a recap of my incredible brunch in the morning, but I’ll give you a hint as to…

The Perfect Party

Uncategorized

I’m so excited to have readers!!  Thank you all for your sweet comments and thanks for the shout-out Kath.  It’s so nice to have some encouragement when starting something new. So remember when I said that I can’t stay up on Friday nights anymore?  Well I also can’t sleep in on Sunday mornings anymore:(  After tossing and turning for the past hour, I just decided to give up on sleeping and blog. I woke up with that feeling that something…

The Rundown

Life Ramblings Twenties

Welcome to my very first post!!  I hope to have an ‘About Me’ page soon, but in the meantime, I’ll give you the rundown. I graduated from a small liberal arts college in North Carolina in 2008.  Like many people, I think of my time in college as the best four years of my life.  I had (and still have) an incredible group of friends; I loved my classes and found my passion for psychology; and I met my amazing…
