Aug 23rd

T went into work today so I got to pack all by myself! We're almost ready to get out of this dump!

Aug 22nd

This movie was really cute! Very different from the book but I loved Meryl Streep as Julia Child.

Aug 21st

And the packing continues on this fun and fabulous Friday night!

Aug 20th

I ran into Old Navy today and right into some crazy deals. I'm all set for Italy now!

Aug 19th

I had fun at Home Depot checking out some paint samples!

Aug 18th

This ice cream stand has the most delicious cake batter ice cream that I've ever had.

Aug 17th

This is about as organized as we can get in our 700 square foot apartment.

Aug 16th

We packed today, but actually it just looks like the apartment threw up.

We went to the new Citi Field to see the Giants beat the Mets. The stadium is gorgeous and a gigantic step up from the toilet that was Shea Stadium. You enter the park through the Jackie Robinson Rotunda which is full of old photos and memorabilia. We sat in our nosebleed seats for 5 innings an then we decided to wander around the park. We checked out the dunk tank and the little tee ball field for the kids. We also stumbled on the old apple that used to pop up at Shea when a homerun was hit. It's down at field level and right behind the bullpen viewing area. We finished up the day with dinner at one of my favorite Thai places in NYC. Great day. Check out more of my photos from today here.

T received his fourth patent today. He's such a smartie!

Aug 13th

T started packing up our closet this afternoon. Still waiting on a closing date. Impatiently.

Aug 12th

This is my crappy dead phone. I can't find my charger anywhere and I think I must have left it in Boston.

Aug 11th

I bought these language CD's about 9 months ago. I opened them today and listened to the first lesson on my way home from work. If I can leave for the airport in three weeks with the most basic of Italian vocabulary, I'll consider myself ready to be one with them!

Aug 10th

Gilt.com is one of the greatest shopping sites I've stumbled on. These beauties were waiting for me when I came home from work today!

Aug 9th

In Boston, the Red Sox are everywhere! Even on the Dunkin Donuts iced coffee cups...

Aug 8th

Before we split up for the day, T to Fenway Park for his cousin's bachelor party and me to a friend's house in New Hampshire, we had breakfast at his mother's house in Lynn, MA.

Aug 7th

T and I stopped for dinner at this little diner off the Taconic on our way to Boston. I had an egg salad and a milkshake and T had a burger. It was delicious and we were on our way within 45 minutes!

Aug 6th

I was inspired by "Eat Pray Love" to begin meditating and doing yoga more regularly. I opened up my new Chakra deck today and learned about the Throat Chakra.

Aug 5th

I finally bought sneakers for Italy! The white ones are for the trip and the black Vans were on sale. Who else loves Kohl's?

Aug 4th

I started this audio book today and almost shut it off after the first disc. It's a pretty hard story for me to swallow and it made me fairly uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I can't stand not knowing the ending so I'll soldier on!

Aug 3rd

Aloe is a sunburn's best friend. We bathed in it today.

Aug 2nd

And..back to the city. This is the rainstorm we drove through to get home from the beach. I've never seen anything like it.

Aug 1st

We've had it with our nasty apartment and the stifling heat. We packed up the car, picked up my friend Shannon, and went to the Jersey Shore. We spent the day at Bradley Beach, jumping in the waves and people watching. We finished the day with $1 drafts and a late lunch at a local pub. Dessert was cake batter ice cream from the nearby ice cream stand.
