And so it’s back to reality!
Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend. I really enjoyed mine, start to finish and was sad to go this morning. However, it is always good to be back in DC :O).
Last night’s farewell dinner was fabulous. I requested paella as my send-off meal because I think my Dad’s paella is [...]

I was a bit neglectful and missed my post yesterday – apologies! Being home is lovely but my schedule is way out of whack!
Last night I met some of my old friends from my time as a Borders Bookstore employee for a sushi dinner. The suburb of Cleveland that I live in is pretty blah in terms [...]

My sister and I were brave and faced the mall this [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Thanksgiving is not a huge deal in my family since we’re British, but I love our little celebration nonetheless :O). My mum, dad, sister and I started our day off with “The Phillips Trot.” Just like The Turkey Trot except it’s shorter and starts at 11AM instead of 8. hehe.

1/2 cup [...]

Here we are outside of  VOLT- I really placed myself front and center in that pic. hehe. 
   
We didn’t make reservations and just decided to eat in the lounge which actually worked perfectly. It [...]

Good morning! Happy weekend!
First, last night. After work I went for a nice run outside. It feels so good to get moving after sitting still at my desk all day. I had a lot of energy and it was a fabulous 40 minute run followed by a bit of ab work back home. Normally I’d [...]
