well, it's a blizzard!

guys, i think there's a blizzard here in boston.

i can't tell if the snow is blowing up, down, or sideways - but there's a lot of it. we are so lucky mom got here yesterday - the flight she would have been on today was cancelled, and by 6pm the T was shut down and gov. patrick ordered all cars off the roads - and a $500 fine for anyone caught driving (including cabs).

we slept in, had a pot of coffee, and laughed to gag reel of the office all morning before deciding to venture out to buy bailey's for our coffee :)

EVERYTHING was closed. i can't say enough how strange it was to walk down newbury street while it is deserted -
no people on the sidewalks, no lights in the shops and no cars in the street. we found a liquor store still open, grabbed out booze and haven't left the loft since.

we still have power for now but strangely our internet has been flickering... it will be very interesting to see what we wake up to tomorrow...

it's not so bad out here!

thank you nemo

unless you live under a rock, you have probably heard a thing or two about the 'worst of all time' blizzard named nemo heading towards the northeast.

like i was mentioning the other day, my mom is supposed to get here tomorrow, right around the same time nemo should be hitting new england - HARD.

so after bugging my mom for most of the day yesterday to change her travel plans, jet blue issued a travel alert for the northeast and her flight was changed from tomorrow to today, a whole day early!  she should be here in about three and a half hours.  after i pick her up from the airport we will have to stop by trader joe's for some weekend provisions in case we get snowed in. 

we have a lot of great plans for the weekend - shopping on newbury street, dinner at stella, brunch at gaslight, and a birthday surprise for mom that i can't share just yet.  it's our combined birthday weekend [hers was in december, mine is next week] so we are going to celebrate together and have a great time.  

thank you, snowstorm nemo, for bringing my mom out here early to hang out with me! 

stay safe and warm out there!
