Christmastime in NYC

I spent the weekend in NYC with Juliet and dragged her all around the city to see all of the beautiful store windows and Christmas decorations. I also met up with Eva and Alex and gave them their Christmas mice. Eva and Alex, both being Jewish, appreciated their candy cane and green and red mice as much as anyone would, given the circumstances. Next year I will make pink and blue mice.

Here is a sampling of photos in no particular order:

Done!

On Friday at 4:30 pm, I finished my finals! I am half way done with law school! I celebrated with good law school friend on Friday night before packing all day on Saturday. I am off to Connecticut today for the holidays!

It has been a while!

It has been nearly a month since I last posted. Truthfully, I have not done very much of interest. Finals are finished tomorrow. I'll save you the details but suffice it to say that if you want to incorporate a business, admit hearsay evidence or fight terrorism, I am currently the woman to talk to.

Off to Connecticut on Sunday.

October Third Thursday Social

Last Thursday was the Tufts Third Thursday Social, sponsored by the Boston Tufts Alliance (of which I am the Vice President of Social Programming!). The event was at An Tua Nua in Kenmore Square and it was a lot of fun catching up with people and meeting new people!

On the hay ride!

Tufts Homecoming

Well, yesterday was Tufts Homecoming. Those of you who know me well know that I am a bit of a Tuftsfan so Homecoming is usually one of my favorite days of the year. However, it rained all day which put a bit of a damper on things. Liz, Thad and I still had a good time poking around but the spirit just wasn't there.

it was rather rainy

But Tufts did win in the end so all was not lost!

Boston Tufts Alliance Harbor Cruise

Wednesday night was the Boston Tufts Alliance Harbor Cruise. We had a nice 2 hour boat ride around Boston Harbor with a group of almost 200 Tufts alums!

When evening falls....

... on the Cape and there is nothing else do it- the Game of Life it is!

the Game of Life- where the only two professions it pays to have is Doctor and Entertainer

Juliet had a car FULL of girls.

Beach

After the Scallop Festival, K, J and I headed to K's beach house and took a little detour for some sand and ice cream. We walked onto this fairly deserted beach. To our right was a group of three ladies, maybe in their 40s, sitting and laughing and talking about life. Kelly said, "It's kinda like we are looking at the future, huh?" Then we looked to our left and there were three teenage girls sitting up in the life guard tower giggling. Juliet said, "Kinda like looking into the past, isn't it?" Very funny and strange moment :)

Cape Cod!

Kelly, Juliet, Katie and I met up on Cape Cod this weekend for a little reunion. We headed to a scallop festival complete with games and, well, scallops.

It was Katie's birthday last week and our little group of friends wrote similies about her (for example: Katie is as pretty as a perky pomeranian... I don't know) and then Kelly and I transferred them to an apron and decorated it for her. She is pointing to the one that said that Katie is as smart as a rocket scientist, but I would not go that far :)

No one ever looks flattering in these kinds of photos yet, I still made us do one.

Kelly was the only one who actually played a game.

Jane and Zach come to Boston!

Jane and Zach came to Boston with Jane's parents this weekend. We had a FULL Boston Saturday starting with a duck tour of Boston. Then we walked along the Freedom Trail, stopping along the way for Boston cream pie at the Omni Parker House and clam chowder at the Union Oyster House. For dinner Mr and Mrs Calder were nice enough to stand in line for us at Giacomo's in the North End while Jane, Zach and I circled for a parking space (and never found one and had to drive back to the hotel and take a cab back to the restaurant). It was a really fun day!

Jane and her favorite Patriot, Sam

Jane shares many of the same qualities as Sam Adams.

At dinner

Michelle and Erich's Wedding

Our good friends, Michelle and Erich, got married in Rocky Hill, CT this weekend. Then they had a lovely reception on the coast at Westbrook, CT.

CONGRATULATIONS to them both!

We also got a nice opportunity to spend some time with our other good friends, Tim and Sara, who flew in from CA! We stayed with Tim's aunt after the wedding and had a great time catching up. Tim and Sara were also recently engaged and will be getting married next August. However, I have no pictures of the two of them with their eyes open. This one is cute though :)

Juliet, Dave and Me at the Christian Science Center

Juliet came down on Thursday to see her friend, Dave, who had come in from England to see Boston. So what does one do on a Thursday night- why sit by the reflecting pool at the Christian Science Center and take silly photos!
