The Boston Pops were giving a free show on the Common last Sunday!
So my friends and I loaded up our picnic baskets with snacks and blankets, hopped on the T and set up shop. It was a lovely afternoon (despite the misty weather), and I am looking forward to our next Bostonian adventure!
I'm not sure if I love them because I love Duran Duran, or if I don't because I think they should do their own thing...Eh, I love 'em. Also, there are various versions of Skeleton Boy, collect them all! (Or at least, check them out.)

You know how some people put up blog posts that are completely and utterly uninteresting to anyone but themselves? Yeah, this is going to be one of those posts. Sorry.
Last night for dessert Brad and I had candy corn (or in Brad's case Mellowcreme Pumpkins) and baked apples for dessert. And it was autumn-y and wonderful.
I wasn't able to take a picture...we ate them too quickly, but they looked something like this via:
The apples reminded me of one of the activities published in the newsletter sent out to members of the American Girl Club. It was an article about throwing a fall themed party in Samantha's time. There were party gifts hidden in walnut shells, stuffed baked apples and Victorian games. Very cute. Do you remember that?? Why did they get rid of it? And Samantha. Seriously. WTF, Pleasant Company? Probably because they realized it didn't stop little girls from growing up to write things like "WTF" in their blogs. I digress.
Make baked apples this fall. It satisfies the soul.
I suppose I could go to class and clean my apartment from time to time this month too.
Also, HOW CUTE IS THAT LITTLE "HELLO SEPTEMBER" IMAGE?! The other images on the site are mostly those mushy things that are made into bumper stickers on facebook...but this one is just so cute!
The little lady who authors Home Says Hello, my cousin/best friend Christina, has included me in her list of Versitle Bloggers! Hooray! It's quite an honor coming from her since I enjoy her blog so much! She's got mad web design skills and excellent taste to go with them, making her blog a joy to stumble up on even before you've read any of the posts. And then you know she's really something special when you read her humorous, honest, and useful posts.
I appears to be the case that in order to accept this acclamation I must list 7 things about myself. This is going to be hard since this blog is pretty much about me (God, that's narcissistic). Let's see if I can find some novel material for this.
1. The thing all of my friends have in common is the fact that they are excellent critical thinkers, even though I'm not the best at it. I suppose it's a little selfish of me, but hey, we can't all be chiefs, somebody's got to just be part of the tribe, right? Philosophers, lawyers, writers, historians and the like are my people.
2. My sisters and I believe that "Music is a kind and truthful speech, in a language out of mere words reach." -Sigma Alpha Iota Chorale
3. I love to sing, and I can carry a tune okay, but my voice isn't actually that pleasant. So, I sing for as long as I can whenever I'm home alone.
4. I am currently suffering the side effects of a Hepatitis B vaccination, with a runny nose, a sore throat, and the feeling that I've recently had a swift kick in the back.
5. There is a show called Parking Wars on hulu that has caused me to foster an appreciation and a soft spot for parking meter attendants in my heart.
6. I call my immediate family daily.
7. My dad just got a new job that will be A LOT less stressful than his old one, and that makes me VERY happy!
Can I get back to you on the people I'd like to tag? Cool.
