Mugggeeee
Hi all! We had a fab weekend in the city! I got out of work early on Friday and showed Kel around Quincy Market, then we walked through Beacon Hill to meet up with J for an early dinner. We strolled down Newbury Street and stopped to have dinner outside at Joe's. There is nothing better than sitting outside people watching! I can't tell you how many times i've been there, I just love it!
Kel and I walked through the Public Garden and down Charles St before we figured out where to next! We hopped into a cab and headed to The Tavern on the Water down in the Navy Yard, we made it just in time for the start of the Sox game. It was pretty busy but we were able to score some seats at the bar! I had met her right from work so needless to say I wasn't in "going out clothes" not that I even have them, but I looked a little to dressed up. I had on a navy and cream polka dot JCrew skirt with a cream sweater set and pearls. So shoot me I wasn't in a tube top! I prefer not to look like a tramp in public! We took off after the Sox crushed the Giants and made a quick stop into the Warren Tavern. I mean she couldn't come to Charlestown and not go there no could she! It was fun chatting with all the Townies, again another place the patrons were not a fan of my outfit.
Saturday morning we were up and out pretty early catching the Trolley in the Navy Yard. We stayed on the entire time, every time I learn something new about my city! I did however get a little trolley sick, it was pretty bumpy!
Next it was off to Fenway, we talked around Landsdown Street and grabbed a table at Tequila Rain. Got some good appetizers and beers and again watched the Sox hammer Bonds and his Giants. Then it was off to the Cask where we were able to get a table outside and still see the TV's. Now that is people watching. At the top of the 9th we jumped into a cab and got the heck out of there. I've been stuck down there to many times after the games and it's not fun, unless it's the playoffs! We went back to the Ironside for an early dinner and then back to my place to lay low. We had some pretty late nights and just relaxing with a cocktail at home seemed like a great idea to both of us!
I took Kel to the airport early that next day and came home and spent the afternoon urban sunbathing with a decktail. It was a perfect afternoon to wrap up a perfect weekend. When the sun started to go down I got on the couch and watched all my chick DVR's as Music Guy stayed on the Cape for Father's Day.
Back to work yesterday, which meant back to the gym. I have a semi short week. My father and step mom fly in on Thursday afternoon for a long weekend, I'm working a couple hours Friday morning and then it's down to the Cape for the weekend! Needless to say it's a busy week again for a Kimba!
Hope you all are enjoying this great MUGGY weather! Woohoo Summer has arrived!

Where everybody knows your name
We had such a fun time last night, don't have much time but had to report back!
Kell got in just fine last night we had a decktails and headed over to the Ironside to have a few drinks and watch the Sox game. We walk in and who is sitting at the first table but my girl A from fave couple and her friend A. We chatted with them while we waited for our table and while waiting one of the girls we went to the Vineyard with came walking in she was meeting J Music Guy's sister. She came and we had a fab night of chatting and well drinking! We had the best calamari I have ever had! Mind you Music Guy and I had never been there! Talk about "Cheers"!
We came back to our place and hang out listening to tunes! Lots O fun!
I'm about to head to the gym sans my iPod :(
Tie up a few loose ends and it's off to bum around with my fave cousin!

Annoying!
So I went and got a Starbucks latte this morning and thought "i'll have it iced". I don't think i've had it iced before so adding that extra word through me off. Boy was it yummy!!!
I went and got another latter this afternoon to give me some energy for the gym later and as I was walking over there it dawned on me the last one I had was not made with skim but made with whole milk. F me. That is a difference of 100 calories and 10 grams of fat. I am so pissed. It's my own fault but it ticks me off! Only because I was in a hurry! Righttt!
Oh well, guess it would be same as having a 100 calorie cupcake pack, which actually would have tasted better!
Enough on that! It's really cold in here, I'm trying to figure something yummy for our last dinner together until next Tuesday. We had garlic cheese turkey burgers last night and pico de gallo on top of grilled chicken with cheese. Both of which were made with no help from myself. So me coming up with something is well a bit changeling! Any thoughts?

Bloggin' about this weekend already?
I am very excited about the upcoming weekend! My cousin Kell flies in tomorrow evening from Chicago to spend the weekend in Boston with me! I have to work for most of the day on Friday so she is going to take a map and bum around the city. But Friday evening I'll make sure to show her a good time!
Saturday we are going to do lunch/shop on Newbury and head down to Landsdown St to watch the Sox game. Kell is a huge Cubs fan and is looking forward to seeing Fenway and the way us Sox fan party! I am hoping she has some idea's of what she wants to see/do because I've seen and done it all so I might over look some places "tourist" would enjoy.
Any of you lovely ladies either from Boston or have visited Boston have some suggestions for showing a gal from Chi-town around?
Music Guy will be at a bachelor party all weekend so it'll end up being a perfect gals weekend!
In other news I swear there were 100+ people on the bus this morning and it was stuffy and hot. I got off the bus and it started raining, needless to say I'm on my way to get a latte, that is the only thing that will kick this day off right!
Happy Hump Day! :)

Townies for Life
Now it's going to get crazy!
We watched it with Zak & Sara and we all said next year we having a big party!
Weeked Recap
We spent the weekend on the Cape (shocking) and it was lovely!
Music Guy went down in the morning so I had to drive myself which was fine expect it took me exactly one hour to get to the Braintree split. For those of you who are not familiarly with the Boston area that is 11.8 miles south of Boston/Charlestown. But I did not have a back up at the bridge!
Saturday we woke up at 6:30am for no reason other than the damn birds would not shut up! I went for an hour long run on the beach, my legs are killing me. I ran to where we got engaged and like a sap put our wedding song on my iPod and just walked along for a few minutes. Then it was back to Fall Out Boy and full speed.
We looked like it was going to rain all day so we did not end up going fishing or even to the beach. So what else do you do on the Cape when not on the water? Go the the Christmas Tree Shop of course! I bought way to much crap, it is still in my car, I am waiting to be home alone before I bring it in. ha!
Saturday night we thought it would be a great idea to do tapas. We all had to come up with a recipe and it was so much fun. We had this great appetizer grilled peppers and motz, you grill up the peppers and slices of french bead add a slice of pepper to the bread, motz and a basel leaf then drizzle it with evoo and capers. Yum-o!
We then made curried chicken skewers with this crazy peanut dipping sauce (sorry Suz). And my all time fave pizza on the grill with goat cheese and basel. I would like to take credit for that, i saw it on the Food Network and knew it would be super yummy! You roll it on and coat one side with Olive Oil grill that for about 10 minutes and then flip coat the other side and let it grill up for about the same amount of time. I am all of a sudden drawing a blank on what else we made. I know Music Guy's mom took pictures so I'll post those when we sends them out!
Sunday deserves it's own post, I'll run through some of the details and post pictures later. We got up and left right away because we wanted to beat the traffic, we did beat the traffic over the bridge but ended up in a 6 mile backup from a 4 car accident, not that sweet!
We got back into the city and found out every street leading to Charlestown was closed off. Yes people it was Bunker Hill Day and the Towines are f'in nuts! We knew our street was closed because the parade goes right down our street. We had to park in the 99 restaurant parking lot and haul all our shit down the street. Townies are not fans of preppies, I had 4 tote bags and a JCrew shopping bag (two of the totes were vineyard vines). I got the worse looks and I'm thinking F you people, get out of Charlestown for once!
We got back poured a beer into a solo and sat on the sidewalk watching the parade. You'll see what I mean when you see the pictures!
Finally it was time to get ready for dinner with their Priest, he is marrying Music Guy's sister and also us. We have dinner with him a few times a year, he is the best!
Music Guy had on a pink button up and blazer with jeans and I wore my blogging party outfit navy dress with an argyle sweater, I had my sweater around my shoulders. He walked to CVS to get cash and one of the townies said "Nice pink shirt you fag". Nothing beats drunk assholes!
I'm going to post the pictures from the parade, all i can saw is wow these people love their Bunker Hill!

You would know me if you saw me
For all my Sox fans out there you'll appreciate this.
As most of you know (or should know) Curt Shilling had a no hitter going into the 9th with two outs.
Here it goes.....
I spent a total of 4.6 seconds at my desk yesterday as i was holed up in a conference room with only a power bar and diet coke in me (read as yummy food all around but I didn't give in).
I went to the gym right after the meeting and spent a total of 53 minutes on the treadmill. Why you ask? Because the Sox were playing and Shilling had a no hitter going. I finally left and ran up to my desk grabbed my stuff and headed out. I called Music Guy to see how the game was going and he said Shill was still going! I decided it would be a fabulous idea to start running. Mind you I had my workout bag and had just ran for 53 minutes. I work in the Financial District and sprinted to Faneuil Hall dodging tourist, homeless, men dressed like Sam Adams you name it I passed them. I got down by the Purple Shamrock and saw that Oakland was pitching so I kept going. Finally I got to The Point and ran in to see where the game was at. It was the top of the 9th and I knew I wouldn't be able to make it home and this was the last bar I would hit. So I did what any Sox fan would do, ordered a Miller Lite. I stood there dripping in sweat enjoying an ice cold ML watching the first two batters hit a grounder to Lugo. Bottom of the 9th two outs all we needed was one more out and Shilling would have his first ever no hitter. Bamn... line drive into right. FUCK was the only thing you could here in the bar. I quickly finished my beer and headed home. Right when I walked outside I got the worst cramping in my poor tummy, I guess running and chugging a beer was not what it was up for. So then I got home and it seemed up for another!
Music Guy is on the Cape, went over the bride at 10 this morning, must be nice! :)
I am still up in the air about if i'm going, i have a feeling i'll end up heading down. I was thinking about going for a run from my office to Charlestown picking up my car and 15 totes and heading back to work. Good idea?
Have a super weekend!

Busting up a Starbucks
I thought I'd treat myself to a latte this morning, mind you I have not had a latte/coffee in weeks. I have had my fair share of Diet Mt. Dews and Diet Cokes, but this latte is strong!
Not too much to report. I am trying to plan a trip to Milwaukee in July to look at wedding dresses with my mom and also go to a Brewers game. I have not seen the Brew Crew in forever, it would be a blast and then I could stay with my bro which is always trouble!!!!
Even though I had a super busy/long day at work yesterday I was still able to hit the gym for a really good work out and even walked home!
I am not a huge fan of the Sox having a West Coast road trip this week. I would love to be able to stay up and watch the games, but i just can't do it. Well they've lost the last two (three if you count Sunday) so it seems I'm not missing much. But you get me, right?/!
Libby knows my love for Mike Lowell and pointed out he (in her words) "just-for-mened"
his facial hair and now I think that could have been a deal breaker. I'm at a loss!
Hope you guys are having a great hump day!

The Starter Wife
Did any one see Debra Messing's new series on USA Network "The Starter Wife"?
I found it pretty funny, i also enjoy her as an actress so that helps. I am trying to catch up on my DVR's. Most of the things I DVR are not ones Music Guy would want to watch, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and of course Wedding Shows. He's great about it but I don't tend to stick around while he's watching fishing shows. Actually I'll take that back, i do!
It ended up only taking 3 hours and 23 minutes to do my hair last night. Good thing my stylist and I enjoy talking! But last night was one of those nights I would have enjoyed just reading and not chit chatting. But I a good sport and played along.
I am not going to be able to met CBM tonight for a drink. Today/tonight is the only day I can work late to prepare for a meeting Thursday morning. It might actually work out better for her and I as the weather is suppose to turn crappy by 5pm.
Trying to figure out what I want to do this weekend. I need to spend a lot of time "picking up" I am in the middle of changing over my summer and winter clothes. Meaning there is stuff all over. It will depend when Music Guy goes down, if he leaves early on Friday I'll stay but then part of me thinks why waste a perfectly good weekend. There will be times we won't go down if we see the weekend will be a washout. Thoughts?
I need skittles, that's what I think.

F'in Yankees
Hope you guys had a great weekend! We did indeed, too short and did not get much done but hey that's what Monday evenings are for with no Jack Bauer to watch!
Friday was a crazy day at work, but like a good girl I was able to squeeze the gym in there and also walked home. It started to rain on my walk home so I looked/smelled like a wet dog when I got home!
We stayed in Friday evening the couple downstairs from us (Zak and Sara) came up and we had some decktails and got to know each other better. Our buddy Hick came by and with him around it's always a party!
Saturday was J's shower, A from Fave couple and I drove out together which was nice. The shower was so wonderful, they have a great group of friends! It was really really hot and like an idiot I wore a black sweater and sat in the sun. Nice job!
The rest of the evening was low key Music Guy was tried so we just stayed home. But we did hang out with Zak and Sarah for a little while. And watch the Pistons lose, :(!
Sunday we did somethings for J's wedding present and I was able to make a Target run, oh how I love that place!
Tonight i'm getting my hair done, I haven't gotten it done in over a month and good god I need it! I'm going to hit the gym before and only do weights not run so I'm not all yucky sitting there for 3 hours. No joke, my hair takes a good 2 and a half hours just to foil it let alone wait for it to turn. She must LOVE me!
I have plans tomorrow evening after work to meet up with the very lovely CBM of "All That's Pink and Green and Inbetween" for a cocktail. Hoping the weather isn't too crappy, good drinks and great company I think the weather won't be an issue!
I've lost 10 pounds since i've started to kick my butt at the gym. So I am now the exact same weight as I was last year at this time. Still more to go but seeing it pay off is pretty nice!
Nothing was classier than my look coming to work this morning. Reef Flip flops, black skirt suit, red foul weather jacket and my pink and green tote gym bag. Really classy Kimba!
Someone we know has a date!!!

I've lost 10 pounds since i've started to kick my butt at the gym. So I am now the exact same weight as I was last year at this time. Still more to go but seeing it pay off is pretty nice!
Nothing was classier than my look coming to work this morning. Reef Flip flops, black skirt suit, red foul weather jacket and my pink and green tote gym bag. Really classy Kimba!
Someone we know has a date!!!

oh and it is Friday!
Nothing says happy weekend like putting on a sweater and having it be to big knowing the last time you had it on it was not!
No Cape for us this weekend. I have J's wedding shower Saturday afternoon and a birthday party Saturday night. And the rest of the weekend should entail me cleaning the crap out of our place (no pun)!
I have to figure out my summer clothes and chase dust bunnies. So needless to say I am uber jealous of my girl Suz. Who's short time in retirement was not fun for her fans!
In other news I had a fab evening last night with A from Fave Couple. She invited me over while the boys went out and we sat on their deck and sipped my new drink of the summer. Mike's Hard Lemonade Lite, it has 78 calories and 2 net carbs. Perfect!
I hope to get the Vineyard pictures up soon, i'm still waiting for them to be sent out.
Have a happy weekend and i'm hoping to check in as the weekend seems pretty low key!
Cheers!

Weekend Recap
I'm going to try my best to give you some of the fun details from the weekend!
We took the ferry out of Falmouth where I proceeded to get a sweet sun glass tan. We were so excited to get there the hour ride seemed to take forever. If you can think about 8 gals staying in a house for a few days you can imagine the amount of stuff we had. Not to mention the rolling backpack cooler suitcase one gal brought. We got to the house and threw our stuff down and headed to Lighthouse Beach (if you have ever been to Edgartown it's the beach that is right by the Lighthouse when you're coming into the harbor). We had the entire beach to ourselves which was great because before we headed to the beach we filled up said cooler. And no one wants their full cooler taken away on the first day!
After a lot of good beach time and many jokes we went back to the house to get all showered up and start our cocktail hour. But not again before refilling said cooler. We had a long cocktail hour while everyone was getting ready. Our plan was to go out to dinner and then out to a bar after. So all the batchlorette gear had to be hidden until we got through with dinner.
We had a really nice dinner at the Kelly House right in town and before we left we dressed her all up in her flair for the evening. Our next stop was The Wharf Pub, we asked some random guy on the street to show us some place fun and that he did! They had a cover band that played a good mix of 80's and early 90's. Screaming at the top of our lungs to Jesse's Girl and Journey is a great way to spend any Saturday night.
The bride J said if you want attention if a bar put on a vail and she is so right. Men and woman would come up to her and want details or would ask us are you with "the bride". Pretty classic!
The next morning we walked into town and got breakfast and walked around as the weather was a little chilly and breezy. Soon it turned nice and a few of us headed to the beach (please note a cooler refill did happen). It was the same and the day before, not one person in site. We were going to take the trolley to South Beach but figured we found such a great spot why not try it again and we were not let down!
Our plan for the evening was to stay in and grill out. We had to be out of the house early and didn't feel another night on the town was in our best interest and we'd be able to enjoy each other more in a low key setting. Not that the 8 of us are very low key! We had another very fun cocktail hour on the deck and had a wonderful dinner. J's mom sent us over with a ton of food so all we had to find were burgers and of course chips! Oh and a few beers and a bottle of wine.
The next morning we all got up and cleaned up the house, packed our stuff and headed into town one last time. This was when most of us split up and got our power shopping done. We had a 12:45 ferry so the morning went quickly.
It was indeed one of the best weekends. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. We woke up after our first day there sore from laughing. The house was everything I thought and wanted it to be.
Of course there are a few details I left out "What happens in Edgartown says in Edgartown"!
I did however stop by the Vineyard Vines store and was able to find the tote bag Suz was looking for. I was on a mission to find her that bag!
Pictures to come!
I will post pictures when I get them on the computer and the girls send their albums around.

vv mind set
Seersucker Sconset Shirts
Now this would be super cute under a black suit with a matching sash. Some might say it is a bit too much, but not for me.
Our house this week is less than a 2 minute walk from the Flagship Vineyard Vines store.

Watch out for the stones
So I'm throwing stones at my girls Suz for not blogging and then here I sit!
I thought you ladies would love to see the house we rented this weekend on the Vineyard!
How super Cape cute is this!
This screams "Kimba"
I can see 8 ladies enjoying
I love the red bucket next to the stove
We opted to go sans crib
Tell me the last time you slept in a bunk bed!
Remember 8 ladies....
OUTDOOR SHOWER!!!!! AND a barn star!
Grill..check...outdoor space...check.... 
Well there you have our little house for the weekend. I am so excited! We have the best group of gals going and the weather looks perfect!

Random
I'm going to be in and out of meetings for the next couple of days, I'm hoping to be able to post when I get home.
The weather here has warmed up and I am very happy about that. I finally do not look like a crazy woman standing waiting for the bus in my flip flops in a suit. Ok yeah I still do!
**While typing this I added a green sticky note to a document I was working on and attached it with a pink paperclip. Does that scream geek in the pink or way to much time on my hands, definitely not the latter! :)**
I have a hydrangea plan on my desk that I would love to keep here but am scared it will die over the long weekend. Taking it home would be pointless because no one will be there, any thoughts? Over water it on Friday and pray?
Well I am off to hit the gym, I might not be making much time for blogging but that does not mean I'm not making gym for the treadmill. Though I wish I was! :)

Where has the day gone?
Late post today!
The weekend was wonderful, quick but great! Though it was as Libby has described it was "a wash". But none of our plans were interrupted!
Friday was a very fun evening for J's birthday. When ever you can get parents and kids together it's always enjoyable.
Saturday I had a super cute and preppy baby shower for a lovely friend of ours. Every detail was to die for and she got a ton of preppy baby items for her preppy daughter on the way! After the shower we had some couples over, for a post baby shower party! Of course no one there was having a baby so it quickly turned into a mini dance party!
Sunday was a very low key day around the house, by that time I was pretty sick of the rain and was all set in dealing with going out anywhere.
I'm headed to the Vineyard this weekend and can not wait. It's J's bachelorette party and we've rented a house, needless to say this will be one tame week! Keeping my fingers we have a beach day!

Wedding Friday up in here
These are both Augusta Jones
Don't worry i would have a completely different sash. No bedazzling for me!
Why does the model look so pissed off?

Why does the model look so pissed off?And a happy Friday it is
Found the girls dress last night! Strapless, knee length,h A-line. This picture is exactly what I'm looking for (the strapless ones) navy with a light blue or white sash. I'm so undecided about the sash color, both look amazing! Good thing I have a lot of time!
A from Fave Couple and I had a blast. She was such a good sport, even twirled for me! I love all of the suggestions and advise she gave me. Definitely someone you want by your side!

Overnight bag
You all know there is always something funny that happens when you use public transportation. And today did not disappoint. I was sitting on the bus minding my p's & q's just reading away when this woman sits next to me read as on top of me. And sets her duffel down on top of her lap. I might have been a little cramped but hey it's not a long ride. Oh then I look over to her bag and it's open with her clothes hanging out. Bra, underwear the whole 9 yards, now it's not that big of a deal but it's just not something you see everyday. And it wasn't as bad for me as it was for the other 10 guys around us in suits trying not to stare.
Don't you love when it's 85' on a Wednesday and the forecast says 55'-65' for the weekend! New England baby New England!

Sox Tuesday
You know you have a good friend when they text you from some very fabulous seats at Fenway!
Not much blogging time but wanted to thank you all for the Cake Server idea's, I need to get one ordered by end of week to insure it arrives in time for the shower!
I just figured out this weekend will kickoff the crazy summer weekends Kimba will be enjoying. Of course the weekend events post will come later in the week, would hate to run out of things to blog about on a Tuesday!
Much love to my boy Blake on idol! And a sad goodbye to Gilmore Girls, it's been real ladies!

Speaking of wedding...
Our very own Mrs Peppy Wedding has out done herself again! She has come up with a Kimba & Music Guy (more Kimba thank you very much!) wedding storyboard. Big hugs to Jen for taking the time and finding some great ideas for my perfectly preppy wedding! Who would not LOVE whale truffles?
I love the use of Navy and White and of course I would like to have our own wedding monogram. I am keeping my very own storyboard in a very safe place!
Weekend:
We had a fabulous weekend.
Friday evening we spent the night out on the deck listening to some tunes and the Red Sox game. I also was able to catch up with Suz via our wireless devises. She is too much! :)
I got up early on Saturday and went over to Beacon Hill to check out the vineyard vines totes. If you remember I had posted about one being on hold for me and then when I went to pick it up it was gone. Well I saw the totes in the window and I have to say I am not really a fan. It is what they say. A classic tote with the pattern Beacon Hill Street Signs and green signs. I'm not sure what I was thinking it would look like but sure not that. So I'm on the fence with it.
After my trip to the old hood I set off for a great Saturday morning workout! After I got home we packed up and made our way south on Rt.3. We made great time and were able to catch the whole sox game when we arrived. Saturday evening was a normal evening when we're on the Cape great laughs and great food.
Sunday we all headed out on Music Guy's parents boat. It was a bit chilly but nothing a few fleeces couldn't take care of! It was so nice to be back out on the water. I am looking forward to this summer for so many reason that of which a big one!
We stayed over last night and headed back to the city first thing this morning. It only took us 2 hours to get back. Traffic was of course heavy around Hingham and again after the Braintree split but to be able to wake up and be on the Cape you'll take sitting in traffic. Well I did today, talk to me come July and I'm not so light on the subject!
All in all we had a very low key weekend which was needed. A freakishly busy week a head and of course my Sox play everyday this week and to the Tigers to boot. The last Gilmore Girls ever will air tomorrow night. Lots of emotion in my household. Thursday A from fave couple and I will head to Newbury Street to check out bridesmaid dresses. Should be fun! :)
**Please note I in no way get any kickback or perks for blogging about things I like, enjoy, am a fan of, got it!**

Wedding gift help
Is there a better place to turn when looking for shopping help let alone wedding shopping help?/!
I am looking for a wedding cake server set. I would like it to be fairly simple and be able to engrave it. Any thoughts?

A little late to the party!
Bloggin on a Saturday?/! About to head to the gym to crush the stair stepper! HA!
I finally was able watch our cute West Coast Gal Debbie on the Instant Beauty Pageant on the Style Network. Debbie and her BFF Nicole were TOO cute! How fun is it to sit down and watch TV and say "Oh that's Debbie" as if you are use to seeing her everyday!
I am not just saying this but the two of them where the best of them all. Just think of the other girls minus preppy add LA wanna be's.
Her B and Charlie (doggie) also made an appearance and it sealed the deal for the super cute family on the left coast thus far! Debbie did a great job and I hope if you haven't checked it out you are DVR'ing it now.
ok ok...gym here i come! giddy up!

GET ITWhy did she say no to Logan?
So I caught up on Gilmore Girls last night. And I am not happy to report Rory shot down my boy Logan. I haven't seen this weeks One Tree Hill so hopefully that will not also be a disappointment.
Heading to the Cape this weekend! We are also planning on staying over on Sunday night so that brings me to what to wear on Monday. My gal Suz and I have had endless conversations and laughs over Monday attire after a Hampton's or Cape weekend. On Friday it seems like a fab outfit, come Monday you look like a clown. You would think I could just pack a black suit and I'd be good to go. But no that is not the case.
I do about 99% of my packing on Thursday night as Friday I get picked up and we go. And when Thursday rolls around I feel a little more daring i.e. bright colors so I pack that way. There has been some bad combos, and shoes that's another issue. I can not tell you how many times I've left shoes either on the Cape or in the car. Yes I do have a box of shoes under my desk but that doesn't seem to help. I know I know, black shoes are black shoes.
Anywho, I am making myself only pack black suits for Mondays. Lets see how long that last!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the wonderful mums. Reading your stories about motherhood is very inspirational! Enjoy it's your weekend!

Dress me
To keep my blog ladies happy I thought i'd post some pictures of dresses I like!
Tell me your thoughts on the blue bottoms? Are they too "bridesmaid dress". I would like to see the dress in navy with the light blue bottom and light blue sash.
I like the top of this and thought it would be a cute way to have my maid of honor "stand" out. But again it might be a little to cute for my taste.
I really like how the sashes are tied on these dresses. I don't understand the multiple color sashes but some people like them. I am more of a matching type of chick!
If i had to pick a dress today i would go with the below dress with a light blue sash. I think it's classic and slimming for all.

Brightest Crayon in the box
I was thinking this morning while getting ready...Oh my gosh I get to meet the lovely Donna (KEP's Aunt) this fall in Nantucket.
Lucky me, getting to meet all my wonderful blog friends! Now when people ask "do you even know these people, have you even met?" I can say hell ya! :)

My Morning Joe
I turned on the TV this morning to do an onDemand workout video and the TV was on MSNBC to my surprise Joe Scarborough was doing the morning show. If you remember I am pretty fond of the Ex-GOP Congressman! Scroll to the bottom to get to the good stuff.
Seeing Joe on is like seeing Anderson Cooper in the morning for all you AC fans!
Didn't end up making it out to the Sail Loft last night. Long story.
My mom is headed to Palm Beach for a long weekend, now that does not suck. Even though it's Mother's Day weekend isn't it necessary for her to bring me something back? She and my aunt love to go into all the fun PB and Boca stores and send me pictures of things they think I would like. Cruel...simply cruel.
I have a feeling we'll be headed to the Cape for Mother's Day weekend, our Cape weekends could not come soon enough.
Not much else to report, a lot going on in the Kimba household so I'm hoping to be checking in to your blogs more than blogging myself. Unless something truly blog worthy comes up!

80'...check...Sail Loft...check....
I was so happy when I got home yesterday my gal Suz sent me the book Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. Who doesn't love a book that is based on the beach on the Vineyard.
It's suppose to be very nice all week in Boston. To kick off our 80 degree week I'm meeting J and Kateson at the Sail Loft after work. Any place on the water with a deck is fine by me. Let alone a place that has a deck that sits over the water!
And while typing this the mailroom just dropped off my JCrew order. Woohoo!!!
Hopefully you all have wonderful weather also!!!!

Won't make to a Beach read
I am about to place my order for "Bright Lights Big Ass" By Jen Lancaster
As you all know I LOVED Bitter is the new Black and can not wait to read Bright Lights. I also read on her blog she is writing book #3. If you haven't read Bitter it's a must read!
I finished Bitter in only a few days and i have a feeling Bright Lights will be like that so no sitting on the beach with this one. I need to figure out some others. Anyone have some good chick-lit suggestions?

Awww!
Nothing is better than checking out two great blogs first thing Monday morning and having them have such wonderful things to say about me! :)
As you know Saturday I hosted the blogging party and it was all I had hoped for. Libby and CBM along with A from Fave Couple came over to enjoy the Derby and some great blogging chatter! We all agreed that this is going to be a reoccurring event!
Of course you can tell by reading their blogs but Libby and CBM are truly the sweetest gals. It was fun to actually have a conversation about blogs and not try to justify your "blog friend" stories! hehe! And of course you guessed it we talked a lot about you guys! And discovered new blogs that I can't wait to read!

Click on over to both of their blogs for pictures of the evening! They are so good with taking pictures. It was a fabulous evening and I look forward to August and many more get events!
Thanks to Libby I had my first Mint Jelup, she's a good bartender! And if that was not enough CBM found the greatest little bar must have. Margaritas in a bucket, how perfect is that.
Cheers!

**I'd like to add Suz is my new phone buddy, she is just as hilarious on the phone/text as she is in her blog! All I have to say is that when Suz comes and stays with me it will be a sh*t show. Speaking of that, I will not explain what happen to me in the Target parking lot yesterday as it was pretty nuts, all i'll say is Suz would have your back in any cat fight!
***If I could I would listen to Chloe talk all day long, it's bloody awesome!

20% I got the best of you...
As I'm sure you all saw, JCrew did their 20% off their sale items. See below for the goodies I was able to trap in my shopping bag and buy before they were taken out. (Fingers crossed)
Cute white boatneck sweater i already have it in navy and now i have it in black and white, color Kimba color.
And these cute Critter chino shorts I'm a little scared on their fit but we'll just have to wait and see!
Also I'm noticing under the lights here in at my desk that my self tanner ends right at my wrist as if I was wearing gloves when I put it on. That's hot.

Sidebar help...
After my blogroll I wanted to add a different blogroll that is just for Boston Sports blogs, and well as you can see the alignment is not up to par.
Any suggestions?
Love,
What would I do without Chloe

Issue
I know I've spent my fair amount of time blogging about coffee, and I really don't even drink it.
Well this morning I had no time for Dunkin's (the thought) and just went to Starbucks for an iced coffee, I also had a gift card so that helped. Well I've had about 5 sips and I really think I'm going to have a heart banger. I have been drinking water like crazy to try to equal it out and my friends it is not doing the trick. I feel like I've downed a bottle of Hydroxycut, you know that heart racing, fast talking, head pounding feeling... That's me!
I hope to be back in a few a tad more settled down.

May + skirt = i'm freezing.
Thanks for all your fun comments you are truly the best!
I am doing my best to stay healthily. Music Guy is sick and everyone at work is hacking and thank god calling in sick. I am popping zinc like it is going out of style.
Not happy with the Sox game last night, hopefully tomorrow's game is better for our gal Libby.
In other commuting news: the bus was packed this morning and a lady was sitting on the outer seat so I asked if I could move in and she glared at me and said "I'm saving it for a friend". I was too shocked to even snip back with the really good come backs I thought of, while finding the only other seat between a guy who was on his cell phone talking really loud and a guy who was reading the paper and had both arms extended as if he was sitting at his kitchen table on Sunday morning.
I had a broccoli pasta Smart One in the fridge at work yesterday and when I went to get it at lunch it was of course missing. Stealing someones home made lunch or yogurt* is one thing but stealing a frozen Weight Watcher meal is a whole other. I have a tip for the frozen dinner stealer's. Go to Target and pick up your own they are a bargain at $1.77.
Now I know how E felt when her Slim Fast was taken, it's like for the love of god steal something worth it.
*no one better take my yogurt either

The coming together of Music Guy and Kimba
It was a super warm Saturday evening and Smarty Jones had won the Kentucky Derby earlier in the afternoon. My girlfriend Naomi (Nao) and I were on our way to meet up with this guy Denver I had gone a few dates with at Jillian’s and his college buddies. (That really was his name, not a blogging name)! We got there, went up to meet them at their table and had a few cocktails and ended up just talking to eachother.
At this point I had said a total of two words to this guy and thought what a jackass I don't need this. So Nao and I told him we were headed to the bathroom and slipped out the back door to Tequila rain which was not as annoying as he was but close.
We thought let’s try the Tiki Room there is no line and if someone is going to serve me a drink that needs three straws I’m in!
So Nao and I walked up to the bar and there was this guy standing there so of course by this time her and I had a few drinks so I said to him “You’re a babe” he looks back and me and says “Who me”, and then as if once wasn’t enough I said again “you’re a babe”. The first thing he asked me where I was from because of my accent, I said Wisconsin and he being from Michigan was impressed to be hit on by a Mid-Western girl!
The rest is as they say history or as I said details details details!
**Side note** Music Guy was there for a buddies birthday party, he is a big fan of Landsdown St when the Sox are not in town!
We spent the rest of the summer watching the Sox go on to win the World Series and the rest of the fall/winter watching the Pats win the Super Bowl. Boy did I think our relationship was good for our home town teams!
Music Guy also played music out at bars/clubs when we met so it was weird to show up and have chicks singing his songs back to him and having to be ok with it. But all in all it was fun! :)
That’s the short and sweet version!
