The Beginning: Get Ready for a LOT of Stuff

Way too much awesomeness to discuss here. Let’s just say, I contacted the curator, and they’re meeting with me next week to help me design my own preservation project with their collection. Wha???!!! Good things are happening here 🙂

Annie found a snake. Hannabeth ran away, Cherie laughed, and I took pictures.

A party at my friend, Bridget’s, house. This is me and her boyfriend, Khaushik.

Bigger and even more beautiful than I anticipated.

Lots of leaves and headstones to explore.

This is the front door at Orchard House, Louisa May Alcott’s home. The girl had taste.

The hurricane from my front window. I wanted to experience the “fury” of the weather, so I walked two blocks to the grocery store and bought cilantro for my roommate, just so I could walk against the wind.

I found this last week and can’t stop looking at it. I want a giant one to hang in my living room.

“The King.” That’s the name of this bodacious burger. Peanut butter, bacon, cinnamon, and fried bananas. It. Was. Scrumpscious.

Yes, cemetery. One of THE most gorgeous places I’ve ever been to that exists in real life. I would totally have my some-day wedding reception here. Is that weird?

Henry David and I just having a laugh. That guy can tell some zingers.

Cherie, me, Annie, Hannabeth. We’re together a lot.

It’s happening. I’m actually, finally, really, truly starting a blog. I thought the Parent Group and the sibs would appreciate it since I’m so far away from every one now. I have a lot to say. Too much for now.

So I’ll take the easy way out in an effort to help you “catch up” and just post a bunch of pictures from my first month here in Boston. Also, I fell in love with this castle last weekend when I was in Gloucester, MA. It was built  in the 1920s by John Hays Hammond Jr.–an absolute genius, inventor of remote control…and perhaps one of the most eccentric people I’ve ever learned about. All weirdy-ness aside, the man acquired a fascinating collection of European artifacts, and I got to talk with the curator for over an hour about all of it.

Anyway, that’s a post for another day. Enjoy the pictures and please pressure me if you don’t see a new post up at least every week. I need peer pressure to do good things.
