thanksgiving is for giving thanks.

It’s Thanksgiving today so here goes a list of what I am thankful for. The full list would fill pages and pages of paper, but here’s a few important things I can think of on this particularly joyful day:
1) Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and sweet potato casserole. And PIE. Lots and lots of pie.
2) Zyrtec. (My gram has 2 cats.)
Without it I wouldn’t be breathing right now.
3) My camera. For snapping great shots
and helping me capture the memories.
4) My health. Swine free and very grateful.
So far, so good.
5). LOVE. I’m thankful for all the people who bring
love to my life and happiness to my heart.
Sending buckets of love back to you today and every day of the year!
CHEERS! And Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Let the eating begin….

So I arrived in CT today for Thanksgiving Break. YAY VACATION! This holiday marks the start of many a feasts. You know what I say about that? Bring it.

Tonight we had Grammy’s special homemade spaghetti and meatballs. I tried to hold myself back to leave room for the turkey tomorrow but I’ll let you know I didn’t have very good luck with that. The meatballs are just too good. I love visiting my Gram. It’s so relaxing. While I’m here I plan on doing a lot of reading, watching TV, eating, and sleeping. And blogging too of course. Tomorrow we’re heading on down to Josh’s house for Thanksgiving Dinner. We’re in charge of bringing dessert- my favorite part! And then Friday I have plans to stay away from Greenwich Ave. We’ll see how that works out. Cross your fingers for me!
Well, it’s time for me to sit back in the recliner chair. Can’t wait for Glee tonight. Have a great vacation everyone! Hope you arrived at your Turkey Day destinations safetly! xoxo.

Paris Creperie

The Paris Creperie, located in Coolidge Corner, is just so delicious it makes me melt. I stopped by here tonight to grab a quick dinner before my class. I decided to go for my staple item: the ham and gruyere cheese crepe. Delicious with a capital “D”. I love coming here for a fast bite, or even a weekend brunch. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends, but it’s well worth waiting for a table. The place is UBER small, but that’s part of what I love about it. They have a million different kinds of crepes to choose from, or if you’re picky you can make your own! My other favorite kind to get is the Nutella and banana crepe. That one is DELECTABLE (spelled with all caps!). It is so mouth watering you won’t even believe it’s real. You’ll probably have to pinch yourself just to make sure you’re not dreaming. I’m serious, it’s that good.
So next time your around Coolidge Corner, stop by the Paris Creperie! Choose one that you find appetizing, get it to go (and one for me while your at it) and stop on by the old apartment! We can hang out and catch up. Drink coffee with eggnog and devour our crepes together. What are you waiting for? Get on over here! It’ll be GREAT!

weekend in Maine!

Had some good old fashioned Maine fun this weekend! Went up Saturday to visit with Hannah and we had a great time catching up, discussing wedding details, eating, hanging out with Hobart and Todd, and shopping! We went out to dinner Sat night with Reebs at a cute little restaurant in Portland called Pat’s Cafe. YUM! We got mussels for our appetizer and then I got Shepard’s Pie, Han got crab crusted haddock, and Reebs went with the hanger steak. Triple YUM!

Here’s a pic of me with Hannah’s new kitten Finley. So little and cute! I even liked him and I hate cats. I’m so allergic, it’s insane. Luckily, he doesn’t have real cat fur yet so I was safe. But I don’t know what I’ll do when he grows up! I’ll have to double up on the Benadryl, which may result in me sleeping the whole time. He is a good looking cat though, so he has that going for him, I guess.
Sunday was super successful because we got up and went to YOGA! Not my first time, but it’s something I don’t do regularly. I reeeeally liked it and wish I could find a good place here in Brookline! I felt amazing afterwards. And the space was very cool. Yay yoga.


For lunch we went to this great restaurant called O’Naturals. It’s a new fast food chain, but they only use natural and organic ingredients, which is pretty neat! I had a flatbread BLT and Han got a pesto chicken sandwich. It was super good and is a very original idea for a restaurant.

The afternoon we hit up the j.crew outlet (had to) and then it was back to Boston for me! Concord Coach Lines all the way… they have free wifi now too! FAB! I just love visiting Maine!
Thanks for having me, Han.. see you on the 19th! xoxo.
