WARNING...THIS IS NOT A TEST

If you live in the Boston Area, get outside. Feel the sun shining down on you. Smell the tulips and hyacinths around you. Look up to see a gorgeous blue sky. This is real folks, it is a top ten day out there. Offer to bring the mail out and take a twenty minute walk, you MUST go outside today! We've waited long enough.

Show Em If You Got Em!

As the countdown continues to the Uberfabulous Sunfest Sale, over at Stephen Bonanno Sandals, I say post your sandals, if you dare! It actually helps those of us who cannot decide what to get. I admit it, I am a copy cat. The interactive color chart has me spinning at this point! I know I want the Emma Classic Monogram with Emerald and Pomme whipstitch. I am considering getting a pair of Palm Beach Classic. I also want to get Miss Madigan her very own pair. She wears lots of pink so Linaria is the only way to go for her, or is it? These here are Bellflower w/Skye and the well worn pair is Linaria with White. You can clearly see how much I love these babies!

HI Everyone, I just wanted to take a moment and say Thank You to those who stop by and read my ramblings. Blogging is an absolute addiction! I enjoy all of you and I have corresponded with some amazing people out there, none of whom I have actually met. It has been a great way to entertain myself during those down times at work. Please let me know if you want me to add you to my blogroll and I can spread the word about you! Have a great day!

Fine Dining

Last night, we dined at L'Espalier in Boston. I love this restaurant for two reasons. First, is the ambiance. It is situated in a townhoue in Boston's Back Bay on the corner of Newbury and Gloucester Streets. It has distinct dining rooms in different parts of the townhouse. Last night we ate in the library on the second floor. The architecture in the room is original to its 1880 roots. It is very comfortable and romantic.

Second, the food is amazing. The restaurant has an incredible array of original dishes to choose from. The chef chooses the right ingredients to marry into mouth watering offerings. Last night I had a beef loin that sat on a bed of risotto with green onions. Delish! The Doc feasted on halibut and he gave it five stars.

I highly recommend L'Espalier for those of you who may be looking for a great spot to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or just a night out away from the kids!

Figure This Out!

Holy Cow, what a historical weekend at Fenway Park! The Yankess came to town and subsequently left with their gloves bewteen their legs. Each game was incredible! Friday was drama at its best. Rallying is such a great way to win. Saturday was awesome too, and Sunday was the pinnacle of the weekend series. To make it even better, I sat three rows behind home plate. Sorry folks, I forgot my camera, otherwise I would have had some pretty amazing pictures. In the third inning, there was a sight to behold, four consecutive homeruns! Manny Ramirez, JD Drew, Mike Lowell and my personal favorite Jason Varitek clobbered the ball one after the other and Fenway errupted into madness. It was truly an memorable Boston Sports moment. I do realize the Season is young, but if we keep this pace up.........I can't wait for October!

Storming the Big Apple

Just in time for the fabulous weekend forcast enjoy a full day of non stop fun at American Girl Place. Yes, we are off to the Big Apple tomorrow with one of my best friends and her daughter to experience the thrill of a lifetime for all young girls! Imagine shopping for hours in a huge department store filled with clothing and accessories all just waiting to come home with you (no wonder we are all shopaholics by the time we are 25). Madigan doesn't know we are going here. She just knows we are headed off for an adventure with our friends and that we get to stay in a HOTEL!!!! That is enough to make this the best weekend ever. I can't wait to see her face when we hit 5th Avenue! Madigan has carte blanche tomorrow too. She already has the Bitty Twins and a Just Like You doll that does actually look like her. But, I decided to let her pick out a new one tomorrow with some accessories to go with it. Then, we will sit down and have tea with our new friends. Jealous yet? How about if I throw in the fact that my weekend will get even better on Sunday night when I settle in at Fenway Park to see the Red Sox play the Yankees? I thought so!
