weekend, successfull. upcoming week, ehh.
I just finished up a few days stint as a dog sitter. I’m pretty much pro at it by now and besides the fact that the neighbor’s house got broken into the night that I was hearing weird noises, the dogs wouldn’t stop barking, and I was incredibly freaked out, everything went smoothly. Sas came over on Thurs and we took the girls for a long walk around the pond my Aunt lives next door to. Cissy is NOT a walker and generally sits on the sidewalk, staring at the house, and trying to pull me back. This time she was like a true athlete, didn’t look back, and even did some running. Must have been the Mitzi puppy influence. We walked them around the pond until we saw several bats flying around us and decided it was a good time to call it an evening. Gross.
My sister is officially living in Boston and this makes me all kinds of happy. She and her fiance’s apartment is pretty nice and only a 25 minute walk from mine. It’s so great to actually be in the same city as her. We met up at Beer Works for some beer and the Sox game this afternoon. When we were leaving, she gave me a hug and then we looked at each other and said, “uhh, we don’t need to hug each other goodbye anymore; I’ll see you soon!” I’m so not used to being able to see her whenever we want to. Love it.
I had one of the most unproductive weeks ever last week due to the beautiful weather and the holiday. I’m almost happy this week’s weather is going to be a little ehh because that means I can actually get tons done. Basically I’m going to be working 24/7 and I kind of don’t really mind because it’s going to feel so good to make progress on some of my stuff.
Maybe you noticed the new links I added to another site I’m writing for, Guidespot.com. I recently started writing guides for Boston (obviously), so check them out if you want some fun ideas on things to do and places to go. Guidespot has guides for most major cities, so no matter where you’re from, check it out! The site is like Yelp, only better! Let me know what you think of it and if you have any suggestions.
I know, I know; I’m basically doing a million things, but writing is my full-time job, so it would be pretty sad if I wasn’t.
Oh, and I made cupcakes on Friday and wrote about them on We are not Martha! Yum.

How cool to have your sister in Boston! I remember the first time my sis and I realized we didn’t need to do the big, dramatic goodbye hug…such a great feeling
Love the cupcakes!
