The friendliest place on earth

One of the main things Mike and I noticed on our trip to Colorado was how nice everyone was. From the lift operators and the ski patrols to the restaurant staff and shopkeepers, everybody was so happy, friendly and concerned with whether we were enjoying their lovely slice of paradise. You almost expect those types [...]

Back from paradise

I’m back from my amazing adventure in Colorado and while I wish we could have gone away for longer, it also felt good to come back to our apartment last night. It’s so much nicer to come home from a trip and be at the same house. It was also great for packing because we [...]

Some much-needed R&R

Th weekend flew by, but it still managed to be both productive and relaxing. Mike and I tried to go to this new restaurant/bar in Cambridge called Lord Hobo, but there was a line just to get in the door! It’s where the always delightful B-Side used to be and judging by the popularity of [...]

Vacation anticipation

Muzzy’s longtime love affair with Alka Seltzer has finally paid off, as it seems to have (mostly) cured me of this rotten, little cold. I’m really glad because Mike and I are headed to Colorado next week for some skiing and relaxation and the last thing I wanted was to be sick on our trip. [...]

When it rains, it pours

Sorry for the lack of posting, but I’ve had a very busy week. A busy week filled with sickness … again! I actually think I might be making a quick recovery, but I don’t want to jinx it. Basically, I had a horrible cough on Monday, a really bad sore throat on Tuesday and yesterday [...]

Let the games begin

The weekend turned out to be busier than expected, but I still managed to do some relaxing. Mostly, it just felt really short, but knowing that I’ve got a vacation on the horizon definitely helps. I came home from work on Friday to a beautiful bunch of Valentine’s flowers that I was able to enjoy [...]

Weather people are clueless*

Announcement: I will never trust a weather person again. I am working from home today because of this huge, horrible storm we were supposed to get–particularly bad during the evening rush hour–and it’s barely even snowed! Working from home has been great for productivity, but totally unnecessary for the weather. I’ve gotten loads of work [...]

T.G.I.A.F.*

February may be the shortest month of the year, bu it already feels like the longest. This week has been completely crazy and hectic … and it’s not even close to being over! I usually hate to wish the time away, but knowing that the entire weekend is going to be consumed by a short [...]

A surprise ending

What a weekend! I’m still so happy to be feeling better and I’m taking full advantage of my good health. This weekend was busy, but really fun and ended with a really nice surprise. Friday night was pretty low-key, dinner at home and then out for a few drinks with friends. Mike and I called [...]

Mid-week mash-up

Last night, I saw “Crazy Heart” starring Jeff Bridges as a drunk, washed-up musician named Bad Blake and Maggie Gyllenhaal as a young mother and journalist. Their unlikely paths bring them together when both are flailing through life, making one poor choice after another. But as their relationship unravels, it helps them wake up to [...]
