I'm coming off of a lazy weekend where we had so many plans, but in the end scrapped them all and did almost nothing else. Friday evening consisted of leftovers, a couple glasses of sparkling wine with one of the roommates, and a feature film from 2006. After learning neither my roommate or boyfriend had… Continue reading Weekend Recap

It may be the start of a new weekend, but I want to do a quick scenes from the weekend before it's obsolete! Well, we can't win'em all, so this is our camping/eclipse recap. Check in tomorrow for the most recent weekend recap. Last weekend at the crack of dawn (9am) we set out on… Continue reading The Path of Totality
Virtual Coffee Date
If we were having coffee right now I'd share with you... The extra space on my back porch step to soak up these August sunbeams. I can't get enough of the warmth on my face paired with my iced Americano; I wish I could spend the majority of my summer days in the outdoors! The… Continue reading Virtual Coffee Date
Subscription Box Mania
Signed, sealed, and delivered, I'm yours! We all love getting fun mail, but the practice of sending letters and packages now seems to be reserved for special events. I believe the popularity of subscription boxes came to be and stayed because we all LOVE to receive a fun package. Snail mail delivery is even better when it's… Continue reading Subscription Box Mania
Weekend Recap
Whoop, there it is! Last week was one of those weeks that started slow and then Friday hit like a pie in the face. I started a new role within my company that requires an entirely different set of skills than previously used on my old team, so the Friday afternoon sunshine was welcomed.

Not two minutes… Continue reading WTF Does Ethiopian
DTFWTF
When your friends start a food club, (Where'sTheFood?) it seems like an appropriate time to return from a blogging hiatus. The inaugural event took place at a local dumpling house, Din Thai Fung, commonly known to locals as DTF. Please, don't mix that abbreviation with any others that may appear in UrbanDictionary.com.

‘Tis The Season: Weekend Review
It's December 4th and the holiday season is in FULL swing here at "The Penthouse."December is my favorite month of the year. This is solely based on the fact that it's encouraged to wear huge comfortable sweaters to parties. These sweaters are generally of the "ugly" variety, and lighting candles every night is more socially acceptable.… Continue reading ‘Tis The Season: Weekend Review
