Thoughts from a Thursday

Pregnancy Ramblings

-Another week has gone by and we’re still date-nighting and nesting. This past week, we had kombucha at Remedy and then a nice, long dinner at favorite HG Supply. -I’ve never felt more organized and efficient at work. I’m keeping my inbox to the bare minimum and I reply with lightning speed every time something comes up. I worry about going into labor with unfinished business, and I don’t want to have to think about a thing during maternity leave.…

Beauty & The Beast with ScoreBig

Twenties

Gosh I love Dallas. Now that the weather is warm, I’ve been taking more walks and soaking in the sunshine. Last night, I had the opportunity to walk downtown to see Beauty and the Beast! ScoreBig contacted me about trying their website to buy tickets to an event and provided me with $100 towards the tickets. Woohoo! If you aren’t familiar with ScoreBig, the site offers tickets for sports, concerts, theater, Broadway, family shows, and attractions. I found the website…

The Blind Butcher and Betty Who

Weekends

This weekend was such a good one, filled with food and other festivities! Friday, Matt and I tried a new neighborhood eatery called The Blind Butcher. The atmosphere (upscale pub/speakeasy), service, and food were fantastic. And we were quite pleased when the bill came to $40! A mint julep and the soon-to-be famous pretzel bread with mustard to start: We ordered the pastrami egg roll appetizer, which was my favorite item of the night. It was crispy on the outside…

New Orleans: The Sights

Travel

Matt and I had both been to New Orleans before, but it was a long time ago for me and only a 48 hour trip for Matt. So, we wanted to see the sights. We had planned to do a ton of walking and a few morning runs, a historic bike tour of the city, and a walking tour of the French Quarter. Sadly, we had rain and unusually cold temperatures, so we weren’t up for as much outdoor activity…

Enchiladas and Other Ramblings

Cooking The Working World

Last night was a blast – Ingrid was phenomenal and Rufus was hilarious! Before the show, we had a delicious Aviator winter beer – I promise to update my beer page soon! It seems like incredible Belgians and high gravity seasonals are the only brews that make the list these days… I made a big batch of sweet potato and black bean enchiladas – haven’t made these in forever! I think they are better reheated than fresh out of the…

Wedding Weekly: Music

Wedding

The music at our wedding is VERY important to me. I’ve always imagined having a really classy band that could play all the good wedding songs at the beginning and then awesome versions of today’s hits once the crowd gets going. Sadly, when I realized that a wedding on an island (my wedding is a small gathering on Bald Head Island, NC for those who don’t know!) came with some extra expenses (i.e. delivery fees, transportation, ect), my dream band…

On the Drive Home

Life Travel

Sometimes six hours in the car isn’t the worst way to spend a Monday:) I packed snacks and listened to all my old cd’s from high school. It’s weird how songs can bring back specific memories. Highlights: Ataris – San Dimas High School Football Rules Tim McGraw – Greatest Hits Cd Jo Dee Messina – Burn Cd The Starting Line – Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now Reality Bites Soundtrack Where The Heart Is Soundtrack Jimmy Eat World – Clarity Cd…

Myers + Chang + Meat

Uncategorized

I can finally cross Myers + Chang off my list, although I’m already excited to go back. The food was even more delicious and unique than I had heard! These kitties welcomed us into the restaurant with their mechanical paws. Mmmm…red wine. The Côtes du Rhône was bold and spicy, just how I like ’em. Matt and I had a difficult time deciding what to order, but we ultimately ordered based on our server’s recommendation. Up first: the sweet potato…
