Happy Saturday evening. After a very active couple of weeks with lots of time out and about (not to mention long hours at work), it is so nice to be home.
Also, it is a good time to blog. As I am eyeing doing a major three week recap tomorrow, I decided to break it up. Here is a little summary of the week before Thanksgiving, and below is my Thanksgiving week, which represented quite an improvement over the previous week:
- Spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with my husband, with gratitude and delicious food (including Grain-Free Cranberry Sage Dressing)
- Met up with out-of-town friend the Curator for lunch at Shophouse and a walk into Georgetown, including stops at Paper Source (alphabet stamps!) and Lululemon (found a Primaloft-based Apres Piste jacket on sale! Only my second Lululemon purchase – so much temptation in that store)
- Caught up with two long-time friends at Yola – I adore this place as they can make a green smoothie with Amande Yogurt, and we know how much I love Amande
- Spent Sunday out with my husband – lunch at Oyamel (guacamole, mushroom tacos and fruit salad for me) followed by a visit to the National Archives to see What’s Cooking Uncle Sam Exhibit – I found it fascinating though in some ways am still digesting my thoughts (pun intended)
- 3 7am yoga classes
- A Thanksgiving Day jaunt to the gym for the elliptical and a Saturday repeat elliptical jaunt
- 6+ miles of walking over Saturday and Sunday
- 1 restorative yoga (much needed after the walking)
- Made parsnip rice for the first time
- Some art journaling on Thanksgiving day when I got sick of cooking.
All in all a pretty fantastic week – I feel like I used my (scant) free time well amid a crazy work-week.

Just found your blog through Gina! I’m also in DC and look forward to reading through your posts!
So nice to meet you.
Still need to taste Amande! Great recap of a busy week.
Amande is really lovely. I wish it was less sweet, but I love the distinct almond flavor
