Things are starting to get busy at work, which is good, but it means I came home very tired today. Thinking that I’d broken my fear of going home before the gym, I decided to repeat yesterday’s routine and relax before taking a 5 o’clock spinning class. Nope, didn’t happen. I guess my epiphany just wasn’t as exciting today. But, I did clean the kitchen and start on a project for work that I had been putting off for a…

Today was just one of those days. I was sad that my friends were gone, the festivities I had been looking forward to for weeks are over, and my stomach was cramping because that just how it rolls. I really needed an attitude adjustment. I took the weekend off from the gym, so I knew it was in the cards after work, but the thought of going straight home was too enticing. The couch won. Usually, once I go home…
They’re here! My apt is all clean and ready for guests… and the guests came bearing gifts! These are cupcakes (that obviously got damaged in transport) from Fancy Cakes by Leslie in Bethesda!!! They were all delish, but the red velvet with purple icing was my fav. I’m assuming the ganache frosting may have had soy lecithin in it, but I made an exception, and had no adverse reactions [yet]!!! We popped open a bottle of wine from my small…
Hiya, Pancake Tuesday got moved to Thursday this week due to the late night on Monday. I had completely forgotten about them, but Matt was busy in the kitchen when I got up:) These were extra special because there were chocolate chips hiding under that peanut butter. What a fabulous way to start the day. Today flew by because I left school to attend a fascinating lunch lecture on food addiction at the local community health center. I was surprised to…
I was in a surprisingly good mood today…I think I’m starting to get very excited about my visitors this weekend! There’s nothing too exciting to report from my internship, but I did take Jon to soccer today. I can’t believe how quickly the scenery changed from this: To this: The sky is gloomy, the leaves are changing, and there are far less kiddos on the playground. I was huddled in my coat on the bleachers and was frozen after an…
Yesterday was delightful. The other intern and practicum students at work were kind enough to bring in lots of treats in celebration of my birthday (and the other fall birthdays at work). I didn’t try everything (because of soy lecithin), but these pumpkin cookies (made by Lauren) were awesome and almost cake-like. I also had some homemade apple crisp made with apples picked over the weekend! I felt a little lost after work because I didn’t know if I should…
It’s so cold outside, but these flowers have been warming up my apartment all week. I’m not used to have something so delightful in my living room. Today was great. I felt normal, got a lot accomplished at work (including finishing my first report!), and I enjoyed some free time at home. I also got re-aquatinted with the gym with an unexpected and surprisingly enjoyable run on the treadmill. Tomorrow, I’m headed to a bullying conference in the ‘burbs. Is…
Well Hello. I’ve been doing a lot of fun stuff lately, but today was just a typical day. I think I’m a bit burnt out because headaches are becoming a regular part of my routine. I’m wondering if I’m grinding my teeth at night again? The only experiment I can think of to test this hypothesis is to pop in the old retainer for the next couple of nights and see if there’s any difference… Basking in fall weather is…
Celebrating is so fun:) Especially when it means going out to dinner on a week night! We chose Turner Fisheries, a swanky Back Bay restaurant that focuses on serving fresh, sustainable fish, simply because we had a restaurant.com gift certificate. When in grad school, the budget rules… That would be Mahi in a brown butter sauce over lobster pilaf. This was tasty and satisfying, but not incredible. Though Chunks of lobster are always appreciated on a Tuesday night. Thanks for…
