Organizing my closet for spring

  While reading Clothe your Curves, I started thinking about how key it is to be organized when it comes to how we present ourselves to the world. My previous apartment had a pretty standard size closet that was sufficient since I don’t like to have too many clothes. I tend to favor certain pieces …

Happy New Year

I had a pretty challenging year so I am not feeling melancholy about leaving 2015 behind me at all. I am ready for a fresh start and new opportunities to come my way. My holiday was quiet. I have no problem with the fact that I spent it regenerating.  You never really know how burned out …

Seasons change

Last month marked my one year anniversary here in D.C. I am still so happy to have made my move. Although I have a love/hate relationship with my apartment building I would like to stay but the rent increases are crazy and eventually I am going to have to move on. Right now work is …

That Spring Summer Feeling

The rain has stopped and spring weather has returned with a vengeance. Many of the peak bloom cherry blossoms washed away but they are still around. And so are allergies, but I am fighting to keep them at bay. I noticed that quite a few festivals will be taking place this weekend. One is the …

Slow Saturday

  It was so  cold out today. I spent the day inside, heat on, recuperating from a week of long days. After a well deserved nap I did laundry, looked for warm clothes in the bins in my closet (note, I will need to go shopping), and cooking some red beans in the crock pot. …

Cozy and comfortable

I know this blog is supposed to be about my adventures out and about, but I am enjoying nesting as the weather cools down. I managed to organize my closets, do laundry, hang pictures, set up the TV, and lo and behold this place actually looks and feels like someone lives here! So interesting how …

Settling in

I am finally getting around to unpacking boxes!  I think I have the most important items unpacked, but there are still a few items I can’t locate. The rest of the stuff in boxes is what I need to sort through. There are several boxes of books that I need to get rid of as …

Lucky Bamboo

Nothing exciting happened this weekend. I was exhausted and actually spent the whole day inside on Saturday recuperating after a rough week. Since so many people have been sick at work, it was for the best to rest up rather than push myself to keep running.  I still managed to be productive and completed a …

All boxed in

I can’t write as much as I want to due to work and school obligations. So, I will try to find time to post at least once a week to document this new chapter in my life. There are still some rough patches, but overall I am so happy to be here. I haven’t touched …

Hi Honey, I’m Home

I have an apartment with most of my stipulations!  It is actually CAM’s old building. It was a bit of a process to seal the deal..they made broken promises, had me jump through hoops, but I will have a home for the next 9 months. Yes, I said 9 months because I went with a …
