list on a monday...

merchants row, boston

i've been writing/editing all evening, and so my tired brain can't handle any more prose. how about a good old fashioned list?

~it was a good, good weekend. we totally burb'ed it out on saturday night at a mall and a chain restaurant (something we don't often do, but every once & again is bliss :). we even managed to have a romantic & lovely dinner sitting at the bar of p.f. changs. 

~i love monday night tv. dancing with the stars + castle. yes, please. 

~all i want to do when the weather turns cold is eat carbs. 

~dan is up to his eyeballs in projects/papers & feeling the pressure. pray for him if you think of it. thanks, gang. 

~thursday we leave for nyc! a long weekend back "home." sigh. 

~if you happen to be in nyc on sunday 11/14, stop by rockwood music hall at 7:30 where i'll be singing harmonies for my pal, aimee.

~there is something on etsy called a treasury in which a member (such as myself) can curate a grouping of listings into a masterful mosaic of loveliness using a certain theme or idea (such as "magic" or "red squirrels"). these treasuries are then perused by etsy staff for front-page worthiness, and if you so happen to be included in that front-page treasury, your product is then seen by *thousands.* i, myself, have never achieved front-page status, dangit, but i have been included in many beautiful & impressive treasuries. like this one today. and here is my one & only attempt at making one. 

~this list is pretty prose-y after all. oh well. goodnight.

The List.

I know I keep referring to this elusive "list" without ever really sharing what's on said list, so I thought I'd post it and let you in on all of my New York dreams and goals to accomplish before leaving in just one short week. (you might note that most things revolve around food & entertainment, and that many are things I've already done before. what can I say? I like good food and good fun and therefore try to fill my life with those two things as often as possible :). In no particular order:
