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.…

Happiness is… watching six episodes of House Hunters in a row, a double date on a Sunday night, a half pint of Lagunitas Little Sumpin, and a huge veggie grilled cheese at the Federal. Happiness is planning your halloween costume with your best friends, the end of a Monday, a trail walk with the girls, and having eggs and cereal for dinner. If happiness is all of these moments, then what is everything in between?…
Headache At work, a man yelled at me basically out of the blue because of a mistake he made Don’t you hate it when the sale labels are confusing in stores? I had to exchange toilet paper because the non-sale kind was under the sale sign What’s with the five days of grey skies? Frozen pizza was instrumental in healing my grumpy mood Tomorrow is Friday and Fuqua is hosting a mini Octoberfest!!!!!!! I tried Sync Spinning again today and…
Howdy. How was your day? Tuesday seems to be my hump day – once I get through it, I immediately feel better about the week. I’m still having trouble not just living for the weekends…how do you avoid wishing away the work week when weekends are so fabulous? Changing subjects, I got the most amazing haircut this afternoon. It doesn’t look that amazing (because my hair is brassy and damaged), but the stylist was one of the best I’ve ever…
It just doesn’t seem right to blog about a beer festival and rave about italian food on a day that’s marked by tragedy. So in lieu of a moment of silence, let this be a blog post of silence to remind us to remember the lost lives and to honor America.…
Having people over finally motivated me to hang pictures, so without further ado, here’s the ole tobacco warehouse that I now call home. View from entrance: The very basic kitchen with a pole in the middle:) My lovely new dining table; a gift from my grandmother last Christmas. That’s her art on the wall as well! An antique chair that my mom helped me get re-upholstered; I believe it was a great Aunt’s. [that’s an old elevator shaft behind it].…
Friends, I’m Bald Head bound this afternoon, and since I’ve promised pictures for a long time, I’ll leave you with a sneak peak. I’ll post the rest if we ever when we hang pictures (we’ve hung just the one you see below). Be back tomorrow from the beach!…
Happy Birthday TBT!!! I’ve made it through a year of blogging! Remember this? My first post! On the surface, a lot has changed since this time last year – I graduated with a specialist degree, I said goodbye to Boston and moved south, and I got my first job. But deep down, not much has changed – I’m still on a hunt for good beer, I’m still finding my way around the kitchen, I’m still searching for that perfect…
Good evening? Yes it was. I hit the sauna right after work because our weather was in the 50’s today and that means I was cold. After I warmed up, I biked for 30 and caught up on some magazine reading. I was supposed to hit up CVS for some 3 oz sunscreen, but I got lazy. I’m thinking I might not even need a new bottle because the forecast for Santa Monica is only in the low 60’s. I…
