Anticipation

Good evening? Yes it was. I hit the sauna right after work because our weather was in the 50’s today and that means I was cold. After I warmed up, I biked for 30 and caught up on some magazine reading. I was supposed to hit up CVS for some 3 oz sunscreen, but I got lazy. I’m thinking I might not even need a new bottle because the forecast for Santa Monica is only in the low 60’s. I…

[Extra] Ordinary Veggies

Cooking

It was back to work today, but I’m so excited for another short week, that I barely noticed:) I went in a little late today because the supervisors were at a meeting and I managed to fit in a little stair climbing before work. Coming home this afternoon with the gym already out of the way was glorious. I laundered, I cleaned, I relaxed, I applied to more jobs. I desperately need a haircut and considered getting one, but I’m…

Noodles and Notes

Cooking

Oh hey. Is anyone else distracted by the weather these days? I just want to be outside laying in the sun! But, I was inside all day and I was super productive. I’m trying to plow through my work in hopes that I can leave my internship a couple of days early. We had four snow days this winter, so four more days have been added on to the end of the year. My goal is to be finished with…

Inexperienced

Cooking

Hi there and happy [end of] Monday! I had a very nice day that ended in a special Monday treat. I got my fingers and toes painted in preparation for graduation on Friday! I am not a nail salon person, but it’s only because I’ve never had a real job and thus can not justify spending money on that type of thing regularly. But I do love feeling girly and put together! If you went with me to the nail…

And things were going so well…

Another productive day over at the high school and another IEP meeting in the morning. Anyone getting up to watch the wedding? I’m actually tempted by the idea of a little mimosa gathering, but given I have to present at a meeting at 9 am, I don’t think that would be a very good idea. I might try to catch some of the news though, since I’ll be up in the six’s anyway. I attempted a treadmill run after work,…

77 with a summer drink

Cooking Ramblings

It felt like summer today – Boston reached 77!!! Yet, I still wore my pea coat over a flannel shirt this afternoon because I’m thawing out. When I was at the park, I actually overheard a girl talking about me to another, saying “I always check the weather in the morning…I feel so sorry for the people who have on wool sweaters and coats today.” Hey, I check the weather every morning too, but Boston is unpredictable and I was…

Quiet Night

Cooking

Nothing like a good meal and a cozy night on the couch. I threw this box of risotto in our WF cart this week for something different… The risotto was topped with fresh shrimp sauteed with roma tomatoes and sprinkled with grated parmesan = perfection. Oh, and the last glass of Rhode Island Red left over from Sunday completed the gastronomic experience. That’s really all I have to say:)…

The Beginning of the End

Cooking

Hello, Hello, I’ve had and wonderful weekend with lots of festivities. Sadly, I left my camera at a friend’s house, so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the full recap. Until then, I’ve leave you with the details of my Easter relaxation. Matt and I were planning to check out the Old South Church in the Back Bay, but after two very late nights in a row, we just didn’t make it up and out the door in time…

Happy As Can Be

Travel

I’m back in Boston enjoying my staycation. It was sooooo nice coming home and not having to worry about frantically unpacking, getting to the grocery store, and preparing for the work week. I wish I could have a post-vacation buffer every time I travel. Our last night in Atlantic City was another perfect night, filled with conversation, cocktails, and cuban cuisine. I’m one of those people who loves themed resorts, so the Tropicana was probably my favorite of all the…
