a few pics

this weekend was pretty quiet for me, which was a good thing since the last couple have been pretty busy. and we're traveling the next few weekends, so it was good to have some time at home.

we did go to another nats game yesterday. probably shoulda went saturday instead since yesterday decided to bring the pain in the form of crazy humidity.

but they won! both games, actually.

we also had to say goodbye to our other frenchie that we'd been watching for the week. it was fun having him around.

later this week, i'm off to san francisco for our one-year anniversary getaway/friend's wedding in sonoma. should be an awesome time. i can't wait to eat and eat and eat.

so long, farewell

out for a walk 

deliciously unhealthy after work snack 

riding around town, sunday

legit philly cheesesteaks

well, this month sure flew by.

we had a busy busy weekend. shopping, home improvements, washing the dog, brunch dates, dinner over at my sister's apartment. whew.

sure made the weekend go by quickly.

is it bad that i'm already dreaming of friday? ugh. i think it's this rain.

have a great week!

spell check

awaiting this opening

at brunch

at home 

at sundevich (well, outside of it anyways)

no matter how long it's been since elementary school, i still find myself saying "feb-bruuuu-ary" in my head when i write it down. it's just one of those words for me. i have to think about it every time. 

method is another problem word for me. i sing this every time i type it.

i had a good weekend. it went by so fast but i guess i say that all the time.

of all the months, february is my least favorite. but only three months separate it from my favorite month so there's something.

here's to a new week in the shortest month. 

cold and grey

friday night in takoma

my go-to necklace. goes with everything. 

pot roast craving = satisfied

sangria in the cold weather? why not.

this past week of weather perfectly illustrates why people hate winter. 

cold and wet. grey. gloomy.

after the holidays are long gone, we're still faced with nearly three full months of winter. 

and it starts with you, january.

and even though march can still bring the pain, it just sounds better than january and february to me.

we made the best of this weekend though: hung out with some good friends, checked out some art (free and not outside!), got some good food.

hope your weekend went well, too!

i feel partially responsible for drybar's dc arrival ;)
can't wait to go.

 the weather!

everyone in dc is talking about it, but even for our roller coaster winters, this is warm.

we babysat our one-and-a-half-year-old nephew this weekend, and it was great to be able to spend some time outside at the park with him.

and considering how insanely cold it was for inauguration four years ago (i'm the mummy on the right), it would be pretty nice to have some mild temperatures for that event next week. 

here's to a great week!

completely unplugged

well, my break is over and i had to drag myself back into work today. 

vacation was awesome. instead of trying to force myself to blog over the break, i decided to completely unplug (instagram doesn't count, right?) and it was really really nice to forget about the internet for a little bit.

but now i'm back! and i don't know about you but i'm pumped for 2013, even though i'll probably never get used to the post-2000 set of years. they still look weird to me.

just wonderful

happy tuesday!

the boy and i took off yesterday for the fun of it. it's awesome not being at work on a day when you'd normally be there. feels so...invigorating. so wrong but right at the same time.

i almost like days like that better than the weekends. hope your week's off to a fantastic start.
