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…

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…
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…
So I’m a bit late with a restaurant review from this weekend. I got home late from outlet shopping and a mexican feast with my parents and I didn’t want to rush the post last night. Because the food I had this weekend deserves attention. I tell ya, Durham restaurants continue to impress. Since it was a birthday celebration and all, I made cocktails to kick off the evening. Amaretto liquor with sparking cranberry and lemon. Delightful. Then, we walked…
This weekend was just fabulous. I couldn’t have asked for better weather and I did a lot of relaxing. I wasn’t able to go out Friday night because of a stomach ache, but I got a great night’s sleep and was feeling energized on Saturday morning. I went to the mall to run some errands and eyed some things I might like if I’m lucky enough to get any birthday cash:) I made some last minute plans to hang out…
Two happy hours makes for a happy night! I had a really nice day at work – the yoga went well and the day was full of productive reflection. The first happy hour was simply a gathering after the office retreat – we unwound with this delicious red (from a student’s winery!) and enjoyed appetizers. Drinking wine at work is fun! My second stop was the Fuqua partners happy hour at G2B Gastropub. I’d never been to G2B, as I…
For the most part, my job involves working in an office. But every once and a while, I get out. Today, I led a group of students up 230 stairs to the top of Duke Chapel. Man, I was not expecting the climb to be so treacherous. Because the stairs are very narrow and dark, I climbed at a steady pace so I could to the fresh air as quickly as possible. Going round and round made me very dizzy.…
