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…

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…
I’m starting to get really lazy on Sundays, but I like it! I finally attempted the gym, but after getting a weird feeling in my stomach after 20 minutes of running, I decided to call it quits. The gym and I need to get reacquainted! Maybe tomorrow. Matt and I had a restaurant.com gift certificate for a cute Indian place in neighboring Brookline, and since we didn’t get to hang out last night (I was babysitting till midnight), we decided…
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…
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…
So about yesterday…. I had been planning on my typical lazy Sunday when Matt got the opportunity to take someone’s place in the Ras na hEireann, a 5k in honor of St. Patty’s day that takes place in Davis square. Though I’m not a runner myself, I love going to races because of the prime people-watching opportunities. And I obviously like to support Matt! I knocked out a little workout of my own at the gym before heading up to…
Man, I ate and drank well this weekend. As I mentioned yesterday, it’s restaurant week in Boston and we joined our friends Lauren and Evan for dinner at Pigalle last night. Restaurant week can be hit or miss, and since the menus can be very limited, my technique for choosing a restaurant is to pick based on the menu offering first, and reputation second. Pigalle had more options than most of the other restaurants, and since I had heard good…
So, my plan last night was to make a homemade pizza and try to get the Duke game on ESPN.com. But then Matt and I both caught Friday night fever and after stumbling on the beer list at the Mission, we just couldn’t resist a fun night out. So, we hopped on the train to mission hill and scored a seat at the bar, right in front of the game. When I see beers I haven’t tried, I sometimes get…
Sorry for the late post this evening. I was drinking wine at Sonsie with Matt and other students admitted to Duke’s MBA program. Fuqua hosted an event for Boston area admitted students as well as alumni and partners. It’s late, so I’m headed straight to bed, but I have a few notes on the evening: 1. I continue to be impressed with Sonsie. I was delighted to have a slice of the famous pumpkin pizza as well as a…
