Dress battle
One of my oldest friends is getting married on May 24. I am really looking forward to being there, but I also am really looking forward to being a stunner. I’m proud of the 30-ish pounds that I lost and I want to look sexy, cool and confident. I also had a Macy’s gift card […]

Once again
March has been a hard month. Marc’s been OUT of town more often than he’s been in it. The majority of his travel has been for work, but this last leg (from yesterday — Friday — until April 1, Wednesday), he is in California, visiting his mom. I’m happy for him, to be able to […]

Blogging Dinner: Black Bean Soup
I found this great recipe on the Weight Watchers site, but tweaked it, to fit my love of tomatoes, and my great enjoyment of leftovers. (I made way more than 2 people need, but I will eat soup for every meal, easily.) You can make it on the stove or in the crockpot. I put […]

Uh oh, Kenley
Uhhhm, looks like ol’ Kenley has gotten herself in a bit of trouble. You can read about her assault arrest (she assaulted her boyfriend with a her CAT, water, apples and her computer) all over the internet. on the one hand, it makes me laugh because she’s such a loon, but on the other hand, […]

Coaster Thieves Appreciation Day
This post is for my dear husband. He’s in a band called Coaster Thieves, and they’ve JUST dropped their second CD, New Horizons (available on just a couple of websites at this time, but it will soon be made available). If you want to check them out/show your love, you can find them on Facebook […]

Recap of Gargoyles
Okay, we just got back from Gargoyles. It was a pretty good time….we did have some weird service, including a server who took our order and then left for the night and a mix-up with Marc’s appetizer. But otherwise, the ambiance was nice and the food was generally pretty solid. Now onto the battle…. (Marc […]

Restaurant Week Challenge
Marc and I love food. If you know us, you know this. Well, lucky for us, it’s Restaurant Week in Boston and the surrounding areas. (Restaurants that participate set up a fixed-price menu, with a few options from their regular menu. It’s three courses for about $33 per person). We’ve got reservations at Gargoyles in […]

The Good Wife
I just finished Stewart O’Nan’s novel, The Good Wife, which we are discussing for March’s book club. I haven’t read any of Stewart O’Nan’s novels, but he’s quite prolific, and very well regarded. The Good Wife begins with a crime. Tommy Dickerson and his friend Gary commit an arson and a murder — though we […]

Ay yay yay…U2
U2 is playing a show about a mile from our house at the Somerville Theater. It’s absolutely crazy, because it’s a TEENY TINY venue — at least as far as U2’s concerned, only about 900 seats, though probably less. Marc and I have seen a few small names there — Mike Doughty (love) and Duncan […]

Take me to my happy place
I love winter, probably more than most, but I’m freakin’ DONE. I’m ready for it to be spring and somewhat warm, and for there to be no snow. Rain is fine, just no more snow. PLEASE. I don’t think my brain can handle it anymore. And the bottoms of my jeans are completely wrecked. I’m […]
