Positive

Life Twenties

Guys, My cold got a lot worse and I pretty much had a horrible day at work (part-time employees don’t get sick days). I’m trying to stay positive, so I’m just gonna leave you with some of my favorite memories in pictures. Enjoy. Just noticed they all involve eating, friends, and drinking:)…

On Stress

Life Ramblings The Working World Twenties

Sometimes, I get tired of people (and Doctors) telling me that I’m stressed. I mean, I went to school – stress is that feeling when you have a million exams and tests piled up, right? I haven’t had that school-stressed-out feeling in a while, so I just assumed that I don’t get stressed much anymore. But lately, I’ve been re-thinking that. Perhaps stress just feels different now, especially because I stress about different types of things? I think I can…

Half Pours

Life

I had plans to cook a nice dinner this evening and then life happened. Good life – drinking wine with friends over at West End! I love to sample, so half pours are perfect for me! I got my riesling and then some cava. So delish on a hot night! I came home and was just too tired to cook. So I ate a good old sammie with avocado + bacon – one of my favorite combinations. It’s late and…

Protest

Life Twenties

Does the monotony of everyday life ever make you feel like a boring person? I’m not very spontaneous anymore because the self discipline that comes with being an adult has taken over. I once read that self discipline is a limited resource… Since graduation I feel like, as an adult, I’m supposed to just work, exercise, eat healthy meals, and save money during the week. I think the thing I miss most about college is the feeling that the only…

Hot Bar

Life

Seven hours of report writing later and Tuesday is over. Whew! That was not a fun day at work. But, the good news is that I’m all caught up with report writing for the first time since I started my job in January! Good thing I’ve got three new referrals coming next week:) Dinner was a special treat at Whole Foods. I met new friend and fellow blogger Katie at the hot bar! I got my usual bowl, with a…

SB – Take Two

Life

So what I was trying to say last night before Ecto ate my post (I pushed publish and it disappeared) is that I’m enjoying just being at home during spring break. Vacations are fun, but getting things done that have been lurking on my to-do list has also been nice. Sometimes being at home is much more relaxing than traveling to relax. Ya know? Monday, I hung out with my mom and we went to an impromptu dinner at one…

Mad

Life

Don’t you hate it when you get really mad at yourself? First, can I tell you how good this french bread pizzas was? I’ve been craving this since my childhood I think. I was able to get a fresh garlic and parmesan baguette and I topped it with pepperoni of sorts, mediterranean feta, freshly grated romano cheese, and slices of provolone, basil, and oregano. Oh so satisfying!! And then I got furious at myself! You see, I had spent almost…

Thoughts from [a run on] a Thursday

Life Ramblings

I don’t think I’ve been on an outdoor run since December. I don’t do winter. I discovered a greenway near my work and it was a great place to run. Gotta do that more often. Running outside really hurt my knees and I move at the pace of a snail. There were so many fun houses to look at. It’s funny how my taste has changed. I used to be so concerned with the size and cub appeal, but now…

Beer Mine

Life

I had way too many conversation hearts and I got to watch the Lion King – awesome V-day in my book. Also, it was fun to babysit because the kids brought home Valentine’s from their classmates and were really pumped to look through their bags. I usually claim that I’m neutral about Valentine’s Day – I don’t love it or hate it. But I think I just say that as a defense mechanism, because my feelings about the holiday used…
