I’m very tired, but very excited. We’ve had a slight change in plans; We’ll be hosting Thanksgiving in Durham so that Matt’s parents can see his little sister play in the Elite Eight (soccer) on Friday. Given that I’ll be in my own kitchen, I decided to do some cooking of my own to contribute. So instead of packing, I’ve been cleaning, menu planning, and grocery shopping. I’ve actually never helped with Thanksgiving cooking, so I’m pretty excited to try…

I think I’ve been feeling less tired lately, so I figured it was time to get in the kitchen. When I saw Kat’s pot pie over the weekend and realized that I had many of the ingredients, I knew it had to happen. Since my stomach rejected the world, I no longer eat chicken wings [skin], so this was a nice way to get some of that buffalo chicken flavor in my life. And blue cheese cornbread? Oh yeah.…
Weekends rock. There’s just nothing better than a sunny, relaxing, delicious weekend. I had to work on Saturday morning, but it was for a graduation ceremony that I helped plan, so I actually enjoying seeing all of my work come together. The time flew by and it didn’t feel like work at all! Though it did leave me pretty tired for the rest of the weekend. I still managed to fit in a quick 6 mile ride on the American…
1. Sometimes rainy days are fun. But only when I’m with my space heater. 2. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and beer are just around the corner! 3. Working on a Saturday means it’s really only Wednesday:( 4. Basketball season kicks off tomorrow with the Duke-Davidson game. I’m so lucky that Matt found a ticket for me. 5. Pumpkin oats just get better and better. 6. It’s only November and I’m already turning into a brunette. 7. Not only was I…
I haven’t been to happy hour in a while, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to make me happy, so I looked forward to it all day. The partners hosted at Bull City Burger, which is quickly becoming a favorite for a good beer and an inexpensive dinner. I couldn’t resist another sampler, especially because I spotted a coffee-chili stout that I just had to try. It was really good and I could taste both flavors. There’s something to be said…
It sure doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving is next week. I’m loving the temps, but I need chilly air to get in the holiday mood. I’m sure it’s just around the corner. The new AM sun and the balmy weather allowed me to go on a nice run before work this morning. And for that I am thankful. Though it’s really tough getting started on a run early in the morning, I do find them energizing for the day to come.…
Twas a pleasant Monday. Having the sun back in the morning is so very nice and the weather was balmy this am. It sure made getting to 6:30 spinning more enjoyable. And, the class was a fun one. I hadn’t been to SYNC in a while and it was good to be back. Enter 9 hours at a desk with a perfect lunch time stroll in the middle. I had a nagging stomach ache from yesterday’s flare up, but I…
Literally, after work, when I was running errands (getting gas being one of them), I ran out of gas in a parking lot. I’m too cheap to fill up. Luckily, I just walked across the street to the gas station and got the old civic running again. After the whole ordeal, though, I didn’t feel like going to Fuqua Friday, so I just came home and waited for Matt. When he arrived, we enjoyed two beers, one old, one new…
1. You guys are awesome and your kind words make me feel warm inside (and that’s saying a lot because I’m always cold:)) 2. Speaking of cold, it’s chilly out! What happened to fall and southern temperatures? 3. I went for my annual today and was surprised when the receptionist asked me to pay for the appointment. $60 for 20 minutes with a doctor…that could have been a nice pair of shoes or a dinner out! 4. Two spiders have…
