Massachusetts - Part I

We split our time last week between the city and the burbs, spending the first 3 nights downtown at the newly renovated Copley Square Hotel.

Strolling the streets of the South End, magically meeting fellow bloggers and indulging in some scrumptious summer fare.

An evening in the backyard of an old friend lasted into the wee hours of the morn.....

And a visit to the public gardens proving some things in this beautiful city never have to change.

We had a truly wonderful holiday south of the border. The best prescription for what ails us is rest and relaxation, sunshine, friends, and lots and lots of wine. Well, that's what I'm telling myself anyway....

Today, I'm ready for all that 2010 has to bring.
Tomorrow, we'll have to wait and see.

Yoo Hoo crazy life, come crash into me!

Scorcher

It was a cool 90 degrees in LA yesterday and over 100 at Universal Studios Hollywood {where I was entertaining the out of towners}. Luckily I wasn't above crashing their hotel pool for lemon drops and toe dipping.


Today will be more of the same but I'll have to rely on the AC and iced tea. Lots to do and more to come! Hopefully my announcement will be sooner rather than late's.
