Holy Cramole It's February!!

Hello Darlings!

Can you believe it is February?! I mean I could have sworn I was just ringing in the new year and celebrating my 23rd! Well with that being said we are moving swiftly on to Spring and I am a-ok with that! Baltimore has escaped (knock on wood) any big snowstorms... we did have one, which my poor little SAAB fearlessly drove through to get to work... I felt like I was on Rockin' Roller Coaster at Disney driving down our little road to the office...

Great job little car!

The snow soon melted away and we are back to normal and life has moved on. We celebrated my Dad's birthday with an amazing lunch at Jesse Wong's Asean Bistro. It isn't our usual sushi spot but I got my parents a gift card as part of their Christmas gift and what better way to spend it than on sushi!! They had some left over on the card so they got a Peking Duck. What's a Peking Duck you ask?

Peking Duck, or Peking Roast Duck is a famous duck dish from Beijing that has been prepared since the imperial era, and is now considered one of China's national foods

Dad with all his favorite foods!

That birthday was a lot of fun. The restaurant gave us a little private room so we didn't need to worry about noise around us! Dad got to open his gifts and had a great time! I got him an IPAD Keyboard which will help him to not ruin his screen while typing.

Overall January was a crazy but enjoyable month!

Life is Funny

Hello All!

This past week has been a roller coaster of emotions! It always seems to be one thing after another after another. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger...right??

But that's ok! It is Friday night and I am doing NOTHING and I love it! I plan on watching TLC and relaxing...is it official that I am old??

Tomorrow I am going with my best girlfriend/best roommate :) to her college's Bull and Oyster Roast and I am ready to have tons of fun with good friends...I mean who cares if it's not my Alma Mater!! I just hope no one realizes that even though I frequented their campus during our undergrad I actually didn't attend... somewhat like this...

That movie never gets old...Mean Girls for all of those who don't have every single line memorized!

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I will make sure to post fun pictures of the night

TaTa!

New Years Eve

I thought I should share some photos from our amazing night in Washington DC!

BFs fraternity brother is lucky to have an English basement in a beautiful luxury home on N.Capitol Street. I know I mentioned a little about it in my last post! The family who lives there is absolutely wonderful and we rang in the new year with amazing views and met some really great new people!

Check out some pictures below...

 Snoozing a bit before midnight!!

 Almost Midnight!!

 Just some action shots right after the ball dropped!

Hello 2011!!

Hi Everyone!

2011 is here and I have a feeling that it is going to be a really good year. The past year has been great but it is time to move forward and the new year may be exactly the thing to step it up!

We rang in the new year by spending a ski week in Utah and making it home to Maryland just in time to head to DC!

I celebrated my 23rd birthday with my Family and BF and the splendid airline crew. Not my ideal birthday but hey I can be flexible!

Utah was the best time ever. Unfortunately Mumsie got sick so she couldn't go so I had to go it alone with the boys! We stayed at the most beautiful little home right off of the slopes.. literally! We skied four of our six days there and it was, as my brother would say... "the ultimate pow". I don't know about all that but I know that it was some of the most beautiful scenery that I have ever seen. Photos below!

We spent new years with BFs friend in DC in a fabulous home on N. Capitol St. The master bedroom opens to a breathtaking view on the capitol building. (Clearly I have had a week of breathtaking views) We all cheered and rang in the new years and then celebrated all night. Unfortunately my little pink camera didn't make it past 12:01am when it was dropped on the lens. RIP little pink camera.

I am now off to celebrate my birthday dinner with one of my close girl friends who I haven't seen since LAST YEAR..haha

Lilly Update!!

As everyone probably already knows Lilly Pulitzer was bought yesterday by Oxford Industries Inc. When i heard this I had a small freak out! What was going to happen? Would things stay the same? I was especially nervous because after visiting the sale this past November I was really surprised at that lack of lines in the morning. Although Mumsie and I did get our tickets the day before, check them out....

After several hours of Googling everything possible about OI I think it's going to be ok! Lilly's website, Lilly Facebook page and other Lilly loving blogs seem to think that life will go on as usual...aka the sale will still continue, Pink Palace will stay in KOP and they might even bring back some old styles! I want the Lilly quality we all know to stay the same... please don't become flimsy like so many other "formerly great" brands!!!

Oxford put this video on their website and I thought it was a great overview for Lilly lovers new and old!! Enjoy!!

It's the Holiday Season

Hello All!!

So terribly sorry that the last time I wrote was at Thanksgiving!! The month of December has flown by!! Between playing frogger through the mall parking lot and turning my room into Santa's workshop there has been no time for any blogging.

Work is "wrapping" (yup.. Christmas joke) up, and we will be closed from tomorrow until the new year yiippee!! The family and Fabulous bf will be jet setting to Park City, UT for our skiing holiday. Right now I believe there is an 82 inch base according to the  Ski Utah Website!! HELLO POWDER!!

If that isn't gorgeous I don't know what is!!

I'm super excited the BF gets to come with us this year he works so hard and deserves to relax!! I know that my brother will love someone to board with at 100mph down the hill. Definitely not my style... me and Mumsie and Dad will take our time and enjoy runs that are actually longer than the chairlift... yes that was a jab at east coast skiing. Not to down the east coast runs but when you've been skiing west coast and European slopes your whole life  it is so hard to take those little runs seriously. Although I will take any suggestions for new places we are definitely looking at Whistler, British Columbia for next year.

On another note the year is coming to a close and it is crazy to think that come May my "little" (I wouldn't call 6'2 little by any means) will graduate high school and it will be two years out of college for me! I know he is still waiting on his college acceptance letters. I obviously would love for him to attend my alma mater Salisbury University but he is definitely all over the map in his search! Best of luck to you little brudder xoxo

I hope that everyone enjoys their Holiday season with friends and family. We all have to much to be thankful for and remember to give back anytime you get a chance! That present you are going to return for something else you probably wont use... how about donating it?!?

I'll leave you with a video of my favorite man (besides BF/Dad/Brother) singing one my favorite Christmas tunes!

Early Weekend

Hello All,

I am more than ecstatic because today is my Friday! The day flew by especially because the "marketing department", aka me and my Boss, got some fabulous news, which is hush hush for now! :)

Tomorrow will be a fabulous day of sleeping in until eight and visiting the gym for Fast Track! My gym, Merritt Athletic Club, offers this great program from 6am until 11am weekday mornings where you can come and have personal training for FREE. Yup, free!! I plan on running for 30/40 minutes and then having a 30 minute session with one of the trainers! Hopefully it will be heart pumping, because I am making it a personal goal to seriously get back in shape. It is just so tough forcing yourself to go and workout after working 9 hours, but a girls gotta do what she needs to do to be fabulous! I have heard a lot about P90X, this is probably for advanced fitness "students" (definitely not me) but I am interested in this? Anyone have suggestions? Here is the P90X Official Site it seems really intimidating!!

After my hardcore morning I will be treating myself to a facial and hair cut at Domani Studio in Bel Air! I was lucky to scoop up the $77 Domani Studio massage, facial, hair cut  GROUPON! I had to reschedule the massage because Domani was so overbooked because of the success of their Groupon. I will definitely be cashing that in soon! My day will end with a fabulous Girls Night Dinner at our home, what a way to end the week!

Have a wonderful weekend!!
