Given that my work-free evenings are spent watching something, I’ve decided to add a bunch of movies I haven’t seen to my Netflix queue. Some are really popular or classics that I just haven’t seen over the years. Others are ones that I never got around to seeing in theaters. I also might be adding every movie about Tudor England (Mac should thank me for that). These are some of… View Post »
That time I lost my wedding ring… and found it in a bag of cough drops
A few weeks back, my friends and I met up at a bar in Arlington for a night of tater tots and fun. I had a few beverages and eventually came home (public transit FTW!).

Sadly, I’m no longer a two hours drive down one interstate from Turner Field. My only hope for Braves games this season will be when they’re in town to play the Nationals (like… View Post »
Birthday care package – March
Mac’s birthday was also our first date, so we celebrate our dating anniversary around the same time as his birthday (for the record, we actually started dating before we went on a date). I made him another care package for his birthday. I wound up shipping the cupcakes separately in a medium flat rate box. To keep the cupcakes fresh, I put them in a plastic container then wrapped that… View Post »
