Darn You Tootsie Roll Pop!

What is the worst possible thing that could happen when you’re babysitting?  Ok… FAR worse things could happen but tonight was pretty bad!  The kiddos were great, aside from telling me 1 hour past their bedtime that they had to shower tonight or their Mom would kill them. So if the kiddos were great, you’re…

Sushi Serenity

It has been a pretty hectic week in my neck of the woods, so an evening out with friends was just what the doctor ordered!! Momo Sushi Restaurant is probably the best sushi place I’ve never been to and it’s right here in Old Town Alexandria. The fish is incredibly fresh and the rolls are…

Saving Money

Living in Washington, DC may be a lot of fun, but it’s also really expensive.  I’m grateful to have a fantastic full time job, but unfortunately I don’t make the big bucks like those working for the federal government.  With the cost of living being as high as it is here, I far too often…

A Wicked Weekend

I had a wonderfully wicked weekend! Saturday started off with a number of errands but after an afternoon of homework my BF and I headed into the city.  I love Washington, DC but one thing I do not love is the Metro Transit System on weekends.  Due to lower ridership it’s a great time to…

Workout Wagon

I’ve fallen off the workout wagon and I’ve got to get back on!  Two weeks ago I was just a hot mess with my sleep schedule.  I stayed up late most nights, which I blame on homework, events, and insomnia and had a really tough time getting out of bed in the morning.  It was…

Dreaming of Peaches

Although I got 9 hours of sleep last night it wasn’t all that solid.  I shouldn’t complain though, I got to sleep in until 7:30AM which was fantastic!  Sometimes my brain is just overloaded, which keeps me up at night.  Graduate school, work, and future planning…. lots to think about. Anywho, after a quick bowl…

Everybody’s Working For The Weekend!

Happy Friday!! Who’s ready for the weekend? Today has been great so far and I must attribute it to my evening last night.  After work I took a grad school quiz and finished up my course work for the week.  Woop Woop!  One class’ work done for the week, one class to go.  I then…

Spice it up!

Sometimes life just needs a little extra spice and last night I decided to spice things up with CILANTRO, Cha Cha Cha! I found a wonderful, and easy recipe, on Nutmeg Notebook a few weeks ago and just knew that it would come in handy!  I began by sauteing chicken tenders with a little Mrs….

Berry Delicious Smoothies

My smoothies this week have been rockin’ and a great addition to my Scaleless Summer!  PB Fingers makes some amazing smoothies and I figured it was about time for me to bust out my blender and whip up some smoothies of my own.  As my pantry was sans frozen fruit, protein powder, and Greek yogurt…

A Scaleless Summer

Are you ever consumed by the number you see on the scale?  Do you weigh yourself weekly, daily, even twice a day to see how your weight has fluctuated?  Are you elated when the number goes down and discouraged when the number goes up? So much affects our body weight on a daily basis.  Eating…

Weekly Plan: June 20-26

A Sunday Recap Last week was rather crazy!  Started the week off being sleep deprived, had a few odd mornings midway through the week, and then ended the week with a stomach bug.  Not fun at all!  One of the benefits of being sick though is that I am WELL rested and have had plenty…

A Little Honesty…

I’ve gone back and forth on how to write this post. I’m not sure if it’s the fact that I’ve been home sick for 3 days, that my hormones are crazy this TOM, or that I’ve just been thinking a lot but I feel the need to be honest about a few things…. and I’m…

Hello Appetite

Having been sick since Wednesday night, I finally started to get my appetite back last night.  I didn’t want to push it too far, so I just stuck to chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers.  It was nice to finally eat something but I was SO ready for some real food.  Last night I swear…

TMI

So I’m at home today… sick as a dog.  I have the stomach flu or some sort of bug, which is  NO FUN AT ALL!  I started feeling sick Wednesday night and then was feeling really weird most of the day yesterday.  I left work around 2PM and have been sick-sick ever since.  I finally…

Ouch Charlie!

I’m not feeling too well today, sadness.  This week has been a little odd and yet a lot of fun at the same time. Saturday and Sunday night I only got 5 hours of sleep… which I think is what started this work week off on the wrong foot. Monday was great because I metroed…
