When the Sand Runs out...

I was feeling like I needed something to kick start this dreary, rainy day in boston. I am fullly commited to getting where I want to be pysically and mentally. Sometimes when I am feeling down, I listen to this song by Rascal Flatts, called "When the Sand Runs out" to charge me back up.

My favorite lyrics from the song are the following...

'Cause people do it everyday

Promise themselves they're gonna change
I've been there, but I'm changin' from the inside out
That was then and this is now
I'm a new man [Woman], yeah, I'm a brand new man[Woman]

Chorus:
I'm gonna stop lookin' back and start movin' on
Learn how to face my fears
Love with all of my heart, make my mark
I wanna leave something here
Go out on a ledge, with out any net
That's what I'm gonna be about
Yeah I wanna be runnin'
When the sand runs out

Enjoy :)

Vote!

Today is election day to fill the late Ted Kennedy's Senate spot for Massachusetss. One vote can make a difference. Read the platforms, make an informed decision and vote vote vote!

It's been awhile!

Sorry for not blogging lately. Life has been hectic. I still have been training for my half marathon and getting into the Holiday spirit. I am super excited for my Ugly Christmas Sweater Party this weekend as well as going to London for a week over Christmas! I wish you all a safe happy and healthy Holiday Season.

November will be busy!

I cannot believe its November already. Where does the time go? Weve entered the "dark times" and now the holiday season has begun. Unfortunately, I will not be celebrating my favorite holiday this year, Thanksgiving
:(. I have to work and I am not close enough to join family festivities. That will be made up for with a week in London over Christmas! I am excited for our "Fugly Christmas Sweater Party" on December 12th though. It should be a blast.

Halloween!

I had a blast on Saturday doing a Pub Crawl around Boston with my faves....Here are a few pics!

Fall is here.....

It is officially Autumn...there are so many things I like about Fall....the cool crsip sunny days, changing leaves, Halloween, Pumpkin flavored everything, Thanksgiving (which im working but I think my mom is coming to my apartment to make us dinner after I get out of work!)......I am totally taking advantage of the fall for my 1/2 Marathon training to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Boston landscapes before the snow comes!

Found this pic of Boston Common in the fall on http://www.yetanotherblog.com/

Cape Cod for Labor Day

I am heading home to visit my Mom for labor day. For those of you who don't know, I grew up in South Yarmouth on Cape Cod. It is a lovely place to visit in the summer and fall. Can't wait to get boiled Lobsters!!

RIP DJ AM

It has sure been a crazy year for Celebrity deaths...most recently Ted Kennedy which is a big to do since I grew up on Cape Cod. Tonight they announced DJ AM has died of unknown causes (drug overdose speculated). Although I do not know a lot of his work, I hear that he is very well respected within the music community. The crazy thing to me is that I had a chance to see him DJ at Pure which is in the Ceasars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. I went there for Spring Break my senior year of college and he happend to be spinnin' the night we went. I hope that he is in a better place now. I took the below photo in March 2007.

5 Miles!

This morning I ran 5 miles at the gym. Can't say the last time I got that far without stopping once. Usually 3 miles is my max! I'm thinking of signing up for the Tufts 10K women's run in October...I've done 2 5Ks before but well see.

I'm off to Meet Melissa and Brian for Dinner at Temple Bar. I've never been but here its great :)

Happy 2 Year Anniversary

Today is my 2 year anniversary at work. Ironically my department is battling one of the biggest challenges in years today. I will definitely need a well deserved celebratory drink tonight. Time Flies!

Jazzy Friday

Yes it is finally here...everyones' favorite day of the work week! I don't have much planned this weekend YET but I am trying something new tonight. Brittany decided it would be fun to go to a jazz club for some drinks. We will be smoking cigars and drinking scotch on the rocks for sure....JK. I'm not sure which place were going to but we know there are a few in the city somewhere. So cheers to you all and happy Friday :)

Hmm what to have...

So tonight I am going out to dinner with some girlfriends to the Grafton Street Pub in Cambridge, MA. I have been to this place before and it has great food and a nice atmosphere.

Im probably going to get....
Pan Roasted P.E.I. Mussels - pernod, lobster stock and scallions, grilled toast and a small house/ceasar salad!

Should be great!

UPDATE: They did not have mussels:( I had a cheeseburger and some mixed greens (NO FRIES!)

Brunettes Have More Fun

I decided to dye my hair dark for the fall. I didn't think the blond highlights really suited my coloring/eyes. It just got too light. Right now it is much darker than my natural color but it should fade out soon. I do really like it :)

Happy Hump Day Everyone.....few more days to go till the weekend.

A little bit of everything
