My weekend didn’t exactly go as planned. After all that talk of de-stressing (thanks for your comments, btw!), I totally de-stressed on Friday, and then woke up with a bad cold on Saturday. Sadly, I wasn’t up to doing all the things I had planned:( But I did eat soup and sleep for 12 hours straight! Rewind to my relaxing Friday – I had given my Mom a coupon last Mother’s Day for a fancy lunch out in Durham, and…

Despite some looming showers, my mom, dad, and I made it on a hike today. We did a damp three mile loop at Umstead Park and emerged from the woods to sunny skies! It was nice to be out in nature and there sure weren’t many other people out hiking on a chilly Thursday morning. We were hungry for Mexican food afterwards, so we went to Dos Perros in Durham for lunch. I’ve only been once before, but I loved…
A girls lunch with my mom and probably the best seasonal risotto I’ve ever had A new shirt from the clearance rack Sunshine, a 60 degree day, and a clean apartment Opening this with friends momentarily Sweet Saturday…
It’s freezing and rainy today and I can’t get to the window to close it! But, I’m making a lot of progress! I’d say I’m more than half way packed, but I keep finding piles of stuff hidden away in cabinets and corners…and I’m out of boxes. I went to the gym for a quick run/stair climber combo and then had to go to city hall to get a moving permit. It was quite the interesting experience, but I…
Happy Monday. I was just giddy last night with the thought that I didn’t have to get up and go to work today! I slept till 9 (!), worked hard on a cover letter all morning, and went to noon time spinning. And the best part was coming home and being about to make whatever I felt like for lunch! I made a big old salad with banana chips, cherries, strawberries, and blue cheese. So fresh and summery. Plus this…
Hello, Hello. I’m just getting around to posting because I’ve been busy as a bee today. Matt was out of town at his 5 year college reunion so I had planned on doing a lot of lounging around. I started the lounging with a rum, triple sec, and lemonade cocktail creation (the only options in house) on Saturday, which was surprisingly fantastic. And a good ole helping of veggie burger + fries for dinner. Plus some amazing graduation cake from…
Unexpected vacation days are sooo nice! I found out about the snow day around 7 and went right back to sleep for another hour. I didn’t have much planned at work today (because the students were supposed to take midterms), so I did not feel bad taking it easy alll day. I made Matt pancakes this morning, hit up spinning class at 10, and then cleaned, organized, and worked on my to-do list all afternoon. It was such a productive…
The nor’easter is here! A friend and I drove out to Framingham this morning for the bullying conference. Luckily, we were traveling against traffic and it didn’t take too long. The conference was awesome and I’m glad I decided to go kind of last-minute. The director of the department of safe and drug-free schools gave a very witty and powerful speech on the effects of bullying and he made me want to go into educational policy. The other speakers…
After church and visiting with a college friend (!), Matt and I drove over to Chapel Hill for lunch. We went to one of my favorite sandwich places, Foster’s Market. Chapel Hill just has so many cute restaurants! I got an incredible Cuban, which was massive and meaty. I had to hand some of it over to Matt, who was very appreciative. Look what we found at Weaver Street Market…soy-free chocolate!!!! I broke right into this caramel…
