Fly Me Away

I have a crazy busy summer coming up and I am not complaining one bit!! I have been booking flights, trains, road trips and making travel plans and I'm not sure I can contain my excitement much longer. Warmer, sunnier days- Get. Here. NOW!

Already crossed off my list:
Train home for Easter-booked…

Best Pasta Salad

Hello,I have been sick the past 3 days and staring at a computer screen is the last thing I needed to do so... hopefully I'm over the hump and the rest of this week can be smooth sailing.

Yesterday, once my head stopped feeling like it was either going to float away from my body or spontaneously…

Happy Hunger Games

Tonight I am going to see the Hunger Games. Finally! I know it only came out at midnight but I feel like I am busting at the seams to get to the theater! I would have loved to go to the midnight showing but... I was asleep before midnight sooo...yeah.

I re-read the book yesterday, yes in one day! …

Cherry

We are having a cherry blossom themed "wine and cheese" tonight at work. If you were my neighbor you would have seen me out in the wet grass this morning snipping branches.
They then traveled from my kitchen (now sprinkled in soft rosy petals) to the metro station, precariously balanced …

Happy Spring Y'all

1. The first day of spring was yesterday- do you enjoy working in the yard? Weeding, raking, mowing, planting...your favorite springtime garden chore? How about your least favorite?
At the moment I have no real yard. I would love to have a fabulous garden with curvy paths running through it and a be…

Blogging Around

Last night I was doing some blog hopping- jumping around from my daily reads and checking out the blogs they follow and the people who commented on them and so on and so forth. I stumbled upon all these different small connections that just make this big 'ol Internet seem a whole lot smaller.

Monday Musings

1. On Saturday I drove out to Frederick to visit with some family. My aunt and I took a very gentle yoga class in the morning. We made fun of all the lotus flower-filled with honey-chakra talk. Even though we would have liked more of an actual work out, it actually was quite relaxing (no lie, I fel…

Hey, It's the Hodgepodge

1. St. Patrick's Day will be celebrated this coming Saturday. What's a favorite article of clothing you own that contains a touch o' the green?
Green is probably my favorite color. However I rarely wear it and don't own that much of it. I created this little green wardrobe inspirati…

Young Life Music

Every week at Young Life club I stand up in front of any where from 20-40+ high schoolers (we are growing- slowly but surely) and lead music. I'm joined by a few awesome girls who also get up there with me to sing. You may think this sounds intimidating/scary and I'm just going to let you g…

Wedding Weekend

I spent the weekend in Charlotte with some of my favorite people- my young life friends! I got down there on Friday and got to have a sleepover with my sweet friend Leah. We stayed up until 3am laughing, crying, and catching up on each other's lives. Saturday we slept in and then walked to get…

The Hodgepodge

I am linking up over at my mom's blog today for the Hodgepodge.
1. Did March come in like a lion or was it something less ferocious in your neck of the woods?
For having a rather unseasonably warm winter so far, the first few days of March have been pretty darn chilly. I'm keeping my fingers …

Style Savings

I am going to a wedding this weekend of a dear friend from Young Life. I have never been to a wedding in March and it's kind of a tricky time of year, style-wise since the weather can pretty much go either way (i.e. it might snow this week but it's also supposed to be in the 70's on Thu…

Restful Weekend Recap

Friday after work I walked over to Peter's YiaYia's house to meet them for dinner. I took my time and took some pictures of one of my favorite spots in D.C., "the Spanish steps." Obviously it's a little different than the ones they're named for in Rome but it's still …

It's Friday

I am really looking forward to this weekend. Low key. No plans.

I may head out to my relatives to spend the day there on Saturday (they don't know this yet- so I may have to shoot for another weekend). I'll play Mario Kart with my cousins, get a little too much attention from their cat, drin…

Oh What Beautiful Day!

Oh what a beautiful morning....

This is what I greeted me on my way to work this morning. Beautiful sunshiny day! I actually walked to the metro today. Usually I'm running behind or it's too dang cold and I just drive to the station. But on nice days when the sun is shining and it's alr…
