An email I received last evening.

Subject: All Things Brithday :)

Hey Everyone!

Our favorite bride to be (who also happens to always be classily-dressed :) ) has a birthday this Saturday! Come have a fun restaurant week dinner at Masa in the South End to celebrate Kimberly's birthday this Saturday, March 15th at 8:30 pm.

Please let me know by Wednesday if you can make it, so I can adjust the reservation if needed.
Hope you can come!

Thanks!
Kate

I wanted to share that email because she really is something else, every now and then your friends do something that really touches you and reminds you how gosh darn lucky you are.

Speaking of wonderful people the best looking mother to-be A of Fave Couple is in her last week. She is due on Saturday (3/15) which if you read above happens to be a special date for me too. I would be honored to share a birthday with their little guy! We're all thinking about you Aim!!!

Haaaachooooo

Even though we got snow on Saturday evening my spring allergies have sprung. First thing first pop a claritin, good times!

We had a wonderful weekend. Friday was a good low key evening, watching Miss USA was kind of fun. Saturday was a surprise birthday party for a friend at the 21 Amendment in Beacon Hill it was a great party and he "said" he was surprised...Who knows! I have come to realize I dislike that place. The stone walls and dark wood make you feel as if you're in a cave and you get a bunch of drunk top of the Hill brats..."Lets go to the 21st Amendment..yeah that's cool, I love that place man". Many things are wrong with that statement but the thing that stands out is if you call it "21st Amendment"...If you know Beacon Hill and know the area you refer to it as "21A", that's it.

The whole weekend was spent running around and cleaning. I do not remember a weekend that has flown so fast. But it was eventful and we got to see some great friends which is always a major plus!

The next few post will indeed be all about weddings. That is really all I am letting myself blog about today/this week. A few weeks ago it was announced that one of the positions on our team was getting eliminated and I will be picking up her work. That's all I'm going to say about that.

I am all set for spring. I tend to wear skirts the most at work and the days of throwing on a skirt suit with heels (no nylons) is fast approaching (Lord I hope so) I need to get some more self tanner cloths. I used to fake bake with the best of them, but now that is a BIG no no in my book (and I'm sure a lot of yours) with so many great self tanners/bronzers out there, there is no excuse for going tanning. That is just plain stupid!

Any suggestions on a self tanner you've tried and are a fan of? I currently use Estée Lauder Towelettes. I think they are great, but I might need to try L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning, Towelettes, I'm sure they are pretty much the same and much less expensive. (AND it'd be a reason to go to Target!)


I went to Trader Joe's yesterday and spent way too much time looking at everything! I got some good items but realized I can not do all of my shopping there. And the people who shop there annoy the crap out of me. I mean that's all fine and great if you bring your own bags but don't hold the line up looking for the right size tote bag to fit your tofu and wine in. Just pull one out and get a moving. If you get a half a cart of groceries you really do not need to travel with 15 different sizes of tote bags, you're not about to spend the month on the Vineyard (seriously that's what the different sizes are for)! Regardless I found a really good light airy Chardo Pino blend!


That's all I have!

Workings for the birds...

And so I am a bird. Which makes me think, what type of bird would i be? Seagull does that count? Of course I need to tell you what type of Seagull I would be, I think the get a bad wrap.

A) They annoy the bloody hell out of people who are attempting to eat on the beach (or some damn kid feeds it, nothing ticks me off more)

B) Or the other kind that are in mall parking lots, i remember as a youth my mom and I would laugh at the dumb Seagull that would be flying around Madison in JANUARY...

I would be hanging out in Nantucket on Nobadeer Beach or better yet Great Point. And when it gets a bit brisk for this warm chicken errr...Seagull I would head to...Um..I'm not sure, maybe you guys can help me out on a good place for me to "winter"?/!

Now that I got that out of the way...
*the real post*

Last night we had a WONDERFUL dinner at the Tavern on the Water in the Navy Yard in Charlestown. A evening out with that crew is always delightful. We had the best appetizers (calamari my fave and some cream cheese crab wong tong, good thing i worked out like a mad-Kimba this week) and the dinner was to die for! I had Crab Asparagus Haddock it was crusted haddock and the asparagus was also crusted. Bit too much "crust" for my liking but it was so good. I love that place! I can't wait until it warms up and we can rock cocktails on the deck as the sun goes down over my city!

Weekend details...

Tonight I am staying in to watch Miss USA (my brothers girlfriend is Miss WI) and to make quesadillas. I promised Music Guy the reason why I wanted to make them WASN'T because it was something to smother sour cream on wink wink!!!

And tomorrow we have house guest. Our friends are in town from NYC, my fave necklace designer KEP and the one and only TSK (he doesn't have a link he's just great) will be staying at Rancho de Kimba. The reason they are in town will come on Monday, you'll see why I'm not saying anything!

Which means I will be CLEANING tonight and tomorrow, I'm a freak about having people over and cleaning. I kind of wish we would have hired help, who am I kidding!

Sunday will be a "normal" Sunday (i think...) Then it's back for the last week of my birthday month :(!

Have a great weekend and let me know where this Seagull should winter!

OH my mom is coming out for Easter!!! She can finally see our wedding site!!!
