Old Friends
Today after work (that's how all my posts begin, right?) I am going to visit with an old friend. I first met this girl in the 2nd grade, we both had Mrs. Arnold. We stayed friends through elementary, middle and high school, even when I moved to England. Unfortunately, the last time we got toget…
Hump Day Hodgepodge
Half way through this week, which means it's time to share more random stuff about myself over at the Wednesday Hodgepodge!1. July is National Ice Cream Month. What is your favorite flavor?
I love homeade peach ice cream. But it has to be homemade, other wise my favorite is Ben and Jerry's C…
Plans Change
I didn't get everything checked off my list this weekend. (I did make those styrofoam balls and they turned out better than I expected and look like something you'd buy from Pier 1-I kept them for myself rather than taking them to work, hehe). But I didn't really clean my room, and I ob…
This Weekend
I have simple plans for this weekend but mostly I plan to stay cool. I wish I had a pool to swim at or a boat to go out on.Deep clean my bedroom and bathroom. And I am embarrassed to say this... but I still have some boxes that remain unpacked. Taunting me. I have got to do something abou that.Buy …
Such a Tease
These short weekends at home are annoying!But I love them!
But they are too short!
But I need them!
It is such a tease to spend just two nights at home, to see my parents for just two days and then to head back so soon after I arrive. It's never ever enough time! I so wish I was still in my ho…
I'm Going Home!
Harry Potter was epic by the way!Yes those are themed 3D glasses- what else?
Moving on...Today, after work, I am hoping on the Amtrak for yet another weekend away! Peter and I are headed up to my parent's house for a relaxing weekend at home!
I am so looking forward to this. It's been so …
But I don't want it all to end!
Tonight (at midnight) I am going to see the final Harry Potter movie! I'll admit it's bittersweet. I am so excited to watch this epic conclusion but I can't help but feel sad. What now? What will I look forward to now? I grew up with HP and now it's over. Sigh...nothing will ever b…
A Wine Tasting and a Recipe
On Saturday Peter and his family and I drove to Middleburg, VA, about an our outside of D.C. and did a couple of wine tastings. The first vineyard we "visited," The Boxwood Winery happened to the owner's private residence so we couldn't go in for a tour but there was a tasting roo…
Mondays in My City
I guess I can call it my city now. I've been here since April, that's past trial initiation period. So, yeah- this summer, every Monday evening, in MY city there is an Outdoor Movie Festival that I think would be so fun to check out!I saw a poster for this on the "tro" (that's…
Pinnable Sides
I love meals with lots of courses or components. I like variety. But when planning usually I get an idea for the entree and then I'm stumped with the sides. Finding something that complements the main dish is not always easy. It can't be too heavy and the flavors need to not compete too muc…
Family, Friends and the Fourth
This was such a fun weekend y'all! Friday after work I flew to Houston, Texas for a dear friend from high school's wedding! My parents were already there and met me at the airport. I just love that they now live on the same continent as me and it's so much easier to get together for the…
