sunday, bloody (awesome) sunday

This weekend was epic in many ways. One of these ways was that I could finally drive around with people in my car. I've had to drive around in my car all by myself for the past 6 months (thanks to Massachusetts state law) and it was fun to hear people in my car who weren't Shakira or Devendra Banhart. I spent the better part of my weekend with Jesse and Kylie, driving up to the park with a box of cold pizza, a tin of banana chips, and some leftover sushi - all-in-all a very good picnic. We also discovered a few new shops at the mall, including an AMAZING Indian clothing store where I (kinda) went crazy buying bangles in every color. I guaranteed the people working there that "I would be back." We also made a stop at Petco because Kylie wanted to look at the animals, which I realized happened to have a missing section in my portfolio. The freedom and cruising around with my buds really was a tease for the freedom to come with the end of the school year and the beginning of my Senior summer!

NTMM (note to my Mother) The last picture was taken while I was stopped in a parking lot NOT while I was driving. 

Brandon Flowers Concert

(Military jacket found at an army store in Maine, J.Jill sweater, Free People lace slip, MIXIN 06 boots, thrifted hat)

I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. I know mine was stuffed with stuffing, mashed potatoes, a too-small-for-16-people turkey and a HUGE apple pie!

The Killers have been one of my favorite bands for years and when Oakley told me that Brandon Flowers had made a solo album I got a little scared and little excited. The album ended up being great so we decided to go see him in Boston. Oakley and I spend the day after Thanksgiving in Boston. Before heading to the Boston House of Blues we went for sushi at Fin in Kenmore Square and explored in Boston until 5 when we got in line and met some pretty interesting characters including a college student in a bear hat named Max. We had a great time even before the concert started. I do love the city; Boston is definatly on my list of places that I want to live...after New York City that is. The concert itself was amazing. A band from San Deigo opened for Brandon called "The Tranfer." They ended up being really good so I bought their CD after the concert and even got to meet them (I even hugged the lead singer!) Brandon was even more amazing than I thought he was going to be. He played my favorites; "Only the Young," "Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts," and "Crossfire." We stayed after the show ended to see if we could meet him before he got on his bus (which we are touching in the last picture) but unfortunatly he had skipped out and gone to dinner right after he got of stage. We were very disappointed about this, but we had an AMAZING time in Boston.

Plans for the night? Hmm...I'm finally going to see Burlesque with Lexii and Jacky tonight at 7 should be fun seeing as I have been dying to see this movie for weeks!

It's Never Too Cold For Sushi

I just got back from Market Basket with my mom. We picked up our turkey and everything for tomorrow. We even got sushi! As I was bringing in the food from our car I thought

Do I really want to eat sushi on such a cold day? Of course I do!

Man do I love food shopping...not really. The sushi was good though.

Last night I was at Dollar Tree getting some more tape for my mom. I'm standing in line and this guy behind me is talking on his cell to his mom. Me being, the nosey idiot I am, decided to amuse myself by listening to his conversation. The first thing I hear out of his mouth is "No, mom, I'm not smoking pot anymore!" I legit had to hug myself to keep from laughing. As soon as I paid and left I laughed SO HARD!

Yeah...and then I found $10

So Christmas is tomorrow and I am so pumped! We've got the whole family coming over along with some close family friends. It should be a blast. I do love Christmas.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
