Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
Yesterday was a crazy day.
It began waking up at 4am because I was on a 6am train to New York City for work. (For what it’s worth, it was my first time taking the Acela train. Loved it.) I love going to New York, whether if it’s for pleasure or work. I DO NOT love going to New York when it’s rainy, cold, and windy. Terrible idea. I had to stand in line in the freezing cold and windy rain for 40 minutes. Once I got into a cab, the day started getting better. [Read more…]
I discovered Twice, a resale website that buys and sells gently worn, not too old ,second-hand clothes from another blog I read, Peanut Butter Fingers.
I was intrigued by the website because the idea of not going to a consignment store to try and sell clothes that I didn’t want anymore (because of the fit, the style, or because I was just tired of it), but that were still in very good condition was very appealing to me. Perhaps this is what you would call laziness. [Read more…]
1. I am currently reading Mr. Penumbra’s 24 hour bookstore for book club this month. While I ordinarily wouldn’t have gravitated towards this book, I’m glad to have gotten the chance to read it. It’s pretty interesting so far. I have about 100 more pages to read – hopefully I can do it by this Sunday! [Read more…]
This past weekend Tommy and I joined another couple for a weekend away at the Greenbrier, a resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. [Read more…]
My friend Katie and I met up for happy hour after work yesterday at one of my most favorite go-to restaurants in D.C., Hank’s Oyster Bar. There is a Hank’s on the Hill now, but we decided to go to the one in Dupont Circle.
It was lovely. [Read more…]
I decided to make another simple spinach quiche for a work retreat this morning. And because yours truly completely forgot to take a picture of the original simple spinach quiche on Sunday during brunch, (and thus used the recipe image off of Pinterest) here is a picture! [Read more…]
Per my “things I want to do in 2013” list, Tommy and I hosted our first brunch guests of the new year on Sunday. We had the pleasure of brunching with Ryan, Tiffany, their adorable son, Ryker, and my mom. [Read more…]
1. Remember when I was really hankering for a crock-pot? We got one this weekend! Tommy and I are excited to start cooking things in it. I spent some of this weekend looking at crock-pot recipes online. There are a couple that I am really eager to try, one of them being French onion soup. 🙂 [Read more…]
On Saturday I went to a really fun fundraiser for my friend Gia’s best friend Allison, who is currently trying to raise proceeds for Project One Nicaragua, a literary service project. Together Gia and Allison hosted the event, which consisted of Gia giving us a makeup tutorial, and thus makeovers, while we sipped on mimosas and ate really tasty finger foods that Allison had whipped up. All for the suggested donation price of $20! [Read more…]
I finally made it to Ripple! I got to check off another restaurant off my list – for some reason I get so much pleasure in crossing things off any list I make. [Read more…]
