Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
Tommy and I had another (finally) date night!
We went to see Chris Cornell at the Strathmore. We had only been to the Strathmore one other time, but had loved it. The venue is just so cool and it’s also nice to do something out of the ordinary once in awhile – something being attending a musical performance of some kind, for us. [Read more…]
And…you thought I had forgotten my “date night” posts! To be fair to Tommy we’ve probably had several impromptu date nights since our last OFFICIAL date night in August at Chefs Behind Bars, but we started the official date night train again last night. 🙂 [Read more…]
Playoffs start tomorrow with the first game for the Nationals beginning at 3:10pm against the San Francisco Giants. And guess who is going to the game? THIS GIRL! Can you tell I am pumped? [Read more…]
Today was definitely a smoked salmon bagel day. 🙂 Work has been busy and a little stressful and Tommy and I ran a nice little 3 mile run this morning. [Read more…]
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…]
Happy Tuesday! For all you DMV folks out there (D.C./Maryland/Virginia area) happy snow day. 🙂 [Read more…]
1) Mom’s birthday cake I got at Hello Cupcake. Yep – they do “occasional” cakes now! (This includes wedding). Everyone who tried a piece raved about it. I thought it was pretty good myself. 🙂 [Read more…]
Last week I went to the Kennedy Center to see a ballet – Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty. I liked it. I thought Bourne was very creative with his vision and interpretation for this production. He definitely put a modern twist on it – a Gothic romance complete with vampires. Yes, vampires. [Read more…]
Tommy and I attended a beautiful wedding in Virginia’s wine country last Friday late-afternoon for Tommy’s good friend Darin from their Marine days. Tommy was one of the groomsmen. We had so much fun at the wedding and wish Darin and his beautiful wife Austine a lifetime of happiness! [Read more…]
Finally able to catch my breath to think, thank, and appreciate this moment, I thought I would do a little “blog by the numbers” if you will over this year. [Read more…]
