Friday night we met Kristin and Paul at Mercury Burger Bar in Corktown. I had stopped in for a milkshake last summer but this was my first look at the menu. It’s fantastic. I started where I left off with a shake – The Hummer (Kahlua, dark rum, and vanilla ice cream – PERFECTION!). We … More Mercury Burger Bar
Destiny Is For Losers has always been inspired by the wise words of Blair Waldorf: “Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.” Thus far this blog’s focus has been the things I’ve done to forego future regret and keep a productive lifestyle. … More A New Direction
Since our budget is the top priority I don’t worry about Valentine’s Day. A card is appreciated and maybe a small treat but I don’t expect or need anything else. This year I figured we’d relax at home and watch the Olympics but to my surprise Danny had other plans. He rushed home from work … More Valentine’s Day Surprise
Yesterday Danny and I had an impromptu date night. Originally we were going to go on a double date to Slows but it was postponed. Instead of going home we decided to try out a new restaurant in the city. The cold has kept me indoors so it was great to spend time in Detroit. … More Union Street
I’m running out of single friends now that Chris and Emily made it official this weekend. I’m so happy for them! I was Emily’s intern when they first started dating so I knew Chris before I started working with him. It’s amazing to think how quickly time has pasted and fun to think that in … More Chris and Emily’s Wedding
I had another busy weekend and did many things; however, it I’m honest I could have accomplished more. Friday: Movie night turned into chat night. I ordered the deep dish pizza I’d been craving and took a nap before Melissa came over. We drank wine and talked weddings, jobs, housing, life in general. I confided … More Weekend Update
I loved decorating our first apartment but it was a lot of work for not too much time spent there. I wanted to be sure to avoid that mistake this time around. At the same time I wanted to give our current home a homey feel and some Detroit accents were a must. I pulled … More Home is Where Detroit Is
It was another action packed weekend. Thursday: Danny and I stayed downtown after work and hit up Dangerously Delicious Pies. Against my better judgement I tried something new and regretted it. The sausage, fennel, tomato pie wasn’t bad but it wasn’t as delectable as the S.M.O.G and I had food envy. Then we met Cara, … More Weekend Update
One of the highlights of our trip to NYC was the discovery of City Bakery’s french toast. I wanted to check it out for a Gossip Girl experience and lucked out that Danny decided to try what turned out to be one of their signature offerings. Since we’re not going back to the Big Apple … More City Bakery French Toast
I had a super fun, super busy weekend. Friday, I rushed to the gym to get my workout on. I’m really glad I’m in a gym going mood AND a running mood these days. If I can get my diet under control I bet I would have some pretty sweet results. After my workout … More Weekend Update
