A Pagan vegetarian wife and Jewish omnivore husband makin' it work!
I consider this our first "autumn" season since Matt and I moved to Maryland in December 2009. Our first such season here, we pretty much missed it as we were in south Florida gettin' hitched (and if you're from or have ever experienced Florida, you know there are two seasons: HOT AS BALLS for about 10 months, and NOT QUITE AS HOT for about two. Fortunately, our wedding fell on a day between those … [Read more...]
Whew! I feel like I've left most of y'all in a lurch, and for that, I'm really sorry! This week has been absolutely insane, so I haven't had the chance to do much of... well, anything but those things that were then on my plate. First, I got a new job! My last day at my old firm was Wednesday. It was actually a very lovely day with wrapping up work, having pizza with my coworkers, and … [Read more...]
My sophomore year of university, a diner opened up on Florida State's campus at Park Avenue (appropriately called "Park Avenue Diner" or simply called "The Diner"), which was heavily frequented by myself and some friends at midnight or later. I mean, come on, the place was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (Don't worry, there was a SAFEbus, a free serving available to students late at night to … [Read more...]
I am so sorry for the lack of posts lately! Work has been insane with cases moving very quickly, home has been crazy with all the stuff that comes with having a new house, and life in general is nuts with things all piling on at once. But it's fun, I swear! :P Since I have nothing too constructive to post at the moment (partially because I'm having the darnedest time with GFC and a few other … [Read more...]
Thanks so much to everyone who participated in Beltane In A Week! It was a fun week indeed, and an equally fun weekend was spent celebrating the Sabbat.But the festivities don't end there... absolutely not! For those of you local to the MD/DC area, a festival this weekend to honor the Green Man is going on in Greenbelt, Maryland, and Matt and I will be attending to dance the Maypole and … [Read more...]
I've been talking on and off with a friend of mine from high school, Sara, about community orchestras. She plays violin as well, and was involved in a community orchestra where she lives for a bit. Though life caught up with her and she had to sit this season out, we still had a great discussion about orchestras like it, and I decided I'd search again for one in the area.While it's not incredibly … [Read more...]
And for ice, sleet, freezing rain, and anything else even remotely related. No reason... … [Read more...]
It's been a while since I did a restaurant review, mostly because many of the places we visit tend to be chain and "regular" restaurants. In fact, sometime soon, I'll have to do a review of one of our favorite regular restaurants in the area. For today, though, I'm reviewing a local-to-Annapolis restaurant, Giolitti Delicatessen.There's actually a bit of a story as to how we got to this place … [Read more...]
... and of course, not even an hour or so after making that post about provisions and all that, we come home to discover that our power was back. So YAY, thank you, BG&E!Just so this isn't just a "one-line squee" of a post, here's a snowman we found outside a local Italian restaurant after scouring the liquor store for those provisions:Yay, snowman! … [Read more...]
Matt and I are without electricity, and probably will be until Saturday evening. We lost it last night around 9pm, banding together with a couple of our neighbors (bonding time!) to discuss the snowstorm that somehow ended up taking out our power. How 6" of snow managed to do that when two back-to-back blizzards with several record-breaking feet of snow and not a single electricity flicker, we'll … [Read more...]
