Oh, Hey, Here I Am

Whoa. Holy crap. Totally forgot I had a blog. Except, no I didn't, because I see my ghetto blogger icon in my bookmarks bar daily when I go to OTHER people's blogs and regularly updated sites with actual, funny or meaningful content.

It goes south so fast! Wow.

November I was slammed at work. December PLS moved in (all the way from Dallas...everyone thinks this is "getting serious" or something...shhhhhnotlisteningnotlistening). And for the last month I've obviously been busy playing house so the only thing I could do with my laptop was search for pot roast recipes.

I kid. We've been outside a lot, walking around Boston on the weekends (PS, I still live in Boston, 7 months on Dec. 30th. Crazy.) Also, PPS, THERE'S NO SNOW. It's the end of December and I'm starting to feel ripped off, kind of like how I moved here without knowing about that whole "no happy hour" thing (yes I am still talking about that thank you). I want to make hot spiced cider but I have a hard time justifying the indoor day drinking on a perfectly good, albeit cold, Saturday afternoon.

I've just been in a funk, but hey, it's resolution season so things are going to change. I've been wanting to sign up for improv class for oh, about the last two years, and I finally decided to do it yesterday. I think up ideas and present them for a living but hey, I could really get better at it, and oh, also, there was a groupon for this class. Fact: you can't say no to a grouponed anything.

Now that PLS is living with me, I have no excuse not to go explore Boston more, and since he's one of the few loyal readers, he'll make sure I update this with some of the stories. Recent adventures have included a day spent walking to Brookline, over to Jamaica Plain and back through Mission Hill to the Fens, eating and drinking here and there. We went to the MFA and saw this Eames film and got our artsy architecture snob on with a couple friends. And finally, we tried and failed miserably to make a gingerbread house inspired by some modern abstract blah blah blah. Nope. Total fail. I hope this does not go against him while looking for a job.

The model:

And then, this is where we stopped taking pictures. The whole "putting it together" part was a whole lot of fugly. But it was delicious. And I had my yearly intake of powdered sugar.

It looks like it's supposed to snow on Saturday. It's not that I haven't seen snow before, it's just that I'd feel a lot better about missing friends in Dallas or SF if I could start my novelty Boston winter soon. Come on, climate change. Blizzard already.
