A co-worker was kind enough to host a semi last-minute Christmas party this evening. She had a delightful spread and I had a nice snacking plate and a glass of red. Her house was so warm and festive, it made me want one of my own! I haven’t had a cheese ball in years. And graham cracker bark. Almost as much as eating it, I just love examining other people’s holiday spreads. We’re getting down to the final days here,…

Hello, Hello! Thank you all for the kind words. I’m honestly a bit scared about the decision and I felt better reading your comments:) A great weight was lifted off my shoulders on Friday, so my weekend was extra fabulous. After work, I made a black bean mexican pizza and enjoyed an old favorite beer with Matt. The weekend also involved a festive tacky sweater party, and a red velvet cupcake tasting. I’m in charge of ordering the Christmas dinner…
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…
Weekends rock. There’s just nothing better than a sunny, relaxing, delicious weekend. I had to work on Saturday morning, but it was for a graduation ceremony that I helped plan, so I actually enjoying seeing all of my work come together. The time flew by and it didn’t feel like work at all! Though it did leave me pretty tired for the rest of the weekend. I still managed to fit in a quick 6 mile ride on the American…
Friday was fabulous and involved friends, a wine special, and belated birthday celebrations. Matt was out of town, so I enjoyed a much-needed girls night. My friend Emily and I began with a champagne (well, Cava) toast. Everyone kept buying me drinks, which was awesome, but soo not good for consumption. Let’s just say the night ended in me leaving my credit card at the bar and consuming bowls of late-night puffins and emergency coconut water. Thanks to my Fuqua…
Matt and I had a little something to celebrate yesterday – six years together! But due to scheduling, we didn’t even see each other yesterday. We actually plan to celebrate this weekend, but decided a little weekday wine was in order. Enter the Funf. I’ve had this bottle of wine for 3+ years. Oops. When I was at Davidson, Matt and I liked to walk across the street to the wine bar and order this riesling. This is when my…
Two happy hours makes for a happy night! I had a really nice day at work – the yoga went well and the day was full of productive reflection. The first happy hour was simply a gathering after the office retreat – we unwound with this delicious red (from a student’s winery!) and enjoyed appetizers. Drinking wine at work is fun! My second stop was the Fuqua partners happy hour at G2B Gastropub. I’d never been to G2B, as I…
