California Dreamin'

California was great, it was beautiful the entire week and I now have a much needed tan...Yeah! While I was out there the company I work for had as always some fun functions: Casino night (gambling with fake $, which is a good thing when you tend to lose it all) & Bowling night (I thought the lower the score the better;). I also got to shop, eat good Mexican food (which you can't find up here,) see a movie and swim. Can you say exhausted? I am now in need of a vacation. I forgot about all of the Palm Trees and the tropical plants, I absolutely love and miss them. Do you think there is a way to grow them here? Anyways, I came back to Boston and it is very hot and humid, In New England there are 3 types of weather Hot, Cold and Unbearably Cold, there is no day that seems to be in-between. I already miss California and I am dreaming about the Palm Trees in my sleep.

Off to Callie

I am flying out to Callie tomorrow. Unfortunately not a vacation, it is for work. Of course it is nice and warm out here, just when I am leaving for a week. I will be returning on Sunday, so hopefully it will be warm when I get back.

Post Secret

I stumbled onto this site called Post Secret. It is a really interesting site, people send in their secrets on a post card and they get published onto the internet daily. Some are talented, some are depressing and some are just plain hilarious. If you have a moment you should click on over to see them.

Let me know what you think. Maybe you will see a secret from me ;)

Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day. I wish I could spend the day with my step-dad, but I know my family is enjoying warm weather, probably by the pool without me. Hey, thanks JJ for the reminder to call your dad.

New Weather Forecast

I just uploaded the weather forecast for Boston, so that you can see how much colder it is here.

Parents Come To Visit

When you go someplace on vacation, it's like I have to go see this? I have to go see that? At least if you are like me it's one huge checklists. My vacations are always like that, I always need a vacation for my vacation. When I moved to Boston there were so many things that I wanted to see and do, I had imagined doing them all on every single day I was off, like as if I was on vacation. Anyways, on my days off I've been lazy and haven't done much of anything, except eat out, watch movies and be a big couch potato. Then my parents come to visit for a week and we see more in a week then we have in 6 months of living here, pretty sad huh?

Some of the things we did while they were here, which by the way didn't put a dent on the lists of things to do was:
-The oh so famous Duck Tour (It is this land to water vehicle and you actually go into the Charles River.)
-The top of the Pru (what the people here call it, short for the Prudential Center for all of you not from here, which is by the way the tallest building in Boston, such great views and shopping too.)
-Gambling at the Mohegan (I lost money, while everyone else won some)
-Faneuil Hall (it's been here since the 1700's, did I mention everything is old here?)
-The North End (which has great Italian restaurants and for dessert we just had to go to the place that puts your pastrys in these cute little boxes, which you hold by a string called Mike's Pastrys, mmmm, it's like little bites of heaven.)

There are so many great restaurants in Boston, we could almost not decide which ones to take them to. We should probably not know so many of them already. It defintly shows on the waistline, maybe I should skip the pastry shop next time or maybe not!?!

Spring In New England

During the spring it was like January in Florida, 40 degrees during the day and in the 30's at night. This lasted til the last week of May. Then all of a sudden June was here and the temperature shot up to 80's. It was as they say in New England "Wicked Hot". So I thought to myself I won't need a sweater/jacket til the fall, of course, I'm lovin every minute of it. Okay, so it's the middle of June now and I walk out of my house with capris, t-shirt and flip flops on, you know the summer garb. This strong cold wind comes along and pushes me back a step or two and it's freakin cold. I go back in to get a sweater and check the weather report, it's in the 50's again, rainy and dreary. As they say in New England "if you don't like the weather wait 20 minutes, it will change." They are not kidding around. The weather forecasters definitly haven't figured it out and I haven't either. Everyone always tells me the reason they don't like Florida is that there are no seasons, well I'm sorry, why would you want to go through 6 months of cold miserable gloom to get a couple of months of color changing. Then it's miserable all over again before you know it. If were lucky we will get a good couple of months of warmth and sunshine, cross your fingers for me.

The Slap Heard Around The World

This was taken at my birthday party. It's a funny picture and I know she will appreciate it, right? It was one of those birthdays that everyone makes a big deal out of, people state things like this is a mid-life point, you've entered adulthood, your over the hill and you have to be responsible now. Everyone thinks your going to get depressed, cry or just freak out! Well none of those things happened. If anything, this birthday was a coming to terms with myself, being able to accept me for who I am and not worry about disappointing people. Yeah, now I just don't give a fuck! No, I'm not bitter, just content and not trying to impress everyone.

To swim, or not to swim?

It is finally hot enough outside to consider swimming. The pool is clear, the sky is blue and just standing outside for any length of time makes you sweat or for the ladies perspire. So you would think it's finally time to go swimming, well did you get a load of that temperature? That my friend is the temperature of the water, yes 67 degrees. Considering that I used to be cold if it was less than 70 degrees outside and 88 degrees in the water, I wouldn't have even thought of jumping in the pool without a wet suit. Well today it was so hot putting my new patio furniture and grill together that I jumped right in, no hesitation. The thing that strikes me most is that I didn't jump right out, I enjoyed it for a little bit and swam around. I think I am adapting to this climate and the biggest question is... Will I ever be able to move back home and stand the heat that I used to love?

First Time

This is my first official posting, I never thought that I would do or be apart of something like this. I am however so intrigued by this whole world of Blogging, that I couldn't resist. I had no idea it even existed or that so many people were a part of it til the other day.
