this looks cute

weekend

Scott and I went Christmas shopping this weekend - clearly he is interested in the personal digital video glasses. 

this year - they put a tree in Faneuil Hall, in addition to the one in Boston Common. Not quite sure what the Coca Cola truck was doing.

So tough to take a good picture on your own. . and maybe Scott could have told me my hat was a bit high! (I think I sort of look like a Conehead)

Walking back to the Cambridge mall - we saw this pot hole which goes down to the old school bridge - sadly covered up with asphalt.

Well, that's one way to get your tree home!

Happy Holidays!

Yes, that is a Santa hat on top of my tree. Johanna and I got a tree on Wednesday, and realized we didn't have a star, or angel. I figured the hat was good enough as a topper!

YUM

Success!! Using my mom's/grandma's trusted recipe, I made an apple pie Friday night. Scott gave it two thumbs up, and had some for breakfast Saturday. I think the apples could have been cooked more - some were a little bit crispy! oh well still delicious!

Congrats Dad! (a bit late)

My dad won! He is on the Planning and Zoning board for Milford. Here are some pics from the inauguration:

The King (of Boston)

I saw this driving on 93 a few weeks ago - and yes, the guy driving was dressed like Elvis!

5 miles is long. and tiring. and I'm slow. Oh well. I finished, which is all that matters. 

I wasn't last, and didn't puke at the end. Also - I'm not in as much pain as I thought I'd be in. I've decided though to only do 5k's only! 

Congrats Scott for doing it in 47 min.
Now, onto a 5k 12/12. same place. Who wants to come laugh at me run slow? 

I don't even really like cats but -

this makes me want one.

this is scary

I'm really glad people are informed, and willing to support someone they know NOTHING about. Yikes.

5:55 - 'we need to get the polar bears off the endangered list so we can drill there' Where do you want to put them when you destroy their environment?
7:45 - do you think there is a problem voting for her if you don't know what her foreign policies are? 'No, I don't think that is a problem'

Nothing beats Mitch Miller's version

Sorry Bob.




MITCH!

hmm

not sure exactly why - but ... Michael Rapaport is one of my fave actors. random. I think I mostly enjoy his quirky behavior and humor.

Congratulations!!!

seems that

I cannot listen to "Tiny Dancer" without thinking of those old school ballerina jewelry boxes, and Almost Famous. 

p.s.  I had one of those jewelry boxes and the sides were holograms. I would scratch the sides with my nail bc I liked the sound. crazy kid.

new find

I cannot stop reading this blog. 

I love the random pictures, and fabulous music links. Also- I had no idea someone could be so in love with unicorns. 

please explain to me -

How come the key pad on a calculator is NOT the same as on a phone? 

Do you know how many times I mess up numbers on a calculator because of this?? 

 

why

would you have a pop up blocker on an intranet program that requires boxes to pop up?

kind of cool, kind of scary!

Nighttime footage of the Manhattan Bridge shows the extent to which it sways and bends under traffic and subway cars.

defeating the purpose maybe?

I got a new pack of Post It's at work recently, and they have all the usual colors, pink, orange, green, blue. . and white? I'm not 100% a white Post It is as effective, since doesn't so much stand out on the paper. maybe I'm crazy. 

dream time

the latest gem is a huge cluster of what in the world is going on in my head. 

I had a dream last night that I was in a room - think conference room or meeting room in a hotel - with a bunch of people. Some I knew from college, but am not close to and haven't talked in forever. We had worked to put together some event and a brochure. When the brochure was done we each got a copy in an envelope. Mine had a note in it that said, Thanks so much ! - CW.  I look up and "CW" is wearing a green SUBWAY polo. He said, thanks so much for getting that picture I liked in there! Then, people were posing for pictures on a giant slide, and stacking themselves in pyramids for photos.
