Smokey Joe’s Cafe
I had a busy little Friday night after work!
I met my friend Arlene and some of her co-workers for happy hour at McCormick and Schmick’s near both of our offices. If you didn’t know, they do a very good happy hour. Arlene and I ordered a couple rounds of delicious Zinfandel and some apps (of course) that included fried calamari, french fries, and chicken sliders. Sooo healthy… [Read more…]
Audio Book Fan?
Happy Thursday!
Hope everyone’s day is going well. It’s almost Friday!
Moving out of the city has certainly given me more time in the car, as I drive to and from D.C. for work. Always one to make the most of my time I found ways to utilize my time spent in the car – catching up on the phone with friends and family, day dreaming, thinking about things, listening to music on satellite radio….and most recently listening to an audio book.

Waterfront Dining
Our Saturday started off early. Tommy, a couple of friends of ours, and I were at our condo at 7:00am to finish painting our condo. (We are renting it – renter moves in May 9th! – and have been in the process of getting it “move-in ready” for said renter). [Read more…]
Tuesday Tidbits Easter Edition – 75
I hope everyone (who celebrates it) had a wonderful Easter Weekend! I certainly did – the entire weekend was just great. You already know what our plans were on Friday and you’ll see what we did on Saturday tomorrow. (Sorry things are a bit backward!)
On Sunday, while Tommy helped a couple of our friends move, mom and I were making things happen in the kitchen! Easter dinner was set for 4:00pm and we had tons of things to make. In addition to Tommy, mom and myself, we had two friends and their dog joining us for the holiday meal. [Read more…]

Happy Monday!
Today officially marks my first day of training for the Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon in July. Woot, woot! Today was a stretch & strengthen day so I did something I hadn’t done in awhile. I completed a full body lifting workout, which felt great. The workout included flat dumbbell presses, squats, dead lifts, dips, and lunges. My arms are already feeling the burn! [Read more…]
Early Morning Vet Appointment
This Good Friday started off with an annual checkup visit to the vet for Ms. V. As you may remember, Violet certainly has had her fill of vet visits the last month or so, (here and here). [Read more…]
George Washington Parkway Classic 10-Miler Playlist
Happy Hump Day! Hope your Wednesday is treating you well so far.
My week of “taking it easy” with workouts is going splendidly. I rested on Monday and Tuesday and headed to my favorite barre class at Vida this morning. I hadn’t been to this class for a few weeks because of work travel and my 10-Miler training schedule so it felt good to get back to it. I definitely sweated a lot…

2014 George Washington Parkway Classic 10-Miler Recap
Another race down in the books! My trusty running buddy, Katie and I, completed the GW Parkway Classic 10-Miler yesterday. Though this race was a “local” race (in Alexandria), it felt like a mini-destination race because of the process – which wasn’t a bad thing at all! [Read more…]
