a very rockville weekend, the redux
Happy Monday, travelers! We need to apologize. We were HORRIBLE bloggers over our little Rockville weekend. Remember when we brainstormed all the amazing things we were going to do? Yeah, we did ABOUT zero of them. Except for the beer one, of course. Here’s the thing: this was everything we needed out of our little weekend reunion, so we can’t be that sorry. Yes, it would have been great to head into DC and have adventures and try a fancy new restaurant. But sometimes, you wake up and it’s a little cold and drizzly, and you just need to give…

why the french stay thin (and why americans in france do not)
French women: we love to hate them. Effortlessly chic, undeniably cool, and always skinny. When I decided to study abroad in Paris, I thought it was the perfect segue into womanhood. Go away as a slightly rumpled, standard American college girl; come home sleek, chic, and très petite. With a cigarette in hand, of course. Two years later, when I decided to move to Ireland, I dreaded the inevitable pounds that were sure to creep up in the land of Guinness and potatoes. True fact: In Paris, I gained 10 lbs.

beer and hotdogs
Things I’m loving right now: I get to see the romantic in five days. Things I’m hating right now: It’s Monday. It’s raining. Because I like to give myself an excuse to be lazy on rainy Mondays (and maaaybe because I’m still suffering from a colossal two-day hangover), I thought I’d just throw up a few photos of my day at the ballpark. To be honest, I don’t really like baseball, but I do like cute boys (here’s looking at you, Jayson Werth) and I certainly like hotdogs, so when I unexpectedly got the day off from babysitting on Saturday,…
