It’s Thursday and I’m finally starting to get over the sadness I always feel after my parents leave. That’s because I’m now only nine weeks away from their next visit! With lots of weddings (including one where I’ll be with them) in the middle, the time will fly by. This visit felt particularly short since…

My parents are coming tonight! Unfortunately, it did not work out that I could take the day off work tomorrow, but I am thrilled to be hanging out with them all weekend. The most important item on my nightstand right now is my Jo Malone lotion. It is saving my hands from the terribly dry…

I had big plans for last weekend and though it ended up being fun, it was more laid back than I expected. I imagined I would run around for a bit on Saturday when, instead, I binge-watched ten episodes of “Jane the Virgin” and ordered a cheesesteak for supper. I’m not saying that’s a bad…

Last week was bad. This week is better. I’m happy with that progress.

When your Monday workday ends at 1 AM, your week isn’t off to the best start. It’s been a rough one so I’m very happy we’re close to the weekend. On the bright side, I have the most supportive friends, family, and boyfriend. When this week tore me down, they swooped right in to build…

If I’m being totally honest, last week was the week from Hell at work. And then some not fun personal stuff on top of that. It was rough. The long Presidents’ Day weekend could not have come at a better time. I needed a fun-filled weekend and that extra day to regroup and now I’ve…

It is so nice to be just a few hours away from one of my bestest friends. It means there was nothing stopping me from celebrating her 30th birthday with her in DC. I have spent this week recovering and getting ready for more celebrations this weekend. Liz reserved the top room at Shaw’s Tavern.…

I am back from my Vegas vacation and no longer jet lagged. This was my 4th trip to Las Vegas, but the first that was not with a bunch of girls for a bachelorette party. I may have been with my family, but it was just as fun (albeit different) as when I went with my…

It’s been so cold in New York so I am extremely excited to head to the warmer temps of Vegas tomorrow. There are plenty of things I’m excited for, but one of them is the opportunity for a lot of quality time with my brother. We don’t always get 1-on-1 time anymore so I can’t wait…
