We continued the theme of home improvement over here this weekend. We worked all day Saturday, and I was so tired by Saturday night that I could barely find the energy to go out on a date with Matt. We knocked so many things of our to-do list, though, so we had a Sunday funday that involved a movie and a concert. Matt worked from a co-working space on Friday, so we kicked off the weekend with a trip to…
Getting a run in before work changes my whole day! I went to work a little later this morning (because of a last minute schedule change that required me to go to a different school), and I was able to go for a quick 25 minute jog around the neighborhood. It wasn’t much, but being out there in the cool morning air and being done with a workout by 7:30 just makes me feel happy and energized for the rest…
Brrr…I’ve just returned from the movie theater and I’m happy to be under the covers. My day was filled with more babysitting and in the tiny span of time between that and going to the movies, I threw together some bean tostadas. I used the lime refried beans I love so much along with jalapenos, peach salsa, and corn relish all in the oven on two corn tortillas. And my first corn on the cob of the year (wow, that’s…
Your comments from last night? The best way to make me feel better about a silly spill. Goat cheese and sun-dried tomato ravioli: hands down the best flavor from the Trader Joe’s collection. Beer left over from Christmas: the best remedy for chilly weather and a long day. The Hunger Games: the best book-to-movie I can ever remember. Getting in bed when you’re really tired and your feet are cold: among the best of the best things in life. Night.…
My weekend was….eventful! I kicked Friday off with the Vegas-style auction and poker night at Fuqua. The event seemed to be a big success, which means lots of $$ raised for the NC Special Olympics. And the weekend concluded with an Oscar event. Jill and Brendan hosted a fabulous viewing party this evening and costumes were required. Can you guess who we are? Every time the Oscars come around, I always regret not seeing more movies – they really are…
Another quick hello tonight. I had to do some grocery shopping this evening and then ate a quick dinner before heading to the movies with friends. Dinners have been pretty random these past two weeks because all the running around hasn’t left much time for cooking. Tonight I had a boring ham + avocado sandwich and fries. But I did have a great beer: Twas a mix between a wine cooler (I have fond memories of these, unlike many others),…
hola. I guess nobody wanted to share what kind of tacos you like on yesterday’s post. That’s ok. Maybe you all like all kinds of tacos. Anyway, the reason for all this taco talk is that I tried the new Nana Taco last night. For those of you who are not familiar with Durham, Nana’s is a famous upscale restaurant that’s been open for years (I’ve never been). In contrast to Nana’s, Nana Taco is an inexpensive, casual taco shack.…
My Mom & Dad took me out for tacos and a movie tonight and it’s way past my bedtime! It’s nice to have a night off every now and then. What’s your favorite kind of taco? I’m a huge fan of fish tacos, but spicy pork tacos are a close second.…
Ahhh, I had a fabulous weekend. Friday night, Matt and I took it easy and had a few beers with new Fuqua friends and then ate a late dinner at the famous Ten Tables in Jamaica Plain. I was able to get a new camera, thanks to the accident protection plan I bought at Best Buy, but it wasn’t up and running for picture taking on Friday night. The restaurant was adorable though, and I had a great burger. And,…
