Valentines day chatter

Well Valentines day is usually on a work day and I think every year the two ladies I work with get roses delivered for them in the office. Now I'm always a little jealous, but then I think.... why would I want roses? I don't really care about taking care of them, and I'm not crazy about the smell of flowers. I love how flowers look though.
Then I was thinking....if I ever got something this is what I would want instead of flowers.

S'mores bouquet (who would want flowers when you can have marshmallow goodness?!)



Sweet Lydias makes these and they are a local Massachusetts company

cookie cakes are always cute and so many places do them



This one happens to be made by cookies by design


There is a local cupcake place near me called Treat, I talk about them a bunch. On Facebook I saw they were doing Valentine cupcakes. Those would be cute too!



Well there ya go, my idea of cute ideas that arnt flowers.

The past week (Image heavy)

Last Friday my mom came home from Newport, RI. She brought me home a cupcake from Cupcake Charlies and I was excited to try it, because I have heard so much about their treats. I had an Oreo one and it was OKAY. I felt there was way too much frosting on the cupcake and then there was a filling, so I give it a 5.
Saturday morning my mom dropped off Garvey and I at South Station and I headed over to the bus station for my bus to NYC. The Megabus with the mega rude people! I got to NYC and Becky met up with me and we walked around a lot. When we were in Chelsea Market I saw Ted Allen!
We went to Hill Country BBQ for late lunch/early dinner and I got brisket w/ mac & cheese and corn bread. It was REALLY good and I could eat that mac & cheese forever. They only used cheddar and it was perfectly sharp and they burnt it on top just a bit. I love when mac & cheese is simple and not overwhelmed with a ton of cheeses. Becky is vegetarian, she got sweet potatoes and the mac & cheese. She also got a Big Red soda, but we will overlook that, hahaha.
After that we headed towards the show (we were going to see Killing Time and Suburban Scum at the Gramercy Theater) we made a few stops along the way to look at some stores.
I was able to take a couple pictures of Killing Time with my phone, but where I was standing on the side of the stage was kind of a weird angle. I didn't like the venue at all though. Hardcore shows shouldn't have a barricade, there was pretty much no lights on at all, weird movie seats in the back.
After the show I walked back to the Megabus terminal and waited for my bus. I was lucky enough to get a table seat and no one next to me! Yipee!
Pete picked me up at 6am when I got back in (what a sweetie!).

Thanksgiving night Garvey, Pete, and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings. The Best Buy line was next to us through the window and it was wild. My mom and Brenda actually stood in line at Walmart and now we have a working tv!

Time to get some stuff done and get ready for my shows tonight!

treats

Sunday night garvey, Stef, and I went to the Melting pot.




We got our usual s'mores fondue, but we also tried the new chocolate, caramel, salt fondue.... OH MY GOD. It was one of the best things I've ever eaten. I hope that it stays on the menu, or at least they keep the salt so we can put it in a future one.

Monday night I drove up to Treat on a quick whim. I did a make your own cupcake and I picked up my mom & Pete a cupcake.

It's almost Friday!

Well I'm still alive.
My softball team has been doing good and we are finally doing better at 5-4.
Saturday morning me and Garvey went to the opening of the new buffalo wild wings in danvers. We got there around 6 and I didn't sleep.






I was totally in the 20s or 30s, but so many people cut line!






All that matters is that we were in the first 100.
We walked around a bit after and headed back to garveys for weird on and off naps and freeze pops



My three favorite flavors together! What luck!
Then we headed off for 80s night at Boston bowl.
2 dollar strings and 80 cent food/sodas! Yes please!



I took a secret action shot.

Then we stopped at mikes for a bit, but I needed sleep.

Sunday me and my mom got cupcakes at treat



Orange frosting mmmm!

The next day I got another cupcake at ivys.
My sweet teeth



They jipped me though with no cream in the middle.

Tuesday me and erick went bowling at olindys in Quincy. We bowled okay, the pins didn't have a lot of action.



Slush puppies!

We got dinner at la Paloma



And dessert at the dairy freeze






Mine was really good! I love orange flavor. Rainbow sprinkles are a must for any ice cream.
After the ice cream I was super sleepy though. Long night!

Yesterday after work I made a bracelet for heather, but I dropped it outside :( I headed out to Worcester and ate at Shiraz with heather. I got lehmejune and lamb kabob with Armenian pilaf. MMMMMM it was so good.






I only ate half so I could save the rest for lunch :D
After gossiping and eating we headed next door. We had to watch not funny comedians. Ugh it was so boring and miserable. Then our friend dan played acoustic guitar. He covered the cars!
I stayed out way past my bedtime and I'm so sleepy at work right now.

Weekend

This weekend was pretty good.
Friday night we lost our softball game so I won't touch base on that.

Saturday I was pretty lazy and did nothing until I hung out with mark. We got cupcakes at treat in needham



I got the tiger cupcake which was orange & chocolate cake swirled with buttercream and jimmies.
It was so good!!!



Mark got a red velvet one. Treat makes my favorite red velvet.

We went bowling In Norwood. I bowled okay, at least I got a 108 my second game.



Exciting action shot



Marks big shoes

I liked the alley a lot! I've never been there before and it was pretty cheap and awesome.


The next day we got salt bagels at cafe & fresh bagel. They were so good and we got the last two.




Later that day I went to a belly dancing show in Cranston, RI.



It was an awesome show!



A print a got! Elisabeth Clark had a table set up!

Then I went home
