Margs, Bars, and Rants!

Time for a real post!

Since I've been in Boston I've been keeping busy! Thursday me and my sister headed into the airport to pick up Betty. And we've been non-stop since!

Thursday night we went to Margaritas. A huge group was supposed to go...but all by one bailed on me (another post for another day!) and we ran into my cousin and his wife there. It was a small but very fun group! I can't remember if I had three or four margaritas....which means I probably had four!


Me and Betty are apparently awful packers. So, we spent all day Friday at the mall with my sister. We got some super cute outfits for our Boston nights!

Friday night was Betty's first Boston experience! We started at Beerworks, froze on the walk to Hong Kong (no jackets for us....) and then danced the night away at Hennessys. It was my sisters first night at the Boston bars too...and I think they both really liked the band! We had so much fun! And, of course, took a ton of pictures!


We spent Saturday resting up our livers. Then we headed into Boston with my family. We had dinner at Jacob Wirths, I had super yummy German food (even though everyone said it looks gross I swear it was delicious!) Then we headed to a comedy show...Wayne Brady! It was so funny. I had to pee twice just so I wouldn't pee my pants! I thought he was hilarious! We only managed to get one picture because we were forced to put all cameras and phones away. I wish I had a picture of my outfit...it was so-damn-cute!


After the show we headed to a Chinese restaurant near home. This is where the drama unfolds. I am 25, with a military ID, with my entire-freaking-family....and they would not accept my ID. I ordered a pina colada, not exactly a super potent drink...was asked for my ID, handed it to her...and she walked away. She came back and said she could only accept a MA license. So, I was angry and started ripping out random cards from my wallet....none that she would accept. Little-Miss-Manager came over and was like NO. So, we go up front and I pulled the "our husbands protect our country" line...and was still refused. I go to the bartender, he looks at me like I have ten heads and says "of course we accept it." I was pisssssed. Wasn't even that I wanted my drink but seriously...accept my effing ID or we are going to cause a scene. [end rant]

We still have so much planned while Betty is here! We have one day of completely free stuff in the city. Tomorrow might be a resting day after our super busy weekend! Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!

Movies that Make Me Miss Home

Last night  me and Danny saw Grown Ups. I should have known that since it was an Adam Sandler movie that it was going to take place in New England. I should have expected to see things that I recognize. But, I didn't. In the middle movie they eat dinner at Woodman's....and suddenly I wished that I was home. I miss cool New England nights, I miss the awesome fried clams at Woodman's...and I miss the live music (Jeff Fraser!) at Woodman's. I remember taking my Mom to Woodman's on Mother's Day a few years ago..we literally had to wait in lline for TWO HOURS to eat those delicious fried clams!

Other movies that make me miss home? Mall Cop. What an awful movie. But it was filmed at the Burlington Mall. It was so weird to see MY mall decorated for Christmas in the spring. We were always on the look out for Kevin James. My sister was an extra in the movie..and my aunt has an awesome picture of Kevin James with his Mall Cop mustache.

The Proposal. It was filmed in Rockport, the wedding band was Men in Black..headed by Jeff Fraser (my favorite local musician!) I was so so so so so excited to see the movie and see  the band. But their scene was cut! The day the DVD came out, I couldn't wait to watch the extras. NOTHING! This picture is proof that they were in it! And this link proves I know the band..oh hey, is that me in 12th picture?!?


Fever Pitch. I remember the night The Sox beat the Yankees. We lit the quad on fire at my college. It was amazing. Watching that movie reminds me of that amazing night. 

Other things that make me miss home? Life is Good shirts (Bert was the speaker at my college graduation!) Sam Adams (does that even need an explanation) New Kids on the Block, Duck Tours, Red Sox and people who drop their "r's.

Ah, thinking of home makes me want to share these pictures. I spent every Friday night at my favorite Boston bars. Lot's of alcohol was consumed. Don't judge!
