Happy Friday, friends!

It feels like spring today, and it is glorious. Last night I went for a run in shorts!

It was pretty fantastic. Spring, hurry along, won't you?

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday, friends!

Today is Patriots' Day, which means that here in Boston, some of us don't have to go to work. It's also the day of the Boston Marathon, which is possibly my favorite sporting event all year. My roommate Anna and I are going to go watch the elite runners race down Commonwealth Avenue in the Back Bay in a couple of hours. I can't wait- I haven't seen Boston live in years.

I'll leave you with this breakfast nook. I can't stop staring at it- can't you imagine yourself sitting here on a lazy Saturday morning, drinking coffee and eating baguette and reading the newspaper? (An actual paper newspaper, not the New York Times online, which is all I ever read anymore). Heaven.

Red Sox!

Guess where my feet and I went last night?

Fenway Park, of course!

I hadn't been to a Red Sox game yet this year, so when Sara texted me on Sunday night to see if I wanted to go, I immediately said yes. We had lots of fun watching the team, drinking Sam Adams Oktoberfest, and eating pretzels. . .

{I'm unemployed and I'd already eaten, so I just had a bite of Emily's pretzel. It was pretty tasty.}

Then it started to rain! While the rain itself was sad, we did get to see the guys put out the cover-thingy. I love watching them do that. I like how they work together to get the field covered quickly.

The other thing I love about going to Red Sox games is how everybody at them really loves the Red Sox. I don't even like baseball that much, but the Red Sox are just awesome, and so Bostonish and being surrounded by people who feel the same way is so much fun.

Thanks for taking us, Sara!

Bowl Haven

On Saturday night, Holly, Nat, Emily and I went bowling. We went to Bowl Haven, a candlepin bowling alley that has not changed even a tiny bit since it was created in 1939.

As it turns out, we're all pretty atrocious bowlers.

Nat was slightly better than Holly, Em and I, but that may have had something to do with the fact that we all had had the same amount of beer, and he is a boy.

That having been said, my hand-eye coordination is so bad, I feel like even a little alcohol couldn't make it any worse.

{I believe that if I tilt my body enough, the ball will go where I want it to. That is not true.}

Bowling is still my new favorite activity. I can't wait to go back to Bowl Haven soon. Next weekend, anyone?

WE BEAT LA

That's right, we did.
The part of me that loves tradition and poetic-ness and you know, that stuff loves that we didn't just win the championship, but that we beat the Lakers to do it.
I heart the Celtics.
