Blogger app

Well this is the first time I'm trying out the blogger APP, normally I use blogpress. 

I suppose I will post about finally going to brimfield. After years of wanting to check it out, I decided on the last weekend that I would go. 

I woke up really early and got ready, I let mike sleep until I was pretty much ready to go. Well to say it was overwhelming would be an understatement. I should have probably wore my knee braces, there was so much to see. I don't even know if we saw half of it. I did end up picking up something though!

This little guy is SO heavy.

Then we checked out American lanes in southbridge.

I bowled pretty well there! It was cheap and fun, I'd go back.

August part 2

I tried to do this post twice, but my phone messed up somehow.

Once coming home from Philly settled, it was time for Joanna and Shane to visit for their anniversary. After picking them up from the bus we grabbed breakfast at cabots. They got to check in early, which was great, off to marshfield we went.













































The fair is always great, I can't wait until topsfield next month.

















The next day we went bowling and walked around castle island, it was so nice outside.








The next weekend was super jam packed for Saturday. I woke up early to head to my cousin Lisa's bridal shower. It was really great to see them and to get excited about the wedding this month. I finally found a maxi dress that was short enough for me. I was posted up with aunt sue for most of it.
After that I headed back into the city to see Caitlin and Ellie for a bit.




Having ice cream brings everyone together!

Once they were back on the road mike Garvey and I headed for food and sheer terror.






Heres a couple of awful pictures I took. I got to hang out with a bunch of people so that was great. I wish they would play all of my favorite songs though.

The next morning was not so fun moving mike.


In the last weekend of August I managed to get tattooed by Franz again!



I don't really take pictures of anything so here's this one I stole from him.


Hello September

Slow week

Well there hasn't been a ton to write about lately. The weather has been rough and it's tough to think when the last time it's been this rainy. I have a few pictures from the last 3 weeks or so, since that's about the last time I posted here. I've posted in my other blog, but that's exclusively candlepin stuff.

Here is the burger I got from shake shack, I was very excited to open it up and the pickles were Mickey Mouse!


A couple of weekends ago Garvey, mike and I checked out Windy City eats in weymouth. I've been meaning to check this place out forever. The food was great. I got a corn dog and chili cheese fries. Garvey got a sausage and regular fries. Mike got a chili cheese hot dog, spicy corn dog and chili cheese fries. We all tried different stuff and it was great across the board. I can't wait to go back!


This is frustrating, I have this video on my phone. I hate when you are set up perfectly for a spare and then you blow it, but then pick up the 10 right after. UGH COME ONNNNN

Mike and I at Dairy Queen. Chocolate with cherry dip forever!


Julia made key lime ice cream


There was a big crew of us helping Caitlin and Dave move. After moving boxes I moved over to Elinor duty once she woke up! I think I got a better work out thank moving, Ellie is nonstop!!! We went up and down 5 flights of stairs and ran up and down every hallway, going up and down the elevator when I was dying haha.

Eventful Saturday

Usually my weekends are spent at Mike's, but with Mike and Garvey going to Maine on Saturday I was staying put in Stoughton. I woke up early and while I was laying around I decided I would go to the farmers markets. After running to the bank quickly I first went to the one in the parking lot of the Stoughton train station. The weather was still rather crappy at 9:45 and there wasn't a ton of venders. I picked up 2 zucchinis from Langwater farm.
My uncle wanted to bet on the Belmont Stakes so we headed to the dog track quickly to do that.



Needless to say that since greyhound racing stopped, this place has fallen hard.

On the way back on 138 we stopped at the Simpson Springs farmers market in Easton.



They are a soda/water company and this one was awesome. It's actually inside and that was nice. I picked up some salty feta cheese from Narragansett Creamery, blueberry bread from Proofed and a 6 pack of sodas from Simpson Springs. They have so many kinds and you get to make your own mixed pack. I got raspberry lime Rickey, fruit punch and lemon lime sodas.
Then lastly I went to the one at Crescent Ridge. I picked up some black lava sea salt caramels from McCrea's Candies.





After laying around for a while I eventually got out and met up with Amber.
We met up at shake shack



Gimme all of the burgers










After walking around Legacy Place in Dedham we went to Ron's in Hyde Park. I bowled in the 90s so that was good. Sadly I didn't partake in any ice cream, I was just too tired at that point. I was like 10:30.

New to me alley : Central Lanes in East Boston

Well Garvey and I have been talking about checking this place out forever. After an acquired living social deal for blackstrap BBQ in Winthrop we decided it was time to finally go.
We called and there was a busy signal so we decided to drive by on the way back. The place was dark and the locals were hanging inside, we were the only ones bowling for a while, but it was a super cool place.

















Well all of a sudden music was blaring on the touch tunes and I honestly felt like I was in an 80s movie (aka my dream).

The pins had pretty good action and they were reasonably priced. Soon a couple came in and the sounds of pins flying were pretty loud. After 3 strings we decided to head out. I bowled my best game in a while with a 106.






I'm very up and down when I bowl. Dumb pain and being tired.


Hopefully we will be back in the future!

Sitting around at home

Well the past few days have been pretty rainy and gross. Last night I made Pete dinner and we didn't do anything exciting, but tonight we are going to go out to eat and bowl. We have been bowling a lot lately (Garvey too) and we are really trying to raise our averages. At Westgate lanes during the week if you bowl after 9 its half price so we usually do that during the week.

This weekend is going to be very fun! Friday night I'm heading to Providence for this show:


I get to see Mitch again, his band is Sacred Love. I'm so excited that I get to hang out with him :) Last time that they played here I wasn't home.

Saturday I'm taking an early bus to NYC so I can see Killing time & Suburban Scum.


I get to hang out with Becky all day so I'm so excited. I haven't seen her since August and it wasn't for very long :(
I'm taking a really late bus back home and then Sunday Pete and I are going to go see Martha Marcy May Marlene! I'm not a huge movie person, but I want to see this one.
