-I packed up one of my offices today – crazy, and so exciting -Tornadoes scare the sh*t out of me and I can’t imagine what the people of OK must be going through – makes wedding decor seems like the stupidest thing in the world -Matt is keeping me sane by doing a million things – he made mini burgers tonight that turned out awesome! Can’t wait to eat more burgers at summer bbqs -I just got super excited to…

I think everyone on twitter and facebook already said this a million times today, but oh my goodness the weather made me feel amazing!!! Though I wanted to do something outside, I was stuck in a staff meeting and I really wanted to take the muscle pump class at my gym because I look forward to it all week. Perhaps I can fit in a walk tomorrow if it doesn’t rain. I keep thinking we’ve emerged from this dark winter,…
It was a low-key weekend around here because of the big holiday week coming up. So, we got drinks & nachos with friends on Friday, and had date night on Saturday. Of course, other boring things like laundry, spinning, and grocery shopping took place. Matt and I have been planning to buy our wedding bands during the annual sale at Diamonds Direct – I was expecting it around Christmas, but was surprised to hear that it was this weekend! So,…
I had another great day in the classroom! It almost gave me the itch to go back to school…and then I remembered that education costs a fortune. And I can’t spend a fortune, because I need beer money… I had planned on going to the Davidson soccer game along with a pre-game gathering in Chapel Hill this evening, but it got rained out. So Matt and I grabbed a beer instead! It was quite exciting because Matt has been so…
Hi, How’s the going? I can’t believe it’s Friday again (almost). The four-day work week is so nice, but makes for more work crammed into four days! Work is picking up and I’m getting more comfortable with my buildings. But I’m still completely wiped out. I’ll just never be good at getting up at 6. I want to be good at it, I really do. At least I’m good at eating. I wanted to make something new this week, so…
Happy Tuesday. After a failed day of babysitting (kid got sick = I went home), I tackled my to-do list and got in some extra relaxation. Matt and I leave for Atlanta in three weeks, so we paid a visit to Hillsborough to see my parents and have dinner. I had also hoped to vote, but when I let it slip that I live in Durham now, I wasn’t allowed to vote in Hillsborough where I’m registered to vote (duh,…
T’was a peaceful Monday in Durham. I did, you know, Monday things. Like going to the grocery store and packing lunch for work. And smiled about what a nice weekend it was. And I didn’t throw together dinner at the last minute. I got out the food processor and made black bean burgers on delicious Great Harvest buns. Sitting outside at night has made dinners much more pleasant! I feel like I eat more slowly and really enjoy the food…
Today was the perfect balance of productivity and relaxation: Internet and TV time, outdoor run, grocery store, lunch with fun new groceries, intensive cleaning of apt, more TV time, home-made black bean burgers, prep for tomorrow, blog, and then reading The Help for the rest of the evening! Don’t ya just love days like that? Poor Matt is intensely studying for two big exams and I know he’d kill for the kind of free time I enjoyed today. The weather…
Boston is truly an amazing city filled with great restaurants, unique bars, and beautiful sights… Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the my Best of Boston! I apologize that I don’t have links to all of the recommendations – I visited some of these places before I started blogging.
