Commuting All Star

I'm available for a campaign Converse. My commuting shoe of choice since 2006.

Let me put on my knit head wrap and grant you three wishes

It's really gross outside in Boston today. It's rainy, windy and cold. I bundled myself up real good.

I was on the T heading into work and a young boy got on the T with his father. The boy was so excited to be on the T and kept telling his father to look at things out the window. It was cute. I thought to myself "Enjoy it while it lasts kid because when you're older you're going to hate riding the T." Ah the bitterness of adulthood.

One good thing about being an adult is I get to buy my own stuff. One thing I've been considering buying is a knit head wrap. At first I was very anti-head wrap. I thought they would look silly on me and that only girls who wear Uggs and drink Pumpkin Spiced Lattes could pull the look off. I'm starting to reconsider my position though.

The Tasha "Fab Sparkle" Knit Head Wrap speaks to me in someway. It says "look like a genie but be warm and fab and sparkle". I can see Derek shaking his head now.

$28.00 at Nordstrom

The best friend is back in town

My friend Melissa has moved back to Boston. We had one of our usual lunch dates at Panera followed by frozen yogurt. Apparently I'm very good a frozen yogurt presentation because the cashier commented on how nice it looked. Maybe I have a career as a frozen yogurt artist.

I told Melissa about this woman on the T the other day that was right out of some SNL skit. Every time the train moved she would say really loudly "Woah! Woah Mr. train conductor! Slow down I can't get injured here!" She was completely serious about it too. As we're sitting on a park bench with Melissa's dog I hear this voice say "that's a small dog there!" and I look up and try so hard not to laugh because it's the same woman. 

I'm sure Melissa missed my amazing sense of humor while she was gone.

"Yea this thing has seen better days."

"It's been the star of many plays? ........"

"Did you really just say that?"

Yes, yes I did.

You're real cool.

On the way home from AWOLNATION (which was awesome btw) some bratty 18 year old was bragging about how he got kicked out of the show. He then saw the band in the alley outside the venue and got all of their autographs.

Yea you're real cool getting kicked out of a concert. I really loved your AWOLNATION bracelets made out of alphabet beads.

It's all good though. I didn't get to meet the band but I sang and danced and had a good time.
