Great Friends (and great Thai too).

2 weekends ago when the Brickhouse girls swung into town we ended up at a delicious Thai restaurant in the South End. My original plan had been to drink and dine at Toro, but the place is so popular there was a 31/2 hour wait (I do not kid you). SO we ditched that plan because we were terribly famished and headed to the nearest restaurant we could find. No need to look far, we stumbled on Equator, a nice Thai place right across the street. And whad’ya know- there was no wait. LUCKYYYYY. The atmosphere was so pleasant, the music (90’s music, elevator style) was classy, the food excellent, and most importantly- the company was superb.

If your ever on Washington Street and there is a 31/2 hour wait at Toro, or if you are just looking for great Thai food at reasonable prices, head on over to Equator:
1721 Washington Street
Boston, Ma 02118
After dinner we headed over to Beacon Hill for free drinks at the Liberty Hotel (THANKS, Josh!). The Liberty Hotel used to be the old county jail. Now it’s a SUPER fancy, EXTRA snazzy hotel. A great place to go when your friends are in town on a Saturday night.

“The jail’s granite exterior and expansive, light-filled interiors remain largely unchanged. Soaring 90 feet, the jail’s central atrium was beautifully preserved and forms the core of the hotel. It features the building’s trademark windows and historic catwalks. The preserved jail cells within the hotel restaurant and wrought-iron work on the windows are just two examples of preservation.”

It was such a great time just catching up and remenising with the girls. We are all in different cities on the east coast so getting together is not always easy, but absolutely worth it. We really need to do this more often!! And to the B-house ladies that weren’t able to make the trip: you were VERY much missed!! Love you guys! xoxoxo.

RUN, Forest, RUN.

Yesterday was Marathon Monday– The Boston Marathon!!

Those runners are absolutely amazing. It’s so inspiring. Makes me want to be a runner.

Unfortunately, I am not really a runner. Never did like it much. But guess what? Tomorrow I am getting up early and going for a run. My legs just feel like they want to after seeing the marathon. I realize this is just another one of my crazy impulses, but whatever, a girl can pretend.

I’m going down the street, around the reservoir and back.
Wish me luck.
