[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Sometimes I take for granted just how lucky we are to live in South Boston. And then I spot our building, as the boat we’re brunching on cruises past Liberty Wharf towards Castle Island and think, there is no place like home. This…

Today: Here we go again.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]You know something’s up when you’ve got paper cuts from flipping through old issues of Runner’s World, your blisters grow their own blisters, and giant boxes of Gu Chomps arrive in the mail. It’s time to train for another marathon. I learned a…

Today: The books I wish I had written.

Today: Must do in Boothbay Harbor and {a giveaway}.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Remember that 90’s jam, “Back to life, back to reality?” I feel like the singer with the serious shoulder pads has been whispering the lyrics into my ear all week long. I’m back in the city, and back to the grind, but certainly…

Today: Signs of a great vacation.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Nick and I are back in Boston, after a relaxing week in Boothbay Harbor. I read two whole books while we were away. I am officially the last person ever to read The Help, after absolutely devouring Maine. These were two of the…
