cheers to the weekend!  

today is my friday, heading to see a beautiful friend marry her one and only this weekend in sunny California!  first stop, though, is the happiest place on earth :)

- finally a date night.  Hamilton Inn

- a little birthday surprise message for mr p

- party in the east village

- only way to tolerate my hair after working 12+ hours

 

- I rag on Boston a lot, but I "guess" it does have it's cool spots.

- former whaling capital of the world, (hopefully) future offshore energy hub.

- reasons I come home every weekend... mr p is SO good to me.

- see note above... mama noodles with an egg cracked in the broth

 

- soon-to-be new 'hood' in boston.

- homemade cheesecake with lemon curd and hazelnut crust. best. cheesecake. ever.

- someone made a new friend... may or may not have thought about sneaking the lil furball home with me.

- this tree is probably blooming beautiful blooms right now. I wouldn't know, it's in my backyard. at home.

 

- when the swiss miss goes IN the hot coffee, it's one of "those" days.

- trying to pretend it' nice in boston. it's not. but it was nice in nyc when I left yesterday morning. good thing I didn't have to go outside to go to the hotel....

 

it's friday!!!  what are your plans for the weekend??

 

cheers.
