Sister Sister Weekend

Last week got the best of me and I never recapped the previous weekend with my sister.
A sisters only weekend. Just the two of us. A necessity.   She gets me. She picks me up- my spirits and from the airport. 
We sat on the floor of the mall and ate Dippin Dots while we simultaneously pointed out c…

Nothing I hold on to.

It's been one of those weeks.
The ones where I've felt beaten. Where the little things that I normally brush off have piled up and weighed me down and broken my spirit.

Five on Friday

la deuxième partie

It is also super convenient to the ski village without being right in the center of things. They have their own person who comes to the hotel and fitted u…

Montreal & Mont Tremblant. La première partie.

Today I am back in the office after my Canadian excursion. I took Thursday, Friday and Monday off from work (heaven) so TJ and I, plus his family could venture to Montreal, visit his sister and faire du ski. 

Thursday morning I said bon voyage to DC and flew out on Porter Airlines which I had never…

Father Daughter Time and a Trip

Last night I got to meet up with my dad for dinner in DC. He was in town briefly for work and I was so glad it worked for is to have that time together.

We headed to Old Ebbitt Grill for dinner. The food was good but the company better. The restaurant itself has, pretty dark wood interiors, gas lam…
