This Week

I’ve never been one to shy away from winter, but I’m seriously over it.  My only hope is that we get a proper spring before steamrolling into the sticky days of summer.

That said, I’m ditching the cold for a quick 48 hours and headed to Orlando on business.  Not complaining at all.

We binged on season 2 of House of Cards last weekend (so good!), so this week saw some normal plans.  I caught up with Julia over a glass (okay, 2) of Montepulciano yesterday.  This weekend, I’m looking forward to visiting the Museum of Natural History for this show, hosting Victoria and her man for dinner and game night (Cards Against Humanity!), and then celebrating my nephew’s 17 birthday.

17.  I remember the day the kid was born.  *shaking my head*

And to the links:

  • In case you weren’t already pumped for Game of Thrones, this feature on Emilia Clarke (aka Khaleesi) is worth a read.
  • A very worthy cause to put down your phone for.  Candy Crush Saga can wait.
  • V isn’t lying when she says these are the world’s best margaritas.  They are.
  • The BEST time waster ever – guess the line from the Mean Girls screenshot.  I’m pleased to say I scored a perfect 12/12.
  • For you television addicts, I present my favorite wedding announcement.
  • I’ve given up on the aforementioned Candy Crush Saga and turned my attention to good-for-your-brain games – Threes and SeeWords.
  • I’m on a major politics kick after House of Cards and seeing this play (SO good!).  I just started the first book in Robert Caro’s series on LBJ and am halfway through Kennedy & Nixon.  You can take the girl off the Hill…
