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…

Hump Day Haircut

Cooking Durham Life

Howdy. How was your day? Tuesday seems to be my hump day – once I get through it, I immediately feel better about the week. I’m still having trouble not just living for the weekends…how do you avoid wishing away the work week when weekends are so fabulous? Changing subjects, I got the most amazing haircut this afternoon. It doesn’t look that amazing (because my hair is brassy and damaged), but the stylist was one of the best I’ve ever…

Silence

Life

It just doesn’t seem right to blog about a beer festival and rave about italian food on a day that’s marked by tragedy. So in lieu of a moment of silence, let this be a blog post of silence to remind us to remember the lost lives and to honor America.…

The Grand Tour

Durham Life

Having people over finally motivated me to hang pictures, so without further ado, here’s the ole tobacco warehouse that I now call home. View from entrance: The very basic kitchen with a pole in the middle:) My lovely new dining table; a gift from my grandmother last Christmas. That’s her art on the wall as well! An antique chair that my mom helped me get re-upholstered; I believe it was a great Aunt’s. [that’s an old elevator shaft behind it].…

In a Year

Life Ramblings Twenties

Happy Birthday TBT!!!    I’ve made it through a year of blogging! Remember this? My first post! On the surface, a lot has changed since this time last year – I graduated with a specialist degree, I said goodbye to Boston and moved south, and I got my first job. But deep down, not much has changed – I’m still on a hunt for good beer, I’m still finding my way around the kitchen, I’m still searching for that perfect…

Working Woman, Round II

Life The Working World

Hi friends – I got a bit overwhelmed this evening and didn’t have time to post, so I thought you might enjoy reading what I posted before my first day of work last year. Be back tomorrow! — Mornin’. I’m off to my first day day of work! Because I’m beginning my internship today, I wanted to start a discussion about adjusting to a full-time work schedule…. My mission on Taking Back my Twenties is not to complain, but to…

The Rundown

Life Ramblings Twenties

Welcome to my very first post!!  I hope to have an ‘About Me’ page soon, but in the meantime, I’ll give you the rundown. I graduated from a small liberal arts college in North Carolina in 2008.  Like many people, I think of my time in college as the best four years of my life.  I had (and still have) an incredible group of friends; I loved my classes and found my passion for psychology; and I met my amazing…
