My Mantra

Alright my wonderful blog followers and readers, I have an announcement in honor of my two year blogiversary tomorrow…. It has been a tough decision, but I think it is time for me to end Everything in Moderation. It has been an AMAZING two years. I’ve met some unexpected friends, seen some unexpected places, and gone on some pretty fantastic journeys. What began as a blog to lead up to my wedding morphed into so much more, but as life continues    [...]

Long time, no blog! I have been hard at work the past few weeks, and needed to devote some time to my full-time job. Hopefully you understand! Oh, and I was enjoying the summer G and I didn’t spend the 4th together this weekend due to a wedding for work, so tonight we opted to celebrate together with grilling Peanut Noodles Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella with Balsamic Vinaigrette And of course….hamburgers. A perfect summer meal eaten    [...]

One would think with Code Orange 100 degree temperatures that a cool breakfast like a Green Monster or Fruit Parfait would be in order, but nope – hot oatmeal was calling my name.

This morning I had a hot, sweaty and killer business meeting / four mile run in the woods. It’s nice to work for a boss who understands that the release of endorphins is simply good for business. With this heat, I was craving something more than just water when I got home. I remembered that Gatorade had sent me some samples of their new G Natural and G2 Natural drinks a few weeks ago. No time like the present! According to their press release:    [...]

Good Tuesday Morning! I am BACK after a loooong weekend spent back at college. My baby sister graduated from Denison University (my alma mater) and we all went to share in the festivities. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We began Saturday joining my mother for a drink on the patio of The Granville Inn, which was also our hotel. We chatted about my old days there, and what Megan was going to do next. At the moment, she was cleaning out her    [...]

Poor, Thumpy! As we were getting ready for bed last night, Thump was lounging in front of the bathroom door. Not thinking his tail was in the way – Geoff closed the door to do his bid-nass. I heard the shrill of the century come out of this cute muffin which caused me to shriek. Geoff had shut Thumper’s tail in the door. He ran straight into my arms, and at first I thought, “Oh, poor thing, that must have really shook him up and been painful.” Then,    [...]

With my last working day in Washington tomorrow, I’ve been packing in lunches about town with friends. Yesterday, I dined with Olga, and she suggested we test out one of OYA’s new “$10 To Go” lunches. While we waited in the bar for our orders to be completed, we snapped some photos of the gorgeously detailed decor. I think it has quite the feminine touch. Dinner here would be among a stunning backdrop! Our backdrop, while nice, was not    [...]

The teenage years, while tumultuous, were also kind of fun. For me personally, aside from school and sports, I loved music, television catering to the teenage set and boys. Somehow all three were often intertwined. If only Glee had been on back then. It melds all three and brings all those feelings back! I lived for the dream relationship, despite not actually having one of my own. I felt like the love ballads were speaking to me. I rooted for    [...]
