A rainy weekend made for extra relaxation and lots of couch time. Especially after I had an incredibly productive day on Friday, cleaning like crazy. Due to two weeks of spring break, I hadn’t seen Fuqua friends in quite some time, so we had a fun evening on Friday watching basketball, drinking beer, and eating pizza. Saturday, Matt and I celebrated new friends with a fantastic dinner! I met Anne when Kath was in town for a frosting feast and…

Boy am I glad I don’t have to pack a suitcase and travel tomorrow! Weekend trips are a blast, but weekends at home are sooooo nice. I’m excited to just hang out with Matt and friends, and enjoy the warm Durham spring. I’m four for four with headaches on Thursdays – I’m starting to think there’s something about my office (fluorescent lighting and no windows, stress?) that’s affecting me. I opted to take some medicine and a stroll outside and…
Why are Wednesdays soooo long? I go into Wednesdays feeling great and come out feeling like a big ball of stress. I had some issues with a report I was preparing at work and had to stay late to make last minute changes. I didn’t have much time to fit in exercise before a meeting I had this evening, so I skipped spinning and quickly biked in my apartment gym. It’s amazing how much better exercise can make you feel!…
What better way to celebrate a birthday than with pizza and beer? We went to an old favorite, Brixx pizza, to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. NC beers were on special, so I ordered the Weeping Willow Wit. Tasted just like summer! We had a balmy night, so we sat outside on the patio. This, the night shots. I ordered the pimento cheese pizza and exchanged slices with my Mom and Matt. Mine was super cheesy and the bacon was awesome!…
As you may have figured out if you’re a reader of Kath’s blog, the practicum Matt was doing was actually in India! He’s been gone for 13 days and he’s finally home!!! It was a bit lonely here, but I kept myself busy with two weekends with family. Last night, we celebrated his homecoming with a beer. He came bearing Indian jewelry and scarves, as well as Indian desserts! These were definitely different, but really good! My guess is some…
Time sure does fly when you’re having fun. We lucked out with fabulous weather and got to spend some time on the beach. We took two long family beach walks and enjoyed a picnic lunch yesterday. We encountered lots of animals this weekend, including two unpictured snakes! Friday evening, we enjoyed the view from the inn and continued to celebrate my mom’s birthday with prosecco. Man, this was good. We had dinner at the Bald Island Club bar, where I…
Whew. I made the ferry, with only minutes to spare! I had planned on taking the 7 o’clock, but found myself pulling into Southport at 5:55! I arrived an hour ahead of schedule and was able to join my family for dinner! Warm temperatures called for Mexican beer, hot bread with black bean relish, and a cobb salad covered in toppings! I kept dinner on the lighter side because birthday cake is mandatory every night this weekend. I ordered a…
Just popping in to say hello – I’m packing again and I’m hitting the road right after work tomorrow. It’s my mom’s birthday weekend, so I’m meeting my parents and sister at Bald Head for cake, food, fun, and beach! And this time, I might even get to put my toes in the sand because the forecast looks great! In the interest of time, I heated up some TJ’s black bean taquitos, along with some sweet potato chips and salad…
T’was a lovely day for babysitting. I think it was the first time since I started in January that I wasn’t freezing in that huge house. I took the bulldog out for a bathroom break and the whole neighborhood was bustling – kids playing, people mowing their lawns and filling up pools, and birds chirping away! Everything is reawakening, including me! My energy level is worlds better than it was last week. I found the laundry card in one of…
