just another manic monday.

November 24, 2009

Yesterday was a great day for me. For Meg, not so much. I’ve decided to tell this story because the end is just too funny not to tell. We laughed about it all through dinner!

At 11:00 I get a panicked call: “Anna! I can’t find my wallet anywhere. And I don’t have any money and I need to bring Stuart to McDonalds.”

I calmed her down and told her to meet me in the Pru and I’d give her some cash. Problem solved.

At 11:45: “Anna! This is the worst day ever. I don’t have my keys to the house and I need to get the car keys and go pick up Stuart.”

She decided to climb the fence. No big deal, right? Not really, until she stood on the trash can, the trash can tipped over, and she broke off a piece of the fence. Whoops.

At 12:00: “Ok I’m good. I got in the house, I’m in the car. Everything’s OK.”

AWESOME. My day is going just fine at this point. No troubles at all except for all the frantic phone calls. At 2:30 I arrive at the house Meg babysits at so she can go to class. (I help her out every Monday afternoon.) When I got there she was wearing a princess crown. I saw it on her head, but didn’t think much of it. Thought it was normal I guess. Why? I have NO idea.

At 3:00: “ANNA. Why did you not tell me I left the house with a crown on my head?!!!!!!!”

HAHAHA. She had left the house, walked through Boston, had been on the train for 20 minutes and had the crown on her head the entire time. HAHAHAHAHA. Oh Megs, what a day.

At least we ended the night well- Meg, Zan, Josh and I to Fajitas and ‘Ritas for some eats before heading over to the movie theatre to see NEW MOON!! Ahh, it was glorious. Yeah TEAM EDWARD!

weekend in Maine!

November 23, 2009

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.

pretty ugly.

November 12, 2009

I just love these little ugly dolls!! They’re so wacky and dare I say, adorable? I sure think so. I discovered them a few years ago while my friend was first starting up at her advertising job. All her co-workers were into buying these little figurines that were weird and goofy. So when I came across an ugly doll in a catalog I thought it would be a perfect little present for her! That was a couple of years ago, when there were only a few ugly doll characters. Now the creatures are everywhere, and after looking at the website I see they have over 20 uglys!

What kind of name is OX? No, not like the animal OX, as in HUG and KISS! How can he hug you with such short arms? OX uses his ears! He’s not a very good listener, but he puts his ears to good use in many other ways! OX is great at magic, and his best trick is turning your stuff into his stuff.

Bop n’ Beep love to do everything together. Be it an arguement over snacks, which movie to see, or what color race car not to drive, they always see things quite differently from one another. Bop gets along really well with Ox (they see things X to X) while Beep happens to think Wedgehead really knows his stuff. (just stuff, you know.)

Plunko is a business man. He’s got his own car wash, his own tire store, and ideas for lots of other stores. Some of those ideas are his very own! Plunko is a good guy to know. If you know Plunko, you can say you’ve got some connections. And if you call Plunko’s phone, you may get a bad connection.

I have collected 3 of my favorites. They match the colors of my room and I just think they add a touch of flair. They live on my bed between my sham pillows. They are pretty ugly, but super lovable too.

Drinks at the Roadhouse: taste victory.

November 8, 2009

Last night, we headed over to the Roadhouse in Washington Square to meet up with our friends Hillary and John for some drinks. They have a huge selection of craft beers, and it’s fun to try the different kinds. Last night I went with the Alagash White- not too creative but one that I do enjoy. Zan got the Ithaca Flower Power IPA and was very excited about it because it’s one of his favorites from back in the day at Hobart. Last night the Roadhouse was pretty empty, which was strange for a Saturday night, but the atmosphere is nice and we had a fun time. I’ve eaten here before, when the theme was BBQ, but it looks like they have changed their menu to Baja Bayou (whatever that means?). Hm, maybe they aren’t doing so well? I’ll have to go back sometime soon and try out the new food. I really liked the old food and it’s a bummer that they changed it. They used to have deep fried pickles, which were incredible, so I hope that’s still on the menu. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

Here’s some pics from last night:
