Lake Weekend: Part 2
Picking up where we left off yesterday....After a fun night celebrating in downtown Hunstville we still managed to get up at a relatively decent hour. We popped some Sister Shubert rolls in the oven, threw on bathing suits and lathered on the SPF. After breakfast we hurried down to the boat-not wan…
Bikinis, Boats and Besties
It's hard to do justice to a most wonderful weekend! I left work Thursday, hopped on the Amtrak and then an airplane and in no time I was in Hunstville, Alabama with six of my best friends! We did so much in the too-short time we had with each other but most importantly, we caught up on each o…

From what I gathered he was being used to "stick-it-to-the-man" by the angry protest group that was marching around him. Um.... yeah. I wont pretend to understand what they were all wor…Date Night
The other night Peter and I had an actual, semi-spontaneous, perfectly lovely date night! I am still glowing and smiling about it- he was just so sweet. Since moving up to D.C we don't see each other during the week as much as before/as much as I would like to- in fact when we got together last…

Moving Mayhem
