In the two weeks before the holiday break, I only have one night free. I love all of the fun plans, but it is exhausting to have something every. single. night. I’ve been so busy that I wasn’t even able to post to this site yesterday. I’ve started leaving early and passing on the alcohol…

Albert and I love hanging out, but we were each single for so long before dating each other that we have developed very distinct individual lives. That means when he’s away, my life doesn’t slow down at all. While he’s at a bachelor party this weekend, I’ve got a full calendar with a dinner, football,…

My Mom arrives this morning and my Daddy is following suit early tomorrow morning. I am so excited to see them and have so many fun NYC activities planned. I only wish it actually felt like Springtime for their visit – below 40 degrees is not ideal but we’ll certainly make it work. JC Penney…

I’ve really been enjoying this week of warm weather. It had been too cold to do anything but sit inside my apartment underneath my favorite blanket with a plate of pad see ew from my favorite Thai takeout spot. Now that it’s become bearable outside, I’ve found a renewed fervor to get out and enjoy…

Thanks to a Zpack, I’m feeling much better this week and think I might actually be ready for human interaction this weekend. Lucky for me, it’s a long weekend so I can build in plenty of friend time and me time. How great are these hammered gold bowls that Liz and Puckett got me as…
