About
Hi friends, my name is Elizabeth, and welcome to my little blog! I’m a Hokie living in the DC area. I like to cook and take photographs, all self-taught. I started this blog to share a little piece of my life, and I hope you enjoy!
Feel free to contact me at: chronicventure@gmail.com
Enjoy and Go Hokies!
Here is my first post, which kind of sums up what this is all about:
Everyone “wants to write” and “wants to start a blog” and apparently the favorite fact about contestants on the bachelor and bachelorette is that they “love to travel.”
Because I just want to be cool like everyone else, I decided to start this little blog. I have made pretty lame attempts before, but nothing really stuck. There are a few things about me and my daily life that I could write about.
It could be about food and cooking and wine. Because I love all those things and indulge in them on the daily.
It could be about Virginia Tech and being a Hokie. Because that is also something I clearly need another outlet for in addition to plastering my cubicle, car, self, and twitter feed with all things Maroon and Orange; yes, they are proper nouns.
It could be about doing super fun awesome things in DC. Although, due to the fact that I live here, everything I do is automatically a super fun awesome thing in DC (& the surrounding area, since I actually live in Virginia). DC residents have a silly habit of getting all peeved when people claim to be from DC when they dont actually live in the District itself. Trust me, I used to be one of them.
It could also be about the effect that Lupus has had on my life. I was diagnosed on my 22nd birthday coincidentally. As a quick and friendly overview, Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage just about any part of the body. For something to be chronic it has to lasts over an extended period of time, and perhaps forever. I chose Chronic as one half of the title of this blog, since it encompasses a little something about me (the fact that I have a chronic illness) and a little something about what will hopefully be this whole blogging journey: it’s continuous.
I guess I have to start somewhere, right?

You have a beautiful blog! I’ve always wanted to start one but have been too intimidated. Im not sure what it would focus on or fear embarrassment! I admire you being true to you
Go for it. Everyone has something to say!
Hey Elizabeth! Just came across your blog through Eat, Live, Run and love it! I’m in B-more blogging about my days and the life I lead over at Three Bracelets (www.threebracelets.blogspot.com). Perhaps one day we’ll have to plan a DC adventure!
So glad you stopped by! Thanks for the sweet compliment, and I am off to read three bracelets as we speak! and I am always looking for more fun adventures to have in the DC area–Baltimore is pretty great too!
