Howdy. How are you? You know it’s bad when you take two Tylenol PM and still can’t sleep. Talk about a zombie. Now I know why Michael Jackson kept upping his dose. Miraculously, I felt a billion times better when I woke up and got to work today. I’m really plowing through my to-do list and I will meet all my deadlines very soon! T minus 3 weeks to go!!! After work, Matt helped me throw together a fabulous summer…

Though I usually babysit on Tuesdays, I spent 8 hours with the little one today. I usually do a half day with two kids, and today I did a whole day with one. And it was sooo much easier! Made me miss my nanny job in Boston. I took the stroller out for an hour walk in the gross weather this morning and managed to get the baby down for two 1+ hour naps. It was a lovely way to…
Hello, hello. I made lasagna for my valentine, since he has class tomorrow night. I need to make this more often – it’s so easy and so good. I assembled it earlier in the day and just popped it in the oven this evening. However, I forgot that it takes an hour and it was torture smelling it when I was hungry and waiting for it to cook! This was kind of a last-minute decision, so I used shredded carrots,…
Thanks to Thanksgiving, I’ve been feeling more motivated to cook! Leftover turkey = turkey and rice casserole. I’m tired of turkey; it needs to go! I picked this recipe because it was easy and relatively healthy. I added some pepper jack to the top because I can’t live without cheese! It was a bit bland, but hot out of the oven and mixed with the almonds and blue cheese from my salad, the whole pile tasted pretty awesome. I…
Whew. The past couple of days have been a whirlwind. In fact, the whole month of October has been a blur and it continues this weekend when I head to the west coast for Foodbuzz. I’m trying to savor all the fun events, but time is moving so fast. As my post last night alluded to, my friends and I had margaritas and dinner on Friday night. We then headed to a funky community space/bar called Pinhook for Scaryoke. We…
I spent my afternoon baking! I was in charge of dessert for an end-of-year party tomorrow night. I know I much prefer homemade dessert, so I figured everyone else would too. I was kind of dreading coming home and dirtying up the kitchen, but as soon as I got started, I was reminded of how much I enjoy baking! Although, I do not do well around endless amounts of dough… I mixed up the dough and then let it chill…
It was back to work today, but I’m so excited for another short week, that I barely noticed:) I went in a little late today because the supervisors were at a meeting and I managed to fit in a little stair climbing before work. Coming home this afternoon with the gym already out of the way was glorious. I laundered, I cleaned, I relaxed, I applied to more jobs. I desperately need a haircut and considered getting one, but I’m…
Hi there and happy [end of] Monday! I had a very nice day that ended in a special Monday treat. I got my fingers and toes painted in preparation for graduation on Friday! I am not a nail salon person, but it’s only because I’ve never had a real job and thus can not justify spending money on that type of thing regularly. But I do love feeling girly and put together! If you went with me to the nail…
Hello, Hello, I’ve had and wonderful weekend with lots of festivities. Sadly, I left my camera at a friend’s house, so you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the full recap. Until then, I’ve leave you with the details of my Easter relaxation. Matt and I were planning to check out the Old South Church in the Back Bay, but after two very late nights in a row, we just didn’t make it up and out the door in time…
