Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
Happy, wet, snowy, Monday if you are in the D.C. area or in the Northeast! For all of you in the Northeast, in particular, please stay safe and warm as the alleged blizzard slowly makes its way to you.
Yesterday Tommy and I celebrated the 30th birthday of one of our dear friends, Lindsay – last name Bomar – hence the blog post title. 🙂 [Read more…]
Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday!
The Saturday after July 4th, July 5th respectively, was another busy day for Tommy and me. We had two birthday parties to attend – one in Falls Church, VA and one in Bowie, MD. Nowhere near each other. 🙂 It all ended up working out fine and we had so much fun at both shindigs. [Read more…]
Thoughts and prayers go out to the victims friends and families in the mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C. Like many others I watched in horror and sadness at all of the unfolding news coverage on TV.

1) I treated my friend Liz to a belated 30th birthday dinner at Seasons 52. Of course it was delicious! The icing on the cake? Complimentary glasses of champagne for a birthday toast! For more information on Season’s 52 go here. [Read more…]
On Sunday I woke up at 5am to bang out a workout before hopping on the train to New York City so I could partake in some of the weekend-long festivities for my friend Christina’s 30th birthday. (You may remember that Christina was my San Francisco, wine country, half marathon buddy). Unfortunately due to my earlier holiday weekend plans (here & here), I couldn’t join until the last two days of the long weekend celebration. It was a pretty quick trip as I was leaving on Monday evening, but so worth it! [Read more…]
Katie and I began our Saturday running a couple of errands for another friend of mine who was also celebrating his 30th birthday that day, a BBQ at his house! She had beer to buy and I had part of his present to purchase. Our errand spree ended with us each being able to get a free, delicious omelette made for us for breakfast! (I had forgotten that my condo’s monthly free breakfast had been that morning. We were able to sneak in at the very, very, very end of the breakfast. 🙂 They both were delicious. [Read more…]
1) The celebration continues! Several super awesome friends of mine who weren’t able to make Saturday night’s festivities (blog post on that tomorrow) treated me out to a belated birthday dinner at Graffiato last night. It was when I was coming up the escalator from the metro home that I realized I hadn’t taken any pictures. Super fail. The meal highlights were definitely the White House pizza and the Amish Chicken Thighs. [Read more…]
Happy Monday everyone! Hope everyone’s week is off to a wonderful start. 🙂 Mine is, just a little tired, but nothing an afternoon cup of coffee can’t fix!
This weekend was affectionately called my birthday extension weekend. Since my actual birthday happened on a week day last week, we decided to save the serious “I’ve just turned 30 partying” for the weekend. 🙂 [Read more…]
So I turned 30 yesterday. It was a wonderful day, appropriately ending with a wonderful night!
Tommy and I went to Bibiana, an award-winning Italian restaurant, for my birthday dinner. We had a great time!! The food was delicious and the decor and ambiance were perfect. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful in assisting us with our culinary choices. [Read more…]
As I have seen friends before me do this (Sarah and Katie and so many others), my time has come. I am a 30 year old today. [Read more…]
As you already know, last Saturday was Tommy’s birthday, but as luck would have it scheduling conflicts have turned his special day into a special week – not that anyone is complaining! [Read more…]
