In case you are unaware, Boston is laying on a big, ridiculous sheet of ice. Everything is frozen. The water, the snow. Everything. It's been sunny, but it's so incredibly cold that nothing is melting. Essentially, to get into any parking spot on the street you have to back up over a mound of ice to get into it. I tried to do that today and failed...miserably.
So, I back into the spot but as I try to complete the second phase of my parallel parking attempt I realize I'm stuck!! I can't move forward or backward because my wheels are spinning and spinning and spinning on a sheet of ice. There's nothing I can do.
Fortunately, these two nice guys walking past me offered their assistance. One placed a couple stones under my front tire, then they both pushed. Seconds later, I was free!!
So again, thank you so much for your help. I could have been stuck there for hours had it not been for you both.

Is is March yet?
...I ask because that's when I'm going to New Orleans for a much-needed vacation. No? Not March yet? Damn!!
Anyway, things have been okay. Here's a brief rundown of my life over the last week:
- Saw Justin Timberlake perform at the Garden.
- Split with John because we weren't seeing enough of each other.
- Worked, worked, worked.
- Drank, drank, drank.
- Rocked the karaoke stage at The Chuck with roommie Jill (aka Red, see photo).
- Had a guy over just to "hang out" and now he's obsessed with me.
- Watched the Celtics finally win a game.
- Am slap-stick happy now that the Red Sox are in Spring Training.
Oh the life of a single, working stiff never gets dull does it!! So what's on tap this week? Well, more of the same. Working all three nights this weekend because of the "holiday". (Honestly, President's Day is for buying cars, not going out drinking!!). That's about it. Hope your weekend is better than mine!!
Happy belated Heart Day!! Thanks to my valentine, Jackie, my BFF, for going out with me last night. Good times!!

Why some people suck!
Suspicious packages part of Turner Broadcasting marketing campaign
By Mac Daniel and Andrew Ryan, Globe Staff
Turner Broadcasting acknowledged late this afternoon that the suspicious packages that ignited fears of bombs across Boston today were magnetic lights that were part of an outdoor marketing campaign for an adult cartoon.
Turner was promoting Adult Swim's animated television show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" in Boston and nine other cities, according to a statement e-mailed by Shirley Powell, a company spokeswoman.
"Parent company Turner Broadcasting is in contact with local and federal law enforcement on the exact locations of the billboards," the state an e-mail statement said. "We regret that they were mistakenly thought to pose any danger."

It's just ridiculous!
Seriously!! I mean how can someone be so darn cute!! She's just ridiculous!!
Obviously, I visited with Taylor this weekend. Stopped by Beth's yesterday afternoon to catch up and have a little dinner. Talyor continues to grow and is only getting cuter!! She's really into playing with her toys on her mat (see photo). Her favorite toy is in front of her. It plays lots of music to which she shakes her booty...literally. It's adorable.
Her first birthday is just a couple of months away and I can't believe it!! She's such a little lady already!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In other BTD news, John's been in Florida all weekend (lucky bastard!). Picked the perfect time to go because the day he left (Friday) was the coldest day of the year. While he was basking in 70-degree temps, I was freezing my butt off in single digits!!
It's been much milder since, thank God. Anyway, he gets back this afternoon. Hope he's not too tan!!

Damn Pats!!
Okay. This picture pretty much says it all. Yup, after dominating our hated rival Peyton Manning and the Colts in the first half of the AFC Championship Sunday night, the Pats choked in the second half, allowing the Colts to advance to the Super Bowl.
Now everyone's going to say that Peyton finally did it. He finally won the big game, gonig through the Pats to do so. I guess you gotta give it to him, but I really don't want to!! Call me a sore loser, like the Chargers!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite the loss, Sunday was an absolute blast. Met up with Danielle, Phil, Molly, Mark, and Aindria at the Cask n Flagon and got prime seating with Beth (mother of Taylor, of course). She took great care of us!! From there, it was Dockside. From there, it was Sissy K's for some karaoke. From there, it was Hennessey's to meet the rest of the Bell in Hand crew. From there, it was me and John at my place doing shots of Dr. until 4 a.m.
Needless to say, I called into work on Monday!! : )
How was your weekend?

Meet Dosher (my kinda dog)
I totally don't know if that's how you spell his name, but that's how it sounds. Anyway, this is Dosher. He's my rommate's boyfriend's new pooch and he's absolutely adorable. Now, I'm not really an animal person, but one look at this guy and I melted!! I'm already his favorite auntie, of course!!
Dan, roommie's boyfriend, bought him last weekend from some family in New Hampshire. He's already everything trained and is an absolute sweetie. For the first couple days in our apartment, he was very timid but he came out of his shell soon enough.
Don't ask me what kind of dog he is because I really don't know. I've been told, but I can't remember. All I know is he's super cute and doesn't shed! That's all I need to know, really!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I know I will Pats/Colts on Sunday for the AFC Championship? Who wouldn't!! "Cut that meat," Baby!!
