a chronic venture

my favorite quote, courtesy of Sherlock Holmes

05.04.2013

It’s the weekend! I usually don’t blog on the weekends, but with the goal of blogging every day in May, here I am writing a fun little post. I’m here today to share my favorite quote with you. No, it’s not something I found on Pinterest, but something I read in a book a few [...]

this one thing really bothers me

05.03.2013

Happy Friday, friends! I have made it to day three of blog every day in May. *high five* So, today’s prompt is supposed to be: “things that make you uncomfortable.” I read this prompt yesterday and when I was thinking about what to write last night, I somehow interpreted this as “things that bother me.” So I’m going [...]

changes: going to grad school

05.02.2013

Along with a big commitment to run a marathon in October, I have also recently made another (slightly more expensive & time consuming) commitment: to go to grad school. In the Fall, I will be starting the Master of Public Health (MPH) program at The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services. AND [...]

running updates & marathon training

05.01.2013

So a few weeks ago, I did something a bit crazy and out of character. I decided, with the peer pressure encouragement of a few friends, to register for the Marine Corps Marathon. The day of registration I was ready to go at noon to attempt the overloaded registration system (the MCM sold out this [...]

the past month & lemon bread

04.09.2013

Hello dear friends! It sure has been a while since I’ve been here. I’ve been a busy bee this past month and it sure has flown by. And apparently according to the weather here in DC, it’s already July! Where did you come from 90 degrees?! I ran my third half marathon, the DC Rock [...]

cilantro lime and jalapeno hummus

03.06.2013

Happy snowy day from DC! It is coming down like crazy here and mostly everyone I know is working at home. It’s a nice surprise in March since we have had barely any snow this year here. Although after this, I will be ready for spring! Speaking of spring, I have a few spring races [...]

port city brewing company tour

03.01.2013

Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? Well, if you’re in DC, I have an idea for you. A few weeks ago, a group of us went out to Port City Brewing Company in Alexandria to celebrate Danielle’s birthday (and to enjoy beer in general!). It was my first time visiting the brewery and we [...]

crazy feta dip with thyme and jalapenos

02.05.2013

Happy Tuesday friends! I was planning to bring this amazing crazy feta dip to a friends house for the Super Bowl, but was not feeling well at all, so the roomie and I hung out at home to watch the game. Instead of whipping something up, we ended up ordering pizza from Pizza Hut. Mistake. [...]

some goals for 2013

02.01.2013

I know, I know. It’s February. I guess I just needed a month to get into the swing of 2013. I decided to set just a few food goals for this year. Nothing fancy, but without further ado, here are some goals for 2013: Less sugar. I usually don’t have desserts or things, and I [...]

muffin tin baked oysters

01.14.2013

Happy 2013 everyone! So far, it’s off to a great start. It’s already starting to fill up: trips, weddings, changes. But for today, I have something yummy to share. An awesome oyster appetizer: muffin tin baked oysters. These are usually holiday fare in our house, but better late than never because they are always appropriate [...]
