Day 52 - Sleep Stripes

After my busy weekend I am super tired. So after the gym I put on my PJs. I do feel a little wrong PJing it up at noon, but it needed to be done. It's a cold rainy day so it makes it even better. Plus my kitties are showing me a lot of love today. Mia is on my lap behind the computer right now actually. Gonna catch up on some TV, finish my book, and be lazy the rest of the day. I should upload my pictures from my weekend away, but that might be too much effort for me. We'll see....

Day 49, 50, and 51 - NYC Trip

Friday - Left super early for NYC. Took the bus to the subway to the bus terminal. The Bolt Bus to NYC wasn't bad. Meet up with Bridget and Meghan at the Palace hotel. We went out for lunch then did some sightseeing. Went to Rockefeller Center, and Central Park.  Went to two different sushi places for dinner. Had appetizers at one and then dinner at another in Times Square. Bridget got to see all the craziness that was. The entire day was a TON of fun. A lot of laughs for sure!!

Saturday - Even got the view from the hotel in the background :)  Had another great day in the city. Went to the Empire State Building. And a random street fair where we had deep fried Oreo's and bought WAY too many scarves. Then headed to Madam Toussaud's Wax Museum, which was an obscene amount of fun. Left Bridget and Meghan at 4. They met up with a friend from FL and I moved to a new hotel with Elyse. Went out for some Italian food with her friends, and then to a bar for the night. Somehow managed to stay up til the wee hours.



Sunday - Elyse and I did some marathon watching from the TV in the hotel lobby as we tried to stay awake. Headed out to 88th and 1st. Watched the marathon for like 3 hours from there. Saw her cousins and Ian. Still don't get why anyone would want to run a marathon. It's one hell of an accomplishment though. After the race we met Elyse's brother for dinner. On the way we found a sock store!!! Yes I said Sock Store!! There were like a million socks in the store!! Of course I bought some. The weird thing about the store was that all the socks were mismatched and in sets of three. Totally bizzaro but cool. After dinner, Elyse and I headed back to Boston.  

Overall it was a fun trip. I loved spending time with Bridget and Meghan. We had so much fun. Came home with a new hat, scarves, and some mismatched socks. What more could I ask for :)

Day 48 - NY Taxi

In honor of my trip to NYC tomorrow I am wearing my NY Taxi socks. These definitely didn't come from New York. Pretty suer I got them at the New York New York casino in Las Vegas.

Looking foward to heading south tomorrow. It's gonna be a pretty big weekend. Hanging out with Bridget and Meghan Friday and Saturday. Then meeting up with Elyse on Saturday night. Have to really step up my game, since she's a night owl and will prolly wanna be out til the wee hours. Then Sunday Elyse and I are gonna meet up with Autumn so we can watch Ian run the marathon. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone and spending time in New York. I haven't been there in a long while. Think the last time was with Andrea at the beginning of 2008.

However the thing I least look forward to is the trip there. I am taking a bus from Boston over. I am sure it will be fine, just long. And the early trip to South Station to get the bus doesn't sound like fun, especially since it's suppossed to be raining in the morning. Once I get on the Orange Line I should be good though. Just hope the bus to get there is running on time tomorrow. Don't want me and my suitcase to be soaked.

Don't think I will be able to post when I am gone, but I will bring back pictures :)  Til Monday....

Day 47 - Blue Flowers

I could have sworn I posted earlier today, but apparently not.

Don't have much to report today. Finally starting to feel somewhat better. Thankfully! Spent some quality time cleaning. FYI, for anyone who hasn't tried the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Sprayer thing you totally should. Works pretty awesome. So now I have a sparkling clean bathroom :)

Thinking I wanna start having some special features on the blog. Not sure what exactly. I was thinking maybe a Top Five list once a week. Or some more pictures.  Not sold on anything yet. Definitley open to suggestions.

Day 46 - Sunflower Pooh

Winnie the Pooh apparently likes to wear overalls, at least according to my socks. These have been a part of my collection for a long time. They are very worn on the bottom, see the white spot on the sole. I won't throw out socks until they have holes in them.

Still feeling sicky pants today. I would really like to be able to breath better. Congestion is not my friend. : (

Been doing a lot of cooking lately. Last night I made some super yummy Hot and Sour Soup. It tastes almost as good as the one from Szcheuan in Naples. No matter where I've lived or what I've tried, That place still remains my all time favorite Chinese restaurant. No one does Hunan Shrimp quite a good. Haven't found a Chinese place I love in Melrose yet. They are ok, but nothing fantastic. And being a food snob, I like fantastic. Just talking about Chinese food makes me want an egg roll. Maybe I will have to order some this afternoon. Hmmmm.....

Day 45 - Lilac

Had to bust out my winter boots this morning. It is super chilly pants.

Spent the day doing some errands. Went to two of my favorite places, the library and Target. Made a stop at PetSmart and the grocery store too. Big day for me! Still feeling under the weather so accomplich anything makes me feel accomplished. Gonna make some homemade Hot & Sour Soup for dinner tonight. Hopefully it'll help clear out my sinuses. Need to get better cause I am off to NYC this weekend to meet up with Bridget and watch Ian run in the marathon. Should be fun :)

Day 44 - Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!  I am not giving out Halloween candy this year. Since I don't really like candy I don't want to have any leftovers around the house. Plus since I am on a tiny dead end street I doubt there will be too many kids ringing my doorbell.

And now some Halloween pictures from my post college life.

Soldier Girl

Little Red Riding Hood

I was Little Red Riding Hood a few years before that, but I can't find any pictures of me from then. Oh well.

Enjoy your Halloween!
