I’m not really sure why, but for some reason, it is already starting to feel like holiday season. I guess maybe because next week is Thanksgiving. I can definitely tell, though. I feel like the whole pulse of the city becomes slightly modified twice a year. It happens once for vacation season, in late summer, … Continue reading Hooray for the weekend→
My aunt made an interesting comment in an article she wrote recently. She stated that, being a child of the 60’s she hadn’t really had the same appreciation and respect for our soldiers, as previous generations had. Obviously the Vietnam war had tainted her point of view on the issue. She went on to say … Continue reading Happy Veteran’s day→
Well…, Friday night, I had to work kind of late, so we didn’t really do anything, except watch American Psycho, when I got home. I was pleased that Reagan was able to go to sleep afterwards, instead of staying awake all night, out of fright (which she normally does when we watch a scary movie). … Continue reading Activities from Halloween weekend→
On the train this morning I saw some kids dressed up like freaks, on their way to school. It made me miss the good old days. In grade school, even though we still had to go to school on Halloween, it was like a freebie day. We never had to do any work. We would … Continue reading Happy Halloween!→
Halloween time means candy. Where I work, many of the secretaries like to get festive with their work areas, during the holidays. Since Halloween is approaching, one need only take a brief lap of the office, to encounter the various candy-laden bowls that have been placed out for the picking. Yesterday, I swiped a tootsie … Continue reading New twist on an old fav.→
October means Halloween season. Here is a picture of our costumes last year. We were 80’s gym rats. Reagan came up with the idea 20 minutes before the party. All in all, I feel like it played out pretty well. Why am I writing about this crap, you ask? Partly because it is October 1, … Continue reading Happy October!→
Despite the partially cloudy weather, Friday and yesterday, we had a superbly good time celebrating independence day with our Boston homies. We arrived at their house late Thursday night, and of course, stayed up late laughing until our lats were sore. Friday we went to a pool party/ barbeque at one of their friends’ houses, … Continue reading Blast in Beantown→
I know that it is getting close to the fourth of July when I hear an increase in the frequency of firecrackers going off at night. Having so many Dominican neighbors, we are used to hearing them pretty much year round. They don’t really need a special occasion to stay up all Monday night pounding … Continue reading Happy July→
Today was the stereotypical Monday. By the time I was getting out of the subway, the B-berry was already buzzing out of the holster. I walked into my office to the phone ringing and 4 voicemails. So awesome. Enough of that crap though. I had a few thoughts, and transactions today that broke me out … Continue reading Blah Monday→
Oh my goodness. It has been such an event filled 2 weeks that I am having a really hard time getting back into the routine of things. We had so much fun while Nate and Melanie were visiting. All of Piper’s birthday activities were a blast too. BTW, here is a post from the Bennions … Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend→
