Things I Learned On My Summer Vacation

1. When thinking about taking a 16 month old across county on a plane why don’t you just stab your eye out with a fork, it will be less painful.

2. Humidity is an evil vile thing that one does not have to suffer from. You hear that New England?

3. Fenway installed more restrooms for the ladies. No longer need to miss three and a half innings when all those consumed beers make it known.

4. What the hell happened to Lansdowne Street? The Cask and Flagon no longer a dive bar and some place called “Game On”? Tainted, I say. Tainted.

5. Crane’s Beach is entirely too gorgeous.

6. If you want to see utter glee on your 3.5 year old son's face, take him to Water Country. Never has a kid been so happy as Owen was when in that water park. Insane giddy people.

7. The Dunkin Donuts strong arm on Massachusetts is iron clad (and almost mafia like in its tactics). How many Dunkin Donuts can one state have? I don’t think the people even enjoy the DD, but they have no other choice in the matter.

8. Drinking half of bottle of grey goose on a Friday night in order reclaim your drinking youth is not exactly fun the next morning. But when waking up that morning deciding with still drunk mind and eyes to run five miles is bordering on masochistic.

9. The antipasto appetizer at Massimino’s in the North End made my belly cry out in delight.

10. Although the pull of family and friends is great, I am now a San Francisco girl. I like my summers foggy cold so that my whiskey can gently warm.

She's Back . . .

I am back from vacation. I will be posting a photo blog of the loveliness that occurred, as soon as I down load the photos. You excited bitches? But until then, a few things:

1. There is this homeless man that I pass each and every day on my way to my run. His legs are wrapped in ace bandages; before they were rapped they were really swollen, like elephantitis swelled. Can ace bandages really remedy something like this? I think about this every day.

2. If you are a fan of True Blood, then you know of this vampire named Eric. Let me say that in all of my almost thirty-six years of breathing, never have I have been so enraptured by a blonde man. I am firmly on Team Eric. And also became a fan of his on Facebook, and yes, that sound you hear are the dork police arresting me right now.

3. I am going to be an Aunt (Part Duex) (brother-in-law’s spawn. I have not mentioned my soon to be born nephew in this blog because I don’t like to jinx, but the kid was due 8/10 and still has not arrived. Personally, I feel it is because his parent’s are naming him Floyd, and he is staying in there until they change their minds. That being said:

4. DID I TELL YOU THAT I HAVE TO HAVE SURGERY TO REMOVE AN IUD THAT IS SOMEWHERE IN MY PELVIS IN 25 DAYS? I just want to mention that because I will be walking down the street, or looking at my kids, or watching TV and this pops into my head. However, truth be told, I am really looking forward to the anesthesia. Oh, and the possible pain pills given after, because if they try only motrin, I might just kick someone’s ass.

Vacation

Please let it be know that I will be leaving for the great and wild Chester, California. I will be sure to regale you with tales of the swimming hole and Owen’s rock throwing (which should border on 10,000,000). Also, we are not taking Maggie’s swing. We are so stupid.
