KISS-FIST YOU

A year after graduation lots has happened but one thing still remains, I LOVE the company of my classmates. Getting together with people that share the same if not very similar career goals can be really refreshing, not to mention NOT having to explain what ASL is. These are some of the students who went through the hellish and heavenly experiences of the Interpreting program at NU. Through tears about our work as well as uncontrollable laughter about our RIDICULOUS work (Robert Frost, me on a horse... need i say more?) I am privileged to have studied with them. 

While the night was fun and we were missing a few. I would be omitting a big part of my heart if I didn't mention our Dear friend Andy who passed away this past fall. A year after graduating and having our lives carry on my heart still stops when I think about how he's not around. I miss his jokes, laughter, and sarcasm. I had a hard time time working afterwards, feeling selfish that we had both worked SO HARD for something and now he's not doing it. I'm still working through that. 

Andy you had the best NMMs because your eye gaze could mean, 

"PUH-lease"

"OH NO he didn't!?"

"is she really wearing that?" 

love and miss you! 

Fenway 7/5/2011

It's true what they say you know, not a bad seat at Fenway. For $30 we got some legit seats at the last minute to make it to see the Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays. We won 3-2 and I had an awesome time with the girls again, no complaints here.

P.S. It's my birFday weekennnnnnnd!

Quincy on the Shore

Sam moved to Quincy and because she's an awesome friend she let me stay with her my last night in Boston. You can get there on the T so its really not TOO far, but it seems like it when you have never been.

Go to Quincy for the greasy but delicious food, beach, sunset, and OBVI. to visit Sam. She may even give you a ride in 1987.... something car. You gotta know we felt like a million bucks driving up to the beach bars in that bad boy, "THE FUN HAS ARRIVED!"

Slept through Brunch?

That’s right, I almost slept through my brunch date with two fellow DZs. We made plans for 11am and I woke up at 11:04am. Needless to say my sister Cati was more than understanding and told me to take my time, shower and assured me they will still be serving brunch on Newbury well into the afternoon. Can I just say that was so nice! I love when people are understanding and never want to make you feel rushed. Someone could have easily twisted it said, “no problem, but I’m here, what time are you going to be here?” I now want to be more like Cati even more than before!

Like her Grand Big (moi) Sarah was also running late and rallied to meet us. When we all got together we ordered immediately and were pleasantly surprised with our food. We knew Stephanies was a solid bet for brunch but I was impressed by their unique menu options. I ordered pulled pork eggs, that was to die for and the other girls were pleased with their choices as well. Every time I do brunch I always tell myself I am going to brunch more, and this time I MEAN IT!

p.s. I tried to be more “granola” in my outfit choice but was quickly reminded by Cati that granola girls doubtfully wear canary diamond stud earrings…. #FAIL

Sweet Night in Cambridge

YAY for pizza! YAY for Cambridge! Two Saturdays ago (I have to catch up with his blog posting thing) I got together with two ladies from my cohored that are now “collegues” Oh dang, that’s right….working women (just a year ago we were graduating seniors). Laura, Kelly and myself enjoyed some amazing thin crust pizza over at Cambridge 1 as well as great conversation about work, boys, and where life may lead us in just 5years. After eating just the right amount of pizza and not feeling stuffed to the brim we were able to save room for some Sweets  not too far away we poped over for a “night cap” which in this case was a vanilla cupcake. The cupcakes were great and the frosting was so thick, it made the cupcake itself topple over! Yummm.

Thanks to Kelly and Laura for making some last minute time to sit and chat with me so we could catch up. You both made my Saturday night just being in your fabulous company and being candid about all things our lives have to offer.  

Bathroom shots and crab RANGOONS!

To start the weekend out right I got together with Lyns and Sam to rally and go out on the town. This turned into a girl gab fest and we didn’t head out of the apartment till midnight. Arriving first at  Dillions  and a classic favorite where you can do no wrong, Pour House (the site makes it look worse then it is, I'm actually heading there for dinner tonight).  The pictures speak for themselves, but with a little blue moon, great friends and music, the evening was a success dancing the night away, walking home to chat with the Boston Fire Dept, petting their puppy, and of course crab Rangoons at 2am.

Same time next week ladies?
