It happened: my first real weekend work day. I was stuck in the office on Sunday longer than some people spend at work on a weekday. It was a shame to have a 1-day weekend, but at least the work I was doing was interesting. There’s also been some other fun stuff going on: Throughout…

If you’re a New Yorker, I highly recommend a weekend trip to Philly. I went this past weekend as a belated anniversary/valentines celebration with Albert who planned the whole thing as a surprise. I love exploring new places so a weekend getaway is ideal. It’s only about an hour and a half away so there’s…

I don’t know about y’all, but I felt completely rejuvenated after my long Presidents Day weekend. I came back to work ready to tackle the week, excited that I was already one day closer to the weekend. Tulips are an under-appreciated flower.
