After 5 glasses of chardonnay

Even with some extra players, we didn’t far so well at trivia tonight…I am thoroughly frustrated…yet I am proud that my Sex and the City knowledge earned us some points!  

It’s the boy’s birthday..we indulged in some drinks, Guiness cupcakes, and burgers…now time to relax  ; )

See you tomorrow !!

Trivia Tuesday

Successful shopping trip!  Didn’t spend too much…but got the most amazing Martha Stewart deal…Deep Dish Baking Dish…on sale for $7!!  I let myself get the “Naughty & Nice Spatula” as a treat then.

For the second Tuesday in a row, we’ll be participating in trivia down the street…going to try to do better than last week!  Won’t say what place we might have ended up in, not the absolute last place…but not much better  ; )

I made some Guiness Stout Beer cupcakes for the boy’s bday…but accidently poured in 50% extra beer…this should be interesting!  (Recipe courtesy of Martha Stewart Cupcakes book)

PS. Another beautiful fall day in Boston : )

       Went and saw the Blue Man Group last Friday night with the boy…amazing!! Super entertaining and I don’t even know how to explain it!  I’m already eager to go see it again! Fun night doing something different (and dare I say “cultural”) out in Boston!!

                    Can you tell how much I love the Commons in the fall!?

I obviously suck at daily blogging

So it’s already the middle of November and I haven’t blogged since end of October…not to make excuses, but things became super busy, with Halloween (tons of fun as a Beyonce Single Lady) and then my birthday which was absolutely fabulous : )  I feel so lucky and blessed to have such amazingly awesome friends, some who traveled quite some distances to join in on the birthday fun!

But yes, all that craziness left me away from my computer more than usual and made me lazy and left lots of empty space on this blog of mine. I vow not to let this become routine and as I get more into my writing once again, it’s making me want to continue this blog more and more so I promise to make a greater effort in being much more regular with my posts. 

As I said, it was a busy couple fun weeks, but now it’s the middle of November and Boston is still beautiful!  I’m deeply in love with fall and plan on walking around the city a bit today and doing a little shopping…though I’m trying to spend less money, I seem to suck at that as well (any justification, I’m going out to use some Macy’s gift cards on kitchen supplies and a bday gift card at Vickys..lets see if I can just keep to those purchases)!

Following are some pictures form recent weeks and I’ll be back soon : )
