It's a Cat Weekend


Cold weather has moved in to Boston, so this weekend was quite laid back and we spent some "quality time" with Pedro and Turbo. Pedro is conked out due to the heat from my laptop, and Turbo is licking her lips after being drugged up on some catnip. Quite the weekend for those two.
We also saw an excellent movie this weekend though, and we would definitely recommend you all see it. We hit up Kendall Square Cinemas to see "Slumdog Millionaire," directed by Danny Boyle, one of our fave directors. The movie is fantastic, and really sweet, though there are a few tough scenes. Anyway, go see it, and if you live in the Boston area, keep warm!! Brrrrr...

Long relaxing weekend

After a long weekend in Colorado doing "wedding research" with my mom, and having my return flight cancelled, followed by a night meeting at work, I was completely exhausted. As a result, Terry and I spent the entire weekend lazing about, sleeping in and eating pizza. It was fantastic. But I don't have any pictures to share.

All that time in the airport and on the plane did give me the opportunity to read a lot though, and I recommend two books: The Myth of You and Me, by Leah Stewart, and Persuasian, by Jane Austen. One modern book and one old one, but both good reads. And The Myth of You and Me takes place partly in Boston, so that's always good!

Halloween & George's wedding



Terry managed to come by tix to the Boston Celtics for Halloween night (thank you, Rich!), so we headed downtown Friday night for some fun holiday basketball. The Celts won, and though that was awesome, what was even more interesting was the "green man" sitting next to Terry. A not-so-svelte but very friendly man had dressed himself in a head-to-toe spandex green bodysuit for Halloween. What was even crazier was that there was another green man at the game as well, causing quite the rivalry between our sections. Fun times. Both seemed to have the goal of getting on the jumbotron, and after much work, both were successful. 

We also headed to Poughkeepsie, NY on Saturday for George and Kelly's wedding. It was a beautiful affair, but of course we left our camera in the hotel room, so no pictures. We had a blast, with lots of wine drinking and dancing, and the scenery was absolutely fantastic. I was happy to meet lots of new people. We wish them all the best!
