Brooklyn Bound…

Last Wednesday I took a little trip to good old Brooklyn. I never really knew Brooklyn until about a year ago, when two of my best friends moved there from Manhattan, but boy am I glad we met. Sure is a nice place. Here’s a little recap of my trip to the city that never sleeps:

See ya later, Greenwich!

Next stop: Grand Central Station

Off to Rebecca’s MFA Thesis Exhibition!
And to the studio where she does her magic…
Hello Brooklyn and hello JOYA.
Catching up with Bails on her glorious couch.
Opening some Christmas presents…
Classic cusp love. Nothing better.

Santa Sunday.

We had the most hilarious day of skiing today for Zan’s Birthday. It was the 10th annual Santa Sunday at Sunday River Ski Resort in Maine and we decided to take part in the craziness! The event is put on every year to raise money for families and children in need. You have to wear a santa suit and bring a donation of $10 then you get to ski free for the day and you get 2 other free passes to come back and ski again! It’s a win-win situation… I mean, who doesn’t like dressing up like santa, wearing a crazy wig, and putting on all their ski gear?
I’m sitting here chuckling just thinking about how funny it was! Check out the pictures!
We stayed in this cozy little house the night before… love all the SNOW!!!
can you tell who’s who? HA!

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.

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.
