Happy Memorial Day to the Lucky Ones

It's 80 degrees out this Memorial Day and I'm stuck inside answering non-existent phone calls. Today at the museum we have an Open House, however I can't imagine anyone not wanting to get out and enjoy this phenomenal day by sailing, boating, playing park games or BBQ's. I guess that's just what I'd imagine myself doing. That OR watching the National Lacrosse Championships at the Patriot's stadium in Foxboro!!! Yeah that's today too and George, Aaron and Ben will be in attendance. I do have to say that of all the lacrosse players out here, they are for sure missing an integral part of LAX appreciation: ME!

Haha, ok enough complaining. I'm not a complainer really. I'll just vent a few sentences and then get over it. I'm also over it now because I'm making overtime money, which is something very needed right now. I filled up my tank yesterday and guess how much the bill came out to? Any takers? 50 buckaroos. Yep, 50! For my little car! I can't imagine my fellow friends and family who have SUV's still...sheesh!

Anyway--these past few weeks have been quick, but full of adventure! I spent a few days up in Ogunquit, Maine a couple weeks ago with "Das Pechmann's" as I've heard them be called. We filled our time by going on a lobstering cruise where we learned how to catch those delicious creatures. And yes, they ARE delicious! I had never eaten lobster before that night, and I don't think I can go back to being a non-fish/crustacean eater. Seriously. If I can entice you at all to come out here and visit me in the Northeast, the succulent lobster should do most of the talking! So come on over and I'll take you on an 'wicked adventchah'! (horrible attempt at an accent included!)

Not only did we experience the Lobstah, but also beach bocce ball, fireside talking, a rousing game of pool, touristy window shopping, brewerys, a natural wildlife reserve, the senior Bush compound at Kennebunkport, picnic lunches, lighthouses, ice cream and finally a 400 pound pig! Holy moly was that pig awesome! It just happened to be sitting in a yard full of random animals off the side of the road in Maine somewhere. We actually turned around so we could drive by again. I thought I had been seeing things, but I do believe we have the picture to prove it...but I may have to post that picture later, as it goes that my camera is definitely kaputt right now.

I've actually been spending much time up north of Boston, for this past week Andrea was here to visit. Wednesday, we took a drive up to Hampton for breakfast with her friend who was to be married and then Saturday I drove to Lake Winnepesaukee for the ceremony and reception. It was beautiful right on the lake shore, although a little chilly because of the wind. The food was superb, can we talk about surf and turf?! Yummy steak and shrimp! We danced the evening away with odd flashbacks of the Wedding Crashers montage when they played "Shout". Yeah that montage, you know the one with the flying women's...well assets. Haha!

After driving to Portland that night, we had a bit of Red Sox ice cream, hit the sack and woke up to drive back down to Boston to catch a plane. After saying my sad goodbye to a good friend, I hit up the usual frisbee game back home. It was a great day for roughin' around in the dirt. I say that because I was falling down and diving most of the game...no blood=you're not trying hard enough.. ;)

So that brings me back to here today. I'm sore. Haha, sore and daydreamy. Day dreaming that I was out and about...but alas *sigh*... The good news is that June is almost here and I get to experience a Boston summer! We'll see how sweaty I get...

Also, keep you're fingers crossed for me while I continue my search for advancement opportunities in the career section of my life...
