Sorry I have been missing!

Update on my Life:

Weekend of October 8-9:

1. College Friends came into town and we had a fabulous time!
2. Dinner at Pho Basil on Friday night followed by lots of wine and tons of laughs
3. Saturday we walked around Newbery street and did some shopping at Madewell
4. Saturday Night we went to Molly's apartment for a pregame, then out to the Point by the North end for dancing - absolutely amazing time!
5. Sunday we went to brunch at Joe's American grille and gossiped :-)

Supper Club - Nia's Turn

1. She made an absolutely amazing dish of braised short ribs, with polenta and broccoli (sorry N if I butchered any of the names)
2. All I know - it was unbelievable





This past weekend:

1. My Dad came to visit the great city of Boston.
2. We went to brunch, then walked around Fanuiel Hall - Did some of the freedom Trail, but decided ducking into Sissy K's for a nice cold one would be a great idea



3. Then we had dinner in Chinatown - East Ocean City - which by far has the best Chinese food in Boston!
4. Sunday, we went to brunch at Charlies and headed towards Jerry Remy's to watch the Ravens vs. Patriots game. We sadly lost in OT, but it was an awesome game!
5. Then after, we did a little shopping - I got a new winter coat that I am in love with!

Check it out:



It will be perfect for the harsh winter ahead!

Wicked!

Last night I had a great time going with my book club ladies to see the infamous Broadway play, Wicked!

It was an absolutely amazing show, and would definitely recommend everyone living in Boston to see this show - it will truly blow you away!



I'm also very excited to see where our expanded book club will go. There was talk last night of trying to create a culture club where once a month we venture to some place in the city - Wine Tastings, MFA, Festivals, New Restaurants etc. Sounds like fun huh?! Sign me up!

Faux-Fur Vests

I must have this faux-fur vest from Michael Kors - it is absolutely amazing! With the new store opening at the Pru soon and winter right around the corner - I will make it my goal to have this gem!

Double Rings

I'm obsessed with the double finger rings like these:

Fun Snake ring from Betseyjohnson.com



Urbanoutfitters.com



Finally, my favorite - rings made by Erica Anenberg:

k-12 online schooling?!

The other day I was watching TV and saw this ad come on about k-12 grade kids having the ability to learn from online courses in the convenience of their homes.

Wow, this was the most absurd thing I've ever heard of, lets give this program a pat on the back for helping childhood obesity and allowing the kids to become anti-social so that one day they will grow up to become some kind of weird lunatic/serial killer...

I'm just sayin...

Dancing with the ....Situation?

Last night I embarrassingly got sucked into watching Dancing with the Stars. This is only because they have the most ridiculous cast I have yet to see on the show. The cast includes David Hasselhoff (yup - Baywatch), The Situation, Palin's daughter - Brisol, Brandy, Audrina Partridge and a few others that I didn't really recognize.

This show is hilarious and if you have nothing else to do on a Monday night I recommend this show for sure!

Trivia Wednesday

Last night was so much fun! I met up with work friends, some have moved on to other jobs so it was great getting everyone together, for McGreevy Trivia Night!



Oh and I have to mention that we actually won - crazy huh?! Definitely planning on using the gift card for next weeks Trivia night!

I do have to confess though...I was there purely for decoration. I in no way contributed to any answers for the big win...but it was fun...haha I guess that's all that matters...right? I just don't have a wide knowledge of subjects like sports or history...
