One perk of Hurricane Sandy was having plenty of time to read. I had plenty of time to tear through a couple novels, including Chris Bohjalian’s “The Sandcastle Girls.” I had previously read “Midwives,” also by Bohjalian, and enjoyed it. The synopsis for this particular book didn’t look as interesting as some of his other novels,…

Since it would be the only time my grandmothers would come to New York and a bunch of out of town friends were coming for a visit, Matt’s wedding weekend was the perfect time to unveil my apartment to all my friends and family. I had put so much time, effort, and money into this…

Depressed. That’s how I feel now that Matt and Karina’s wedding weekend has come and gone. It was pretty much the best weekend ever, and I want to repeat it in full every week. I was surrounded by all my family and friends for four and a half days. Add top shelf liquor, serious dancing,…

Liz and I both had Monday off for Columbus day, but not everyone else was so lucky. While Puckett went back to work and the other boys flew back to Atlanta, the two of us had our own little bestie day. After touring the National Cathedral, we headed to Georgetown for lunch and a little…

When three Southerners reunite, we can’t help but to indulge our Southern stomachs, even if we’ve creeped up North. After a day of heavy drinking, Sliz and Puckett took me to their favorite DC bbq and bourbon, Smoke and Barrel in Adams Morgan to cap off the evening. Points right off the bat for the…
