The Bed Times

as you know, I love granny style.
Photobucket

but lately I seriously am a grandma. nothing sounds better than going to bed at 8:30 p.m. I look forward to those evenings strictly devoted to reclining on the couch, then in my bed.

last night I had the opportunity to go out drinking with pals in Black Kids and Mates of State. no. I reluctantly went backstage where I drank a Poland Springs, refusing several offers of Jameson and Sam Adams. I did help myself to the carrot sticks. (the first vegetables I've eaten in about a week.) then skipped out to go home at 12:30 instead of going to Bleacher Bar.

here's Mary hanging out like a cool 26 year-old.

here's Jon and Owen cleaning out the fridge. in the foreground you see my water bottle.

somehow I managed to age 40 years in a matter of months.

on Sunday, friends from Austin were playing a show at TT's. they asked to crash on my floor while in Boston. figured it could be nice as I haven't seen Logan in 4 years.
Photobucket

after their show they literally had to put me in the van and make me go to The Model kicking and screaming. when we got home I shushed them for an hour. did I mention I haven't seen them in 4 years?

honestly, one Simply Sleep and 10-14 hours of uninterrupted sleep is an awesome Friday night. just gotta make sure the sleep marathon is in the privacy of my own home.

my bed is just too wonderful. I've had the same one for 4 years. I have created my ultimate sleep oasis. of anywhere I could possibly sleep I would pick my bed. it helps that Chip Munk snuggles next to my face every night. occassionally Biff will join.

good times

I think preferring to sleep in your own bed means you are an adult. now I must work on being an adult and not a senior citizen.

Goodnight, Coon

a magical (and somewhat true) bedtime story.

once upon a time I was cat cuddling.
Photobucket
and I met the sweetest and fluffiest Maine Coon Cat.
his name is Simon.
Photobucket
we bonded and I thought about taking him home to be my very own.
but I already have 3 sweeties.
Photobucket
I was sad because I love Maine Coons.
Photobucket
then a friend of mine told me he met a Maine Coon who looked like my Biff.
Photobucket
this made me very excited.
Photobucket
could Biff be one of these magical creatures?!
Photobucket
I read and read and read about Maine Coon Cats.
Photobucket
and found out Biff is part Maine Coon and part Panda.
Photobucket
and Muffin is part Maine Coon and part Alpaca.
Photobucket
how wonderful to have 2 Maine Coons in my life!
now I'm getting sleepy.
Photobucket
p.s. they lived happily ever after.

who's your paddy?

I know a lot of Irish people live in Boston. is St. Patrick's Day as big of a deal in other parts of the country? idk.
Photobucket

I just looked up "St. Patrick's Day" on wikipedia. the first St. Patrick's Day parade was held in Boston in 1761. but the first "recorded" St. Patrick's Day parade was in NYC in 1762... if wikipedia knows the first parade was in Boston a year earlier then how is that not recorded?

just food for thought.
Photobucket

so SPD is the national holiday of Ireland. as pretty much the only non-Irish person in Boston, I'm wondering why don't we celebrate Święto Państwowe (the national holiday of Poland)?
Photobucket

very interesting, Ameryka.
Photobucket

you may think that the picture below is of Ireland.
Photobucket
...it's Poland!

And Nathan is really this tall:

boxing at the Shepard Fairey party
Photobucket

a friend of mine sent me this picture
Photobucket
she said it reminded her of me and Casey... I don't know if that was supposed to be a compliment? I guess if we were wax figures or manicured to the point of no return we might look like that.

this year I'm trying to read more books. since the new year I've read a few gems.

Photobucket
Photobucket
(fabulous books to read before bed)

I want to apologize to my roommate in advance.
