Just for fun, I thought I’d do a “favorite things” post. It’s awfully cold out today (and will be ever colder tomorrow), so I am spending the morning under a cozy blanket watching dvr’ed episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. A very perfect Saturday morning in my humble opinion.

Have a nice weekend!!

Today, both Meg and I had the day off of work (yay MLK Jr.!) so we decided to meet up with Andrea for a walk in the Boston Public Garden and a little shopping on Newbury Street.

I of course took my camera to see if I could get any good shots! The air might have been freezing (18 degrees!), but the sun was shining bright and the sky was the most perfect shade of blue.

We ate a late lunch at Piattini Gelateria and Cafe, a new addition to the classic “small plates” Piattini, which Caroline and I loved to frequent when we lived in Back Bay right after college (remember, friend?!). The cafe has small paninis, salads, soups, and of course, gelato. A nice place to sit and chat on a cold afternoon!

I’ll leave here with one of my favorite MLK Jr. quotes:

‎”I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”

Hope you had a nice MLK day!

Today was quite the winter wonderland here in Boston.

I did very little on my planned out snow day list, except shovel my car.

Ellen wasn’t on due to storm coverage and the food project didn’t get done due to a power outage (11 am – 5 pm!). I did manage to read some, but mostly I was taking pictures of all the white!!

The power outage was a bit of a bummer at first, until LJ had the fabulous idea to make mimosas and play Catch Phrase. Ended up being a really fun afternoon!

Cheers for snow days!
