Hitting the road!

And we're off! Well, not yet. Tomorrow. After much (muuuuch) back-and-forth, it's settled: We're going to Boston! Josh has never been, and my ten-year old self only spent two days there, so there's plenty of Visiting Somewhere New Excitement in the air.

Did I mention the food? THE FOOD. Our trip is mapping out to resemble a milk run of Boston restaurants and bars. On the confirmed list: Abe and Louie's Steakhouse, Bukowski Tavern, Flour, Top of the Hub. For good measure, we also threw in a walking tour (SO ACTIVE) of Little Italy's best Italian food. A little birdy (the internet) also told us where to find the bar from Good Will Hunting. We've got this covered.

Confession: At the moment, I'm grappling with some mid-scale weird feelings re: not seeing my family on nye for the first time in, um, ever. I'm hoping sure these will pass after we've hit the road, made some ill-conceived Duty Free purchases, and filled our bellies with top of the line en-route Amurrican grub (read: Friendly's).

Mostly, I'm looking forward to road tripping with my favorite co-pilot -- the GPS! HA! Nah. Josh is my favorite co-pilot. He always let's me stop for a McGriddle before we even leave the neighborhood, and only complains a little when I skip through The Doves to listen to Beyonce.

In case we don't chat before then, HELLO 2015 & HAPPY NEW YEAR! Xx

Living With A Boy

You see balled up socks everywhere. He (thinks he) sees tampons everywhere.

He constantly drops spare change and doesn’t pick it up. You implement a strict Finders Keepers policy and can now afford weekly Wilensky Specials.

You drag your feet for hours re: dinner prep, yielding minimal to zero results. He gets home and has something whipped up in under 45 minutes.

He buys a new flannel top. You secretly inherit his old one, but only wear it when he’s not around to catch you.

You suspect he uses your fancy face wash sometimes. He now knows you borrow his clothes without asking, so things are basically even.
