Manicures and Massages

Had my nails done at Lauren's Nails on Charles Street. Nice establishment, clean and there's usually never a wait. As the woman was finishing my nails she asked if I would like a 5 minute massage. Since my neck has been bothering me it sounded like a good idea. Wrong. Am I the only one in the world who think massages suck? They HURT. Those peitie Asian woman nead your flesh until it feels like it will turn black and blue. Then, the more they massage the more it hurts and the more my muscles tighten up. This leads them to telling me I'm very tense and that I need more massaging. Not good.

Annoying Things in Beacon Hill

Have any of you ever noticed that people in Beacon Hill walk in the street all the time? Everyone does it - older people, students, mothers with strollers - just about everybody. To a certain extent I understand why. Beacon Hill sidewalks are narrow. They are frequently lined with trash or other debris. That said, they can be navigated. Maybe you can't walk and talk to your three BFFs while doing it but it can be done. I think in Beacon Hill it's time we faced the reality that sidewalks are for walking and streets are for driving cars. It's that way for a reason - because it's safer. So fellow neighbors and visitors please get out of the streets and please, please, please if I'm driving in a car don't give me a pissed off look when I come by and you need to get on the sidewalk. After all, that's exactly why the sidewalk is there.

Morning Walks, The Cliff Walk, Newport, RI

While I do adore the city of Boston my family is lucky enough to have a second home in Middletown, RI. Here we can escape the fast pace of city life and relax. Below are some pictures of where I take my morning walks -- on the Cliff Walk in Newport.

My First Time

My first post. Must say it's a bit more daunting than I thought. What to say, how to say it and, perhaps most importantly, saying it right.

This is a blog about my life in Boston. While I will discuss all things Boston I'll also tell you about my life, my job and my kids.
