Happy Birthday


Today is my sister's birthday, Happy Birthday Susie! I hope you have a wonderful day! We will be celebrating tomorrow by having lunch at one of my favorite places, The Bristol Lounge at The Four Season's Hotel in Boston. They have the most incredible cheeseburger! Before lunch, we are going to try and catch an early viewing of "The Other Boleyn Girl". If you have not yet read the book, you must especially if you like anything to do with the English monarchy. It is a big book but an easy read.
Not much else going on around here. We had some unexpected snow last night and are awaiting another ministorm tomorrow night. That should make for some fun this weekend for the kids. Madigan has a birthday party to go to on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, we are going to have dinner with the Doc's family. Anyone need any grape leaves? His aunt makes great ones! Madigan even eats them which is a total shock because she is a very fussy eater. If our timing is right, I may be able to swing in to the Wrentham Outlets on our way there for some Spring stuff!

Have a great day with your sis (I have a sister Suzie--aren't they the best?). The Four Seasons has such a lovely brunch as well. I remember walking past and looking in the window from the sidewalk at all those fancy people eating in there when I was trying to live on $12K a year a couple of decades ago. Sort of a Little Matchgirl momment, you know? But I eventually had my brunch there and probably enjoyed it more than anyone. Give a little wave to those hungry broke people through the window, ok?

Let us know what you think of the movie and if it's worth it to read the book before and catch the movie on dvd.

beautiful flowers! I am reading this book now and because the book is 650 pages and I m super slow reader - it might be next week before I get to see this movie and I can't wait!!!

Outlet shopping? Cheeseburgers? A movie? I'll be right over :) Ok that all sounds heavenly. I'm jealous.

Will you post a review of The Other Boleyn Girl? It is on my Netflix list and I adore Scarlett.

I LOVE the Bristol Lounge. I may have told you that before though....
I go every year the day after Christmas for tea with two wonderful friends from high school. We think we just celebrated our 20th! (yikes) I also went with my dh on our anniversary to the dessert bar. SO GOOD!!! (ooh, just thinking about the chocolate fountain makes me want to go back!!) Hope you had a great time! :)
