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.

Weekend catch up and Mad men thoughts

Well Friday night the rain held out and my game happened. We won, but sadly I blew out my knees in the 3rd inning. I sat for the rest of the game, but after naproxen and rest I am back to life somehow. After the game we headed to the Cathay Center to hang. I forgot how tired I get on Friday nights and once 11 hit I was really feeling it. I got home a little before 12 and was so happy to go to sleep.

Saturday I was up pretty early and I headed to Lynn to hang with Caitlin, Dave and the beb. We had a pretty great day and I rediscovered Moon Shoes at the Salvation Army near their house. Ellie is the happiest and cutest baby ever, I love hanging out with her. They needed to go food shopping so I tagged along and pushed the cart. The Whole Foods near them has the most samples ever! I love going there with them, because I end up eating so much.
We headed back to their place and waited for Chris to come over. We had a couple of failed attempts at going to the beach, but we ending up finding a cool place to hang out and they took lots of cute pictures of and with Ellie. I even got behind the camera for a bit to snap some cute family photos for them. If Caitlin posts any I'll link you over to there so you can see them.
It was getting late to we headed back to Lynn and ate and hung out until bed time. It ending up being a sleep over.

Sunday we hung out for a bit and then we headed to SOWA to visit Roxy's Grilled Cheese. It was really warm out so SOWA was super busy and packed. We walked around and said hi to Sam at the truck and we also saw Zac. I ended up getting a piggy bank really cheap at the vintage market indoors there.
We headed back to the truck to get our lunch and it was delish as usual. Getting to see Mike and James was nice too!
I headed home after eating and then I gathered my Mothers Day items. My Mom wanted a cupcake and scratch tickets. I also surprised her with a Roxy's shirt, she was so excited. She also won a few bucks on the tickets I got her so it was a win win!
Well then it turned into night time and I watched my shows, Army Wives and Mad men. I don't really talk about Army Wives on here, because I know no one really cares. It was a good episode though and probably one of my favorites so far this season. I've been watching it since the beginning so I'm committed.

Mad Men thoughts:
It seems that with Megan leaving the company that Don finally steps up to get work done. Even though you can tell he is threatened by Ginsbergs ideas he still knows they are good. Hopefully he will step back up to be great at work like he used to.
Leaving Ginsbergs idea in the cab forced Don to sell that idea and make him feel better.
I didn't have too much thoughts on Megan and her friend running lines. Megan has to realize that since she married into money that her struggling friends would think of her differently.
I hate Jane and I always have. I'm always just so annoyed with her gold digging ways, I don't care if her and Roger actually liked eachother at one point. WAH the rich apartment I'm in reminds me of you so buy me a new one. WAH the new apartment you just got me now reminds me of you wah wah wah. Cry me a river spoiled brat.
I'm surprised that Peggy reacted the way she did when she found out Roger wanted Ginsberg to work on the wine campain. She should know more than anyone that it is every man for themself and she has fought hard enough.
If Betty HAS to be in the show I'm glad that the reason for being fat is because she hates Don. When she ran up to get the kids and seeing Megan change, she was so jealous of her being thin and pretty. The redi whip scene was so good and funny, I love how much of a failure that she is, I really dislike her. I was really intrigued to see that weight watchers meetings have been around that long and that she was getting this BS motivation yapping from it.
The family tree thing was so great and horrible at the same time. To see Betty poisioning Sally and then Sally becoming just like her Mother, a rotten bitch out to hurt Don and Megan. Megan dealt with the situation the best she could I believe, but Don handled it great. Then Sally throwing it back in Betty's face as if it was no big deal at all was just so awesome. Betty lying to her husband and family at the table during Thanksgiving and then trying to savor that one forkful of stuffing.
SO good

Picture recaps:

First game of the year

Well on Monday I had my first game and it was super chilly out. I forgot how cold it was in April, but all I needed was pants and a sweatshirt and I was all set.
We ending up winning 7-1 and it was so awesome once we hit our stride in the 3rd and 4th inning. I was the lead off batter and I was 4 for 5! My first hit was a double and then I hit singles for the rest of the game. I was playing second and didn't make any errors so that was good, I got a lot of action over there.
We are supposed to have games this Wednesday and Friday so hopefully they don't get rained out, I hate making up games.
Here are a few pictures of the game that Rick took.








Oh and my computer is finally back and working. My battery was so dead that it expanded so my mouse wouldn't work. At least it was a fairly easy fix, just on the pricey side. At least now that its working I can do my tee till death posting again and I can read all of the celebrity gossip that my heart desires.


Here are some of my recent tee till death posts!

Hello again

Well I've been missing for quite a while. I started a new medicine for my fibromyalgia a little over a week ago and its really kicking my ass. I haven't been able to do much so this update won't be very long either.
Here are the tattoos I got done in the beginning of the month in NYC.

done by Mike Adams


these little guys were done by Marina Inoue






Caitlin finally had little Ellie last Thursday and I've got to see her twice now. Shes so cute and perfect, I love her!

Baby shower!

Sunday was Caitlin's baby shower and it was a lot of fun!
I stole these pictures from her blog, Dave took some pictures during the party.

Pete and I picked up Garvey and we headed over to Lynn. We got there early and started to set up and get all of the food out.

Caitlin and I hard at work.... Pete is on the couch reading ;)


Some pictures of the food
I made the cupcakes, Caitlin made some awesome vegan bruschetta and a vegan fruit dip, Dave made his "famous" guacamole. If you look at the apples you can see how nicely Garvey cut and arranged them.





It was a great group of about 10 people and Dorie was there too! She played lots of games with us and she helped Caitlin open her gifts.
Caitlin got a ton of great gifts and it was so exciting to see all of them.

Baby shower on the brain

For the past few weeks I've had Caitlin's baby shower planning. I tried to make cupcakes a week or so ago and that was questionable, but I have faith that it will go better for the final product haha. Its finally all falling into place and its happening this upcoming Sunday.
