Lucking out

Last night I enjoyed a lovely evening at home with my roommates and it was so relaxing. Carly made a great meatloaf and we all had some wine and chatted. It was so fun and I am so lucky to have found them as roommates. We all get along so well and because we all [...]

Carrying on the best we can

So it’s been raining for about three days straight, and I am tired of it. True, it’s making everything grow nicely, but under the circumstances, I could use a little sunshine in my life. I know it’ll be sunny again soon enough, but the weather is definitely not helping lift my spirits. I did get [...]

An ode to Yankee, the noble beast, October 1996 to April 2008

Yesterday was one of the worst days ever, although it seems I’ve been having a lot of those lately. (How many worst days of your life [...]

Quilts old and new

So I went to Target yesterday to look at bed linens and came up empty handed. I was totally prepared to get a whole new bedroom set, but I couldn’t find anything that I liked. I actually did not buy one thing at Target, which is shocking, usually I have a cart full of stuff [...]

Week flies by

I went running with the gang again yesterday and now my thighs are burning like the fires of Hades. Other than barely being able to walk up or down the stairs, I’m just glad that I got to be outside since it was such a gorgeous day. It’s beautiful again today, and I can hardly [...]

Running, going home and man’s best friend

After being inspired by the Marathon, we decided to go running yesterday. It was hard, as I haven’t done a lot of exercise since I moved to Boston, but it felt great, I slept really well and it put me in a good mood. We’re going for round two today and I hope this becomes [...]

Fun weekend but back to reality

The weekend was great fun, everyone got along really well and good times we had by all. Tristan came on Saturday morning, and we wandered around Somerville and Cambridge for the better part of the afternoon, eventually making our way over to Mike and Rob’s house for a barbeque. It was an epic event, with [...]

Countdown to the weekend

It is so incredibly gorgeous outside right now. I’m glad that I at least have two big windows surrounding my desk so that I can sort of feel as if I am outside. If I wasn’t at work right now, I would be frolicking barefoot in the grass. But that will come soon enough. Tonight [...]

Busy week

So my dad is getting moved to a rehab facility in Boston this afternoon, which is great. It’s one step closer to home and getting out of the hospital is a momentous step at this point. I wouldn’t be happier if I never go back to that place again in my life. Work is super [...]

That’s what I said

I’m feeling much better today, not quite so overwhelmed. I had a relaxing night at home yesterday, with a lovely walk outside, a yummy dinner and fun times with Mike. We watched several episodes of “The Office,” which I have been catching up on lately. It’s such a funny show, I can’t believe I never [...]
