FavoriteCousin invited me to a show coming up in September at Bimbo’s in SF. I was intrigued by the performer – Carmen Consoli – who is a Sicilian singing sensation. Apparently she’s won a lot of Italian MTV awards, as well as their version of the Grammys.
I love going to shows at Bimbo’s [...]

This post is long overdue – LC (my sister) and I had our sister day/John Mayer concert last Saturday, but I haven’t had time to write this post until now.
The best part about the day was that LC and I got to spend it together. Because we each have such full, rich lives and [...]
The Smile Award

Geggie gave me the Smile Award. I was completely surprised, and I have to say, when I read her blog and saw that she’d given it to me, I did smile from ear to ear. So sweet! I have learned so many things from reading Geggie’s blog – I found Goodreads.com, a simple way to [...]
Put on your pearls, girls!

(I got the title for this post from this charming little book, which I have displayed in my bathroom: )
I knew I needed to get some sort of spectacular necklace for the dress that I bought for CTLB’s wedding, but I wasn’t sure which direction to go in. I talked it over with my mom, [...]
I got a dress!
Posted in excitement, friends, happiness, inspiration, journey, life, shopping, summer, vacations, weight loss on July 25, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I thought I was going to wear the Cabi dress to CTLB’s wedding. It was my inspiration outfit, after all. I knew that if I could fit into that dress, which is a size 16, I would have lost a significant amount of weight. Well, I tried the dress on and it [...]
Via iPhone

I just found out that WordPress now has an application for the iPhone!
This is so cool because it means I can blog while I’m in Boston. Almost like a travel log.
That’s all for now. I just wanted to test this feature out.
Even their hobbies are cool!

I’ve been finding out little tidbits about the people I work with throughout my summer fellowship, and I have to say, they are a very interesting group of people.
For example:
My mentor (summer boss) co-founded Wired magazine. How cool is that?! I found this out from a bio she wrote for an end-of-summer slideshow presentation that [...]
“New” Author I Love – Laurie Notaro
Posted in Italian, books, life, new discoveries, reading, review, writing, tagged Laurie Notaro on July 21, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So Laurie Notaro isn’t new, in fact she’s been writing for over 10 years, but I recently found out about her. I was searching another book on Amazon.com and one of Laurie’s books came up as a “people who bought that book also bought this book” selection. I loved the retro image on the cover [...]
Mamma Mia!
Posted in family, friends, fun times, happiness, life, movies, tagged Mamma Mia on July 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Tomorrow night my friends and I and our moms are going to go see Mamma Mia. I’m actually really excited about going to see this movie, even though I am not an ABBA fan, nor have I ever seen the musical.
One of my friends is a HUGE fan of the musical, and she’s seen it [...]
World Market Whirlwind

I was out with FavNeighbor and her husband today, looking for a patio set for our backyard. We went to Cost Plus World Market, where we found this awesome 5-piece pub set (high, bistro-type table & 4 stools) for $149, but decided that we wanted to look around a bit more before getting it.
Anyway, [...]
Weekend WrapUp

This weekend flew by because I have two major events planned.
The first was my niece’s 1st birthday party. I can’t believe she’s already 1! Time really does go by so quickly, although it shouldn’t surprise me, because most of this last year is a complete blur. My sister organized a really nice [...]

My new iPhone 3G!!!!!!
Somehow I didn’t realize how much of a story getting this iPhone was going to be. But then again, I can turn anything into a story, right?
I went to the Apple store that’s about 10 minutes from my house, in a very busy mall. I got there at 7:45am, [...]
Guess What I’ll Be Doing Early Friday Morning?
Posted in big purchase, birthdays, excitement, life, tagged iPhone 3G on July 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
For my birthday my parents gave me the money to buy the new iPhone 3G, and I’ve been counting down the days ever since.
I have no idea how crowded the Apple stores will be at 8am tomorrow morning when they open. I’m having terrible visions of people already camped outside, sitting [...]
