Greetings. How was your Wednesday? I worked out before work this morning and it seems to be getting a bit better in terms of how I feel the rest of the day. And I guess feeling a little tired is much much better than the dread of having to exercise after work. Mental obstacles are much harder than physical ones. My work load always seems to pick up around Wednesday – today actually flew by and I felt a nice…

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…
Man, I love weekends. And I love eating out. But you guys already knew that. Last night, my parents took us to Cuban Revolution at American Tobacco. Though we hadn’t heard great things about the food, my dad and I love restaurant.com and couldn’t turn down a $25 gift certificate. The weather was a bit cooler yesterday so we were able to enjoy the patio without sweating. I ordered white sangria, but it was pretty watery and plain, so I…
I had a very nice day at work yesterday and then went to happy hour over at Alivia’s. I love the patio and I have a feeling I’ll be spending a lot of time there. I had a magarita and then asked Matt if he wanted to get a sandwich at Parker and Otis (I can’t stay away!). They had live music on the patio and $3 bottles of beer and it was just a perfect dinner. Loved this beer!…
Well aside from my blog being all out of sorts (sorry guys!), I had a fabulous weekend. Durham finally feels kinda like home, and not just some strange place I am visiting on an extended vacation. After running errands all day Saturday, I came home and split this Trippel with Matt. It was strong with a spicy-hop finish and I give it two thumbs up! Hopefully, I can add a few new beers to Beer Love once the blog is…
Hi Friends, This weekend has been quite relaxing so far. Honestly, today has been most settled I’ve felt since the move back in June. All our furniture is here and the only thing we have left to do is hang a million pictures. My body also seems to be adjusting to my work schedule because I actually had the energy to go out last night. Matt and I walked over to Toast, a little cafe on Main St. that pairs…
Well I survived my first day of a real job, which makes me officially an adult. At one point during the day I was organizing my desk and I stopped and thought I’m getting paid for this! It felt so good to have a desktop computer and voicemail and filing cabinets and other adult things that I never really had at my internship. Space just for me! Now I hope I like the actual work. Although apparently it’s not…
This morning I picked up Insight and Matt and I went for a ten mile ride on the American Tobacco Trail. Who knew this was a less than a mile from my apt!!!?? I’m so excited to have a place to ride without having to worry about traffic. I could bike all the way to the mall from downtown! I was a bit antsy this afternoon. I went to the pool for a bit, but didn’t want to get…
Yesterday was about celebration and relaxation. We slept in till 9 and then I made the birthday boy pancakes. It’s only been about three weeks since we’ve had pancakes and the first bite made me realize that I’ve missed our Thursday pancake ritual so.much. We did some more unpacking and furniture assembly and fit in a quick couples workout in my apartment’s gym:) Then we headed to the lake! We’re already obsessed with the sandwiches and salads at The…
