  3A Takes Boston by Storm Blue Man Never the Same This weekend, as many of you may know- two of my college roommates came to visit.
I picked friend 1 (Miffie) up at the airport at 10PM on Thursday evening and friend 2 (Monnie) drove into town the next morning. My two other college roommates were not able to come (Jen and Sara) but they were there in Spirit.
It is one of my long term goals for this here website to have digital pictures available for you to see what I do and how I do it, but for today you will have to use your imagination. On Friday morning Miffie and I went to procure pancakes at the local deli. I had some gorgeous french toast topped with strawberries and bananas. Miff had french toast with strawberries and I believe she enjoyed it. Following this foray into culinary delight, Miff and I walked through Coolidge Corner to the party shop to browse n' buy Halloween costumes.
I bought a hot pink and black feather boa and some horns. Miff bought an enormous, two foot high beehive wig. It was fantastic. We returned to my apartment and welcome Monnie to Boston. She arrived at approx. noon. That afternoon we battled traffic to Salem, MA and walked through the madness that prevails in Salem during the last 2 weeks in October (Haunted Happenings).
I bought a magic wand from the Salem Witches Education Association. So far no luck making my laundry do itself. Will keep you informed. The 3A girls then battled back through traffic to Boston, climbed into our Halloween costumes (makeup, clothes, boots, beehives) and trooped off to the Birch Street Bistro in Roslindale to eat great food and super wine with one of my favorite waiters, Joshua McCarey. He was dressed as the Cowardly lion, but the way he handled plates was anything but cowardly! He was not our waiter so we were able to watch him without bias. While at the Bistro we also saw Char Ann who was there visiting her son (also one of my favorite waiters) with her husband and friend. Then Lisa who showed up to see her boyfriend who is also Char Ann's son. Confusing? Maybe.
Stay with me. We polished off 2 bottles of wine,I ate duck for the first time (I tried not to have visions of donald or daisy or Hewey) and then had desert. Very good food at the Bistro. I suggest you go there and eat. After we ate, we packed into the car and headed downtown to hang out at Lansdowe Street. We wanted to go to Jillians but there was a wait. So we went to Jake Ivories instead. Some guy bought us beer because we looked bored so we danced to look less bored. Shortly thereafter we went home. Saturday morning we rose and scooted off to Sorellas for breakfast. I had a delicious omelet and Monnie and Miffie both had pancakes. Following our late breakfast/lunch we drove to the Tstop and went to walk down Newbury street.
We walked down Newbury street until I had to run away an d go to a yoga appointment. They met me after my appointment and we down to the North End to eat dinner and then go see the blue men. Dinner was a bit frustrating, as there was no where to eat in the North End without a 2 hour wait. So we had pizza at Panino XP and then headed off to the show. I wont tell you anything about Blue Man.
EXCEPT to say that I gave him the candy bar. OH YES I DID. On Sunday we woke up and ate donuts while watching Identity (SO WEIRD). At about 1 we had a birthday cake and presents party since all three of us had birthdays. Then, we took Miffie to the airport and Monica and I lapsed into longwinded conversation that lasted until about 8 when she was forced to leave. All in all a super fun visit and I am glad for it! Thank you Monica and Miffie for coming to visit me!
