Sunday Funday

,

This Sunday were were blessed with gorgeous summer weather. Andy, Fitz, and I decided to venture to the Farmer's Market down the street from us to check out the goods. It's not a huge market but they had some great produce for us to buy.

 

Fitz was loving all the scents and people!

The Pickle People were there! I used to buy myself a pickle every Wednesday for about a year and then I moved to a different neighborhood. It's good to know they make the neighborhood rounds and that I can start having my weekly kosher dill. It's the little things, people.

After grocery shopping I whipped up some scones to take to brunch with my friend, K. I might have to start making these every Sunday. Maybe you should too.

Break The Silence 5k

I've been trying to convince some of my friends do a run with me for awhile and my friend, H, finally found one that piqued her interest! It was the "Break The Silence - Ovarian Cancer 5k" in Reston. She was also able to convince our friend, M, to run with us. M's mom is a survivor and she was able to fly down from Michigan to be cheer us on. It was a beautiful day in Reston and we had a great time. This was my last run probably until fall. I cannot run in D.C. summers. It's torture. You can judge me but there's a reason D.C. didn't build up as a city until air conditioning came along.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

,

I love themed parties. Anything from the Christmas parties when I was in elementary school to the Disney date parties in college, if I have an excuse to dress up in "costume" or eat themed food I am game. Last weekend the same coworker who co-hosted the office Christmas party with me co-hosted Andy's and my Cinco de Mayo party. I'll be honest. I don't care at all about the actual holiday. I saw it as another excuse to gather friends, eat themed food, and have an inflatable cactus cooler in my living room. The party was fantastic! We're so glad our friends were able to share the joy in The Cactus with us.

¿One for the Christmas card, no?

Nacho Bar. I could still feed an army with the amount of food in my fridge.
