Today’s weather was peerrfect. I don’t remember it getting this cool this early in the year though. I guess this is atypical? Matt took me to Foster’s Market for dinner tonight in honor of finishing his first round of business school exams. Foster’s is an adorable marketplace with salads, sandwiches, baked goods, and a daily hot food item. I used to go to the Chapel Hill location growing up, but have never been to the Durham one. We sat outside…

-Monday mornings are no fun. Making it to Monday evening is an accomplishment. -Lately, biking makes me feel like my brain is rattling inside my skull. I went to spinning tonight and now I have a headache in the back of my head. But it was a good class. -What is it about Don Draper? -Now that I have cable, I watch House Hunters constantly. I kind of want to move to Melbourne. -Eating is always the highlight of my…
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…
Happy Hurricane. Is it windy and rainy where you are? There are lots of trees down around here with a few power outages, but I think the worst is over. Last night, I had a good old date night. Matt and I dined at Dos Perros, a Durham restaurant that’s been high on my list since moving. We sat at the bar since we didn’t plan on having a full dinner. It had a swanky, urban vibe with exposed brick…
Hola. By Thursday, my body is exhausted, but my brain is excited! The weeks sure do fly by. I took an off day from exercise and headed to Target after work. I brought a list with me and calculated my spending as I shopped, so I wouldn’t buy more than I needed. Target can be very dangerous and I’m not used to having one around. But, it’s also noticeably cheaper than my old CVS on Mass. Ave and I was…
Ever been so busy at work that you didn’t notice an earthquake? I’m sad I didn’t feel the quake – it’s all anyone can talk about and I missed it (but don’t wish for another). I worry that one shift in the earth usually means another shift, which usually means a big shift some time in the near future. Scary. So yeah, work was crazy today. Everything that could have gone wrong with my part of the project did go…
Ahh, it feels nice to be blogging from bed. This might be the night I finally get more than eight hours of sleep. I’m such a night person, I have a really hard time settling down after playing on the internet. But I’m especially tired (because I always am on Mondays) and because my office is working hard on a huge shipping project. We’re sending out 250 boxes of textbooks to students all over the world and everyone has been…
Remember my weekly Indian meals from TJ’s? Well, I haven’t been shopping at TJ’s as much (since it’s all the way in Chapel Hill), but I found the Whole Food equivalent. Gotta love veggies in a box. But really, I so enjoy these Indian delights, esp. when I have naan and rice on hand. I seriously need to go to a real Indian restaurant soon, or have one of my new Indian friends cook something authentic for me. But, what…
Ahhh, there’s nothing like fine wine and fine food with fine friends! This evening was beautiful and since two of my best high school friends were in town, we walked over to Toast and enjoyed a leisurely dinner on the sidewalk of Main St. I debated alcohol and decided the Italian’s would indulge, so I did too. I broke my white streak and went with red. Oh, how I’ve missed red. This spicy italian wine just had so much more…
