Speaking of holidays, Columbus Day is a great day to not go to work! I gotta say, Harvard knows their holidays. I can't even remember the last time I got Columbus Day off at school. In celebration of the big day, so far I have planned my voyage back to the great Columbus Ohio. Next thing on the list is going to Target, often a pasttime of mine in Columbus. I'm in Framingham today, holding down Scott's apartment while he's at work. This town is strip mall heaven, so I gotta take advantage of that. Framingham also has a huge Brazilian population, so maybe April would find that exciting. So far I've only seen creepy Brazilian guys that make a point of staring & honking at me when I'm walking from the commuter rail station, so I haven't been very excited about them. But maybe there's some hot ones hiding around here somewhere.
Scott & I went to an apple orchard this weekend, so today I will also attempt my 1st apple pie, this could be scary! I have one of those apple cutters to help a bit... which always reminds me of Liz in the lunchroom. We did see some fall folliage at the orchard & last weekend, although I think we jumped the gun going to NH last weekend, this weekend was probably the peak of the colors. Here's a picture from last weekend at the White Mountain Forest in NH.
Jenna, your pictures arrived safe and sound, VERY CUTE! They're on my frig.
You won't believe it Liz... I did some Christmas shopping yesterday! LOL We went to Quincy Market, got my bro & Josh Boston shirts, etc. There were some great end of the outdoor cart shopping season deals.
I think I've got some ideas for the Christmas list. The theme is small stuff I use everyday. Unlike my tard maneuver last year for Jenna, please don't get me anything big like a griddle! My life now involves lots of walking, bus riding, and cold weather! I have seriously worn out shoes since I've moved here. My dad will be proud :)
1. SOCKS! Seriously, tons of not white socks, esp. one's that will match brown shoes.
2. BOOKS! I know, you've never seen this one from me before, hah. I read everyday on the bus now, so I'm going through them pretty fast. Used books, new books, whatever. Just anything that you think I will like. Preferably paperback books, or anything not too heavy. I'm all about light-weight books
3. MUSIC :) Such as burnt CDs I could add to my mp3 player. I've already bought the new Jewel CD, anything else you've got is fair game.
4. Rubber bumpers for my car. Hehe, jk... My bumpers are taking a terrible beating, damn this street parking.
5. Cold weather gear. I've heard this is the windiest city in the country, even more so than Chicago. I'm not gonna take up that argument, but regardless, I'm gonna be freezin my arse off all winter.
6. Maybe a new tote bag. I'm carrying the black Lancome bag everyday. It gets the job done, but if you see an awesome bag that's big enough to hold my purse, book, mp3 player, & lunch. I know, that's kinda hard to visualize.
7. Anything else small... you all know me!
OK, time to shower up and head out to Target.
~Happy Columbus Day!~
