After three exhausting, jam-packed weeks, I did what any almost 30 year old would do.
I went home to my parents’ house.
Sometimes you just need the comforts of home – your old bedroom, mom’s cooking, dad’s wine stash. Â These past few days were just what I needed to recharge and #GSDÂ to conquer the next few weeks before we head out on vacation. Â Which cannot come soon enough.
While I was in Pennsylvania, I snuck away for a date night with my husband in Center City, and met up with my favorite podcaster for lunch.
We’re headed to the ballet on Friday night (A Midsummer Night’s Dream!  Does that count as reading it?), binging on season 2 of Orange Is The New Black, and enjoying the summer weather in the city.  A picnic?  A long walk?  We’ll figure it out.
