hi. you know what?

i think my love affair with boston is over. yay!

for awhile, recently, i was kinda missing boston. missing my favorite restaurant, the franklin cafe. missing riding my bike around and looking at the awesome view of the city from the mass ave bridge. shopping at filene's basement and H&M.

but then...

...i went there. and i had all these plans to visit my favorite places and i did that but it was no big whoop. i realized that the world is getting smaller and smaller and that the things that i can get in boston are all available here to me in san francisco. but of course, the only thing i can't get here in SF is my boston friends.

last thursday i went out with teresa, mirta, donna and my former intern lauren. we went to this new place in cambridge called middlesex. it was very west coast for boston/cambridge. they had this open floor plan with a bar in the back and these no-back-couches and tables that had wheels. so when its time for dancing you just push the couches up against the wall! so cool. they also had yummy "tapas" food, which i guess now is a misconception. its all just really bar food in a new healthy-ish style. we drank a bunch and then mirta, lauren and i went over to the enormous room for some dancing and pomegranate margaritas. hi. yum. after more drinking we went back to mirta's and baked pillsbury crescent rolls. hi. yum.

the rest of my week there i connected with some more friends tried to do some shopping. dude, the moroccan look is in boston too! mostly tho, i was kinda down. the weather was crap. cold-ish and rainy THE WHOLE TIME. i ate a lot of crap food. i don't think a vegetable passed my lips all week! and now i am paying the bloated-carb-laden price.

so it was nice to have a warm sunny day to come home to!

oh and...i cut my hair off.
