GLEE.

So there’s a lot of hype about this new show Glee on FOX, but it’s all perfectly acceptable because I have been watching it every week and it truly is all it’s hyped up to be. It’s HILARIOUS. The show is essentially about “The Glee Club”, a singing group with a bunch of “lima losers”, if you will. They basically sing and dance and are ultimately trying to win some high school competition. This show is fabulous. And the characters are laugh-out-loud, pee-in-your pants kind of funny. I love them all but my favorite, by far, is Kurt. He is the best. At our apartment we are constantly rewinding all parts involving Kurt because he is HYSterical. Did you see the single ladies episode last week? OMG. His sashay’s were incredible. I DIED laughing! I also can’t help but love Emma, the guidance counselor, because her outfits are SO j.crew and SO delightful. She is always wearing cardigans too and that just makes me smile. If you don’t watch Glee yet, you should. It’s highly entertaining and totally worth your while. You can watch all episodes for free on FOX.com, just click on the link to watch full episodes and select Glee. You’ll be singing along and dancing in your apartment/house in no time. And who doesn’t love to do that?!!!

I have to end this post with the Glee promo. Because it’s amazing:

Copley Farmers Market

Oh MY! I went to the Copley Farmers Market today and had a hay-day. The market runs on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5/19-11/24… which means I still have 2 more months of delicious and fresh fruits, vegetables, and baked goods. YUM-MMY. This is not my first time at the farmers market, but I did just start going this fall because I’m not working full time and actually have the hours off that the market is open. I love it. I look forward to Tuesdays so much now! Which, I might add, is AWESOME because seriously, who likes Tuesdays? Today I came home with all sorts of goodies: zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, raspberries, and the best chocolate banana bread in the whole entire country. I bought the big loaf this week because last time I bought the small loaf and ate the entire thing by myself in less than 2 hours. I thought I would be more generous and share this time around. Good thing I bought the big loaf too, because I ate quite a bit when I got home. Then Meg and Lauren had a go at it. And now there are only a few slices left (hopefully, they’ll still be some around for b-fast in the AM). Man, that bread is something else.
Here’s some photos I took today (some at the market and some of my purchases):


Hopefully I’ll have time to swing by again on Friday. Just love having fresh local goodies in the APT. It’s just so “animal, vegetable, miracle”!!

beacon hill.

Beacon Hill is hands down the most adorable neighborhood in Boston. It’s just so quaint and old fashioned, almost like you’ve stepped back in time. The streets are lined with brick rowhouses and are so narrow the trees cover the roads creating a canopy overhead. The sidewalks are brick too, and there are gaslights for many of the street lamps. I was just over there tonight because two of my friends just moved into a super sweet apartment on Temple Street. It’s SO Beacon Hill and beautiful. I hope to be over there again soon, helping decorate rooms and such (one of my life passions). I think my favorite part of Beacon Hill though has to be Charles Street on “the flat of the hill”. It has tons of cute shops and delicious little places to eat. Just love walking around there on a sunny Saturday. It’s the definition of classic. LOVE Beacon Hill!!

YAY!!

I am BEYOND thrilled right now. I just found my tiffanys “a” necklace!! It’s funny too, because I was literally just thinking about it yesterday (WEIRD!). I got this necklace about 5 or 6 years ago for Christmas and until today hadn’t seen it for at least 2 years. I bought this earring/necklace holder today at T.J. Maxx and so I was going through my old jewelry box looking for items to display and that is when I came across the “a” necklace! WooHoo! YAY YAY YAY. It took me awhile to untangle it, but now it’s around my neck and is good as new! It didn’t even tarnish after all those years of hiding. Now that’s quality.
