Our date to H&M...

Ahh.... H&M. We never blog about senseless things such as this, but today we will. Even Beth Moore blogs about clothes, so if she can, I can.

One of the best things about Boston. Cheap clothes. Better than the clothes that you'd get on that kind of a budget at Target in the south.

Sometimes I go there and see one or two cute things, but other times...watch out world and my bank account. Things get dangerous fast. Today, was one of those times. It was a good thing Jeremy was along.

We went to spend some Easter money that we gotten from my mom for an Easter outfit. It was a tradition growing up in my family, but there really is no need for an Easter outfit here in New England. Unless I was planning on a new pair of jeans or something.

Anyhow, I'm excited to share with the women readers that I found shorts! I haven't bought shorts since high school (seriously) because they are always too short! I was so excited that I bought two pair (I came out with the 2 shorts and a dress shirt for $42). They are nice too...like a Dockers type material and they roll down for a short pedal pant (above knee) or roll up for a decent length short.

But, the best part of the trip is what struck me as odd about Jeremy's changing style. He's so cute. I went over to the men's section because he wanted my opinion...about LINEN dress pants and a LINEN dress shirt. I was shocked. Sorry to say that the linen pant didn't make the cut for him after he tried them on as he said he liked the look a lot but that they were too "flowy" for his taste... and a bit short for mine. He did come home with the linen shirt. Too funny.

That's all, we finished out our date with a trip to Trader Joe's, a stop by Starbucks and walked by a man peeing on a wall. A complete night. ;0).

You know you live in Boston when....

Today was one of those days that even if you couldn't see, you would know that you are living in Boston... it was Opening Day for the Red Sox.

So, the season opening game was in Japan and was live on TV at 6:05 AM. On my way to work, the bus driver had brought a boom box onto the bus and had the game turned up, and then at work, the game was on at the nurse's stations and many of the residents were in a common room with the game on a big screen TV.

Oh, and then on the news tonight, I heard that many of the bars around Fenway where people normally watch the games opened early....serving coffee and breakfast instead of beer. Oh, Boston.

Opening Day in Boston is in a few weeks.

A popular location for the firetrucks...

And yes, it appears that this is our apartment building!

This past week we were visited by the fire department on an alarm call for the second time since moving into our building. The first was during Jeremy's unemployment in late October when someone in the building had a fire on their stove. Luckily, Jeremy was home and was able to take out the dogs.

This past time, a carbon monoxide alarm went off on the first floor, the fire department arrived and the apartment was locked (no one evacuted... we all just stood out in the stairwell as if we are deconditioned to alarms) so they got to use their cool tools to break into the apartment.

In addition, for your entertainment, I thought I'd include what we think is a GREAT Boston commercial. I like when he says "Watch yah bumpah!" at the end. No one watches out for anyone's car bumper here.



And yes, people, trashcans, lawn chairs, etc... really are fair ways to mark your parking spot...oh, Boston, how we love thee.... :o)

Heaven, a beautiful week, and the dogs.

Ahh..... so I've been feeling quite starved of good Mexican food recently. This past weekend, I had had more of a drought than I could handle so we made the pilgrimage to heaven... or On the Border. Here is my post-dinner seal of approval:
And... this week has been beautiful. It has been a glimpse at the end of the winter tunnel. I had the windows open yesterday to air out the house (it was close to 60), and went and got my hair cut AGAIN (even shorter)!! Today, it is cooler but still sunny. All of the snow is finally gone!! I went to lunch with my friend Kristin today and couldn't find even the smallest bit of snow, no matter how hard I tried... how exciting!! The dogs are even enjoying the sun. Apparently, Billy has found a new place to sun himself:
Sorry about all my exclamation points in this post... I'm feeling a bit jittery and quite hyper.
