New Year’s Resolutions

Happy New Year! It’s the last day of 2008 and whew, what a year it’s been. It started out crappy, but things have ended on a real high note. Overall though, this year was pretty good, despite my dad’s health problems. I moved to Boston (well technically that was in 2007, but it was December, [...]

An old fart or just getting older?

Yesterday during my lunch break, I decided to hit the local mall to check out the post-holiday sales. While the deals were decent (I got a $90 sweater for $40 at Ann Taylor Loft), the company was frightening. Maybe I’m just getting up there in age, but the youths loitering around the mall were more [...]

Holiday roundup

I’ve taken a bit of a hiatus from blogging (and life) the last few days, as I’ve been home in New Hampshire relaxing with the family. I had a wonderful holiday weekend, a major improvement over last year when we were all sitting in the hospital. This year was fantastic … here’s a little recap.
I [...]

Happy Holidays!

It’s my last day of work this week, then I’m headed home to New Hampshire for Christmas. I hope the drive isn’t too bad. Yesterday, it took me two hours and 15 minutes to get home from work. Ridiculous. But I’ll have a few days to relax and rest this week, which is fantastic. I [...]

Going to the chapel

And we’re gonna get married …
What a weekend! Mike and I hightailed it out of Boston on Thursday night to avoid the snowstorm on Friday, which was a very smart decision.For some reason, there was a ton of traffic on Thursday, so it took me two hours to get home from work. Luckily, Mike placated [...]

Life imitating art, or at least television

My favorite television show, “Gilmore Girls,” has this great episode where one of the lead characters, Lorelai, is so happy when it starts to snow for the first time that year. She rushes outside in the middle of the night to welcome the fluffy white stuff to her small New England town. Unfortunately, their relationship [...]

Spinning a yarn

My parents arrived back from their jaunt to London and Paris last night. It was so great to talk to them and find out that they had an absolutely wonderful time. It seems like they enjoyed London the best, although they did say that Paris was beautiful and magical as well. I’m not surprised because [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I’m feeling mostly better today, I guess getting nine hours of sleep did the trick. I’m glad because this weekend is going to be crazy, there’s a lot going on at work and not at work, leaving me no time to fight off a cold. I’m also pumped because I actually have enough energy to [...]

Spreading holiday cheer

Best part of the weekend: Holiday party on Saturday night at my apartment/exchanging gifts with Mike.
Worst part of the weekend: Being sick and getting sicker.
This was a weekend full of holiday cheer and parties to match. Friday night was an old-school cocktail party throw by Mike’s roommate John. The men wore ties and the women [...]

Winter storm and a travel update

I can’t believe it’s already Friday again, this week really flew by. I’ve been busy making preparations for my holiday party tomorrow and I’m so excited about it. I have a pre-Hanukah party to attend tonight, which should be excellent. We had some really bad wetaher here and all over New England last night, but [...]
