Hi from Baltimore! I’ve been having lots of fun hanging out with my grandma and doing some relaxing with my mom and sister! Obviously, good food has been involved. Some highlights have been the authentic Maryland crab cakes, whiskey sours at the retirement center’s bar, and an enormous bread pudding that I shared with Kath. And the Loehmann’s shopping was fabulous! Though I didn’t find a striped clutch, I found another cute handbag and four dresses! I also found my…

Saturday’s wedding was delightful. The sun popped out just in the time for the 4 o’clock ceremony (thus the squinty eyes). I really didn’t think Houston was that hot, but I’m sure the men felt differently in their suits. The church was beautiful and I loved the candles in the background. I also think it’s sweet when the whole family goes up to the altar for a blessing. Mr. and Mrs. Monda!! The gals during cocktail hour: I had my…

When I was at the park, I actually overheard a girl talking about me to another, saying “I always check the weather in the morning…I feel so sorry for the people who have on wool sweaters and coats today.” Hey, I check the weather every morning too, but Boston is unpredictable and I was…

Good evening, Anything exciting happen this weekend? If you guessed that I ate and drank my way through the weekend, you’d be correct! I also laughed, a lot. You see, Kath gave Matt a gift card to a local comedy club for his birthday and we cashed it in last night for two tickets to see a visiting comedian. Matt was playing soccer yesterday afternoon, so we didn’t have a whole lot of time to grab dinner before the show…
I don’t want to blog about how bitter I am to be back in cold, rainy Boston with lots of work to do. I’d rather just dream about my next vacation and reflect on how wonderful our last day in San Francisco was: I slept perfectly at Emily’s and there was even a fire burning to keep me warm! We slept late and went for a mini walk/jog along the water before heading out for brunch. We walked to a…
