Baseball, Fun, Life, Love, New England Sports, Really?

Reading up a storm.

Waiting for my replacement to start in my old job so I can finally, finally fully transition over to my new job. (More on this later, I know you are all DYING to know about it! ;))

Totally hooked on the show Blacklist. And, hooked, is slightly an understatement. Can.Not.Get.Enough.

Needing some new clothes.

Wishing I could navigate certain relationships in my life a bit better. People can be so confusing sometimes. Not sure it should be so hard, which might be the answer to be honest.

Nursing a sore body. Went to the gym for the first time in what feels like forever last night. Felt so good to be there that I might have overdone it a teeny tiny bit. Especially since I think I did something weird to my back last week. Whoops! Must be more careful in the future, or just try to get there more often. That might solve this issue as well.

Shamelessly listening to these songs. I spend an embarrassing amount of time wondering what song I would walk up to, so this seems like a fitting music choice today in anticipation for game 6 of the World Series! On that note…

Feeling ridiculously excited that the Red Sox have the chance to win the World Series tonight. Thrilled beyond belief that it could be here in Boston!

Willing to finally admit that I have become a full blown Red Sox fan, which I suppose means that I have become a baseball fan in general (never, never thought that would happen!). It has been a gradual acceptance over the last 4 ish years. Hard not to get swept up in it all, especially living here. The history, the lore, Fenway, oh Fenway, that deserves its own post I feel.

Pounding my 3rd cup of coffee this morning. Looks like it is going to be one of those days.

Obsessed with my new stress ball. Perhaps that is an indicator of how life has been lately?

Jealous of someone for a trip they are taking to Seattle this week. And at the same time, hating the fact that I have to be jealous of this particular person. #iammature

Pumped, like always, for the Timberfakes show this weekend! Love, love that one of my favorites kills it on the keys for them and I get to brag about him to everyone I know.

Shocked that November 1 is on Friday. Where does the time go?

Not really enjoying the fact that I have had to put on gloves the last couple of mornings! Getting chilly out there. Seems a touch early, but it is also supposed to be high 60’s on Friday. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised at all, this is New England weather we are talking about here.

Reflecting a lot these days. It is that time of the year for me I suppose, so this isn’t surprising.

Happy to be back and writing on this lovely little blog of mine!

xoxo,

No Plans?

Fun, Life, New England Sports

Happy Monday/Tuesday y’all!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Overall, I know I did.

In short :

• Going away party on Friday for an old co-worker who is moving on to new challenges! YAY! Spent more time in the downstairs bar of my old work on Friday then I ever did when I actually worked there.
• Had a very interesting discussion re. Puerto Rico with my cab driver Eduardo.
• M and J Bonanza of Harvard Day Drinking followed by a little Newtowne time with L and her sister
• Errands in the city
• Drinks with my buddy who just graduated from Harvard Law!
• Drinks and tapas with one of my most favorites who is moving back to CA
• Fenway to witness a win with a fun group of friends
• Island Creek Oyster with same fun group of friends

Phew! I am exhausted for having no plans scheduled this weekend! I need a weekend from my weekend. Sadly, it won’t be this weekend – we are in mayjah countdown for NOLA!

And now…back to Spice Girls on the old Pandora!

So, maybe I am in the minority still using Pandora, but I just love it for some reason. Except for when I run out of skips. I feel like this when that happens…

Why Pandora?!?!

Have a fabulous Thursday…I know I will – especially since I just got my first set of Red Sox tickets for the season…who cares that they look like shit so far! I mean isn’t the whole point of going to stare at Jacoby Ellsbury anyway? 😉

Weather…

So we finally got a tiny bit of snow here. And I guess by snow, I mean it snowed for a few hours lightly and then it turned into a totally disgusting rain and snow mix. So gross.

While it was actually snowing, it was pretty to see, but I have to admit I am kind of over it. I just feel like the moment I wanted snow has passed me by. I don’t want to see it anymore. I am ready for Spring and all of the wonderful things that entails. It could have a little something to do with my mood as of late, but I am ready for a little warmth, some gorgeous flowers, wearing sunglasses all of the time (who I am kidding, I guess I do that anyway…) and signs of new life.

Of course, with Spring, Summer is soon to follow! Which, let’s be honest, there are a million things to look forward to with that coming. To chase the gray skies and ice drops away today, I am going to make a list of things to look forward to.

• Cape Trips (no seriously, I know I said that last year, but I have at least 2 in the works)
• Nantucket
• Red Sox games (now that Jeff lives here I most surely can force him to go to games with me!)
• Sangria Party
• My Bobsey twin visit
• Potential Seattle visit
• 6 month mark to my 30th birthday – trying to figure out a special way to celebrate the last 6 months of my 20’s
• New Orleans
• The humidity…oh wait.
• Some color on my currently vampire hued skin (guess it goes with my scary eye!)
• Watermelon
• Berries
• Sangria Party (so nice it should be mentioned twice!)
• Bike rides with Pam (yes that’s right, I think I want to purchase a bike)
• Softball
• 4th of July!!!

Ok, this list could go on and on, but I just got really excited. Hurry up Summer! I am waiting for you…

Even on a cloudy day the sun is shining somewhere!

Uh oh…

Dare I say it might be true…I might have crossed over to the dark side officially and become a Red Sox fan. Does this mean I have become a baseball fan as well?

Was excited to hear about the two big players they picked up recently. Even did a little research, but this, THIS is what made me truly wonder if I have become a mayjah fan…

Read this. Loved it. Laughed about it. Wished it to be true.

Red Sox – The New Evil?
