I had a near perfect weekend in New York. I felt great, I ate devine food, I danced, I drank summer beer and mimosas, I reminisced, I indulged, and I lived in the moment. And all in the wonderful company of good friends. [yes, that would be a mac and cheese sampler] As my friend Liz said over a glass of wine and great Indian food last night , Happy Birthday to Marty. How did you celebrate the holiday weekend?…

Last night I hosted a dinner for my best friends from high school. Oh, how wonderful it was to see everyone and finally really relax!! I provided the adult beverages and Kath’s/Karen’s wonderful veggie lasagna, and everyone else brought the rest. I had an eggnog + bourbon and another Sweetwater Festive, but had to stop halfway through this beer because of a bad headache:( I think the exhaustion of the week caught up with me. But, I still managed to…
Good evening. Yes it was. I actually spent the day at home. By 10am, I was developing a massive headache, my stomach was out of whack, and my whole body just felt weird. I came home, had soup, and spent the afternoon napping. It’s so weird how I just have these random episodes and then feel normal again. By 5, I felt like it was a new day. I was sad when I left work because I really wanted to…
I took your advice and got a tree! I really didn’t want to have to buy a stand, so I searched for the biggest table-top tree I could find. I ended up bringing home this adorably fat tree – it looks more like a bush:) This is only the second time we’ve ever had a tree, so we don’t have many ornaments. But both of our moms donated a few to get our collection started. We decorated the tree quickly…
Whew. The past couple of days have been a whirlwind. In fact, the whole month of October has been a blur and it continues this weekend when I head to the west coast for Foodbuzz. I’m trying to savor all the fun events, but time is moving so fast. As my post last night alluded to, my friends and I had margaritas and dinner on Friday night. We then headed to a funky community space/bar called Pinhook for Scaryoke. We…
I’m exhausted from a fabulous weekend of eating, drinking, singing, dancing, and laughing with friends. You’ll have to wait until tomorrow for a full recap:) In the meantime, Happy Halloween!!!! (these jumbo spiders are freaking me out this year…they’re everywhere!)…
I wasn’t able to fit in a post last night because I was cleaning like a mad woman. Remember last year when these lovely ladies made the trek to Boston to celebrate life with me? Well, this year, they are coming to Durham! And there’s more of them this time. We’ll be doing a bit of casual wining and dining this evening, and then I’m throwing a Halloween party Saturday night. We’re all going to be party animals, literally. Of course I’ll…
Friday was fabulous and involved friends, a wine special, and belated birthday celebrations. Matt was out of town, so I enjoyed a much-needed girls night. My friend Emily and I began with a champagne (well, Cava) toast. Everyone kept buying me drinks, which was awesome, but soo not good for consumption. Let’s just say the night ended in me leaving my credit card at the bar and consuming bowls of late-night puffins and emergency coconut water. Thanks to my Fuqua…
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…
