One of the first things we did upon arriving in the DC area was look up the Navy football schedule. We didn’t get season tickets or anything, but we did manage to get tickets for a few of the games, including the first home game of the season. I think you all know my philosophy on dressing […]
Today is the Army-Navy game, and this is the first year since 2009 that we won’t be attending. And we aren’t even throwing a game-watching party, since Toby is out of town! Of course, I will probably still wear some blue and gold (and some anchor jewelry), but I wanted to share some of our […]
I have a navy-and-white stripes problem. It’s major. My friend Joan apparently has the same problem. But the best thing about it? When we were shopping and she told me that she can’t stop buying navy-and-white striped shirts… I was holding a navy-and-white-striped shirt. Obviously. Anyway. I meant to buy a navy-and-white-striped cotton jacket at […]
I am not a suit girl. I always had an interview suit or two, of course, but I usually felt like I was playing dress-up when I wore it. And most of the places I’ve worked have been pretty casual. But the Maryland statehouse, Capitol Hill and the Pentagon aren’t really jeans-and-a-T-shirt kinds of places, […]
Even though I went to Georgia and will always root for the Bulldogs, I felt like I had to become a Navy fan when we moved to Annapolis a few years ago and lived at the Naval Academy. We had season tickets our first year, and then Toby was a company officer at the academy […]
I totally meant to post these BEFORE the Army-Navy game. But then I spent a zillion hours baking “Go Navy, Beat Army” cookies, and my oven stopped working and I had to finish baking the cookies in my neighbor’s oven… and then Michael Phelps was swimming about a mile from my house, so obviously we […]
I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things have been kinda crazy around here. Toby got promoted (yay!) and I’ve been doing all sorts of job-search-related activities, plus I baked about four dozen cookies for the Food Blogger Cookie Swap… and then decided those cookies didn’t look pretty enough so I baked another […]
You all know I am a Georgia fan. But since we’ve been living at the Naval Academy, I’ve also become a Navy fan. It’s kind of hard not to, with the midshipmen “marching” (walking) to every home game, the plebes doing push-ups every time the football team scores and that ship-like horn that blows for […]
Tomorrow, (more than) a boatload of midshipmen will graduate from the Naval Academy and sail off into the sunset… or at least into the Navy and Marine Corps. That clearly calls for cookies. The Naval Academy’s mascot is Bill the Goat, so I’ve been looking for a goat cookie cutter for ages. I finally found […]
