This was my first year of not being able to celebrate Easter with my family. No egg-dyeing, no bunny cake baking, no sunrise service. Yet, this Easter was one for the books. Church was lovely and I enjoyed dressing up for it! I’ve certainly noticed that as I have lost weight and toned up, my…

Day 5: Sacramento to San Francisco, California
We’ve done it. We made it to San Francisco. We stayed the night last night in an adorable Tudor on Airbnb (and the owner said she is looking for short-term tenants, if anyone is interested). We departed to grab a quick bite, then made our way to San Fran. The drive went smoothly and before…
Day 3: Wyoming to Utah
We have traveled 1,754 miles so far! Isn’t that incredible? Big Booty Judy (my beautiful 2014 Nissan Rogue for any new peeps to the blog) has been a one tough cookie, especially in today’s conditions! While there hasn’t been snow or rain, the wind on today’s piece of the trek was knarly! Gusts of 70+…
Day 2: Nebraska to Wyoming
Today, we trekked across the breadth of Nebraska, dabbled into Colorado, and ended the day’s travels in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We were on the road for eight hours and it went just as quickly as the twelve hours did yesterday. To entertain ourselves, we got through nearly (Harry Potter fans will understand) all of the first…
22/23- U is for You and Me
Three quite extraordinary things happened this week. Firstly, on Tuesday, I ate dinner with Kristen and another friend, Nicolette, at Gallaudet. While being surrounded by the deaf community is always something special to me, this night was all the more. Two students sat at our table, one known to Kristen named Alex and the other…
21/23- I Know Where I’m Going Next!
But first, let me tell you about my week! MLK Day was Monday and my department was closed, so I was off! I spent the day by getting lunch with some friends at Ireland’s Four Courts, where I experienced my first traditional Irish breakfast! A majority of the platter was stuff I had never even…
20/23- F is for Friends Who Do Stuff Together
Been wondering where my supposed weekly updates have gone? I promise, I’m here and doing things! In fact, since my mom’s visit to DC, I feel like I have been quite the busy bee! I hosted my little sister, traveled home to Ohio for Christmas, hosted one of my best friends (who I shall tell…
15/23- ‘Tis the Season
“There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say,’ returned the nephew. ‘Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round—apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything…
“Where Do You Want to Go?”
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” – Oh, The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Suess This is one of my FAQs…
8/23- Shuckin’ the Day Away
“You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.” ~ Pvt. Benjamin Buford “Bubba” Blue, Forrest Gump Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that seafood is one of my all-time…
