Moving sucks
Chuck and I decided to move when our landlord decided to put our place on the market. Outside of not wanting strangers in my stuff all the time and having to keep it clean and straight every minute of the day, we didn’t want to get stuck with a short turnaround of having to find…

We came, we jogged (and walked), we conquered
Being active in the city is sometimes hard. Between working long hours and meeting up for drinks and dinner, it sometimes feels like there is no time to exercise. So when the registration opened for the Saints 5K a few months ago, I immediately signed up with the knowledge that I finish what I start. …

Good friends are good for the soul
In the 3 years Chuck and I have been together, I’ve never had the chance to bring him to Atlanta to see the many great friends I have from my time living there. But this past weekend, we finally did it. We made it to the ATL for a surprise birthday party and managed to…

When a trip doesn’t go as planned
A couple of weeks ago, Chuck and I took off for Las Vegas. We’ve been talking about going there ever since we started dating, but life and other things have prevented us from heading West. And since we still haven’t had a chance to take our “real” honeymoon, we decided a few days in Vegas…

A day of random fun.. on a bike
There is no shortage of outdoor activities in New Orleans. One I don’t take enough advantage of often enough is riding my bike to restaurants and bars. But Sunday found Chuck and I biking around the area and making some “hydration” stops along the way. Riding from the Warehouse District, through the Quarter with a…

Going back to get ahead
Every now and then, I get the opportunity to go back to an area where I once lived. This week finds me in NYC for some work meetings and an interview for my CEO. While here, I’ve had the opportunity to meet up with friends and former colleagues to catch up. All of these conversations,…

Exactly the vacation we needed
Time away from home, work, life’s daily activities and more is always something that is necessary, in my opinion. When I lived in New York (and had less money but a lot more vacation time), I always tried to get away on a quarterly basis. While some of that involved visiting my family in the…

A moment of zen
As much as I enjoy living in New Orleans, getting away for a few days is never a bad thing. After months of the grind, Chuck and I are finally able to take a short vacation. It’s not our official honeymoon, but at least there is sun and a beach. And while this morning found…

Craft Beer is for me.
I have only recently gotten into the craft beer scene, and New Orleans has certainly upped its game in that department. I’ve always had Abita Beer when coming to the city and now that I live here, have branched out to enjoy the other breweries in the city and surrounding areas. I’m constantly in awe…

Bourbon….times 80
This past weekend saw us attend the New Orleans Bourbon Festival. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it as much as I did. I realized that good bourbon is definitely something I enjoy. Although I doubt I’ll make it my “go to” drink, I’m certainly not opposed to sipping on one every now and then. While…
