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…

Yall know I love nights out during the week. Tonight was no exception. I went to the wine bar for a small wedding shower for one of my Fuqua friends. We all brought an ornament to share- a very cute idea! I had a wonderful glass of red wine. I actually don’t even know what it was because I asked the bartender for a recommendation and he poured a glass. The wine bar is called Six Plates because they have…
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…
Between 2 and 9 o’clock, I had tastes, sips, or pours of all of the following – handpicked by Matt’s mom based on my beer page and preferences. I LOVED them all!! Sooo spoiled:) The weather was so beautiful today; Matt and I went for a jog this morning and then we sat outside, just drinking and talking for a good part of the afternoon. Twas glorious and I’m so thankful to be living in the South! Around 4:30, we…
The pie has been baked, the brussels have been chopped, the appetizers have been prepped, the table has been set, and a box of foil has been set on fire (whoops!). Now I’m ready to relax! Thank goodness my boss let us go at 3, or I would have never accomplished everything on my list before heading to Hillsborough to grab a beer. If only I could come home at 3 every day, I’d be much more productive. Now if…
I’m very tired, but very excited. We’ve had a slight change in plans; We’ll be hosting Thanksgiving in Durham so that Matt’s parents can see his little sister play in the Elite Eight (soccer) on Friday. Given that I’ll be in my own kitchen, I decided to do some cooking of my own to contribute. So instead of packing, I’ve been cleaning, menu planning, and grocery shopping. I’ve actually never helped with Thanksgiving cooking, so I’m pretty excited to try…
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…
Friends, I had a fabulous weekend. It’s the first time I felt really relaxed in a few weeks – no plane rides, no hosting, just Matt and I enjoying Davidson. We arrived around noon on a beautiful fall day. After saying hello to a few friends and grabbing beers at the alumni tailgate, we took a long walk around campus. And we also watched some football! Davidson pulled off a very exciting win at the last minute. We stopped into…
I’m on the plane headed back to RDU:( I was prepared for a very quick trip and it felt like the trip was only a few minutes! After napping and nursing my food coma, Kath and I headed to the 36th floor of the Grand Hyatt to have a drink with a friend of her’s who happened to be in town. Of course I didn’t actually have a drink because I was still too full. The view was fun though,…
