Well, summer is off to a great start (knock on wood)! This weekend was totally relaxing and packed with awesome food. Our neighborhood seems so peaceful and I feel happier than I have in weeks. Matt just finished his first week of his internship, so he was pretty much content just resting and eating all weekend. Friday night, we headed to Decatur for dinner. LOVE this area! I could definitely see myself here as a 30-something. We grabbed a beer…

Does the monotony of everyday life ever make you feel like a boring person? I’m not very spontaneous anymore because the self discipline that comes with being an adult has taken over. I once read that self discipline is a limited resource… Since graduation I feel like, as an adult, I’m supposed to just work, exercise, eat healthy meals, and save money during the week. I think the thing I miss most about college is the feeling that the only…
Sorry for the day-late recap of the 4th. I’m still running around, trying to get at least a little bit organized before we leave for our 10-day trip. I had another interview today and two more tomorrow, so I’ve had to spend timing preparing for those rather than unpacking. The holiday was perfectly relaxing though, and it was nice to get away from boxes and furniture assembly for a day. No one in the family really wanted the stress of…
I love this whole having time on the weekends thing. I think I’m still recovering from being booked during the month of May. Despite the chilly weather, Friday even was nice and relaxed. I met Matt downtown afterwork and we grabbed a drink at the Intercontinental Hotel. We had planned on sitting outside on the water at one of the new Seaport restaurants, but decided it was too cold and windy. I still enjoyed a nautical drink – a pineapple…
I spent my afternoon baking! I was in charge of dessert for an end-of-year party tomorrow night. I know I much prefer homemade dessert, so I figured everyone else would too. I was kind of dreading coming home and dirtying up the kitchen, but as soon as I got started, I was reminded of how much I enjoy baking! Although, I do not do well around endless amounts of dough… I mixed up the dough and then let it chill…
After a lot of traffic and a foggy ferry, we made it to Nantucket around 8:30 last night. We had an easy going, but fun night at a bar that ended with fresh baked goods from Oliver’s (our host, and Matt’s good friend from college) mom. What a perfect night! Today has been very festive. After a quick jog, we headed into town for mid-morning cocktails. Someone in our group knew the bartender so this rum punch was strooong. Day-drinking…
Hiya. How goes it? Work was blah – I’m feeling so tired these days and I’m having a hard time feeling motivated. I got eight hours of solid sleep, so I’m not really sure what it is. Perhaps it’s still the lingering effects of my cold? Anyway, in order to keep myself awake between arriving home from work and leaving for my spinning class at 5, I did a little summer bag browsing on le internet. I found a steal…
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…
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…
