Suz & E!!!

I think this pictures says it all, Kimba and Suz got to hang out last weekend and it was fabulous, about as fabulous as she is!

And if my day could have gotten any better, I met E for a yummy dinner and drinks. 
AND then the three of us together at last!!!

Thanks for hanging Suz, next time I need to get you down to the Cape! 

Aren't we just too cute!

Check out the two pictures M took of us! I have the hardest time uploading pix from our Mac so please forgive me.

I know most of you are huge The Bachelor fans, but this gal is watching another the other Bachelor that is on Monday nights, 24, Jack Bauer never lets us down!

The snow was not to bad by the time I was up to shovel and to tell you the truth I don't mind shoveling at all. I think of it as a little extra workout! Though I prefer my morning workouts with less snow blowing into my face.

How did you ladies fare with the snow?

I would actually rather talk about the snow then the fact the Dow was under 7000, and stayed that way at the close. First time since 1997. So what were you doing in '97? I was a freshman in High School, nuff said, it's been a while.

Sorry this is so random and short, but like i said Jack's on!

Hi, welcome and thank you to my new followers!!!

Dinner and Drinks!

I wanted to quick pop in before I head out to meet the fablous E, J, M & K

Looking forward to dinner and drinks with these lovely ladies! And of course pictures and stories will be posted!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!!

An un-post

I ran for over an hour after work and then walked the freedom trail home, so my idea of a grand post as to wait for another day!

The time and location is set for this Saturday and I can't wait!!! I will be meeting three new preppy bloggers and reuniting with two lovelies I haven't seen in over a year! 

If you're thinking why is Kimba getting so excited over this...well if you've been following you know how fabulous these outings are!!! And good blogging material also tends to proceed these events!

Cheers

Shhhhh, the President is starting!!!

Dow Dow Dow

I took a screen shot of my company's stock this afternoon when it hit $2.81. When I started over three years ago it was at $56.00+ a share.

Well Dow you closed this week at 7200...its been a long short week. I'm looking forward to a upswing next week, got it? I'm just sayin'! 

xo,

Your biggest fan Kimba

Am I the only one who can't get enough of Bernie Madoff and the Ponzi Scheme? 

In happier news, we'd love to meet you next Saturday, leave a comment if you'd like to join! 

None of the above needs to be discussed! 

It's great to finally meet some of the gals you share your first cup of coffee with in the morning, your lunch with at your desk or maybe even that much needed glass of wine when the kids are in bed and you are able to sit down and catch up on bloglines! 

Cheers!

Preppy Blogging Meet up

We’re still on for the preppy meet up on February 28th, and I hope you still are too!

I’d like to throw out two options for you local ladies and if you would leave your vote in the comments we can tally up the winner! Both options very are close to Boston, exact locations will be give out via email to those who can make it.

Preppy Option 1) Preppy E Potluck at our favorite ladybugs house! E has volunteered to host our meet up at chez ladybug! Each of us could bring a dish that we might typically bring to outings with our friend/family. Or I was thinking a “theme” but then the only theme I can think of is Mexican or something to do with March (green beer)? HA!

Preppy Option 2) Boston Preppy Drinks and Apps - If going into the city seems more what you’re looking for; I can find a restaurant that has parking relative close, the T and of course has a prep in it!

Don’t be shy let us know what you’d prefer! As I said either choice would have you very close to Boston. We hope everyone can make it, these events always are a grand time and the memories and stories make for excellent blogging material!

If you miss this meet up don’t worry, when the weather gets nicer we’ll plan a mid-week meet up for cocktails on the water! And i'll be hosting one in the spring where we can use our "outdoor space" as us city folks like to call it.

Cheers!

Blogging Meet up!

I've been wanting to get a blogging night together in Boston but knew I had to wait until after the holidays to hopefully get the best turn out!

If you'd like to join in the fun (I can promise, it is a damn good time when we all get together) leave a comment with what date works best for you.

February 21 or February 28 or suggest another date.

Looking forward to seeing some old blogging buddies and meeting some new ones!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, no work for me tomorrow, we're on the Cape and it's been so relaxing!

Only ok if you're Kimba....

I had a wonderful weekend! More on the weekend later, this post is just about today.

Today in Charlestown was the Bunker Hill Road Race, I knew A & B would be running so I laced up my running shoes and set out in the pouring rain to check out the festivities and to try to locate them in the Navy Yard before they took off. Successful on both counts! I saw all of the Townies set up their chairs and reserve their spots on Main Street for the race and the parade and was able to wish A & B luck! I came back home quickly and showered (have never been so soaked) as I was walking out the door I saw Music Guy give B a high five! Bummed I missed him run by but MG was there and I screamed GO BILLY, to only realize I was only screaming to myself!

Coll picked me up and we headed North to attend a fabulous graduation party for the oh so fab Libby! Can I just please preface that if Coll and I ever plan to attend somewhere we've never been and we're together we absolutely under no circumstance will be able find the place on the first try. I'm just saying... We cruised the strip of Hampton Beach at 11:30am and of course had to stop for A) gas and B) help...decked out in white, pink, navy and pearls with a Lilly dress hanging in the back. We threw our Vineyard Vines totes in the backseat and went on our way (with directions of course). We knew we were on the right rode and felt pretty confident....we said lets look for the house with balloons and we'll know that has to be it. So we found the house with balloons and pulled over both thinking to ourselves hum....is this right? I looked at the gal in the front yard and she sure looked at me, i checked the address and well not the house...mind you we were pretty much parked and out the door (well I was). Back on route and only another few blocks we arrived at our destination. We were greeted by Libs and Devil Dog.... Best greeting ever if you ask me!

We had a wonderful time and was so tickled to be able to meet Libby's wonderful friends and family. We have a picture of us three that i'll post this week! (Thanks D!)

We headed back to Boston (found our way NO problem) and Coll dropped me off in Beacon Hill for our Father's Day celebration! It was a wonderful afternoon!

We're back home now and Charlestown is still rocking, these Townies are pretty crazy!!!

I'm ready for the Celtics this evening, but spending a good hour + running around town in the pouring rain it will be a struggle to stay up...BUT I know they'll take it tonight so I'm ready!!!!!!

BEAT LA!!!

PS, anyone watch the US Open yesterday? T.I.G.E.R....we watched history last night with those two putts!

Yeahh!

The updates are in over at Preppy Bloggers. And of course a lot of great pictures!!!

I really will actually have a regular post soon!

Happy last minute shopping, have I brought up yet that I only have one person on my list done?

One preppy weekend....

As you know wonderful recaps are brewing over at Preppy Bloggers. It was indeed a fabulous Saturday from start to finish. I have to figure out how to upload a video from my cell phone! :)

I'll have a weekend recap soon along with our Holiday plans and gifts i'm giving.

Dear Premier Jeep Cape Cod,

I just wanted to say THANK YOU very much for our wonderful 4 wheel drive Jeep.

xo,

Kimba

Reason 983748762 why I am a very big fan of living and working in the city. We had our holiday party yesterday afternoon at the 21st Amendment in Beacon Hill (or as we like to call it 21A, pronounced two one A or 21A). When I plan things it has to be something I like so going to one of my all time favorite places is what I did! Chalk that up to the name of my blog, ATK! Ok sorry back to my point...I left the office around 1:45 and walked to Haymarket took the Orange Line to Community College a 10 minute walk and I was home. I'd say it took me around 25 minutes. The second shortest commute was 3 and a half hours. Needless to say when emails here flying around this morning about the crappy commute I kept to myself. My poor boss sat inside the 93 tunnle for and hour and a half. I would go nuts.

Nothing too big planned for tomorrow!!!!!!! I can't wait! No really...I can't!
Suz, keep your phone near!

I will post a few pictures from our snow piled deck for all of you wishing you had snow.

Boston Bloggin' gals night UPDATE

We have decided to push back the Boston Bloggin' gals pub crawl.

No date has been set, I'll keep you all posted as we get our schedules together!

In other news Music Guy and I might get lucky and go out on A & B from fave couples new boat this evening! Which means I will be able to break in my cooler! Nothing is classier than walking down Main Street and Charlestown's historic Gas Light District into the Navy Yard than someone pulling a cooler on wheels!

Hope to post some pictures!

We love our get togethers

I've been chatting with a few of my favorite bloggin' Boston gals and we've come up with a date for our next outing.

Saturday August 18.
Location TBA

If you have any interest leave a comment and as the time gets closer we'll put together a little agenda!

FYI, i will be on my best behavior!
:)

*****Update*****

The oh so smart Libby reminded me that the oh so wonderful Coll suggested our very own Peppy Pub Crawl in Boston!

So that's that, crawlin' in Bean-town decked out in our pink and green with the best gals around!
