Why are Wednesdays soooo long? I go into Wednesdays feeling great and come out feeling like a big ball of stress. I had some issues with a report I was preparing at work and had to stay late to make last minute changes. I didn’t have much time to fit in exercise before a meeting I had this evening, so I skipped spinning and quickly biked in my apartment gym. It’s amazing how much better exercise can make you feel!…

What better way to celebrate a birthday than with pizza and beer? We went to an old favorite, Brixx pizza, to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. NC beers were on special, so I ordered the Weeping Willow Wit. Tasted just like summer! We had a balmy night, so we sat outside on the patio. This, the night shots. I ordered the pimento cheese pizza and exchanged slices with my Mom and Matt. Mine was super cheesy and the bacon was awesome!…
Despite the cold temps and brutal wind, I had a fun-filled Monday. I took advantage of my day off and met my Mom for some shopping. We mostly just looked around, but I did come home with a new bra and a cheapy Target watch. I’ve always been into watches and tend to acquire them when I see funky and inexpensive ones. I also helped my Mom find a pair of skinny jeans! Well, they probably aren’t the kind you…
Calzones for dinner! Gosh, I love this meal! I picked up a few slices of Applegate chorizo when I was at the deli counter and it was heavenly in between tomato sauce and mozzarella. And the WF wheat dough has grown on me. Twas sooo satisfying to eat this guy. So I didn’t really know it was Fat Tuesday until today. I’m just not with it these days. The family I babysit for had a King’s Cake fresh from a…
Hi Friends. This was one of the best dinners I’ve ever made. And it just materialized at the last minute in my kitchen! You see, I had Matt turn the crock pot on this morning, with a bottle of TJ’s bbq sauce, a can of beer, and some pork shoulder inside. But I didn’t really have any ideas as to how I wanted to eat it. I usually like saucy meats over rice, but had the urge for something different.…
After a weekend with friends and a fun holiday, I’ve got the post-excitement blues. But, I’m going to keep the complaints to myself today and share yesterday’s pleasures. Pumpkin beer is required on Halloween. I’d never tried this one before, so I cracked it open while I was cooking dinner. It did have a nice pumpkin flavor, but was a bit bland for my taste. I think my tastebuds were ruined by Pumking. I’ve probably made a pizza once since…
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…
Food makes my day. Today it was having fresh blueberries in my oatmeal, a Great Harvest Virginia roll with lunch, a perfect piece of strawberry shortcake from Whole Foods, and the large pizza that Matt brought home from some campus event. Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I had greasy pepperoni pizza and it was to die for. I reheated it under the broiler and the crust was crisp on the outside and doughy in the middle. I gotta…
I’m gonna make this a quick one because it’s been one of those nights where the time just slipped away from me. Matt and I had to run lots of errands for a small gathering we’re hosting tomorrow night, and by the time we’d finished, it was 9pm! By that time, I was starving and tired of making hostess decisions. That’s where a frozen pizza comes in. The last WF pizza we had was awesome. This one was not.…
