Summer is Here

The last two days have been close to 90 degrees. For me, that's too hot. Especially in Massachusetts where the humidity makes the air feel thick. You sweat just thinking about going outside. I hope these few days isn't a projection of what the summer is going to be like. It's only May, and I don't think I can handle three more months of this. Personally, I'd like another month of mid to high 70s first. Here's to hoping...

Despite these last hot days, the weekend brought perfect weather, and I spent a good majority of it outside. I went on a hike (read: nature walk) with two of my friends, and I volunteered at the Run for Home Base 9K on Sunday. After the race I got to walk around the warning track at Fenway park, and it was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Lindsay even stole some dirt.

Overall, it was an awesome weekend. I'm looking forward to the upcoming one as well, since we'll be in Vermont, and it's a long weekend! Oh annnd my mother-in-law-to-be and sister-in-law-to-be arrive this afternoon! Too bad my apartment isn't as clean as I'd like...

Right Place, Right Time

Wednesday night I found myself at the Red Sox game. I had planned on spending the night at home, watching the Biggest Loser from the night before and maybe having eggs for dinner, if I even got that creative. But after work I went to Happy Hour for a friend's birthday and ended up getting free tickets to the Sox game that night. Even though it rained and was a little cold, the seats were amazing and it was worth being damp for a few hours.

I took my sister, since the hubs-to-be was M.I.A. and we enjoyed a hot dog and a beer. I have never sat so close to the field, and I cannot thank the guy at the bar who didn't want his tickets  enough (he works for East Coast Tickets and so generously gave them to me). I was the only one at the table who didn't have something else already planned for the evening, and I'm glad I didn't! It worked out perfectly that I could go and I had a great time. It was really a classic right place, right time moment!
